We're Not Moving

We're Not Moving
Thu, 4/12/2012

The U.S. government is a passionate supporter of dissent and political activism in the name of a more just society - just not here.

In "I'm Not Moving," a seven-minute short assembled during Occupy Wall Street's infancy, filmmaker Corey Ogilvie explores this hypocrisy by juxtaposing the police brutality that routinely accompanies #OWS marches with the sympathetic words of American politicians like President Obama and Hilary Clinton as they describe protesters in Egypt and Syria being met with police violence and tear gas. Though Americans protests have claimed no casualties, what emerges is a shameful portrait of a powerful government using its police state to crush political dissent, making it blatantly obvious just how free we aren't in this country when we carry a message that threatens the status quo.

Based on details that have emerged about Trump’s presidential agenda, the far-right Heritage Foundation plans for the next GOP president to have all the tools necessary to demolish multicultural democracy and establish a white, Christian ethnostate that imposes a gender apartheid not unlike the Taliban’s Afghanistan.

Donald Trump, Hitler

Like Hitler, Trump has a unique command of propaganda, a captivating public presence, and he knows how to drive home narratives beneficial to him and harmful to his enemies.

Trump’s brand of hyper-nationalism combined with the intense consolidation of executive power follows the same playbook as fascistic leaders in other countries like India,Russia, Hungary, Turkey, Egypt, Italy and Argentina, among others.
