All boards


Welcome to b/MediaReview.
 
This board is to serve as an archive of reviews and commentary on books, games, movies, and other (mostly mainstream) media from a non-mainstream perspective.
 
Many people underestimate the psychological and social effects of pop culture, thus it is important for us as dissidents to analyze this content and understand its propagandistic undertones, so that we do not let it affect us subconciously, and so we can better counteract it.
 
Please follow all general arete.network rules and properly tag your links.

Hello fellow consumers,
 
As always thank you to everyone that participated in the last weekly and remember you are Operation MONKE!

A federated decentralized discussion board with reddit like functionality. Censorship resistant by design.

The maker of wolfballs even said he would personally help anyone set up their own instance for free that can federate with his.

Perhaps the arête network might consider running on a federated codebase such as Lemmy or lotide and work together to insure their users aren't censored

Set restrictions on Centralization of Power.
 
Also, limit the Centralization of Force.
 
A Standing army, like a standing police force, and a standing State,.. all are to be opposed.
 
The Founders had the right idea in limiting the Power of the State, but the involvement of big Money in politics took us away from a small State.
 
There should be a type of Rollback mechanism in the Constitution of a Republic.
 
If the lever is pulled, the State would be rolled back to absolute necessities.
 
Or the lever could be a cessation of personal taxation, that would roll back the State.
