I mean, these weren't culture wars because they were rather one-sided. And now we have TWO sides who are equally obnoxious, people even fear of a new civil war. That's how it used to be: do a little civil war and it's over. Now all the battles are done online instead of shooting each other in the face with a rifle.

>Nostalgia is the spark of reactionaryism.
Nostalgia is more complex than that. I think nostalgia is a cry for help from people who are confused by the material causes of the cultural decay. The cultural decay not in a sense that "RAHHHH, GAY PEOPLE HAVE RIGHTS NOW!!!!!" but rather in a sense that the constant expansion of capital ruins creativity and leads to rushed products manufactured specifically to make the biggest amount of money from the largest amount of people. It's close to Cory Doctorow's concept of chokepoint capitalism but some may view it as the late-stage capitalism's corruption of the entertainment industry. Regardless of what you call it, this phenomena is very much real but people refer to it as "nostalgia" because they're confused by the material reality they find themselves in and falsely assume that their childhood is somehow a special one-of-a-kind period instead of being an early stage of commercialization of entertainment where the entertainment businesses haven't yet become too big to fail. As I've already mentioned in my Western pop culture thread ( >>>/ent/9259 ) mainstream music got fucked the earliest, with other industries meeting their downfall later either because they were too young or too expensive. You can pop out hundreds of boy bands without much effort but blockbuster movies used to be a fucking event… before Disney and WB decided to pump out dozens of MCU and DCU movies and streaming shows every year.

Nyah, actually, the previous interconnected universe was named DCEU (DC Extended Universe AKA Snyderverse) and the new universe is the one named DCU which will officially start with Gunn's Superman, which hasn't come out yet, so that's technically wrong, nyah.

Perhaps. But also, I think the masses incentive the corporate overlords.

Anytime when anything completely new comes out, the masses shut it down as newfangled non sense

People would rather rely on stuff that has been a staple of their childhood, even if it means being rehashed.

Also, people are just addicted to indignation.

Cultural decay is relative and cyclical..

Again, you say the 2000s was the golden age?
I remember growing up in the 2000s. Adults said things were better before 1996.

In the 1990s, adults said things were better in the 1970s and early 80s.

I like how people complain about boy bands but they're ok with "indie" music (which is recycled punk/hip-hop).

Also, boy bands aren't really that easy to make. Choreography, vocal training, dress style. Etc.

You may as well dismiss Motown as some boy/girl band crap factory.

There are more indie groups making crap music nowadays than boy bands making crap music.

Yes and no. Consoomers certainly bear part of the blame for the current state of the mainstream pop culture but they are influenced by the bourgeoisie as much as they influence them. It's dialectical. So it's more of a systemic issue caused by capitalism rather than something that's entirely the fault of individual proles. I'm an individualist but I recognize that our understanding of the world is clouded by spooks which allow us to act like one unit to begin with, it's a kind of brain programming where you're wired to do certain things because you are convinced that it's a desirable behavior, the people are just very confused and misled.
>People would rather rely on stuff that has been a staple of their childhood, even if it means being rehashed.
That's why I'm saying that nostalgia is just confusion. Things from one's childhood are not good because of their ingredients but because they were made in a time when the industry was small and young enough to prioritize quality and allow more creative freedom. Just mimicking ingredients won't recreate the passion people had behind your beloved franchises but people want to believe otherwise because they're desperate. It's kinda like that King Neptune vs SpongeBob meme.

Nah, hipsters are just normies who think they're special.

You're confusing the difficulty of execution with the difficulty of conceptualization. Even the workers in AAA gamedev and TV cartoons work hard. But the creators of Clair Obscur are ex-Ubisoft employees and many artists who went on to create well-recieved cartoons started from something like the Powerpuff Girls 2016 reboot so the employees themselves can be very, vPost too long.

Conservatards be like: "Muh gays!! Muh gays!!" Yet the furry community is verifiably freakier than the queer community. Gay people get all the shit for just kissing in public while furfags walk around in fursuits, have orgies in them and are the kinkiest and the most porn-addicted people online by far. Like, how do (non-woke) queer people even come close to this?

I'm not saying we should bully furfags (especially for their sexual preferences if they enjoy them in private) but furfags clearly deserve more mockery than queers.

In conclusion: homophobes are stupid and furfags are cringe. The end.

Furfags are cringe but I think those furfags who unironically want to bang animals are a minority within the furry fandom since humanoid animals still have human bodies, the furry fandom just lacks self-awareness. To me this Twitter user is the same kind of a Twitter progressive who defends "MAPs," they just happen to infiltrate the furry community also.

>Marxism doesn't label people enemies because of simple disagreement. It analyzes which class interests are being served by ideas and institutions

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

If that's true, how come so many leftists decry anything as "bourgeois" just because said folk are in better prospects than them?
Leftists preach about zero-judgement and full-acceptance but they all reek of tall poppy syndrome.

>The working class, including those with backward ideas, can be won to revolutionary politics because of their position in production.


Once again with the godawful paternalistic complex.

>Liberal neutrality is not neutral, it defends existing relations of exploitation.

Most workers may not be consciously anti-capitalist, but their material interests clash with capital. They can be convinced. The petty-bourgeois intelligentsia often defend the status quo to maintain their position above labor.

Ok that's a fair assessment. But then, the same could be said about communism and fascism.

