Have we retired the phrase, 'sticks and stones'? Is it legal for me to say 'I endorse hate speech, idgaf'? Why can't I hate you, in speech?

@RazorFist Ok i remember u mentioned an author who was an early diddy fan in your enter: the shadow video, but couldn't remember if it was the writer for shadow strikes. Damn
Below is the County of San Diego’s Fourth of July celebration.
I have an alternative plan:
1.Acknowledge America and its greatness.
2.Celebrate with fireworks and the American National Anthem.

"Michael Jackson and the Mythology of Art"
Two French fries.
No face. No name.
And yet, they are enough to activate a shared cultural memory.
At what point does art cease to be mere representation and become part of a culture's visual language?
Roland Barthes argued that myth is not a falsehood.
It is a second order of meaning. An object ceases to signify only itself and begins to signify something larger.
That is precisely what happens here.
Michael Jackson presents a remarkable case.
He did not merely create songs, performances, or choreography.
He created a symbolic vocabulary.
A visual language.
That is why culture can reconstruct Michael Jackson from almost no visual information.
His presence no longer resides in the objects themselves.
It resides in collective memory.
This resonates with Umberto Eco's view that cultures function through shared cultural codes.
The remarkable thing is not that people recognize Michael Jackson.
It is how little information they need to do so.
There is no face.
No body.
No costume.
Only a simple visual relationship.
This suggests something far more significant than fame.
It suggests a mythology composed of signs that continue to function independently of the artist's physical presence.
That is why this image is more than a visual joke.
It is a semiotic riddle that millions solve almost instantly—not because the answer is obvious, but because the cultural code has already been written into our collective memory.
@JakobKrause2@_TheNoisemaker@DiscussingFilm You clearly dont know who he is or watch any of his movies. This is from his last movie. Does this sound like "anti christian slop" to you?
“Robert Eggers is a history buff! Everything is soooo accurate in his movies…”
-Every one is ugly (because Middle Ages trope)
-Everyone is dirty (because Middle Ages trope)
-No color (because Middle Ages trope)
-Catholics are muh evil (because Middle Ages trope)
Why do people gaslight themselves into thinking this guy loves history? This is just Hollywood anti-Christian slop.
It looks awful.
@NonyaBidne94503@zynthustra@Babygravy9 Not all horror films have a dark atmosphere, but you cant take a man whos literally shot a film in black and white and tell me his choice of color pallet is less to do with classic horror films than it is about "akshully subverting the white race and their history."
@MatsurikoSM@soylentgen@Babygravy9 "The obvious agenda against European past"
Bro really wanted a bunch of blonde bombshells and gigachad lookin men in a random peasant village in a forest in a horror film.
@MatsurikoSM@GooniusEvola@Babygravy9 It doesn't *need* to be dark and grey, but complaining tht a horror film is using tht color scheme in order to promote white replacement is fcking retarded
@HowlingJones0@JFranklin7511@JakobKrause2@DiscussingFilm Wow, a post 100 years war and black plague europe didnt have tht many people to kill anymore, what a shock.
Have you considered tht the number of ppl killed isnt the only thing tht made it brutal and evil, but the method of how they were killed?
@Tholadar@JakobKrause2@DiscussingFilm Yup, this video is a pretty good short breakdown of the christian themes in Nosferatu in particular. Anyone claiming eggers is making anti christian slop are clearly ignorant and dont know how to turn off political brain

@GooniusEvola@Babygravy9 Exactly this. Complaining about dark and gritty color pallet in a horror film is fckin retarded. For things like Napoleon or the upcoming robin hood movie i agree making them sapped of color is wrong
@Babygravy9 Orrr this is a horror movie made by a man who makes movies with old school B&W horror film aesthetics.
At some point you gotta turn off political brain, shits getting old
@__RiseAgain__@nightwriter22@sorrowen "And everyone's gonna call him a genius for this."
So he should just do what almost everyone else has done with werewolves for the better of a century?
I dont see wuts wrong with a director known for attention to detail & historical accuracy using historical accurate depictions
