badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo
This is a closed book test
Truthfully it is impossible if for no other reason than that you can't easily say what counts as "imperialist propaganda" or an "American movie or TV show" to begin with.
Like if Cats 101 puts stock Vaguely Middle Eastern flute music for 15 seconds in its Egyptian mau segment, does that count as imperialist propaganda? It exoticizes Ancient Egypt, playing into orientalist tropes that form part of the ideology of imperialism. Or does it not count as imperialist propaganda, because you're still learning about a country in the Global South, which could inspire further curiosity? Or do these things cancel each other out? Or does it depend on the viewer's personal interpretation as guided by their personality and circumstances? Does the depiction of domesticated carnivores and cat shows promote classism and speciesism and lay the seeds of white supremacy blood quantum shit, more cornerstones of the ideology of imperialism?
How about The Mythbusters? Does that count as imperialist propaganda because they don't do land acknowledgements for the Alameda Bomb Range? They made use of Miwok land without the permission of the Miwok people and present this as normal and fine. Hell, because that bomb range is located right next to a jail and the crew had to cooperate with the sheriff's office to use it, does that mean it's copaganda too? Another component of imperialist ideology? Or is there some revolutionary use for a TV show that gets young minds interested in ballistics and science in general? Or do these things cancel each other out, or does it depend on the individual viewer's interpretation as guided by their personality and circumstances?
There is imperialist propaganda everywhere for those with eyes to see. At the same time, you can never fully account for the dialectical relationship between the text and the audience.

Some of it can be easy to slide but watching tv often feels like an infuriating experience because a lot of it appears in plain sight and barely hidden at least for the casual tv-show/movie
Shrek
A Bug's Life
Ants
A lot of animated movies really.
One could probably pick enough out but I have watched very few of those 
Easy. America doesn’t make propaganda. It makes truth.
Rambo
I think you mean Rambo II. Rambo 1 is horrible propaganda that suggests that the US doesn't treat their veterans with respect!
- all Steven Seagal movies
Your Honor, this man couldn't figure out how a gun works if you paid him. And they did. And he didn't. Your Honer, I rest my case.
Also: Is this "vibe operating?"
You forgot Black Cock Drown
SEVEN SEAGULLS?!
Mel Gibson's The Patriot
Song of the South (Live-Action Segments)
Soul Man
Big Mama's House
Big Mama's House 2
Big Mama's House 3
White Chicks
Little Man
50 Shades of Black
Tom Hanks' Big
Heh, give me a hard one next time. 
Boots riley filmography
I should have said from different directors or something 
Going to go ahead and say that Breaking Bad, while subtextually a scathing critique of the American healthcare system and capitalist greed, doesn't count because of the Mexico piss filter
Andor's pretty legit, though. Maybe Black Sails? Also, Cabin Boy (1994) is too incomprehensible to propagandize much of anything, let alone imperialism.
I haven't heard of Black Sails but I will have to give it a try
Blacks Sails is so good. Fair warning the first season is basically them trying to make pirate game of thrones, CW sexual assault etc.
But then they flip a switch around season 2 and suddenly it's way queerer and historical materialist.
Sounds great! 
I will definitely make it a point to watch it till and after season 2 then.
here's the ep to skip if you want to avoid it
One caveat: It hits a nadir on episode 4 (think of "Game of Thrones"-style depiction of sexual assault, although not quite as bad), but then it takes off.

the name Red Sails is inspired by the show
Black Sails.
Thinly disguised allegory about the Russian Revolution set in the fictional pirate republic of Nassau.
It's got imperialist siege, purges, civil war, famine, support for anti-colonial revolutions... remarkably complete.
Naturally nobody sung its praises. 😂

This is why I insist on "Black Sails."
I don't know how Jon Steinberg convinced Michael Bay to pay for 4 seasons of "Pirate Lenin's Revolt Against Britain," but he did!
And it's the only amazing revolutionary portrayal you'll find at that budget tier.
As usual with my threads, the final advice is "read theory."
In this case, the theory recommendation is "Black Sails."
I'm not being cute, I'm not being funny. If you like @RedSailsOrg you should watch "Black Sails."

weird connection:
Steinberg is also the brother-in-law of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
Dragonball Evolution. Nah fuck the thread title I need to get this off my chest. This shit right here pushed Japanese soft power back by centuries. This shit had to have been directed by frieza. There isn't bigger show of contempt from the west towards them since the plaza accords... Or that Godzilla movie. How will I explain to trunks that my greatest rival was nicknamed geeku? 
How can I look my grandchildren in the eyes and lie to them telling them about the wonders of the world fueling their childlike curiousity when this dogshit exists?
Dare I say this has done to my reality what cats has done to felines
Nah naw fuck them dudes 
You couldn't tell me this wasn't propaganda. This is saiyan erasure
Get off me kakarot I must fedpost. I must
Or that Godzilla movie. How will I explain to trunks that my greatest rival was nicknamed geeku?
That shit was so bad james Marsden chose to voice zamasu as penance for being apart of this abomination. This shit put all these actors on apology tour 
That movie is so bad it makes me think that they didn't know what kind of movie they were making until about 3/4ths of the way through production, when they finally got the rights to Dragonball, before that they were just filming scenes in the hopes of maybe editing the movie once they could attach some kind of recognisable franchise to it.
Whyyyyyyyy why why why why why did they make the kamehameha look like airbending? Why piccolo look like a power rangers villain? Shit smell like hippo tail. Smell like sweat off a honey possum's balls. This shit is the reason animals eat their young.
They were supposed to get a budget of $100 million, but ended up getting only $30 million. It's not the only reason the movie is bad, but it does explain a lot. Matt McMuscles did a video on it.
Oh come on I was THIS CLOSE to memory-holing that crock of shit!
They butchered you kakarot. They butchered you worse than cell did
This reminds me of a work colleague who got furious that The Battle at Lake Changjin was Chinese propaganda, and also furiously masturbates over the Top Gun movies.
and also furiously masturbates over the Top Gun movies.
With those shirtless volleyball scenes, I can't really blame him.
as the bible says i think, let he whom hath not jorkt it, serve the first sweaty volleyball.
Average day in 
Our Russian Front, The North Star, Mission to Moscow, Days of Glory, The Boy from Stalingrad, The Battle of Russia, Miss V from Moscow, Russian Rhapsody, Song of Russia, Three Russian Girls.
bang. easy.
Thanks for the list
My heart wants to say Adventure Time but I can't even say for sure. Ain't nobody reachin' 10 lol maybe you could get 10 books by American authors but they always strip the good shit out for the movies and shows. Like Jurassic Park.
Adventure Time is crypto-monarchist
Don't worry 98% of the class will fail (I once had a smug professor that used to say stuff like that because he would purposely make it too difficult)
Books would probably be easier. Books that were turned into movies? I am not too sure
Well if you just include books they can just look for books written by American anarchists or communists and probably get it easy. It definitely has to relate to like movies, tv, and wider pop culture (cause we know probably about half or more of Americans dont even read). Obligatory subtext is a CIA psyop.

Uhhh... the very hungry and not imperialist propaganda caterpillar
I'm a horror movie fan, this constitutes most of the stuff I watch (not EVERYTHING, just most)
