He's got an extensive filmography with a wide range of topics, all looking at things in a different 'way' in a manner that is designed to be uncomfortable.

Bitter Lake & HyperNormalisation are excellent at highlighting how a mixture of policies and events throughout the last half century have brought us into this uneasy, almost artificial state/reality we now find ourselves in - where people know something isn't right [believing in little other than consumerism] but find ourselves paralysed/demoralised by the complexities of the world to do anything meaningful about it.

>Google Image displays the zeitgeist better than either articles or blogs, because the internet moves through image and hieroglyph. The above was #8 for “HyperNormalisation”. The top were title screens,i.e. zombie ponytail, and (of course) Trump. I’m not going to talk about the “film” much, then, because reviews are boring and should be written by people who know art. I’mmuchmore interested in audience reaction, whichis all in the hieroglyph above.

>The problem with elites is that they’re smarter than the average rube, and they know it, which is why they’ll never get the point. They’re smarter because they do read the journals the periodicals and the magazines. They’re “informed”. But being informed means no filter, i.e. direct from the prop machine. Which means that they are prime propaganda territory, not Joe the Plumber.

Eh, I don't think you have to turn around and hate the film, just be a bit wary I guess?

The gist of the essay is a combination of theses by Nietzsche, Christopher Lasch, and The Last Psychiatrist. To break it down:

1) Curtis's film is adored by Woke journalists. Being journalists, they're both elites and part of the media, but act as though Curtis's film doesn't implicate them. They (and maybe Curtis) probably really believe that. They don't think it implicates them because they're probably Narcissists in the way Lasch or The Last Psychiatrist mean the term, that is, people with a constructed self-image that never gets tested in the real world or never amounts to doing anything (so, "We're the kind of people who would punch Nazis" vs "actually punching Nazis").

2) The point they all are focused on is the falsity and lies of those with power they take to be ruining everything. So they argue more for showing the truth about things, especially in media. Lou Keep argues via Nietzsche that this value, Truth as that which will improve everything, is on the one hand obviously false, and on the other an unexamined assumption guiding the Left elites.

3) Further, because truth doesn't have any necessary force to change behavior, if there were nobody using lies to have power, the people with this value about truth would end up inventing false narratives to explain why truth isn't changing anything without even realizing they're doing so.

I'm pretty sure that's the gist.

That's a good and hard fucking question. I'm not sure how to answer it without resorting to cliches about "focusing on your community", "pick and choose the arguments you engage in", "focus more on doing than the image of what kind of person you are," "stop freaking out about lies since they're not new," etc. Those are all certainly helpful, but these media elites aren't disappearing until the collapse of the university systems teaching them to act like this and the middle class that supplies them.

they are maybe inspired but they don't have a normal rational picture of a world they want to live in. this thing is explained in the movie. they got themselves into informational loops (a system in social media that shows you the content that you might liked based on PAST and CURRENT time). They organize themselves go on a streets and repeat stuff like "BLACK LIVES MATTER" they destroy shit (like what happend right now in Seattle) but they do not know how their society actually will work what's the deal who is who and etc. They have exactly what they need in their head but they don't know how to achieve it because social media they use doesn't provide them with it. And i would love to add that the same fucking shit happens with right wing people here on 4chan especially on /pol/ with their fantasy about going back to traditions.

All in all, manufacturing consent has never been stronger. They manner in which information is so absolutely filtered is detrimental to perspective. It's ironic that people are quick to criticize any calls of "fake news" as some "alt-right" whistle, or something like that, but take any and all information that affirms them without question.

Social media is the worst with this since it also incentivizes insta-news with likes and retweets/replies/etc. as well as perpetuating any current echo-chamber.

Social media is much more pernicious because it directly identifies the normalfag's concept of 'what my immediate social group believes that I must believe to fit in' with the propaganda disseminated from the top accounts. Beforehand they would uncritically accept the the NYT or whatever to some degree but they would have a separate irl social circle that had its own set of beliefs that would ultimately matter more in a way. This second circle has been totally subsumed into the propaganda ecosystem by social media.

Moving anywhere would require some sort of goal to work towards, but postwar liberal society is permanently backward-looking. Indeed, even positing some goal (other than a vague idea of equality and niceness) and encouraging people to work towards it reminds us of National Socialism.

He is literally saying that right now people are feeling that eerie shit in their heads but right now they dont know why. But will know. The only thing he did is he gave us a picture of what thing(s) led to what we have right now. He also talks about pessimism. Just read the interview please.

It’s just a matter of time before Adam Curtis makes a documentary on 4chan
>this is a film about an anime messageboard, that in turn would expose politics and business for what it really is: an empty, and often entirely self contradicting circus show, of which they, the socalled ‘anons’ were just another player
>but this anonymity turned out to be far more than that. It gave the users of 4chan the unique power to communicate without any filter whatsoever, allowing them to exchange their darkest fantasies and fears. However, as the anons of 4chan slowly figured out, much of these fantasies and fears weren’t being exchanged in a vacuum, but in the real world as well, away from the anonymized environment of 4chan, and into the real world, with its economic and ideological pressures, thus turning 4chan from a safe haven of the biggest outsiders of society, into the very opposite, the very tip of mainstream narrative culture creation, but everyone on 4chan still behaved as if they were the rebels of the system, and everyone went along with it, because this division of roles, of extreme outsiders and socalled ‘normies’ was reassuring, and would, paradoxically create an entire new system of management and control

Firstly it's not only fear but anxiety and he didn't say that this fear is just because. He literally told everyone that you should go and listen WHY they fear but nobody does that.

Weird that they used Instagram and not Twitter.
I know Instagram, like all other social media, is designed to keep you hooked on it, but it's just for butts. Big fat fucking asses being thrown in circles.
Even Adam Curtis can't pretend he's the only guy who doesn't jerk off. But there's porn for that. Instagram is just, "Oooh, here's a pretty girl, I like looking at her... I wonder if she has any leaks on PH... Yep. Sweet."

I kinda got that message.
This is the first I've heard of him and I thought to myself, like I'm sure hundreds of millions do, "What can I even do to fix it? Well people HAVE to be elected to be senators and representatives. Eventually all the ones now will die." But I settled with asking what I really wanted. And it is my own garden. I want to become strong enough to hold a job where I make enough money to support my family and entertain the things we like and love and be loved.

He's also right about the Zoomers.
Us millennials haven't ENTIRELY grown up in this information age but they have.

Also I meant that you guys are quick to pick up on data, parse it out, discard what's bullshit, etc. It's like being on 4chan. When you're hear long enough you just know what's a troll. You don't need to define it or refute it or attack it. You just know. Or spotting the glowers on /pol/.

Yeah that's true but i think the next generation will be even more cool with that. We are the first in that passage but now imagine our kids being raised to filter information even better with the right tech we hopefully will have at that moment. That's some breakthrough shit.
