Best work yet. Thanks drinker!

So there's still hope? That the past won't be watered down and erased?

HBO drops Gone with the wind because it shows a more complex relationship between slaves and owners then just Good guy/Bad guy 🤦‍♂️ There is a book "Jack Hinson's one man war" Jack freed his Slaves at the vary start of the Civil war. He offered them the opportunity to stay on as paid workers (Many did). After the Union wrongfully killed his sons and hung their heads on his gate. . . Jake started his one man war. Soon after that (Knowing he was hunted by the Union army) He gave over ownership of his holdings to his former slaves. As I remember, his place after the war became a small Black owned Township. It is also worth the read to see why you don't kill the son's of a Scott Irish old man and hang their heads on his gate, something like 36 Union officers paid with their lives for that mistake

I absolutely hate it when people try to tell me "Art is political!". It CAN be but its not inherently political. It does my head in when people try to hamfist contemporary politics in their art or universes and then wonder why no one likes it. I see it with amateur artists and writers too.

@@ConkerBirdy but it is inherently so. Refusing to put contemporary politics in your art is as much a political statement as putting contemporary politics in your art. Just because you are sick of hearing it, doesn't mean it isn't true.

@@jakerockznoodles Yes, it is a statement. An artist who refuses is, in effect, saying "My art means more to me (& hopefully to the viewer) than the hot-button controversy of the week. I will not reduce my work to being a propaganda outlet. I wish to explore &/or articulate subjects other than [insert political issue here]." Most of all, to refuse to make one's art political is to declare that there is more to life than ideology.

Art and politics have always been intertwined. So it's has always been around this is not new. Art has always been censored in someway. The Sistine chapel, Michelangelo David, the Canterbury Tales all the way to the Birth of a Nation. People are just angry now because it Targeting things that they like.

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” - George Orwell, 1984

I remember reading 1984 and brave new world in highschool and not really understanding a lot of the nuances like thought police and thought crime. Needless to say I now know everything those books were about thanks to modern day politics. It's shocking how many people don't realize what they are doing.

It's unfortunate so many people see that book not as a warning, but as an instruction manual.

I thought the same about the statues when I first heard about them. After learning a bit more about them, I can understand removing them. They weren't there for hundreds of years or even made of stone. They weren't history; they weren't art. They were cheap, hollow, factory-made, metal representations of slave owners; erected in the late 1980's to mid 1990's as a giant middle finger to the black communities they were placed in. They were put up as if to say "know your place." I agree with you on movies and books though.

@@yobogoya4367 Curating the past is important as the vid says….even the bad bits to remind us of worse times. If those statues had been made of stone or stood for millennia it would not have stopped the brutal mob pulling them down….and they had gotten to the point of pulling almost all statues down, and ironically putting up one of a Marxist activist instead.

Orwell was a prophet... unfortunately

Unbelievable how relevant this is today.

That's what the SJWs are aiming for. The totalitarian ideal. What can we even do to stop it? I honestly don't know. They hide behind social protections, while they try to destroy everything we've built in the last centuries.

And it’s only going to get a shit-ton worse as time goes on. The only thing keeping society somewhat civil and organised is economic prosperity. Once the bloated and mismanaged economy starts to tumble and the globalised trading system it relies on falters, we’re going to have an economic meltdown the likes of which have not been seen since the Bronze Age collapse. And after that, the entire western world will go down one of two paths: neo-Bolshevism or neo-fascism. I prefer the latter over the former, but either way we’re in for a impoverished, confused and totalitarian future. So buckle up fuckers, this is just the beginning.

All this time and history to fall back on, yet people just do things the exact same way. Over and over and over. You can't fix stupid. Can't wait till I'm dead.

Hillary Clinton actually stated in her memoir that 1984 was about trusting authority and those in power. We live in bizarre times my friends. And now it's becoming dangerous before our very eyes.

