The Erica Crooks Show ( 2016 ) : Unfunny standup comedian / party venue hack ( clip )


These unfunny transphobic / homophobic standup comedians probably got their start as party venue hacks for evil Hollywood Executives / Media Capitalists.

( From The Erica Crooks Show - Season 9 ( 2016 ) )

Oscar the friendly recycle monster ?

 Could you imagine a fluffy version of Oscar the Grouch singing Taylor Swift's " Shake it Off " but it's about recycling ? Is " I Love Trash " problematic, taboo, controversial & cancel culture now ? :(

Oscar the friendly recycle monster ? I don't think so.


Someone could easily look at the current version / new video and be like " Oh how cute ! Oscar & Grover are dancing together, that means they are FRIENDS ! AWWW ! "

That's not what it was like in the original !

THIS IS Oscar & Grover in the original ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXBkJC-Zscg

So is this ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_QVPdWstIk


Oscar was beyond a GROUCH ! It's no wonder he was thrown down the stairs ! https://youtu.be/USUjEXfTqf4?t=603 


Even before " One of these things is not like the other " , Oscar's brother says " F**kin' SICK ! " https://youtu.be/xGYil8o88H4?t=569


Oscar even insulted advertisers in front of a nervous Dick Cavett.

https://youtu.be/Q65fKWU9S-U?t=684


Everything is LITERALLY reboot , changed , commodified , cancel culture , controversial & problematic.


Perhaps Oscar's trash can insults the scientific / objective minded.

It's a paranormal supernatural phenomenon vortex of some sort !

https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Oscar%27s_trash_can


Sesame Street has changed since the 1990s ( Tickle Me Elmo era ) due to competition to keep the show on the air after 20 something episodes ( it's mentioned in the book Street Gang ).


Whenever people see puppets, people IMMEDIATELY think " little kids stuff ". More so regarding people's general perception of Sesame Street. That's right it's still called Sesame Street, not ELMO'S WORLD ! 

The art of Puppetry has a tradition in satire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeBCvG1AXU8

And the original Sesame Street ( & The Muppets in general ) were VERY FUNNY & ENTERTAINING !


Anyway the whole idea of Oscar the Grouch becoming Oscar the friendly recycle monster reminds me of how Cookie Monster could be seen as " Veggie Monster ".

https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Is_Cookie_Monster_now_the_Veggie_Monster%3F?so=search



The current version just confirms everyone's stereotypical view on this show for " little kids ".

Classic Sesame Street / Old School Sesame Street was TOTALLY DIFFERENT !

There's lots of stuff that's entertaining for adults. It's comedy, rock & pop music, etc. The Muppets were known for general audiences because that's how the entertainment industry used to be.


I talk about this further in my essay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-6HwK2t3I4 

Yes, there was a philosophy of community in the mix as well ( even if it wasn't clearly specifically Anarchism / Leftism ).

The Secret ( Law of Attraction ) available to watch on YouTube for Free !


For those who might be interested, " The Secret " ( New Thought / New Age Spirituality / Law of Attraction / etc ) can be viewed for free on YouTube.  I was introduced to it 10 years ago which was definitely a spiritual awakening for me. It's the final version, not the first version which featured Abraham Hicks ( similar to Seth Speaks ). Also Bob Proctor died not long ago. The Secret was very popular 15 years ago & Oprah Winfrey even dedicated an episode of her show to it. It's common to  " take something with a grain of salt " of course like Spirituality itself, the intuition needs to feel natural instead of forced. There's many different ways of how people go about New Thought & or New Age Spirituality. So The Secret is basically an introduction to The Law of Attraction. The book / audiobook version is like a transcript version of it with only the author's extended commentary on it. Anyway since it's available and it's something I know of very well, I'd figure I'd recommend it for whoever is interested. :) #LawOfAttraction #NewThought #NewAge #NewThoughtSpirituality #NewAgeSpirituality #TheSecret #manifestation #lightworker #lightworkers #empath #empaths #spirituality

The Left philosophical spirit of Cartoon Animation vs the commodification of modern times today

The Left philosophical spirit of Cartoon Animation vs the commodification of modern times today

