The same career psychopaths who sold out filmmaking are helping to destroy our politics and journalism - and the BBC

[Andrew Reid]

I will always remember what a Leica manager in Germany said to me, which went like this: “I have read your publication today, and I have to admit that the tone is from my point of view unreasonable. However, we respect that journalists can make up their mind independently. But I think even for your reputation within the worldwide video community this article might not be helpful.”

Ha!  Ans it's said one is supposed to get more conservative as they get older. 

For me, I just can't shake capital being the vehicle for fascism.  Souped up and hot-rodded to fly down the drag strip.  And, yeah, since pseudo-capitalism is now global and we're on the verge on climate collapse?  Woo boy.  Buckle up.   

Yup, sure is hard not to be conspiratorial about it all.  As someone once said, have a nice day "you fucking dumbasses" 😉

Almost all of entrepreneurs in silicon valley are fascist, some are dumb enough to reveal it at first stage, and some are smart enough to keep it in the closet until the time is right. When your mindset is wrapped by this self generated notion of "people are too imbecile to understand what we actually do everyday", the next step is to assume they're not qualified to govern themselves! Forget Trump, the bigger one is JD Vance. They're all members of tech bro club who think they know how to rule the world.

By the way, BBC is known as a outright lier in my home country now. When I was a kid it was the only alternative source to absolute garbage propaganda of the state Radio/TV. We couldn't care about the integrity as much as we had thirst for "different voice". But after the internet revolution, everything changed. Not only it was easier to see how manipulative is their practice of so called journalism, but also was possible to research about their claims, their interviewed "experts", and even the statistics. But the most stab in the back move was giving the mic to hardliner individuals, or their advocates, with this silly justification of "giving both side the chance to express themselves to let people decide themselves". I don't need to hear Bin Laden's side you assholes. Or "former" ISIS members. Or "current" Hamas member, or an orthodox settler that even IDF is struggling with. I know what's their narrative. Just tell me what they've done. As a UK taxpayer you may not very well informed about the damage BBC caused outside the west. They sometimes pushes the narrative of a Washington DC based think tank that is literally a branch of Qatar/Iran/Syria/Russia/Saudi foreign ministry, despite all these criminals call BBC the "Zionist mouth". Its a long sad story with tons of nuances that a camera oriented forum is not a right place to expand.

Sadly a lot of the British public distrust it as well thanks to the constant brainwashing they've been subjected to by social media and Russian bots.

I see the influence of the BBC outside the West as an attempt to spread the UK's voice, and system of democracy, and of course in some places this isn't welcome and will never be.

The purpose of the BBC is not to please everyone all over the world all at once, they were set up only to serve the British public at home and abroad, i.e. with World Service radio and the BBC news website, if someone in Afghanistan or Turkey doesn't agree with a couple of programmes then so be it, not our problem.

At the same time, people in other countries are well within their rights to have different opinions, and to tell the BBC to fuck off out of their airwaves.

Equally, the Americans should fuck off out of UK politics too and leave us to it.

However when it comes to some BBC content like David Attenborough people in other countries would do well to watch it.

Maybe they would then have a less appalling attitude to animals.
