haha no i do not. why didn’t you keep linking me this stuff whilst you were karma surfing?SuperJail Warden wrote:
I saw that movie. My favorite cop movie is Training Day.
Do you remember when Lowing got into the empathy vs sympathy debate? It went on for like 10 or 20 pages and eventually the cuck mods closed it.
In that case, the 1966 battle of algiers will do. Keep in mind what I told you about social processes and how you can recognise them in the film. Have fun with your homework.uziq wrote:

yep pretty much anyone with an interest in the history of film or modern literature will encounter this movie.SuperJail Warden wrote:
Battle of Algiers was assigned to me in my "Modern French History (1789-2014)" class at Rutgers. The professor was a published author of French history. I almost bought her book off of Amazon and regret not doing so. One of my professors for my class on the American Civil War writes a column about it in the New York Times.
'documentary' film can be fictional and non-fictional, you know. you are going to shit yourself when you hear about this underground film-maker, werner herzog.Larssen wrote:
A documentary? Are you sure you've seen the film? You had no notion of analysing conflict through social theory so I reckon it's worth a rewatch.
I have dozens of recommendations. Feel free to call, tata.

Can you do one for me now? Good or bad, I will give you karma.Larssen wrote:
Ok 'jokes' and me mirroring your language aside honestly you strike me as a very unpleasant individual. Maybe appearing to be knowledgeable in at least epistemology and some other philosophical disciplines, but that is easy enough if one has a humanities degree or two like we do and if you (semi-) focused on these subjects + have a jstor/ebsco search engine within a finger's reach. I imagine as a publisher there's also plenty scholarly material passing your desk every day allowing you latest insights in all sorts of fields and the continuous opportunity to freshen up in areas already known. So no surprises here, it'd be quite easy to interject in a number of given (basic) arguments with good insight.
But earnest attempts to shift perspectives, shine new lights or nudge towards deeper understanding, especially opposite of people who never or only amateurishly read any plato, marx, durkheim, hegel, what have you, seem to be a rarity. Instead that lucky position of knowledge is (ab)used to beat down the perhaps incomplete comprehension of others and insult their limited albeit shallow views on politics or society, which you well know they cannot be faulted for. You lord it over those who you can terrorise, in these fields not unlike a seasoned boxer beating up an adolescent newbie on his first day in the gym. Though much like in that example, the newcomer will in all likelihood leave feeling discouraged and angry, while you aggressively pace around holding some delusional victory lap in a now empty ring.
Jay is not wrong when he called you venomous. And I'm sure you'll argue it is just forum persona, but over a very long time you seem to have conditioned yourself to include an insulting and self-satisfied air whenever you put words on paper, always pushing just a little farther. It's consistent to a degree I'd say it's highly unlikely this is only creatively imagined and not a facet of your personality. Even if it was, your enjoyment derives from a repulsive sadistic pleasure in making others falter. Your little niceties and token compliments at my address after you 'put me to task' have a manipulative taste to them which I won't indulge. I doubt we would get along well at all in any setting.
Uniforms don't bother me. Half the fun in high school was seeing how far I could bend the dress code without getting detention.Larssen wrote:
No actually if you followed my posts in the last few pages it should be abundantly clear that I'm not at all opposed to expressions of identity, I'm also not fond of enforced uniformity. You of all people should be pro-banning uniforms with your individualist outlook. Clothing is a way through which people get to explore their own identity. Let them.
As for school, the purpose is as much education as it is about socialisation. Homeschooling makes people hopelessly detached and while I'm sure individual tutoring can be great (after all that's how the intelligentsia in history were taught too) I don't trust the average parent to have the chops to properly educate their children. I also don't believe the benevolent motive of providing the best education is the primary reason parents choose this option, really. It's about control over their kids.