A blog video by Erica Crooks

( The following is an expression of political philosophical and spiritual opinion and commentary. )

#ericacrooks #infp #infps #philosophy #animation #cartooning #art #artist #entertainment #spirituality #breadtube #lefttube #anarchist #anarchism #culturalanarchist #culturalanarchism #antiauthoritarian #antiauthoritarianism #anticapitalist #anticapitalism #wisdom #popculture #comiccon #hollywood #etnertainmentindustry 
#NewDealForAnimation #politicalphilosophy #creativefreedom #artisticexpression

* Joe Biden recognizing the " grassroots worker organizers " especially #NewDeal4Animation and how it relates to the usual typical pattern of how most people in the entertainment industry / animation industry are Liberals / support The Democratic Party.

* Comparison to the political satire / political art that is Guerrilla Theatre and seen in The Disney Strike of 1941 for example.

* Has " The Left " become tolerant & or respectful of Authoritarianism and less about that Anti-Authoritarian spirit as seen within the satirical origins and the meaning of cartooning / animation and similar art forms ? 

* And what philosophical wisdom can we learn about the liberating spirit soul in which we can learn about the fictional art we know and love ?

Neurodiversity and Artistic Expression on Social Media against Censorship




 ARTISTIC / CREATIVE

EXPRESSION

FROM ARTISTS

WITH DISABILITIES ,

AUTISM SPECTRUM AND OR WHO SUFFER WITH

MENTAL ILLNESS

DOES NOT COUNT

AS VIOLATION OF

YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA /

INTERNET CAPITALIST

GUIDELINES ,

ESPECIALLY DARK SATIRISTS 

BRINGING AWARENESS 

CREATIVELY AND ARTISTICALLY !

THAT DOES NOT COUNT AS 

PROMOTING SELF-HARM / SUICIDE !


STOP SHUTTING DOWN ACCOUNTS OF 

INNOCENT VOICES !

ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE 

MARGINALIZED , VULNERABLE &

ARE IN POVERTY / LOW INCOME

PROBABLY FOR THE MOST PART

UNLIKE YOU !


YOU DON'T PROTECT ANY COMMUNITY OR PEOPLE ,

YOU PROTECT PROFITS OF THE RICH ,

AND YOU RARELY IF EVER SHUT DOWN 

HARMFUL , HATEFUL AUTHORITARIAN BULLUES !

IS IT BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO ?


THAT'S ABLEIST & CENSORSHIP !


If this very political activist meme relating to freedom of expression relating to culture and neurodiversity violates social media community guidelines & this social media account is at risk or is shut down due to violating such social media community guidelines , remember , this very political activist meme relating to freedom of expression relating to culture and neurodiversity is proving it's point !

Regarding leaving BreadTube / LeftTube

 Anarchists & Leftists want oppression to end ! We differ in strategy, praxis & perception. 


It takes strength to be confident when you are different from the world around you.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O3CwyrBpOc&list=PLJLbzpbdP5rmwYdlaXaM1tYzNadaen6FK


At the time of the 3 BreadTube appearances , I wasn't aware of what Dialectical Materialism was.


If I was aware that most people were for it, that it means Anti-ME ! ( Idealism ( my MBTI personality type is INFP ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb4FYakPAQU and Anti-Metaphysics just means that most people are Atheists and are against New Thought / New Age Spirituality which I'm for as a Spiritual Anarchist.


, and If I was aware of Old Left vs New Left , 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Left

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Left

https://www.anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionA.html#seca36


And how New Left / Cultural Anarchists from the past were saying resinating things that sounded very similar to the situation I was in , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqTQEaYzB7M , 

Perhaps those BreadTube appearances wouldn't have happened at all and I won't have been seen on BreadTube / LeftTube in the first place.


This is why I HATE POLITICS !

I much prefer a philosophical perspective on Anarchism instead.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2oHcb1LjM4


Personality Types and Traits do exist !

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2KRLhFPIvU


And so does Personality Clash !

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vam6Ht4jN0A


Conflict doesn't need to happen to notice how certain traits / personality types aren't going to get along.


