Remove All American Media And Culture From Your Life

Anti-imperialist comm to help you in your personal journey of cultural anti-imperialism.

American culture has spread all over the world, it has dumbed down and impoverished our variegated pre-colonial and non-capitalist cultures. Every time you yank yourself, a bit of their culture worms its way into your mind. Sometimes it's explicit propaganda like Top Gun, but sometimes it's subtle: the contempt shown for the poor, the celebration of selfishness, the value-system of their empire.

All inputs enter the mind, are absorbed, and blossom as thoughts and deeds. Mass-produced culture dulls you and makes you a boring, mass-produced personality. And nations are losing their personality by letting one imperial power do this to them.

That the empire is doing this as a more-or-less deliberate tool of influence doesn't need stressing.

Stop doing this to yourself. Don't watch their television. Don't watch their films. Don't read their stupid news and politics: ABC and CNN and NBC and the rest. Don't be so fucking boring. You don't have to be boring and stupid. Turn off your TV. Pick up some of your country's classic books, or listen to African funk, or go to a storytelling night.

The upcoming superhero movie Bunny-Man has unveiled first-look images. The movie, set to begin filming in Italy, recently welcomed Michele Morrone, Franco Nero, and Ana Golja aboard to join a cast that already includes Mike Tyson, Bella Thorne, and James Franco.

Per Deadline, the movie's producer, Andrea Iervolino, will be the character of Bunny-Man himself, "whose real identity is a closely guarded secret." Bunny-Man, which Motus Studios is selling at the American Film Market, will mostly shoot in a virtual set. Tyson, who has a fight coming up in a few days against Jake Paul, has, however, completed his own part in the film, which is intended to be the first part in a proposed trilogy. Bunny-Man will feature an anonymous multimillionaire superhero who fights evil wearing a rabbit mask. The character is fueled by the desire to seek retribution for his sister, who kills herself after being attacked, images of which end up on the internet.

Lervolino also revealed that the project will come with the release of a music single alongside the Bunny-Man movie. The producer believes the upcoming movie will be a game changer for the superhero genre. "I believe Bunny-Man will revolutionize the way we think of superheroes," Lervolino said. "This character embodies both mystery and modernity, not just in his story but in how the audience relates to him. It’s a privilege to produce Italy’s first superhero franchise, and I’m confident it will leave a lasting impact on the global market."
