Has anybody watched this movie, RRR, yet? I just did. It is an
anti-colonialist film that has gained international recognition.
I found the action sequences to be overexaggerated, and wish
more effort would have been put into story/character
development, which I found lackluster. Perhaps this is why
Westerners liked it so much. After all, serious anti-colonialism
would never be appreciated by them.

Regardless, I commend the director for at least trying, and
there are a few scenes that are really good IMO. I also like how
it draws on religious mythology such as the Ramayana, in
contrast to most Bollywood movies which shy away from drawing on
religious themes for inspiration.
It also seems to exalt firearm ownership and ahimsa, instead of
pacifist Eurocentrist tools like Gandhi.

HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariinsky_Ballet
[quote]The Mariinsky Ballet was founded in the 1740s, following
the formation of the first Russian dance school in 1738.
The Imperial Theatre School, as it was originally known, was
established on 4 May 1738, at the Winter Palace in Saint
Petersburg. It would become the predecessor of today's Vaganova
Academy of Russian Ballet. The school's founder director was the
French ballet master and teacher Jean-Baptiste Landé and the
purpose of creating the school was to train young dancers to
form the first Russian ballet company.
As the Imperial Russian Ballet, the company premiered numerous
ballets by choreographer Marius Petipa. A number of his ballets
now form the basis of the traditional classical ballet
repertoire, performed by ballet companies around the world, and
often retaining much of Petipa's choreography. These ballets
include the original productions of The Nutcracker, The Sleeping
Beauty, Don Quixote, La Bayadère, and Raymonda; and popular
revivals of older ballets, including Coppélia, Giselle, and Le
Corsaire.
...
The Director of the Mariinsky Ballet is Yuri Fateyev.[/quote]

Support Yen!
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/over-50-000-petition-bar-165909540.html
[quote]Over 50,000 people have signed a petition demanding the
Academy Awards Committee to withdraw its invitation to Donnie
Yen to present an Oscar due to his support for the Chinese
government.
...
They cited the “John Wick: Chapter 4” actor’s comments on the
Hong Kong pro-democracy protests of 2019, which he called a
“riot” in an interview with GQ last month.
...
The petition has amassed 52,256 signatures as of press time. One
top comment reads, “He doesn’t stand up for freedom and
democracy, which could violate the values of Oscar
prizes.”[/quote]
Yen deserves the invitation for this woke scene alone (he even
got the bullies' face shapes correct!):

"he even got the bullies' face shapes correct!"
Not only did they get the face shapes, but they even got the
clothing too.
At 0:30, you'll see the girl on the right has a pleated skirt, a
collared shirt, a visible necktie, earrings and for the hair, it
looks pretty...graphic and even has a bow. The girl on the left
has plain jeans, a basic shirt, hair that looks straight and
unembellished and no earings.
At 1:16, you'll see the same girl with the teal cardigan next to
a boy wearing a shirt with another visible collar and a sexually
dimorphic haircut (still comparable with the girl on the left).
At 2:55 (which is the thumbnail), the man doing the pinching has
a plain black outfit and hair where each strand is in harmony,
while the one being pinched has a hair where the strands are all
over the place.
At 3:18, the hair of the girl on the left is still as superior
as it was before it was cut, and just like the man's hair, the
strands of the girl's hair is simple and in uniformity. Not to
mention their tops are also simple.
Just to be sure, does hair length matter? Because even though
you mentioned how superior long hair was here:
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/issues/dress-decolonization/msg10479/#msg10479
Wouldn't you mind short hair if it coincides with everyone else,
if it's low in maintenance and if it's cut for more temporary
reasons (e.g. emulating individuals, cutting split ends without
changing its current length)?

"Not only did they get the face shapes, but they even got the
clothing too."
Sure, but I consider getting the face shapes more important, as
the bullies' inferior clothes could be attributed (as False
Leftists are prone to do) to what they learned from society,
whereas their inferior face shapes can only be attributed to
their blood. So long as society continues to delusionally think
of bullying as learned behaviour rather than simply the normal
behaviour of bully bloodlines, we will never end bullying. The
only way to end bullying is to eliminate the bloodlines that
produce bullies.
"even though you mentioned how superior long hair was here"
I did no such thing:
[quote]I hardly need to remind everyone that in pre-colonial
times, long hair (including mullets!) was the American standard
for males as well as females:[/quote]
My point is that a society which considers long hair acceptable
for males as well as for females is superior to a society which
considers long hair acceptable for females but not for males.
To be clear, a society that considers long hair acceptable for
both males and females is not superior to a society that
considers long hair unacceptable for either males or females.
High sexual dimorphism is inferior. Low sexual dimorphism is
superior. How the low sexual dimorphism is achieved is for
different societies to decide (probably based on practical
considerations such as humidity etc.).

Either pockets are a good idea, in which case they should be

should be used by no one.[/quote]

Of course not! I myself have promoted short hair in the past:

Does the same apply for hate?
"High sexual dimorphism is inferior. Low sexual dimorphism is
superior. How the low sexual dimorphism is achieved is for
different societies to decide (probably based on practical
considerations such as humidity etc.)."
Could that logic also apply for makeup? Because it seems like
the issue is not only sexual dimorphism:
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/human-evolution/re-sexual-dimorphism-preferences/msg4434/#msg4434
[quote]While I would disagree with someone who likes makeup on
both males and females, I would not consider such a person
aesthetically inferior as they at least have no gender-based
double-standard. (I would consider still them
ecologically/economically inferior, but that is a separate
discussion.)[/quote]
But looking at the NS Uniforms, uniformity seems just as
important as the simplicity of dress. Maybe even more. And even
with the western elements like collars and neckties, the
uniforms still make up with its all black/brown/feldgrau theme.
Agriculture fields are also just as superior.
Thanks for making it more clear. I apologize for asking so many
questions, but I've been reading Aryanism and True Left since
late 2010s that I have a lot of questions to ask.