An Anarchist FAQ states the following.

"Hierarchical, authoritarian institutions tend to be self-perpetuating, because growing up under their influence creates submissive/authoritarian personalities. "


Also, not all Anarchists are for Authoritarian Left. https://www.anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionH.html


To me, Authoritarianism doesn't mean Left. It means ABUSE !

I've been a victim of ableist hate crime my entire life !

Most by White CisHet Men with Toxic Masculinity problems and a lack of Emotional Intelligence.

Anti-Fascist action to me means END THE TERRORISM !

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq7RBYzYoHk


Life is easier for the White CisHet Man who's more objective minded and has a right leaning political background.


Not so much for someone who has all odds against her, been a victim of hate crime and still am, and everything I do comes out of my pocket of what little I have to survive on.


Leaving BreadTube / LeftTube doesn't mean quitting the good that I do.

I just feel unwanted. 


The support of people who like what I do is always appreciated, thank you. :) _ Erica

Idealism : The New Left Cultural Anarchism


A Tribute to Abbie Hoffman , Jerry Rubin , The 55th Anniversary of The Youth International Party , John Lennon , Peter Coyote & The Diggers and all the Anarchists & Leftists of the 1960s Counterculture era. A piece of history that is often misunderstood as " not a serious part of history ". ( The following is for educational, research, historic & commentary purposes. ) In the 1960s, there was a split of the Anarchist & Leftist movements. The Old Left & The New Left. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Left https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Left https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/New_Left Then eventually there was Cultural Anarchism within The New Left as well as the Counterculture at the time . https://www.anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionA.html#seca36 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterculture_of_the_1960s The Diggers used Mutual Aid, Dual Power, Libertarian Alternatives & Culture to bring about mini “ Free Societies “ in the here and now which inspired The Yippies. When it comes to The Youth International Party ( aka The Yippies ( * Abbie Hoffman & Jerry Rubin * ) not only were they able to radicalize John Lennon but perhaps The New Left itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youth_International_Party They were not afraid to be different & non-conform from “ The Old Left “ tradition and be rejected by MOST Anarchists & Leftists. They are great examples of “ Cultural Anarchism “ which they have used terms such as “ Cultural Revolutionaries , Revolutionary Artists , & even Groucho Marxists “. In an age of not only skepticism, cynicism, and killjoy seriousness in politics, there has been hateful & fearful panicking negative attitudes towards things from New Age Spirituality itself as well as “ IDEALISM “ to the point where it’s being called out as THE ENEMY OF THE ANARCHIST & LEFTIST MOVEMENT AND COULD START CULTURE WAR / CIVIL WAR / COLLAPSE OF THE MOVEMENT & CAUSE / etc. Such controversy was been going on in their time as well. It was the very thing such Idealist New Left Cultural Anarchists were challenging. Are they the true enemy ? Or is the root cause “ AUTHORITARIANISM “ ? Abbie Hoffman was a unique individual. The Youth International Party ( The Yippies ) welcomed those who differed from “ THE NORM “ to come join them. And as someone who’s a marginalized minority and someone who feels different from the world around me , I STRONGLY resonate with that as an INFP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb4FYakPAQU Such Counterculture 1960s era examples such as this showed community, a friendship family of like minded social outcasts. 5 years being an Anarchist, a few years being accepted into the BreadTube community ( even though I’m grateful ) , something tells me intuitively in my heart and my soul that the 1960s did things BETTER than The Anarchist & Leftist Movement today. I see humans , but where’s the humanity ? Regardless of what anyone things , I for one find it very inspirational. Perhaps it’s too “ IDEALIST “ for some. Perhaps it’s because I’m an INFP , a minority personality type. “ We are minorities , people like us always were. “ _ John Lennon ( Rolling Stone interview 1971 ) Abbie Hoffman took his life in 1989 at the age of 52 in the end. Alienated by the world he always always rebellious against with his nonconformist free spiritness ! Many seen him as clown but he was IN FACT a professional Clinical Psychologist. Only if he knew that he was not alone and HE WAS RIGHT ! Happy 55th Anniversary of The Youth International Party ! YIPPIE !
