  • As a teacher in lower secondary school, kids don’t do any of that. They read physical media sporadically, and the main kind of digital media they consume is through IG and TikTok, furtherly filtered by the algorithm to appeal to their interest. The only kind of excitement I see in their eyes when talking reading is when talking manga, but even then it’s mostly because they got there through anime (dubbed, so not even with subs) first. Kids don’t read half as often as we did twenty years ago, and teachers get the blame for trying to push some sense in them through lecture.







  • I believe it’s more a matter of intent. The whole movie was sold to audiences as a portrayal of what America would look like under martial law and yadda yadda, while Garland seems more fascinated and preoccupied with the role of journalism and the meaning of images (photography but, as expected, cinema) in the context of narrations and in what perspectives those narrations gain through context.















  • We didn’t have Hitler in our history though. You can’t compare roman salute with wolf gesture

    Turks committed genocide towards Armenians (and are still perpetrating one against Kurds).

    Europeans are uncomfortable with the fact that we just exist.

    It’s not about existence, it’s about extremism and authocracy making its way into Europe. I don’t think any European looks at Hungary with respect, either.

    Italy also symbolizes wolfs.

    Wolves are not correlated, at least in Italy, to paramilitary fascist organisation responsible for war crimes. And, of course, there’s always a degree of interpretation: a wolf is a wolf, a wolf salute is a reminder of the violent recent history of Turkey and its accommodation into the reality of “the normal”.

    I believe Turkey is a wonderful country, but there’s definitely better ways to show patriotism than to resort to extremist political affiliation for doing it. Like, I don’t know, a Turkish flag?


  • the fact that “80% of Turkish people use it for pure Turkish symbol”, when it is clearly associated with a paramilitary fascist group, should really make you think about why Turkey isn’t looked upon nicely by the EU in general. And I’m frankly surprised that even as a “non right wing Turkish”, you still think it’s fine to use the symbols that are now widely associated with that political group. I can’t think of a world where I, an Italian, would use the Roman salute because it’s a “patriotic” salute and because “everyone does it here” (even if a large majority of Italians don’t, thank god).
