Idea: Make demos for promoting liberal values

category: general [glöplog]
I think the invitation to Breakpoint this year was highly political and so was the whole theme of the party which led to a lot of interesting discussions in Bingen with several sceners - never had that before at a party and I really liked it! That said, I think political demoscene demos are not bad/useless by definition but they always risk to appear very cheesy.

they have the same cheesyness potential as demos about love, death, space, or anything else.

including polar bears and dolphins!

That's true. Cheesyness potential is not something that should keep you from trying it. But most people can probably say more qualified things about love than about politics. Conclusion: Do sufficient research before you preach (- about anything).

Go make a demo about Megapolisomancy and the hidden energies of Paramental entities, promoting illegal telepathy.

IMHO a demo with a good emotional atmosphere is Heaven Seven.

If it were only political...

Adok, since Ancient Greece democracy and peace never has been a friends, because they exclude one another.
Or don't you mean "demos" as a "demoscene release" in the word "democracy"?.. :) Otherwise you trying to marry "kratos of demons" with "peace".

Manwe: But isn't it a fact that countries with democratic governments (not only democratically elected ones) don't wage war against each other?

i am not Adok Hitler,
my consciousness does not grow on trees,
although i know it clearly doesn't matter,
i do prefer lousy pieces of poetry. . .

adok, better try to get your values across using something like this:

i guess 200000 people at your command work better than a demo.

that's a whole lot of pixels right there

I agree, you can command them like pixels. Just get a wicked sound system and put your demo party up in a huge number of helicopters. It'd be silly not to do it.
