Snowflake Challenge Day 5 - Fandom Wishlist
Challenge #5: In your own space, talk about an idea you wish you had the time / talent / energy to do.
I want to start making political music videos.
A climate change/Aussie bushfires video to Midnight Oil's Beds Are Burning, targeting not only PM Scott Morrison and his Hawaiian trip at the height of the fires, but also things like the Australian newspaper and columnists' insistence that It's All The Fault Of Arsonists No Climate Change Here, and the botched-up 'rebuilding program' that has barely given any money to anyone. Two years later, a whole bunch of folks are still unable to rebuild.
A video about politicians who mouth platitudes to Roy Zimmerman's Thoughts And Prayers, which is about gun control, but boy it would do quite nicely for Australia's right-wing politicians. (But someone should really make one for gun control in the USA.)
I want to make one about the way the AU Feds have screwed up all the time that we bought them by isolating (nationally, state-wide, local area, and household) and social distancing and masking and vaccinating...only to watch our infection rates soar.
Oh and one about Scott Morrison specifically, to the tune of Razzle Dazzle from Chicago.
I don't know if it would reduce my feelings of helplessness in the political arena, but if I had a bit more time and a bit more ability to stomach watching politicans yabber on, I'd give it a try.
