CALEB’S MOVIE REVIEWS

SUBJECT: The Harry Potter Series & the Ideology of J.K. Rowling

VERDICT: 1/10

The Harry Potter series is not a harmless children's fantasy. It is a carefully crafted propaganda narrative that perfectly encapsulates the sterile, managerial, and anti-revolutionary worldview of 2000s Blairite Neoliberalism. It is a Vaginic text, promoting a world where the correct, state-sanctioned form of "rebellion" always reinforces the system.

The central conflict is not between revolution and order, but between a corrupt, inefficient bureaucracy (the Ministry of Magic under Voldemort's influence) and a benign, competent, liberal bureaucracy (the Ministry as it should be, embodied by "good" officials like Arthur Weasley).

Harry Potter's struggle is never to dismantle the system. He is not a revolutionary. He is a restorationist. His entire goal is to purge the Ministry of the bad guys (the fascist Death Eaters) and return it to its proper, liberal function. This is the core fantasy of Blairism: that the capitalist state is not the problem; the problem is just having the wrong managers. Change comes from electing good people to the existing institutions.

The story is hyper-individualistic, centered on a "Chosen One" predestined by prophecy. Victory is achieved through a small band of friends, not mass, organized class struggle. The series is drenched in bourgeois sentiments: the primacy of blood family, the safety of the inherited home, and a celebration of cozy consumerism (Butterbeer, sweets, etc.)

The wizarding world is structurally sterile. It does not create; it manages.
* No Economy: There is no visible production. Wands, food, and goods simply appear from shops. There are no factories, no farms, no working class. The series presents no critique of empire, capital, or extractive globalism. Its conflict is a petty, internal ethnic purge within a closed, feudalistic magical society
* The Horror of "Muggle" Technology: The wizarding world is explicitly anti-technology, anti-industry, and anti-innovation. It is a society frozen in a pre-industrial, feudal stasis. This reflects a deep, reactionary fear of the Phallic thrust of human progress—the very progress that built the modern world.

Sign up for cryonics and get cryopreserved when you legally "die". There's a chance you will get to be reanimated in the future when technology is more advanced.

A calculator for calculating the odds of cryonics working:

nta but living for only another ~200 years is what makes me not care about dying. It's such a ridiculously minuscule amount of time, of all the things a human can do and learn and see and so on I'm only going to be able to experience like 0.000001% of it. Even something simple like wanting to watch every movie that exists is impossible because you'd die before you got anywhere near the end. For whatever reason some people think that's how it should be, I have no idea why. If the human lifespan was 1000s of years then I'd probably care about dying much more

Lol the default dataset says there's a 63% chance of a 50 year old who signs up for cryonics eventually being revived. Actual clown shit, we have zero evidence of it actually working. Even if you were revived it probably wouldn't be the same consciousness anyways.

I think people cope with how short life is, they can't change it so they choose to pretend it's actually a good thing

>Lol the default dataset says there's a 63% chance of a 50 year old who signs up for cryonics eventually being revived.
If you disagree with the parameters, just adjust them in the calculator.

>Actual clown shit, we have zero evidence of it actually working.
There's even less evidence of burial or cremation working. If you think it's a good thing to be alive instead of dead, a small chance of being reanimated seems better than no chance at all. And what's the downside? It's not like you can take your money with you when you die.

>Even if you were revived it probably wouldn't be the same consciousness anyways.
You could say the same thing about your current consciousness from moment to moment. You might not be the "same" consciousness you were a second ago, if the concept is even coherent. The Buddhists say the self is an illusion.

Things would be considerably less annoying if hillary won, I'm sick of seeing the whitehouse talk about "memes" and shit. Aside from accelerationist nonsense there's no real good that came from trump winning. Even the people turning on him now seem to be mostly moving to retards like fuentes, this country is sick and needs to be removed for the world to advance.

It does mean he masterminded the whole thing personaly, but given all the facts, it becames pretty clear Bush administration at the very least went out of its way to not hamper the attacks.

Rockefeller did 9/11

inside job theories fall flat on their face because their fundamental premise is that amerikkkans need some kind of psyop to support an imperialist war, instead of doing it enthusiastically without need for encouragement

I don't remember much from the movie but it made me read the comic and that was OK.

A decent diet and walking under the sun for a few minutes is all you need

I mean if you go through a trouble of setting up a profile on one, might as well copy paste it on all the others. Primary focus on IRL, but spending couple minutes a day on apps is a small time investment with small payoff, so why not.

I really don't like them, I used them for like a month then quit a while ago, it's not that I never got matches but that the girls you match with almost always ghost or unmatch you at a random point for no reason. Apparently women on these apps get flooded with likes unlike men so they're probably picking through 20 different guys for the best one at any point in time, it sucks. The one time I actually got to a real date from an app, she looked way better in the photos

>I reccomwnd RL over any app
how would one go about meeting people for LTR purposes irl?
common advice is through hobbies but what if the hobby field/the friend companies you find yourself in are heavily skewed towards one gender and/or contain mostly already taken people?

Dating apps suck if you don’t have the patience of a goddamn saint, basically. You can get results but it really takes a TON of perseverance.

Learning Spanish up to B1 level and using the language filter on Bumble allowed me to escape perpetual virginity and have a somewhat decent love-life. Can only recommend.
