the shame and cringiness in the jupiter ascending letterboxd, with people “admitting” they liked it and then giving it 2 stars, as if it’s not solidly doing exactly what it ought to and giving all of these people a good time
as if letterboxd is a place where you can only rate the objectively best movies highly and you don’t have a million b-z-movies that have been given 4 stars unironically by fond viewers (such as myself) 
let yourselves say that you were moved dammit! what are you trying to prove here, that this movie doesn’t deserve your affection? if you’ve seen it 3+ times and intend to do so again, then maybe you like the movie!

I feel like I can make the case that Malibu's Most Wanted (2003) dir. John Whitesell is an example of blackface/minstrelsy being performed in its modern-day iteration. I. E. the taking of black aesthetics, language, and mannerisms to "find/express yourself" and folding them into your persona so much that they become "you." See B-rad's instance that he's actually Black and your average white tiktokkers that claim clearly Black aes, language, and mannerisms as "not belonging to any particular race" and "belonging to all of us" as an example

Me: *tries to talk about the ways the Shinobi system has changed and bettered*
Some random person: Urge but these things didn’t change and even though we know why they didn’t change (even though the reason’s are 100% bs i agree) it means NOTHING CHANGED EVEN THOUGH WE SEE CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE WAYS THAT THEY COULD BE DONE WITHOUT CREATING PLOT HOLES AND TAKING AWAY THE NEW GEN STORY FROM KIDS

the thing about human pet guy is the moniker “human pet guy” and the fact he gets memed on so much really does undersell how unhinged the original post was. this is not a man that’s just into puppy play. this is not a man who would simply like a sub to walk around on a leash. this is a man whose ideal world involves him legally being able to lobotomize a human, sew their mouth and eyes shut, and keep them as a slave that they treat like a “pet”. DERANGED. he is not your average kinky weirdo with bad political takes, this man is gonna be on the fucking news one day.

William Earle Williams, 
“Windows Slave Jail” (2009), Port of Spain, Trinidad, Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, WI, 
The Philadelphia-area photographer examines the transatlantic slave trade and how the development, growth, and malevolent persistence of slavery intersects within Great Britain, the US, and the West Indies. 
He’s pictures uncover the infrastructures that fueled the Atlantic slave trade and positioned Britain and the US as industrial powers, simultaneously creating an institution that damaged innumerable lives and continues to persist in their physical and social landscapes. 
Using his camera to expose obscured and silenced histories, Williams intends to transform how everyday places are understood and experienced.

The Slavery Abolition Act didn’t apply to India or Ceylon, and though it technically liberated over 800,000 British slaves in the Caribbean and Africa, all of them (excepting only small children) were forced to continue to labor as unpaid “apprentices” for a further six years, on pain of punishment. Under the terms of the act, they were protected against overwork and direct violence from employers, but remained their “transferable property,” subject to punishment for  “indolence,” “insolence,” or “insubordination.” So many black West Indians were jailed for resisting these outrageous terms that full   emancipation was eventually brought forward to August 1, 1838. [...] A century on, the independence of most Caribbean colonies in the 1960s was followed by decades of racist British immigration policies that not only sought to prevent black West Indians from coming to the UK but eventually, under the Conservative governments of the past decade, ended up deliberately destroying the lives of thousands of lifelong legal residents by treating them as “illegal migrants.” In the meantime, for almost two hundred years, British taxpayers funded the largest slavery-related reparations ever paid out. Under the provisions of the 1833 act, the government borrowed and then disbursed the staggering sum of £20 million (equal to 40 percent of its annual  budget -- the equivalent of £300 billion in today’s value). Not until 2015 that debt finally paid off. This unprecedented compensation for injustice went not to those whose lives had been spent in slavery, nor even to those descended from the millions who had died in captivity. It was all given to British slaveowners, as restitution for the loss of their human property.

In our capitalist system, you can be jailed for a victimless action then used as a source of cheap slave labor for corporations.
In our capitalist system, if you're suicidal, you can be involuntarily committed to a hospital and forced to pay a massive medical bill.
In our capitalist system, corporations can price gouge, hinder repairs, and plan obsolescence, and you can't compete with them because they own the patent.
In our capitalist system, homeless people are arrested for loitering or panhandling.
Capitalism is not freedom. Not even close. Capitalism is tyranny of the rich.
