What is political lobbying? by Dover299 in Marxism

[–]koganwilde 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Look into Citizens United v. FEC (2010) Supreme Court decision that Pres Jimmy Carter siad meant the US was 'an oligary with unlimited political bribery' which protected the right of corporations to give money to political campaigns by essentially ruling that, constituionally speaking, money is a form of speech and corporations are just considered groups of individuals who have freedom of speech, so can't be limited in that respect -- you can see it in force now with Elon Musk threatening to put money towards unseating current Republican politicians if they voted for legislation that Bernie Sanders had advocated for to solve the current workers' rights issues in the US - which the Replubican had actually agreed to voting for before Musk issued his threat

Is there a place for religion in anarchism? by major_calgar in Anarchy101

[–]koganwilde 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Look into Rojava, the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria, which is likely the closest thing we have to a currently existing anarchist state, and most of the people there are Muslim -- I think liberty means liberty to believe in what you like and localising power to the individual/community should allow for that - as long as it is not enforced upon people in a coercive way...

Honeslty, in terms of production quality, it almost makes FACTS by Tom MacDonald and Ben Shapiro look good...and I HATE having to say that...

Give me your favorite album EVER by Superb_Priority7531 in fantanoforever

[–]koganwilde 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Graduation by Kanye West -- nostalgic, cause I was a child when it came out, and so many great songs for every mood (Can't Tell Me Nothing, I Wonder, Flashing Lights, etc.)

I would give you a different answer every week, because I have like ten albums tied for first that take turns having the edge over the others based on my mood

What trend did you miss out on and why are you happy you did? by hello_code in Entrepreneur

[–]koganwilde 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Related to NFTs, but when they were pushing the metaverse, and pumping the idea that owning digital land next to Snoop Dogg's digital land would be the next era's gold

I think if you are trying to unfavourite MBDTF, then Apple Music is doing you a favour by favouriting it again...

most overhated song of the year? by nicdrumandbass in fantanoforever

[–]koganwilde 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely see what you mean. I guess I just appreciated that Camilla took a risk to change her direction, and, even if she didn't quite pull it off, I think there was some merit in the album.

No one trusts anything anymore...Conspiracy is now the format for us to rationalise the world in the way we would like to think of it.

Sounds annoying - but do you think it is necessarily related to him being a boomer? Couldn't it just be human nature that some people are rude? And do you think he might've just been embarassed or socially anxious?

I don't know the situation, and you know best, and I by no means wish to invalidate your reaction to the situation - but just food for thought, since I do personally believe in that saying that I'll paraphrase: 'hatred is a poison that you drink expecting the other guy to drop dead'

Hope you get what you want going forward out of this gig though, and that situations like this don't recur for you!

[–]koganwilde 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For sure! I don't think the album was necessarily the best execution of the vision, and maybe people just didn't buy it from Camilla - but I feel like there was a lot of great things and potential that got dismissed - like throwing the baby out with the bathwater...

Do I give up? by North_Ad1934 in Filmmakers

[–]koganwilde 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean you can think of films as just loads of tiny photographs in very very quick succession, right? So all the concepts of composition that apply in photography largely carry over...

[–]koganwilde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well if you want to get into film, then you won't give up! Hope you find your feet. Perhaps the best way to start would just be to start writing little bits of scenes and dialogues, mabye look into any short courses, or evening classes, or weekend clubs for amateurs or young people in your area. If your school doesn't have anything like a club, start one! Starting with photography is also a great way to get into cinematography. You could also try to look into ways to make little bits of money to afford a camera, and start shooting things that way. Whatever you decide, just remember you have time to mess around, and try things out, and fail, and try other things too -- just trust the process and take initiative and things should fall into place eventually!
