I worked for a woman this morning who had photos of Maggie all over her hallway, and I mentioned it of course. Smith worked with my client in 1970’s in Stratford.
She went on about what a kind and thoughtful person she was to her colleagues and everyone in general. Very genuine, I was glad to hear, even after winning an Oscar.
To be fair, the entire issue of blackface and its sordid history is much more nasty and nuanced than this thread would suggest.
If you want to find out more, look into the racist nature of minstrel shows, and their role in maintaining hierarchy.
I wonder if it’s because 28 Days Later was shot on a handful of Canon XL-1’s, which was a breakthrough as they were one of the first prosumer cameras that could pull off a film like that.
Kind of a nod and a wink at the heritage of the story to shoot on consumer hardware.
It does seem like a power vacuum if you are fully convinced that power needs to be centralized.
I am reminding the thread that the absence of distributed power is chaos, not anarchism.
Anarchism is anything BUT a power vacuum. All the power is carefully doled out via negotiation and in no way lacking.
Strong propaganda is devoted to supporting your presumption that power only exists when concentrated, so it does feel natural and common sense to say that.
Anarchism is a lot of work negotiating, setting standards and consequences, balancing forces. Constant politics without an overarching state. Any concentration of capability for violence or resource to be shared must be extremely carefully handled.
What you are describing is warlords filling a political vacuum caused by chaos.
Someone has been misrepresenting anarchism to you.

He’s the Star Trek Mirror Universe version of Chauncy Gardener.
‘Woman on the Edge of Time’ by Marge Piercy is the most solarpunk novel I’ve read so far. Fiction, that is. And it’s early '70s!
Why are you calling a polite irish male voice “she”?
So, you mean the proper response to the failure of a shitty business model is to introduce a worse business model?
Automation is so much less fun than institutional cruelty!
I have met some rentier class people (massive wealth from charging for their massive assets), and their kids went to expensive private schools. The scenario is not hypothetical.
Kidnapping is a real fear at that level of remove from the ‘Great Unwashed.’
Our local high school cafeteria program has been running a sophisticated version of this without the biogas element for years. Fish in very large tanks feed the leafy greens hydroponics growing in ranks of pipes on the walls, it’s very productive. Greens get used in the popular cafeteria (open to the public) and also the salad food truck they run in the summer months. Fish used are tilapia. Power is solar.
The students studying food services get a lesson in energy systems and food sourcing as well as running a business. Superb food, too. All mostly due to one chef-teacher with vision.
In Ministry for the Future, the opposition to this garbage is successful by bringing down a few choice flights with drone swarms, then announcing more will come to those who dare.
I used to own a W124 series Benz (bought used for 5% of sticker price, I ain’t no fauntelroy). Nearly everything on it was redundant or excessively skookum.
When systems that weren’t as rugged started going down, like the vacuum controllers for doors or the 4matic computer etc, the car still worked safely with reduced convenience. A few minor design flaws like the wiring harness but that’s it. Room to work under the hood, too.
It was built in '93 when the engineers still ran the company.
Current main driver is the super reliable '03 CRV.
One of our cars is a 2016 GM and I just unscrewed the cell antenna instead of ripping out the cell module. Tracking disabled, or at least unreliable. The subscription nav is useless and easy to ignore. I would like to figure out how to prevent the siriusxm ads built into the infotainment system, still.
I look forward to better infotainment hacks down the road.
You’re right, and he probably thought he was saying Argentina.
Your typical walk in. I got it.
Good comment, but in case anyone is wondering,
“gall”, as in gall bladder, as in ‘strong stomach’. Gauls did get stereotyped by romans as complainers I guess.
