This is a quote from the NYT article: > But attacks would come from the left, not the right. Arab and Muslim filmmakers and their white supporters accused Ms. Smaker of Islamophobia and American propaganda. Some suggested her race was disqualifying, a white woman who presumed to tell the story of Arab men. > Sundance leaders reversed themselves and apologized. > Abigail Disney, a grandniece of Walt Disney, had been t…

Is the left wing not supposed to be racist? I've heard some interesting views from some old school union guys. I don't really think of racism as a strictly partisan thing, the biggest partisan divide is regarding who the mob is most likely to be racist towards.

Blue collar racism is much more inclusive than white collar D&I. The expectation is to be able to take and give shit there.

Just a reminder that the horseshoe theory isn't fact.

Though with the dirtbag left now flirting with being "trad cath" and softening towards racial realism, it does seem like it's approach the intellectual fascism of the nazis.

This is incorrect in its facts and framing. I’m not going to get into a long political discussion, this doesn’t seem the place for it, but I would implore you to look further into this before you start throwing words like fascism and nazi around when you’re talking about people who basically want to give everyone free healthcare.

The Guardian pretty much contradicts the spin being offered here: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/jul/29/jihad-rehab-for... Sounds like it isn't a "woke mob" coming after her, but the actual subjects of the film really feel like they're being taken advantage of, their perspectives are really distorted and they felt she was re-interrogating them. The idea that the film is being cancelled solely because the filmm…

It doesn't seem obvious to me that we should happily censor a film because the subjects of the film don't like it. Suppose we did a film about the Sackler family https://www.hulu.com/series/the-crime-of-the-century-63a06ef... and the Sackler family says they don't like it -- they feel they were misrepresented, and claim they didn't consent to participation, despite having signed consent documents. Is that legitimate…

It isn't being censored. Private institutions like film festivals shouldn't be compelled to show it if they find that they agree more with the petition by the subjects of the film. Other institutions can show it if they like. That is just freedom of association.

Is national socialism antithetical to free universal healthcare?

Left wing very-online activists and blue collar workers are mostly disjoint sets.

Maybe one day in the future we'll start linking directly to the things we are writing about so the readers can form their own opinions.

Edit: after a quick search online, I could not find a way to watch it (paid or unpaid) so why the fuck are we talking about this?

The Bruenigs are assholes but that doesn't make them "approach the intellectual fascism of the nazis"

Good for her in the end, though. The National Review and NYT both wrote articles about her film. I'd not know about it had her film gotten cancelled.

A great encapsulation of how 'cancel culture' means absolutely nothing.

This film was 'cancelled' and that's why it was written up in two publications with national audiences.
