Sorry for the silence last month! I’d been hoping to release my newest essay along with a major update on the series, but alas, the series is taking longer than expected to get rolling. This is mostly a logisitics issue. Rest assured the series is still on (pilot should be done next week-ish), and as we approach the release date, I will give you all a big fat post.
But this essay just will not wait any longer! I’ve been writing this one for a while, because I wanted to make sure I got it right. At this point, it’s as good as it’s going to be. Thus, I give you The Greater Dictator, my analysis of Charlie Chaplin’s ending speech in The Great Dictator. I believe this speech is a brilliant text mostly misunderstood or ignored, because people just see it as anti-fascist rhetoric. While this is of course true, there is SO MUCH MORE going on in this speech that I just had to put it all down in writing. If you haven’t seen the film, go watch it; if you’ve already seen it, watch it again so you know what I’m talking about.
Hope you like it! If you do, be sure to let me know. And if you’re interested in more of my musings, check out the Essays section of this website.
And for those who want more moving images (with sound!), I’ll have an update on the series soon. I am excited.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot
drop, just soo she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now
broken and she has 83 views. I now this is completely off topic but

Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on thee internet the simplest
thiing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitelly get irked whilpe ppeople consider worries
that they just don’t know about. You managed to hitt the nail uplon the top and also defined ouut the
whole thing without having side effect , people could
take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
