ricardoharvin, to movies

This article confirms my worst fear of the #movie #CivilWar depicting an unearned adoration of the #press in general, given its utter failure since at least the 1980's to consistently name people and things as they are and to "speak truth to power", at least here in the #US.

Apparently #film director #AlexGarland follows the disproven ethos of "objectivity", which avoids responsibility for stating truths, ignoring that such "silence" always sides with oppression

I started watching a video on the channel titled "What Civil War is Really About" which starts by defending Garland with the argument that everyone in the agrees on one thing, regardless of our , that we don't want a tyrannical .

That perspective suits (mostly) white people (white men, especially) and is a deliberate lie that ignores the truth that much, if not most, of 's appeal has always been his promise and attempts to act tyrannically.
