By "IMP ACTIVISM " I mean POLITICAL ACTIVISM that has an IMPish sense of humor & that, hopefully, has IMPACT. How long have I been an activist? Was I an activist when I revolted against the restraints of Kindergarten? Probably not. When I became a full-blown anti-authoritarian in Elementary School? Not until, at age 11, I refused to stand, put my hand over my heart, & recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. & this WASN'T following an example set by my parents - they were "Staunch Republicans" - I came to this on my own. When I spontaneously participated in a resistance to returning to class age 13? Pretty unformed. When I didn't attend school but, instead, stood across the street from my High School to participate in an action in solidarity w/ teachers trying to get better wages? That was mainly my going along w/ a friend. When I refused to register for the draft during the Vietnam War? Indeed. How much change has come about that I perceive as positive? Much.. But not enuf. RESISTANCE IS FERTILE.
There're 95 movies of mine listed below that I think of primarily as political movies. Some of them are 'propaganda' (or anti-propaganda), some are quasi-documentaries of protest actions, some are quasi-documentaries of political history, some are things connected to or made for alternative media such as pirate tv & a phone station, etc, etc.. "Cosmic Grunt/Betsy DeVos" is included just because it's a reading that I gave that parodied DeVos. Perhaps it doesn't belong here. "Limpolysemia" is another dubious inclusion because it was a televideoconference between impish activists rather than an act of impish acitivism itself. A similar critique might be made of the inclusion of "Old Folks at Home: Doug Retzler" but I include that because it's a pretty good overview of Doug's ecological & community works.
"The Struggle to End Death by Incarceration" is a very serious matter & its inclusion here isn't to lump it in with humor but to simply spread the word of the cause. Ultimately, that's the case with many of the things listed below.

- This was UNLISTED on my onesownthoughts YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/kNLVtxeIDyw until YouTube decided that it violated their "hate speech policy" & they removed it. They had removed "Triumph of the Will" on June 18, 2019 (which I didn't know until after I did some research after my censoring), for the same reason & since "P@rty Prop@g@nd@" incorporates some of "Triumph of the Will" that's probably the reason for the problem. Strangely, I think that both "Birth of a Nation" AND "October" could be objected to but they're both still on YouTube. That's probably because they're both 'silent' films. I appealed my censorship but as of August 16, 2019, I haven't gotten a reply yet.