Not really. Again, some leftists do have it (MLs especially) but it's more like a Machiavellian pandering to the proles' class interests. Marxism is class interests + classical economics basically, it claims that the workers cannot fully satisfy their class interests under a capitalist system because they conflict with the class interests of the bourgeoisie based on classical economics (Marx thought that the economists after Smith and Ricardo are phonies, and most Marxists nowadays side with Smith, Ricardo and Keynes most often). I don't think this simple observation is in any way a paternalistic complex. A savior complex? Maybe. But not a paternalistic one.
>But then, the same could be said about communism and fascism.
I see. There is a misunderstanding. I assume you're either a right-winger or a centrist who doesn't understand the lingo we're using. We use the word "communism" to either refer to a communist society or dozens and dozens of ideologies that want to achieve it which adherents all hate each other and call each other names. What you're most likely referring to is Marxism-Leninism, in which case anarcho-communists would agree with you. But you see, anarcho-communists don't want that to happen.

What is your point? Academics and other professional layers live off the rents of the bourgeoisie get from surplus. Their function is to maintain and reproduce current class relations.
>proles can have false consciousness
Yes, proletarians can have false consciousness. That’s why Marxists engage in political education and agitation—to raise class consciousness and organize independent of the bourgeoisie.
>Engels was a bourgeois
What matters is not birth, but one’s political alignment, material interests, and role in the class struggle. His writings, actions, and funding of the workers’ movement prove that.

Idea for a bit: flood social media with ads that are very similar to real ads for Walmart.

The point wouldn't even be to make mockery of these companies or even to put leftist messaging in the ad.

Do you know how much damage control they would have to do if an ads were circulating that ended with something like:

>The new nintendo switch 2 is $399 for a limited time


It's regularly an absurd 500$ with the Mario Kart bundle

They will also hate it (and this strictly speaking a different idea than above) if you change a corporate brand image even slightly (even if it's positive). Brands are super important to a company and if we fuck with that they will go ballistic and we can get some serious lulz out of it.

For most of my life i haven't ever really had any friends who i could trust, one or two acquaintances came and went but I've never had anyone who i felt I could have a real connection with. I've gone through all of secondary school and college (idk what that would be for Americans sorry) without ever really having a real conversation with anyone. How do people socialise and where, is everything just online now or are people who didn't make long-term friendships in school fuarrrked in general when it comes to forming irl connections.

So first of all, you're not meeting enough people and you're not socializing enough. Socializing IS a skill. Especially for us terminally online turbo autists, we aren't socially developed enough to have conversations with normies.

Fortunately you can learn this just by doing it more. Hell you might even be able to make them laugh. But you literally have to put yourself into social situations.

Do you live in the sticks? You're going to have to make it a point to go somewhere with people a couple of times a week.

I mean you could just go drinking at some local bar a couple of times and you'll probably recognize people, introduce yourself and talk about anything.

You can also go to local live shows, meet some bands, try to make friends there, especially if you like music.

But it's more interesting if you have an actual thing you like doing. I mean whatever you're into chances are there are people that meet up to do those things. If you aren't an active person maybe you need to find an outdoor activity that you actually enjoy doing (hiking, swimming, rock climbing, skateboarding, cycling) and then go meet people that also do that.

Also not everyone will like you, but even if they don't love you, make it a point to tell people that you're looking for friends, and that they should introduce you to people if they can. You'll have to network a bit before finding people you like. And once you like them jump on that: get their info, make a plan for next time, give them a compliment, and be genuine around them.

One more tip: if you are very shy and have social anxiety it helps being somewhere downtown with enough people so that they will forget you exist as soon as you leave. You can literally bother strangers, if it goes sour you can just leave. But at least you can practice.

You know, I'm not a Zionist or a Jewish supremacist or a Kahanist or any other such individual of that leaning, but it's very difficult to look at the behavior of gentiles over the past year+ and believe that the average gentile is a human being with a soul. Not Arabs, not Europeans, not Indians, not Christians, not Muslims, not Hindus, not Buddhists, not atheists, not anyone.

Not the stupid, obnoxious evangelical piglets feverishly demanding more children's blood because their disgusting, extra-fake version of Christianity has supplanted the teachings of Jesus with an idiotic fetishization of Jewish people and a manufactured ahistorical Zionist dogma. Not the crowing Catholics who offer words of condemnation but do nothing whatsoever materially to stop the wanton slaughter of their fellow man, not even in the cynical interest of evangelizing to expand the declining religious ranks of the followers of papacy. Not the vast majority of Muslims, who have done little, and certainly not most Muslim leaders, who have done far worse than nothing.

Not most of the western socialists, the majority of whom who have done little more than be right, and whose efforts to organize have not met the urgency of the moment. Not the "centrists," who by this point have largely held the "right opinions" for over a year, but have not taken adequate action nor moved adequately to replace the "centrist" leaders who consistently defy popular will in order to support genocide limitlessly. I could go through just about every strata of gentile politics, religion, spirituality, ethnicity, etc. and the vast majority would be the same.

Only the vile, ugly, repulsive ideology of the Zionists is reflected in the deeds undertaken by its adherents. Only the Kahanists, the Jewish supremacists, the Israeli fascists, the genocidal imperialists act upon their own will and act to realize their goals. An "anti-Zionist" who sits around watching anime, playing video games, engaging in ideological wank sessions about the "right" beliefs, and tweeting "fuck Israel" is barely a human being. Even a gentile Zionist like Keir Starmer, a contemptible worm, at least puts in the effort to be an evil fucking piece of shit. And how about Ben-Gvir?

Well, Itamar Ben-Gvir might be fat. He might be stupid. He might not be talented, or clever, or have any real redeeming features, but at least he knows what fucking side he's on. He knows what he has to do to be Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
