Thought Maybe is a 100% not-for-profit film library to inform, inspire and provoke radical real-world social and political change.
https://thoughtmaybe.comThought Maybe is a 100% independent, autonomous, not-for-profit, self-directed project that exists to inspire action on a whole bunch of issues surrounding modern society, industrial civilization, globalized dominant culture.
Here’s the break-down:
Independent »
Self-funded »
Autonomous »
This website does not use nor support corporate “communication networks” such as YouTube, Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc. We think its important to maintain an independent platform for publishing—insofar as it’s possible to do on the Internet of corporate-controlled gateways or ISPs.
We run this project using Open Source Software and embrace the notion of Creative Commons, and supportive sharing.
About
About Us? This is really about you…
Why are you here? What are you looking for? Information on the implications of globalization? How banking really works? The insatiable machinations of advertising and how this affects children, media and hence social control? How about the links between Indigenous rights, racism and the police? Or how technology affects the natural environment? How does overpopulation, the myth of perpetual economic growth on a finite planet, and energy collapse fit together? How does the industrial food system work? What are the links between mass extinction of species, climate change, the toxification of the total environment, with corrupt governments, avaricious politicking, and the ever-expanding corporatocracy in this age of screens, propaganda bubbles and an unparalleled global surveillance state of scientific precision never before possible? And what to do about all this?
This website is an online library of films that aims to provoke your thoughts not only about these important issues, but many other pertinent topics relevant to challenging the fundamental ideas of modern society, industrial civilization and globalized dominant culture.
There’s already a lot of information across the Internet about these issues, but this project seeks cut through the noise and garbage, to present a library of work that is valuable and important, in a way that is contextualized, accessible, useful, and hopefully more easily digested for exploring and understanding.
This is still a massive undertaking though, and we can understand that—especially considering the interconnectedness and complexity of all these issues, as well as the crossing over of perspectives, and the way so-called “new media” can portray these same old problems, but also for the fact that we know that some information here can be incomplete, sometimes contradictory or even controversial. But this is the point. It’s all part of what we’re trying to do: provoke critical thinking, questioning, and…doing.
We’ve fundamentally built this library resource to share, inform and inspire action—and no, we’re not talking about clicking the stupid ‘Like’ button on Facebook, signing online petitions, e-mail writing, or twitting with political figureheads on Twitter as part of the Public Relations machine — we mean informing and inspiring real-world actions that are effective, in the real world; with real-world tangibility, real-world consequences and real-world changes; to take this knowledge away from the computer, away from the screen, to rejuvenate strong networks with people around you in the real physical world; to discuss, plan, act.
This is not a clicktivism website and nor is it a simple collection of popular content, like the other websites available. It’s a 100% not-for-profit library to inform, inspire and provoke radical real-world social and political change, and to help generate a multitude of responses and reactions towards those ends.
We do this because we think that provoking and informing action of a multitude of responses is just some of what is needed to break paradigms, subservience, acquiescence; to cultivate strong communities of resistance, strengthen relationships, and to nourish the inspiration across all to continue to work on the plethora of issues facing us, together.
We live in a time where all these issues are global and have long ago reached critical points, but the good news is that with everything being so messed up — everywhere you look, there’s good work to be done. And we hope that this library will help you go about doing that good work… Because we need it all.
Welcome to the introduction.
