Opinion | You can’t be diverse if you exclude white men

It is not remotely true. It may be what Cameron intends, on some level, but his own insulation from reality as a super rich elite, along with his absurd historical analysis and unexamined paternalistic racism kneecaps the whole thing
"because on paper they're the exact kind of movies the lefty-progressive user base here claims to want: explicitly anti-colonial, anti-fascist, anti-military, pro-socialist stories about fighting back against oppression"
Is this actually true of the Avatar films?

I really don’t understand how people think politics works. You can’t say “I don’t want to change the system” and then complain that the system is not giving you the result you want!
It’s a lot like the people who say “America is just too racist for things to ever change”. Okay. What do we do, then?

I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

I would love some recommendations on good things to read about how countries that have done actual disarmament/truth-and-reconciliation stuff after deposing authoritarian regimes have made this sort of thing work, when and where it has worked.

Lynch's work goes back to the avant-garde filmmakers of the twenties and thirties, who were often painters—and he himself trained to be one. He takes off from the experimental traditions that Hollywood has usually ignored. (1986)

I just saw someone say that @mcuban.bsky.social has killed himself. Apparently enough people on here told him to do it, and he took the plunge. May be a rumor, of course. Let me know if you have any details, please!
If true, it would certainly cast a pall over this year's Christmas celebrations.
