>>2932. We can get confirmations of our values from other sources, and so on. I have some suggestions for places to start. If some of my choices seem for the young or superficial, just build on it judiciously.
Film/TV:
- The Passion of the Christ (2004) (almost doesn't count as it's religious, but I feel I have to put it here)
- A Man for All Seasons (1966): Religion and law
- The Mission (1986): Martial values and exploration
- Tarkovsky films
- Kurosawa and other samurai films
- Films for life and social values: It's a Wonderful Life (1946), The Notebook (2004), Groundhog Day (1993). Because common social illnesses, like alienation and social ineptitude, can be partially cured by film. This is pretty relevant for channers.
- The Simpsons: seasons 1-12
- History and politics documentaries, I can attest to those from when The History Channel still featured history, but those past 2005, and on Youtube, might be corrupted by political correctness.
- "The Secret Rulers of the World: The Bilderberg Group": This is one of the best known documentaries on secret societies, focusing on the strongest NWO faction. Knowledge that the world has been hijacked by corrupt people, is a normal and purifiable state of affairs in cycles of history, and should not break one's faith in God, but rather, should invigorate the spirit of helping to deliver salvation for mankind.
Games:
- Persona 3/4/5: These contain a lot of worthwhile virtues and social values. Very unexpected for a summoning-themed game. I don't think I have to explain to anons here that spirits in the game aren't actually harmful. Obviously don't dabble in occult stuff.
- Ghosts of Tsushima: as has been noted across the internet, the themes of siege are relevant. This is one of the few recent games that is excellent.
Anime/Manga/Comics:
- Shonen manga has vitality, where modern SJW infested comics don't. Naruto, Demon Slayer, and Attack on Titan, are extremely popular worldwide.
- Umaru-chan: Amusing and fun for both genders
- Revisit old Western comics like Judge Dredd, Asterix, Tintin, etc.
Music:
- Bach, Beethoven: Their simpler works are good places to start. Both sometimes defiant of tradition, but ultimately compatible.
- Video game OSTs, especially Japanese VG OSTs. Where other popular music has been gutted, VG music, especially Japan's, are some of the remaining still living media, and have a lot of vitality and boundary pushing works.
Books:
- Scruton - How to Be a Conservative: This is the broadest touchstone for modern conservative conversation. This one's mostly Christian compatible.
- History books give clues on how power, virtue, and order, are transferred in civilization. Toynbee's two-volume summary is a decent overview. We can discuss shorter intros for specific topics that aren't ruined by political correctness.
- Always furnish what you gain from media, with your core values from faith and God.
