one of the best parts of master and commander is the surround sound. during the action, sure, but also during the calm scenes. the sounds of the water against the hull, the boards creaking, sails flapping. when it’s all around you, it’s so cool

the snyder cut campaign is interesting because unlike all the reactionary nonsense it's not astroturfed by right-wing commentators. people who wanted a thing self-organised into a years-long campaign with little to no hierarchy, continued despite near-universal negative media coverage, and kept it on the agenda until it happened. anarchists should be vibrating with pleasure at this point.

It's not WB caved to their demand after fighting against it, they wanted something to advertise why you should get HBOMax and saw that these rubes wanted something and decided to waste millions of more dollars to create half a new movie to be tacked onto a movie that by their own calculation flopped because it only just barely made a billion dollars.

yeah I've seen that analysis before, basically that neoliberalism stripped away meaningful political choice in exchange for the illusion of consumer choice. sure the democrats and republicans are the same, but you have thirty brands of cheetos to buy, so people leaned hard into identifying with brands and consumer choice as freedom, because political choice was no longer meaningful

the way this was framed when I read it, it was trying to help explain why people went apeshit in lockdown when they could no longer engage in consumer choice, and suddenly not being able to go shopping in person was communism - because neoliberalism trained a generation of people to see consumer choice as freedom

you might not be able to twitter-campaign your way into making a political party less garbage, but you might be able to twitter-campaign your way to a new doritos flavour or an even shittier remake of a hollywood movie

a political choice? yes I think, and in many places and across the ages. however societal elites don't like it when any amount of power is devolved and so attempt to claw it back.

I feel like you see the people have political choice in times of revolution, turmoil, or upheaval. The reason for this isn't that the people are incapable of enacting a political program, but only in these situations are the elites able to be toppled.

I mean you can argue degree, but FDR vs. Hoover or Goldwater vs. LBJ were definitely bigger political choices than Bush vs. Gore, without even getting outside the realm of American presidential elections

Neoliberalism requires a massive economic underclass of subhuman laborers with their rights and futures under constant siege by capital-holders. Sure, you can work for one of 15 different delivery apps now, but none of them will ever let you own a home, much less retire, because why would they? In a sense, these people are given the "illusion" of choice, but it's all entirely surface level and exists in a culture that is most similar to say, the Egyptian pharaohs.
