  • Watch some Japanese programming, read any magazine there, and you’ll probably notice a huge amount of articles praising people living long, active, healthy lives. Is suicide an issue? Absolutely. But it’s ridiculous to say they don’t value life, especially when compared to some countries which seem to have a problem with gun violence

    Most Americans have their talking points ready to go around certain topics: healthcare, guns etc. But if you get anything that attacks the capitalism, building the country off of slave labor, or the country being the product of a genocide, that’s when the propaganda really kicks in.

    Oh and if you call it propaganda, then the denialism gets even stronger.

    I absolutely agree, I think you ahem that lead actress should win an Oscar.

    But I think it’s important that we don’t let enjoying things become synonymous with liking (mindless purchasing) the corporate products that are being sold to us at a breakneck pace.

    What ways do we have to still create our own ways to have fun? How can we make our own “weird barbies”?