Even now, various content, including old video games thought to have been lost in limited production and movie cuts which were never distributed have been saved through these methods of collection and transmission. Do not rely on stacks of discs and tapes to save that which you believe should live on, spread it to the world, and let the internet fulfill its grandest purpose: preserving memories and experiences otherwise lost to time.

Rorshach was a broken, sad, insane man with more hygiene problems than all his fingers and toes and a moral compass that only had two directions on it. Evil, and slightly less evil. He was a good character. But quoting the ramblings that eventually went into his journal isn't the way to go.

@@chaveztyndale8468 On the other hand, as viewers we admire the fact that he was the only character who had principles and stuck to them. It doesnt mean we support murdering petty criminals, etc.

@@chaveztyndale8468 I think what the idea behind the comment (Rohrschach or not) is exactly what it says... never compromise your morals.

​@@chaveztyndale8468 The point was that you can live on your knees or die on your feet. Rorshach was a child of severe abuse so the only thing he possessed which couldn't be taken away in his childhood was his sense of right and wrong. But the point of his character and the end of the story was this: Yes, you may choose a pragmatic action to forestall an inevitable outcome -- and at the time, it seems the lesser of 2 evils. But compromise only postpones the inevitable -- and that postponement builds up a force which will make the tragedy far less survivable. Say what you will about Rorshach, but he understood human nature more than everyone but the Comedian. That's why the Comedian was killed -- he discovered the grand plan. We know from the end of the story that secrets can't be kept for long... and a lie which saves the world, can destroy it many times over when that lie is discovered by humanity. That was R's point: if you compromise now, you'll compromise again and again, until one day you look back and discover that your string of compromises has yielded hell in your wake -- a hell which eventually became the greater evil. That's why the phrase "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" was created: it's an allusion to all the compromises one makes in forcing your version of utopia upon an eternally flawed reality. Once you compromise, your normalize. The next compromise is just as easy as the last... and so on. Eventually, you're so invested in the long journey to your utopia that you've compromised the last of your humanity --- you'll eliminate anyone or destroy anything to achieve your ends. Rorshach wasn't broken or insane, he merely adapted to his circumstance -- he was exactly appropriate for he world within which he existed -- brutal and without pity. He understood the long view -- that when you compromise on your principles, the anchor of your conscience is snapped and your principles are set adrift. There's no way to predict where an unmoored conscience will alight. Too often, it ends in bigger problems than your compromises were designed to resolve. You'd do well to remember the context of Watchmen -- people were killing each other in the streets on the regular. Any man who lives on those streets wouldn't survive without being more brutal than all the rest. Especially a man who possessed a firm sense of right and wrong. Watchmen was a story about moral compromise and how different personalities behave under those conditions. It's also about the domino effect of small choices which propagate into world changing tragedies. The Comedian was a nihilist, Rorshach an idealist, Dr Manhattan was the useful idiot -- no matter how much power he possessed, he was easily manipulated into performing a role for smarter men. Owl was a man who had lost himself by shutting off an essential part of himself -- a lost soul. The women of the piece were at odds with their own nature and their relationships in circles they chose to travel within. Veidt was an utter pragmatist who allowed a single small event change his fate and the destiny of mankind. The Comedian was ultimately responsible for the choices Veidt made. His throwaway insult gave rise to the deaths of millions. That's why even the Comedian's dark comedic nihilism gave way to despair in view of the apocalyptic punchline for which he was responsible. So, by the end, Rorschach was the only character left alive who didn't compromise on his principles. And Veidt knew Dr. Manhattan would be forced to take care of that loose end as well. As readers, we were meant to be conflicted in the end. We were meant to ask ourselves: does the ends justify the means? For the Comedian and Rorschach, the answer was "no". The Comedian couldn't live with what he knew without eventually revealing it. Rorschach didn't find out until the end, and so he was eliminated as well. In the closing scene, we see Rorschach's journal on an inbox at a magazine. We know that eventually the secret will get out... and all that death will have been for nothing -- as people come to understand that they were fooled and they can merely return to their self destructive ways. I guess in a way, the end was saying that the ends could possibly justify the means... but only if the ends are relatively permanent. Otherwise, you've just compromised your morality and eliminated millions for nothing... much like fascism and communism has done. Veidt was just another in a long list of impermanent solutions designed to create a utopia but which are ultimately destined to fail.

