if i see one more fucking ‘reject modernity embrace tradition’ meme i’m going to lose my shit
it costs literally $0 to give a fuck about jewish people and not use fucking nazi slogans as ‘memes’
just don’t say nazi shit. it’s easy. think about this: will not saying nazi shit have an adverse impact on my quality of life? if the answer is yes, then you’re probably a nazi. if the answer is no, then you can stop it and easily make the world a safer and more comfortable place
I had no idea this meme is a fascist dogwhistle thing. But I looked it up and it’s clearly a thing fascists like, taken from the first two definitions of fascism by Umberto Eco, who lived under Mussolini’s fascist reign:
The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.”
The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.”
David Allen’s Primevals, an unfinished stop motion film. There’s all kinds of talk they may finish it after 20 years.
I am delighted to announce that after 50 years in production, Primevals, David Allen’s passion project, is finally complete and debuting today at the Fantasia Film Festival in Canada.
Alas, David Allen died at age 54 in 1999. But his friends made his vision come to life.
Im Very Pleased to share this website my partner directed me to. You’re interested in retro techand/or robotics, The Old Robots is a unique and surprisingly thorough archive of all sorts of real robots from as early as the 1940’s to as late as the 2000’s. I especially love the dated nature of its aesthetics. But, seriously- there’s pages and pages worth of these robots. Many robots also include videos embedded in the site to show them in action.
An excellent resource for those interested in robotics, the history of robots, robotic toys, or just goofs like me that love to see little funny hard metal and plastic fellas.
