Here's an example of #China using cinematic feature films as #nationalist #propaganda. It's a very well done, high budget film. You can see how dramatic films like these are used to promote nationalistic pride. These state approved propaganda films are disguised as entertainment & are designed to brainwash citizens, over time.
It's really not that different than how the USA film industry creates a lot of state approved propaganda films that aid/abet nationalistic BS too.
*Qomolangma is #Tibetan for #MountEverest
‐----------
" It is based on the real-life expedition of four #Chinese #mountaineers in 1960. Two generations of Chinese mountaineers who scaled Mount #Qomolangma from the perilous north side in 1960 and 1975. Finally in 1975 they held the last chance and successfully reached the top of Qomolangma. It was the first success in the history of mankind to climb Qomolangma's north side. "

Sometimes, when I get pissed off - I develop new to me terms. Today, I got only minor pissed off. Out of my mild POed temporary state:
"You fucking cuntnugget!" - emerged.
I have a count of 4 so far. 2 RCMP CIRG & 2 VicPD. All 4 quit their jobs after spending hours with me. I made an RCMP CIRG medic tear up & he was one of 2 who quit, shortly after being told to extract me by any means possible. I fought back. I told them that I'm a war survivor & they're all cowards compared to what I've already lived through/overcome - without using any violent weapons. I used tactics used to deprogram longtime cult members on them. I wasn't giving up, without hard fights. I am not scared of cops. My family is & I've had to train them since Dad died. They are now #ACAB too. They understand why I fight fascist cops better now.

Don't talk to cops is still solid advice for most activists. It doesn't apply in blanket form though. There's a few of us longtime veteran activists who will talk to cops. We know how to handle them, from decades of experiences. I don't advise talking to any cops, in general, otherwise.
Getting more cops quit their jobs is another part of ongoing essential community aids.

@onepict@chaos.social I read a few of your blog entries. Thank you for writing them. I totally understand the cobbles. I'm going to talk more about ableism & how it's affected my life for years. I'm going to bump your blog posts as part of my public awareness work here, to help #PeopleWithDisabilities be included more & not treated as PR afterthoughts.