As broken as he was you have to admire his strength of will. His fortitude to never bend or waver. Rorschach is one of the greatest hero's in my mind because he let nothing stop him, he wasn't rich or super powered. He did not have a large organization behind him. What he did have was the will to continue the fight no matter the odds. Even facing death he would not waver.

"THERE....AHHH.....FOOOR........LIGHTS!!!"

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

TNG Picard, not that shadow of a feeble man from the new series

At this rate we will never get anywhere near Capt Picard or Star Fleet ideals.

Picard was always a traitous pompous ass as fiction and actor. If the speech were put into practice I would change my mind. However, looking at the early portayal of Ferengi, as whip wielding lying capitalist told all I needed. The most relevant episode of all of Star Trek was Turnabout Intruder. Last one written by Roddenberry to warn of the coming misandry.

The irony was Lincoln revealed himself to be a tyrant by taking 1 giant shit on the Constitution.

He who controls the past controls the present. He who controls the present controls the future.

what are we exactly? surely we will dimish but what do you see in the current "US" thats worth perserving? I'm not against keeping films as they are, but what do you see thats actually being hurt in the content of these altered works?

Slowly turning every person into a object, an identity, not an individual.

@@m150985 It isn't so much about the small edits they are aiming for, it is the bigger picture. This is the equivalent of the Nazis burning books, because they didn't want people having a different perspective to the one they were forcing onto the people with their own propaganda. This is 1984, The Memory Hole, where the past is continually changed, in order to control the way people think in the present. They wont stop with a few small changes either, they will use them to condition the public into their usual apathetic attitude, and then make bigger changes once we have accepted it. The Drinker makes this point in his video, this is just the beginning, but it certainly wont be the end.

@@m150985 The truth.

@Call Me Ishmael What's even more ironic is the fat women in the scenes that Al insults them have stated they weren't offended and understood it was a joke and it was also meant to show what a crappy person Al is by insulting others around him to make him feel less miserable. People had thicker skins back then.

@@peebay3515 Just wait. Those Al Bundy insult compilations will be scrubbed from the internet because some bitter, humorless individual will find them offensive.

@Call Me Ishmael It would never even been produced...

You need to understand that nothing say say holds logic thats not the point. They say whatever it takes to get what they want!

Every one of these women that think they're making their mark on history in film will be erased from history, as those that came before them have been. If history doesn't suit the narrative, change history.

@@joeyrozic1100 I'm going to name several from cinema alone. Sarah Connor, Trinity from the matrix, Princess Leia, there are so many good and strong female characters in films. Strong doesn't mean devoid of weakness and character flaws. It means standing up and fighting in spite of weakness.

They should watch more indies instead of being spoon fed corporate slop.

Censorship is by it’s very nature, the destruction of diversity.

When i learned in school, what happened in europe in the thirties i always thought:"How could the people not have see where all this was leading?" I guess the people then also thought to be in the right, no matter how ridiculous it sounds nowadays. A lot of them must have thought it would not concern them. In retrospect we have learned that there is no medium better suited to transport propaganda than film and radio broadcasts....and that it concerns everyone in society. #Reddragon Wisconsin

Maybe books about adults doing sex things with children deserve to be burned, but that would be antisemitic.

@@dansmith1661 If you're referring to Lot's daughters getting him drunk and having their way with him, it gets called out as folly in the text.

