Documentaries - Red pilling but not necessarily right wing -

[Distant Stare]

Collapse
Collapse is an American documentary film exploring the theories, writings and life story of controversial author Michael Ruppert. Ruppert, a former Los Angeles police officer who describes himself as an investigative reporter and radical thinker, has authored books on the events of the September 11 attacks and of energy issues. Critics in the mainstream media and in D.C. called him a conspiracy theorist and an alarmist.

Peak Oil was bullshit and the amount of natural gas we have basically is a metric fuckton that acts as compensation. Collapse was predicated on peak oil, which never happened. In fact, oil production is increasing and the fact is we now how to get a lot of oil out of shale and other sources that we didn't before.

There's also the opposite conspiracy theory that oil is being produced by yet undiscovered bacteria/organisms.

Truth has a right wing bias and therefor so do redpills.

Hjernevask was made in 2010 and is half in english, half subtitled. Hjernevask means brainwash. Made by a norwegian sociologist/comedian. It covers a variety of topics that have modern taboos.

Most of the format is interviewing academics, then showing that interview to acadamics with different opinions. And keep going back and forth until one drops their spaghetti, starts mumbling about their own position being purely hypothetical. It's fun cringe shit to watch.

Episode 1: gender paradox
Why do jobs become more segregated as economic prosperity grows?

Episode 2: Parental effect
How much influence do parents really have on their children?

Episode 3: Gay/ Straight
To what extent is sexual preference innate?
(doesn't really answer the question, but more interesting episode than expected)

Episode 4: Violence
Are people from some cultures more aggressive than others?

Episode 5: Sex
Are there biological reasons men have a greater tendency than women to want sex without obligation?
(weakest episode and worth skipping imho)

Episode 6: Race
Are there significant genetic differences between different peoples?

Episode 7: Nature or nurture
Is personality acquired or inherited?
(expands on episode 2)


A good thing about these documentaries is that you could watch them with nearly anyone without offending them like crazy. Everything is packaged very well. And the studies they mention are interesting to follow up on.

Africa Addio (also called Africa: Blood and Guts)

Just going to drop a content warning here because this really, really isn't for the faint of heart, including scenes of actual murder, mass killings, horrific animal abuse, and general savagery. It's a mondo film (sensationalist documentary) made by a bunch of Italians in 1962, following the process of decolonisation in Africa and the resulting chaos it brought as the European powers pulled out. It got slammed for being racist and blatantly sensationalist when it was released, and not without good reason, but they do show a lot of very interesting and brutal things from that time period, including some of the only footage of the genocide of the Arabs in Tanzania. Some people say that some scenes are staged, but the filmmakers deny it. They also say the film was made to show that the colonial powers should have done more to help Africa transition, rather than just abandoning it. Watch it and be your own judge.

Anwar Congo and his friends have been dancing their way through musical numbers, twisting arms in film noir gangster scenes, and galloping across prairies as yodelling cowboys. Their foray into filmmaking is being celebrated in the media and debated on television, even though Anwar Congo and his friends are mass murderers.

Medan, Indonesia. When the government of Indonesia was overthrown by the military in 1965, Anwar and his friends were promoted from small-time gangsters who sold movie theatre tickets on the black market to death squad leaders. They helped the army kill more than one million alleged communists, ethnic Chinese, and intellectuals in less than a year. As the executioner for the most notorious death squad in his city, Anwar himself killed hundreds of people with his own hands.

Today, Anwar is revered as a founding father of a right-wing paramilitary organization that grew out of the death squads. The organization is so powerful that its leaders include government ministers, and they are happy to boast about everything from corruption and election rigging to acts of genocide.

The Act of Killing is about killers who have won, and the sort of society they have built. Unlike ageing Nazis or Rwandan génocidaires, Anwar and his friends have not been forced by history to admit they participated in crimes against humanity. Instead, they have written their own triumphant history, becoming role models for millions of young paramilitaries. The Act of Killing is a journey into the memories and imaginations of the perpetrators, offering insight into the minds of mass killers. And The Act of Killing is a nightmarish vision of a frighteningly banal culture of impunity in which killers can joke about crimes against humanity on television chat shows, and celebrate moral disaster with the ease and grace of a soft shoe dance number.

A Love of Cinema. In their youth, Anwar and his friends spent their lives at the movies, for they were “movie theatre gangsters”: they controlled a black market in tickets, while using the cinema as a base of operations for more serious crimes. In 1965, the army recruited them to form death squads because they had a proven capacity for violence, and they hated the communists for boycotting American films – the most popular (and profitable) in the cinemas. Anwar and his friends were devoted fans of James Dean, John Wayne, and Victor Mature. They explicitly fashioned themselves and their methods of murder after their Hollywood idols. And coming out of the midnight show, they felt “just like gangsters who stepped off the screen”. In this heady mood, they strolled across the boulevard to their office and killed their nightly quota of prisoners. Borrowing his technique from a mafia movie, Anwar preferred to strangle his victims with wire.

In The Act of Killing, Anwar and his friends agree to tell us the story of the killings. But their idea of being in a movie is not to provide testimony for a documentary: they want to star in the kind of films they most love from their days scalping tickets at the cinemas. We seize this opportunity to expose how a regime that was founded on crimes against humanity, yet has never been held accountable, would project itself into history.

