we know he's responsible of three civilians' deaths. however, i do find it rather amusing authorities are placing him responsible for running over his own brother while driving the car. i actually laughed when that was on the news. AS IF that's how the incident evolved. it's not like anyone would have blamed the police/fbi had they spoken the utter truth

He wasn't at MIT but still he was apparently a smart, social kid and a great athlete with a great future if he wanted it. His brother (allegedly) was the violent and radical one and I think he was a victim of extreme hero worship. You can do some crazy things when trying to impress someone you admire

Just misguided and in need of leadership
so, you agree - ppl are kind of zombies and become fools sometimes.
People can become disillusioned and turn to the wrong person/party for guidance. It's happening to Greece right now where the far right is the third most popular party because of poverty and crime. But that's real life and takes very specific economic and political circumstances, not pop culture and Gaga covering one eye.


Jesus Christ, are you really that naive?
The matter of my concerns with all the posts here was is it just the MAN, or you could blame SOCIETY also, I chose the exquisitely worse ever type of society to prove a point, which shows how best people in one nation throw themselves to the wrong ideas. Just to prove that being idealistic about your own world is ... idealistic.

On the completely other isuue:
Wasn't cinema THE pop-culture of 1930-1940s. Media, pop-culture was / is the main stream of ideas into the public's minds. Hope here you can agree... some ideas can be about world domination, some - can be about raising roses in the back garden. they influence through culture.







Just to be clear: that post was not about Gaga. seriously. I predict you made me the hater again instead of everything.

You are claiming that a shadowy organization is using pop culture to influence the world and achieve world domination. That's nuts.

How come? Ah, yes, world domination (I was actually about Hitler). You kinda misread me this time. I see, but there were nothing about THAT on my mind. Though pleased you remember my "deepest cravings" :) Well, that could be interesting, but the life seems way more prosaic.
and in this prosaic life media and pop-culture still has the biggest power.

How? How does media have the BIGGEST POWER over an individual that has more than two brain cells to rub together? Are you serious with this? Hitler had propaganda videos and so does the republican party. And?

And here in a nutshell is why they turned out the way they did. What hope did they have with a mother like this?

Incidentally, if reports are true and he actually ran over his elder brother, I wonder if they'll also charge him with his own brother's death. :chuckle:
Hit and run.

Comparing Leni Riefenstahl's Nazi propaganda films to current media and pop culture is pretty over the top. Perhaps if Chris Nolan starts making out-and-out propaganda 'documentaries' for the House of Saud we could start getting even close to a comparison but it still wouldn't be accurate. Riefenstahl wasn't subliminally influencing people through media in the background she was out there on the front line proselytising for a current major political force.

On the other hand Hitler also loved Wagner so maybe it's all Dickie's fault in the end..

To clarify I know that she made film previous to her propaganda films that were or can be read retrospectively as Nazi propaganda - but only in the same way that we can debate The Fountainhead or Nietzsche. That is a more relevant comparison to current media and pop culture (though pop is a push) but that is *exactly* the kind of art that I believe doesn't influence people directly because it depends on their own personal interpretation of it. For example, personally I find The Fountainhead incredibly motivating and reads to me about personal freedom and bravery (Born This Way, Baby!) but that's probably because I'm not a crypto-fascist.

Pop culture has nothing to do with any of this. The end.

Thats what many muslims say about radicals. Islam is too, you know, depends on interpretation... As any culture, whether its current pop, or smth older, like religion - it's always about personal perception.
