What movie should i burn and distribute for Xmas?
- Thread starter ClayTrainor
- Start date
It's christmas, don't doom and gloom your family. Movies about fascism and guaranteed economic collapse?
I suggest a comedy.
are there any funny videos depicting the crash of the dollar, rise of socialism/facism and loss of liberty? I'm serious, are there any? It might be a good way to broach the subject with people that are hardcore obama-bots (and former mccainiacs). the late night talk show hosts always skewer the politicians and its hilarious because its all true. it might be a good segway into the deeper topics

I don't know that there is any film exactly like you described, but I think that's a great script idea. One film that sort of comes to mind is "Brazil".

I'd stray away, personally, from distributing movies, such as America: Freedom to Fascism, with excessive amounts of hyperbole, lies, etc. just for the mere fact that it could turn folks off to your cause and then they tend to write you off as a kook and find themselves unwilling to listen or debate with you on anything. I'm not saying F2F is guilty on all accounts but by my own, incomplete, research it is guilty of some; and I'm sure you get the general idea of what I'm trying to say.
I'd tend to prefer a movie that concentrates on one or two topics, gets its facts straight, and presents it all in a reasonable fashion.
For me personally, when folks hand me these movies, nothing turns me off more than seeing someone manipulating information by presenting it out of context, munging sentences or quotes together to create new meanings, twisting things around, or outright fabrication.
Your first suggestion, Money for Debt, sounds like a good focused movie and, I'm assuming, you like it and it passes your personal measure of approval. I'll have to watch that one and check it out.

One movie that I have been handing out is "America: Freedom to Fascism". Even though you are Canadian, I still think it would be appropriate for you to distribute. It is a very great documentary for educating people.
You can watch it here: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=America:+Freedom+to+Fascism&hl=en&emb=0&aq=f# or you can watch a trailer of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y5jT58T3Tw

How about books instead? Pass out copies of 1984 by George Orwell. F2F may smell of kookery to those unitiated to the freedom message.

How about?
Plot summary for
The Corporation (2003)
Since the late 18th century American legal decision that the business corporation organizational model is legally a person, it has become a dominant economic, political and social force around the globe. This film takes an in-depth psychological examination of the organization model through various case studies. What the study illustrates is that in the its behaviour, this type of "person" typically acts like a dangerously destructive psychopath without conscience. Furthermore, we see the profound threat this psychopath has for our world and our future, but also how the people with courage, intelligence and determination can do to stop it.

I love comedies of error!
There is NOTHING better to pass around for this particular purpose than
Chris Martenson's CRASH COURSE
DVD image is now available through a torrent
Details here:
http://www.chrismartenson.com/make-your-own-crash-course-dvds
The online watchable version is here:
http://www.chrismartenson.com/crashcourse
His ability to clearly present the ideas in a very non-threatening way makes this a perfect starter/primer.
I've personally pointed 9 different people to it and they ALL have come back to me thanking me for pointing it out to them.
Enjoy.