And so we challenge Anwar and his friends to develop fiction scenes about their experience of the killings, adapted to their favorite film genres – gangster, western, musical. They write the scripts. They play themselves. And they play their victims.

Their fiction filmmaking process provides the film’s dramatic arc, and their film sets become safe spaces to challenge them about what they did. Some of Anwar’s friends realize that the killings were wrong. Others worry about the consequence of the story on their public image. Younger members of the paramilitary movement argue that they should boast about the horror of the massacres, because their terrifying and threatening force is the basis of their power today. As opinions diverge, the atmosphere on set grows tense. The edifice of genocide as a “patriotic struggle”, with Anwar and his friends as its heroes, begins to sway and crack.

Most dramatically, the filmmaking process catalyzes an unexpected emotional journey for Anwar, from arrogance to regret as he confronts, for the first time in his life, the full implications of what he’s done. As Anwar’s fragile conscience is threatened by the pressure to remain a hero, The Act of Killing presents a gripping conflict between moral imagination and moral catastrophe.

I have to grudgingly respect Communists who chose to stay Communist while there was a band of crazy as shit gangsters murdering them en masse. I can't imagine any of the soy and avocado filled Marxists limp-wristedly lobbing rocks at police stations in the Current Year choosing to stay Marxist if the RWDS ever get off their asses and go all Gotterdammerung on them. I almost wish we could switch our current Commies out for the Indonesian ones.

If something can not go on forever, than it must stop eventually. Even if oil and gas reserves are many times larger than we thought years ago, they still will run out eventually. Bacteria can not be producing a continuous supply of oil and natural gas because the carbon cycle does not allow for it. Oil and gas are found in anaerobic environments, where there is not access to atmospheric gasses. This includes CO2, which would be the only carbon source that is continuously available.

Dude, its very simple. Look at graphs. Oil production is increasing. It has. not. peaked. It will likely not peak in our lifetimes. Yes, oil and gas are not unlimited. However, we have technologies that: reduce oil and gas consumption, more energy and cost efficient extraction, gradual replacement to other energy sources.

In the Albert Oil sands, there's enough oil there at current consumption rates to fuel the planet for 100 years. Peak oil was nothing but a massive erection from preppers and people who heavily invested in the survivalist movement. Every peak oil 'milestone' has been missed. Prices were supposed to increase, instead they've decreased. Peak oil also did not predict efficient and economical extraction from oil sands.

Peak oil will never matter in any significant way. It is in every sense a crack pot idea to sell books.

That’s why the Oil Sands are under such sustained propaganda attacks from the Soros-funded left. North America could easily be totally energy independent, but the political influence of the globalists stands in the way.

We could have been expanding those reserves even further by switching to nuclear, but that would have been too easy.

The best part about nuclear in Canada is that, somehow, reactors that were supposed to be built from coast to coast somehow got cancelled and the parts sold off to India, Pakistan and other 3rd-world nations once Ontario and Quebec got theirs.

This is on Tubi BTW:

Africa Blood & Guts (Aka Africa Addio) (1966)

The end of African colonialism in the 1960s ushered in the wholesale slaughter against people and wildlife as mercenary squads fought for control.

Along with the rest of the Jacopetti and Prosperi mondo's (aside from Mondo Candido).

There's Killing of America which is a very good Mondo about the rise of violence in America starting from the Kennedy assassination.

And Titicut Follies is pretty much soul-destroying.

You can say "Well, the treatment of mentally ill people has changed." But 1967 wasn't that long ago and I doubt it's changed all that much.

I like Adam Curtis's documentaries. I'd say they lean left wing but his theories don't easily fit into political sides. Also they're just a trip to watch, cool soundtracks and archive footage, the narration sounds great. I don't agree with everything but he has interesting ideas and a good eye and ear for making films.

This is Hypernormalisation where he puts forward the idea that elites have set up and maintained a 'fake world' for public consumption since the real world became too complex.

This is a great one, I've actually watched it twice now since 2016.

I think one thing the movie kind of hints at although it never explicitly states it is a prediction that something like the Arab Spring was going to happen in the west, which has already come true.

 

[Pokemonquistador2]

And Titicut Follies is pretty much soul-destroying.

You can say "Well, the treatment of mentally ill people has changed." But 1967 wasn't that long ago and I doubt it's changed all that much.

Had to stop watching Titicut Follies after a scene where they force feed a starving man lying apathetically on a table. He dies a short time later. What a horrible way to go. The rest of the documentary isn't much happier.

I'd recommend a documentary called "Brother's Keeper" (1995)

About some inbred hillbillies who were railroaded into a murder charge by an over-zealous prosecutor, who was convinced that one of the men had murdered his twin as an act of mercy. Shows the cultural divide between city and countryside. It's heartwarming to see how the suspect's community stood behind him, when it's clear the justification for the charge was as flimsy as paper.

As for Adam Curtis documentaries, I'd recommend "The Way of All Flesh" (which is about the Henrietta Lacks story. A black woman's hyper-aggressive cancer turns into an exploitable cell line that makes millions for the medical companies who cultivated it, but nothing for the poor family of the dead woman.) I'd also recommend "Century of the Self" about the invention of emotion-based marketing, the rise of propaganda public relations, and how governments came to use it to control their own populations.

Even better when the guy doing the force feeding has a cigarette in his mouth and the ash is just about to fall into the feeding tube.
