And now, let's begin with today's Vortex...

It's like Catholic QAnon.

Fake news — it's the bane of the culture right now and was first called out by Donald Trump in the 2016 campaign. It has obviously since become a staple of the American lexicon. Of course, since Trump took that label from the Marxist media and turned it around on them, those same media types have developed a new label, much more formal sounding: "misinformation."

Misinformation became the watchword for the wave of censorship that followed on social media accounts everywhere. Had it not been for Elon Musk's Twitter purchase, that would likely still rule the day across the board. That said, misinformation has become a problem and it is not limited to the secular realm. There is a wave of Catholic misinformation flooding social media almost daily. And for Catholics with a microphone or a platform, this borders on the unforgivable sin.

Any Catholic claiming to be faithful and speaking routinely to an audience has a duty before Almighty God to tell the truth fully to the best of his ability — period. Making an honest mistake is one thing, although even those should be far apart and few in between — and then acknowledged when they happen. But the stream of clickbait headlines and show names and talking points — just to get eyeballs — is beneath the dignity of someone who calls himself or herself "Catholic," especially in faithful, orthodox circles.

Over the past few weeks, the off-the-wall claims and discussions and pure, unsupported conjecture have been alarming:

• UFOs are a precursor to the end of the world  
• Biden installed a Baphomet mirror in the White House
• Cdl. Pell was murdered
• George Neumayr was murdered 

The list of crazy goes on and on. There are many reasons why this is wrong and unethical, even immoral in some cases.

First, for quite some time now, the line has been blurred between actual news — meaning factual, verifiable information — and the "commentary" that inevitably follows in its wake. It's not enough for Catholic social media and internet personalities to simply grab some headline and then recklessly wax on about it, especially if it's just for clickbait. Since the line is so blurred, people who are listening oftentimes do not make the distinction between nutty commentary supported by nothing more than thoughts swirling around in a host's head and the actual data point — the piece of accurate information.

@Apollo

I’m just blackpilled on movies altogether bro.

Too much woke shit, even when they subtly do it, it’s still obvious.

Between that and the constant recycling, copying previous plots and rebooting, there’s little point in them.

Woke shit aside, it’s clear there’s an obvious decline in general quality post 2018.

No originality, or soul goes to these movies, it’s just a quick cash grab.

Who cares. Better to channel energy spent in frustration into either making your own media or investing more time checking out what's being made by independent and foreign productions.

For example, Marc Zicree's "Space Command" is finally out. Here's a link to the two-hour pilot movie he was able to put out thanks to his kickstarter crowdfunders. It's ray-gun gothic inspired sci-fi, so it's got the tried and tested "white" male lead, women in distress, and generally action oriented. Check it out for yourself before he's sold it to some cash flush retard tv execs who'll wake it to death.

@Apollo

I enjoy watching modern movies. Torrented, of course, since I am not giving those assholes my money.

Why?

Well, it's not because they're enjoyable. It's because stories are my latest obsession, which is not surprising, given that I retired early to become a science fiction writer. And, while the stories are no good at all, I enjoy thinking about how I would, as a writer, fix them.

Too much woke shit makes it hopeless, of course, but there's lots of stuff out there that is just flawed stories, because this generation of Hollywood has been so steeped in "social message vehicle" scripts that they have barely any writers left who know what makes a story.

I use this sort of movies as a kind of practice problem for my new profession.

Take Disney's "Moana", which I believe came out in 2016. Not super woke, doesn't spend a lot of time bashing white people (there aren't any to bash), not really offensive in any way. Just kinda... mediocre and bland. The production values are great, but the story is fundamentally broken.

But I had a great time picking it apart and thinking about how I would fix it with minimal changes. Came up with a pretty good answer, too.

I think that Hollywood's complete intellectual bankruptcy represents a wonderful opportunity for literally everyone else who has a story to tell.

@Aging-Chad I see, thanks for filling that in.

Perhaps there exists a different affinity you could find a niche in, or if not exercise some leadership and form one.

At one point growing up we got involved with a YMCA based camping group. Not only was this great for us kids; the Dads got a decent social group out of the whole thing. Also think sports including things like mountain biking and motorsports, where unlike Team sports which involve a huge commitment of practice and other support work, you're doing the prime activity much of the time spent.

You don't need to convert "all" the Dads and families in town, just 2 or 3 to start who aren't already prejudiced against you. This gives you a chance to reform your reputation over time as people who actually see you as you are mingle with the biased ones and departures from reality in your reputation end up getting corrective feedback applied in absentia.

I really do recommend camping in particular. So many great childhood memories, and it's a place where your Dad and Man skills can really shine.

@MentORPHEUS

I enjoyed Avatar a lot. The no 2 is boring, but still ok.

Up to a decade ago, you could have BP films that were still good because they were... relaxed? That's the best word I can come up with at the moment. They were saved by their reference to humanitarian values.

Current movies single-mindedly push for wokeism, that presumptuous pseudo-progressiveness that is stomach-churning for anyone sane.

Btw, it currently seems that all progressiveness is pseudo-progressiveness, and were it not for some true progressives of the Men's Rights Movement, most notably the psychologist Herb Goldberg (of The Hazzards of being Male), Warren Farrell and Esther Vilar, one might conclude that this were indeed true in general.

So, returning to the issue, the current cultural production is as hair-raising as any Nazi cultutal movement. You have to search for exceptions, if you want to relax and watch something that's worth its time.
