make it england
Id consider that Gomer is meant to be a stand in for the ‘special division’ of draftees; they would literally pool togther the lowest IQ people they could find and put them into units togther.

I think its a clear reference to this, Kubrick was making.
Given that its a reference to a mentally disabled man being tortured and forced to kill against his will, him killing his commanding officer is completely justified.
I just think it’s been glorified to the point people who have no experience with ghetto culture outside of rap music start acting like they thugs n shit. Like “gangster” shit started happening everywhere with a shitload of people fully embracing not only the visual look but the “hustler” “gangster” lifestyle.
My perspective on this, is that the chicken came before the egg so to speak.
Rappers dont glorify these things anymore than metal bands singing about decipitating hundreds of people mean it; all art is fiction, we wont be calling a horror film writer a ‘glorification of violence’, we call it a fantasy, a reflection of reality; these people observe reality and reflect it in art.
Now, does some rap stray into reality? Sure, so does all art, unless we fully remove the human from art it will always involve a real person.
Voting for a liberal continues the cycle of underclass exploitation either way, id say the middle class cocaine user and the politican locking up millions of people into small prison cells for drug use has a much bigger hand in creating and perputating the cycle of violence that dominates liberal society in america.
To accent my point and show how the way you are thinking is a symptom of a moral panic, something that takes a few examples and inflates it into a wider group…
90% of drill artists banned from making music in the UK dont have a criminal record…85% of those banned without a criminal record are black.
Its the censoring of the mental production of black youths; the upper class do not want a culture based on anti-authoritianism to emerge.
noise music is unironically great and the justified reponse to capitalism ruining music
its all about the context of how you listen to it as much as the music itself, there is no bad art, just bad listeners.

I get this is an unpopular opinion but 99% of the time I hear this take its just barely masked racism.
yeah hold on let me just barter with my convience store for some food
so basically no better than the UK but you get 3-4x the salary, and sometimes have to pay for healthcare?
(the NHS is fucked)
I imagine the UK has stronger labor laws to protect workers
ahahahaha
no
in the UK you are basically ‘at will’ for the first two years of any job, you can be fired for no reason.
Iphone was made by communists
also if you go far back enough, lgbt+ and poly relationships are completely normal till they discovered something called ‘feudalism’ from the west…
The thing is they dont have daily wall to wall opinion pieces about how lgbt+ people are demonic.
They really dont have tabloid newspapers generating endless moral panics against minorties; so while legal protection is behind, people are just apatethic, they genuinally dont care about these things and co-exist with criticism lgbt+ people.
Its not perfect, but its also uniquely not violent either.
all people who actually did stuff
You seriously think MLism is just lenin circlejerking?
We also jerk over claudia jones, britney spears, tupac, malcom x, angela davis, thomas sankara, mao, deng, xi and north korea get it right thank you xox
Chuck Palahniuk
Not that im aware of, he wrote the fight club book and then sold the rights too it, this is him criticising David Finchers adaption and saying the Chinese censor of it is actually closer to the orginal book lol.
I dont personally mind the take that Jesus is a proto-revolutionary.
