Gone With The Wind
Too late, Scarlett finally sees who truly loves her.
Scarlett had a true love, Rhett. Yet she yearned for Ashley.
A marriage of convenience. War. Two dead husbands. Her parents...dead, her home in shambles.
She marries Rhett, yet pines for Ashley. Their children, dead.
Too late, desperate; to Rhett she turns.
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn"!

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Angry People Click More: The Economics of Manufactured Dissent
(Ideas from the book The Economic Policy of Online Media: Manufacture of Dissent, Routledge, 2024) Abstract This article examines the formula ‘angry people click more’ as a core logic of contemporary online media and as a structural transformation of propaganda in the digital age. It argues that the defining feature of the current attention economy is not only the circulation of misinformation, but the systematic deployment of openly implausible claims designed to provoke moral outrage and sustain profitable engagement cycles. The analysis links Oxford’s 2025 Word of the Year ‘rage bait’ to earlier lexical markers of epistemic crisis such as ‘truthiness’ and ‘post-truth’, and situates this trajectory against the older ‘manufacture of consent’ model of Herman and Chomsky. While classical propaganda in totalitarian and mass-media systems sought ideological unity through censorship and the Big Lie, the emerging Propaganda 2.0 model, articulated by Peter Ayolov, monetises anger by manufacturing dissent and deliberately populating the public sphere with absurd, polarising narratives. The article interprets this dynamic through the allegories of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ and Václav Havel’s greengrocer, showing how the move from fearful silence to permanent online rage changes both the psychology and political economy of propaganda. Drawing on Evgeny Morozov’s critique of fake-news moral panics, Frances Haugen’s disclosures about Facebook, and the documentary The Social Dilemma, it concludes that anger has become a tradable asset and that blatant lying has shifted from an authoritarian instrument of control to a market mechanism in a global ‘free trade in slogans’.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Well done! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
What an iconic line and movie. Great review!
I still haven't seen this but “Gilmore Girls” always talked about it and now I need to see it
I like the fact that so many people are dead, lol! I've not read this but you wrote an excellent review!
I know this is supposed to be a classic but I cannot lie I always found it boring 😂
Super Superb Synopses!!! Love it!!!❤️❤️💕
That certainly sums it 💓👌
So basically all are dead! She was a bit catty wasn’t she ! It’s still a great film though. I have not watched in a while. Never read the book. Think they made a mini series sequel in the 90s but I might be thinking of something else!….. entitled “Scarlett” I think… not sure if it was any good.
Lovely. "I'll think about it tomorrow."
