Any suggestions?
I had to watch The Cove recently, which isn’t overtly “political” in nature, but it is racist, classist, anti-rural, and literally makes shit up. It’s mostly just lib rage bait.
Like, yeah, the dolphin harvest in taiji is like, not cool… but you don’t need to be a crazy racist/classist nutjob that makes up statistics and racist jokes to convince people of that… you just do that cause you’re bad people.
They keep making the claim that “20,000 dolphins are slaughtered every year” and the best info I could find to support that claim is that one year, the Japanese fisheries commission issued nearly 20,000 permits for dolphin hunting in Japanese waters but there’s no record of how many of those permits were filled. The documentary implies — but is careful to never outright say — that all of those permits are used in one dolphin slaughter in taiji. As far as I could tell… maybe 1-2k dolphins were slaughtered in taiji every year? Maybe? Iunno.
And I’m not defending the dolphin slaughter in taiji, I just know that the documentary is a bunch of white Americans that do literally zero material analysis and do all of the racism and classism.
Okay I gotta stop before I enrage myself further.
