November 2023 Update

The last few months have been really slow progress for several projects, but I think it’s all been a lot of necessary difficulty.

The self-help doc I am working on has been really hard to gather the motivation to do after Marx For Sale. That doc has made me have to question everything I do again because as much as it’s scrutinizing Breadtube, the “Post-Left,” the Infrankle Cinematic Universe, and pretend know-it-all shitheads like Paul Moron, I am also holding myself to that same scrutiny.

Self-help is also a subject that I hold near and dear, too. I have always had a problem with the industry, but not because I think self-improvement is just outwardly bad. I it is good to want to be better and more capable. Sadly, the problem people have been trained to have with self-help is more or less the same problem people have been trained to have with sincerity and just saying what one means: It can’t be real!

The problem with self-help is not that, or I wouldn’t be doing anything about it.

I’ve been doing some other projects, and they have been helping me kind of “refill.” Which is good. It’s sometimes very difficult to want to push myself to do something, but it is in part due to the fact I put my full ass into this shit. I don’t play. That means I am very deep into these topics not just on an intellectual level but an emotional one. I didn’t used to realize that, but there’s always been a sadness about the completion of a documentary or project.

It’s been in the last year I’ve really begun to understand what that is. And part of why, actually, is a form of self-improvement (a support group). And that is, I think, why I am needing to both critique as well as sing the praise of, why I am returning to this topic.

I have a plain ol’ YouTube video coming out in the next couple of days. I may write a companion article here because the video is just off the top of my head and can’t be edited in the same way text can.

I’m always excited for whatever is next and grateful for the support of kind people like yourself. -P