@@SarajevoKyoto No

@Fighting 4 Liberty antifa isn't the government or local powerful religion. it's nowhere near the same thing as censorship. they aren't going to make the bible go out of print by making a political statement

*Black Woman

Because only some black lives matter. Didn't you know?!

shes not black..she didnt vote for Joe Biden... But on a serious note: You're correct...but to them she's just collateral damage

We already censored the first ever black person to win an oscar. That went to Song of the South's Uncle Remus. He was originally only going for a voice gig, but Disney liked him so much he gave him a lead role.

@Doss Koont Only their criminals are revered, just look at the history of the last 20 years or so. Blacks that actually made something of themselves like Thomas Sowell, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Candace Owens, Larry Elder, David Dorn... etc are disowned... And by blaming some nebulous external force as the cause of all their woes they make themselves powerless to grow and accomplish anything which is how they enslave themselves to external forces like the Left.

Don't become too cynical and jaded. It's a tough path to walk down being stuck in the past. I'm as sick as anyone of the assembly line movies. But there are still good films being produced. 13 days about the soccer players from thailand getting stuck in the cave is quite good. Prey by Disney, the new predator movie is surprisingly good despite pushing the party line. I would recommend that. The Lincoln lawyer is good too.

@@aaronjackman4037 I know there are still good films, but it's not like the old movies. Today, especially Disney with Marvel and Star Wars, the companies are mass producing the productions which they never supposed to do. Even CGI looks extremely bad even with today's tech. I'm a fan of Star Trek, but the new ones just make me to hate the thing I loved in the first place. I'm not the cynical one, they are. They put a mask on the face of their production and expect us to beleive that thing we're looking at is Star Trek. It seems like it, because of that mask, but it's extremely off put to the point that the mask is now like a decoration. They are using the name just not to make a brand new story, which they think will not bring the same money.

@@yabada7866 I'm not arguing with you. Films aren't really made to inspire anymore they're fabricated to make money and create merchandising revenue. I just think that letting these films turn us into cynical jaded people is not the way to go either. I was born in the 2000's as well. I'm not going to let them make me too cynical. I don't know what you thought about infinity war, didn't really have any on the nose pandering moments like Endgame had, and actually subverted all my expectations by the end of it. I love the old war films like bridge on the river koi, a bridge too far, the great escape. The old films are genuinely something else If you look at media, like Disney and Microsoft own so much of the media industry. I don't know how they're getting away with it. It's not in the public interest for billionaires with agendas to control public perception and the flow of information. Even more worrying, like the video says, censorship is growing, and that's what it is. I don't believe in offending people deliberately or out of ignorance but sometimes a spade is a spade.

@@aaronjackman4037 I agree to an extend, yes you're right we shouldn't let fictional things control our life but they can be inspirational. Most of the audience is just ignorant that they will say "ah that makes sense" to every message the producers trying to give from their productions. They know people are idiot and they know they don't need the people who actually say meaningful things against them. Because these people are only the fraction of the population and those idiot audience/fans are not even gonna listen to them, because they're racist when they criticise the production they liked. Big companies are getting away with that, because again, the idiot audience.

@@yabada7866 No, I think a lot more people know that the quality of everything is declining, music, film, TV is declining than you're giving them credit for. We just all accept it. Maybe 30 percent, less actually think the new stuff is as good as some of the older classics

1984 coming to us in these days and times.

Nailed it

Absolutely, George Orwells warning of thought control in his novel 1984 coming to fruition in 2020.

Stop copying and pasting other peoples comments for likes.

This guy thinks reading Orwell makes him woke. Well most likely just googled quotes from it but I digress. Sad.

Our little resistance..

You made the classic mistake of thinking "censorious" means 'censoring', it doesn't. Censorious: severely critical of others.

Hi Jean, fancy meeting you here.

@@AL-ws5yi same to you 😁

Right on Jean!

That could be exactly how it was meant. The people doing the censoring are some of the most insanely, pathetically critical people I've ever seen.

why, Don't Know!

Because they silence people all the time now. This platform is insanity. Cold, measured, insanity.

Because it's your "feeling".

no one cares about your 'feelings'

No way! Are you from the future too?
