The Matrix is just baby's first PoMo, you wouldn't get it unless you watch the whole trilogy. But then the Wachowskis backpedalled and said it was about transitioning (even though they told how much they love Baudrillard and were inspired by his works).

>The Matrix is just baby's first PoMo, you wouldn't get it unless you watch the whole trilogy.
The first one literally ends with an RATM song.
>But then the Wachowskis backpedalled and said it was about transitioning (even though they told how much they love Baudrillard and were inspired by his works).
A couple thoughts on this which should be considered by everyone on the internet who brings this up:
Firstly, two things can be true. It's possible for a critique of capitalism to also have some sort of personal mental health metaphorical subtext. These aren't necessarily contradictory statements.
Secondly, the anti-capitalist message is so obvious that this later trivia is in "who cares?" territory. I didn't have to be a well-read Marxist or be familiar with Baudrillard to pick up on the anti-capitalist message in the first movie. Like if John Carpenter came out tomorrow and said "actually, They Live! was a metaphor for my experience as a synth player" nobody would give a shit, they definitely wouldn't be quoting it years later on the internet as though that statement somehow changed the movie for anyone who had actually seen the movie.

>>157395
I dunno, the anti-capitalist and Baudrillardian interpretations kinda conflict with one another because the anti-capitalist interpretation claims that Zion IS the escape from the Matrix while the Baudrillardian interpretation claims that Zion is itself an illusion. Sure, if you've only watched the first movie the first interpretation makes perfect sense. But the context of the second and third movies (which I assume many people haven't even watched because they were "bad") puts that assumption into doubt.

>>158317 (me)
UNLESS the actual message of the movies is Baudrillardian anti-capitalism. As in revolutionary politics are themselves a part of the Spectacle (which is proven by modern-day radlibs). Which… surprisingly makes sense. But it's not the same as the common more blatant and naive anti-capitalist interpretation of the trilogy.

>Tate was completely correct to make the analogy that we are in the matrix, if you watch the matrix as if it was meant to be a criticism of capitalism and ruling class ideology it makes complete sense (to me).

Everyone uses the Matrix analogy for their morality lessons.
Also Andrew Tate isn't anti capitalist.
IDK where you get that from.

Most people use the Matrix analogy to criticize libleft policies.

>He could have been a misogynistic dumbass on the internet, idk enough about that, but I don't believe he actually hurt any women IRL. He got his presence wiped off the internet and arrested precisely because he had a large male following and was giving them a baby critique of the current system. And even as infantile as his analysis was it, this couldn't be tolerated by the bourgeois.

>I'm not even saying he's a leftist. But so called leftists that label him as a misogynist and say it's a good thing he got cancelled don't understand what happened and don't understand what the real danger is. Leftists could have piggy backed off his popularity to educate young men about Marxism. Instead they support squashing any growing criticism of what actually exists.

Andrew Tate is as capitalistic as they come.
Also you saying "he never hurt any women irl" is total copium.

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.

>You can pop out hundreds of boy bands without much effort

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.

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

>I like how people complain about boy bands but they're ok with "indie" music (which is recycled punk/hip-hop).
Nah, hipsters are just normies who think they're special.
>Also, boy bands aren't really that easy to make. Choreography, vocal training, dress style. Etc.
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.

>Just as there are more bad indie bands there are also good indie bands while mainstream music is in a consistant decline, rare gems like Kendrick Lamar notwithstanding. I wouldn't say mainstream music is terrible either. Most of the time it's just kinda… meh. It's inoffensive and rather boring. But I like some K-pop artists like NewJeans, tho the K-pop industry is still an abomination for the sole fact of how fucked up their worker treatment is, this would give people working for Amnesty International a heart attack.

This obsession with wanting be edgy and offensive is why mainstream music is in decline.
If you cannot enjoy music without it being edgy and think mainstream music is declining because it's not edgy enough, the problem is you.

>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.

Civil wars are rarely cute little skirmishes.
Even if they were, they often happen back-to-back.

Also, people have always been angry about media

women are people too.

Women should be tamed and It is wrong to deal with them like human and Let s say that it can be multiplied without women It would be a war and extinction of all women

I wonder how people here can call themselves Marxists if they base their views on "vibes" and moralistic reactionary dogmas. No materialism, no science, just bourgeois ideology and false consciousness all the way through.

Another night all alone, night on my own
but what's another night doped up coped up with how you left and i left you and what ensued. i guess it was never ment to be but now i see you in the back of my memories. Dearly,

I know you think of me too because when you love like we do it's something that consumes you. Something that abuses you. It's like i've been tying a noose…This ship is sinkin' I'm sorry for the things that happened i just wish we could find a way to get back to you and me kicking it again…smoking weed in your room…. Your porciline skin glistening in the sunlit basement of your home. That home that i wanted to be our home but i guess it will only be that in my dreams and in my memories that i shape shift to be part of what was never ment to be. I wish you could have just seen. I wish things didn't have to end how they did and fuck it i wont lie and say shit happens for a reason. Cause when you've been where i've been. The reasons quit making sense. Like you leaving, steaming mad. I wont lie, of course i was sad. But to be a man means i can't admit to feelings that i had….I give all this u just feel your touch…again. Oh my dearest friend…..

>Leave homophobia to Russia
Lol. Lmao, even. They don't even imagine the sheer reversal of queer acceptance in ru$$ia and the rest of the europe up to $$talinism now do they?
Btw the trans-atlantic imperial block only "accepted" fags straight from the electrocution torture beds when (late 60s-early 70s) the capital itself demanded a full scale outsorce of manufacturing to asia which also demanded the reduction of the local population so that any future unemployment chimpouts could be curtailed in a more efficient way. And even then, as it is seen right now, when the capital development again demanded more local wageslave factory cattle the same capitalists immediately drop the rainbow retards from grace and start persecuting them for betraying das Volk und its civilisation in the face of chink-ruzzian-uranian threat. In some cases the double reversal was done by the same managers, just as a joke on the part of history.
Oh, and the post-soviet ruZZia was actually doing some soft internal work on accepting godless assfuckers as full members of the newly european society (see the tAtU eurovision case or even the ruling party's leaflets given to parents which began explaining their kids' homosexuality as, a matter of fact, some completely normal thing!) until issues with their imperialist buddies from EU and NATO clearly proved that they would not be included into the most respectable imperial block the world has ever known.

Either fags take these facts into consideration and apply them to the history of revolutionary bolshevik government under which there was full acceptance of queerness even in the ranks of the Rad Army up to the inevitable $$talinist reaction in the conditions of the complete failure of the communist revolution and the subsequent need to develop capital in its own nation or they will get slaughtered like the fucking retards they are by and for the benefit of the same forces which were burning them at stakes and experimenting on them in free and democratic psyche wards.

PsyArXiv Preprints | Clarifying the Structure and Nature of Left-Wing Authoritarianism

Abstract
Authoritarianism has been the subject of scientific inquiry for nearly a century, yet the vast majority of authoritarianism research has focused on right-wing authoritarianism. In the present studies, we investigate the nature, structure, and nomological network of left-wing authoritarianism (LWA), a construct famously known as “the Loch Ness Monster” of political psychology. We iteratively construct a measure and data-driven conceptualization of LWA across six samples (N = 7,258) and conduct quantitative tests of LWA’s relations with over 60 authoritarianism-related variables. We find that LWA, right-wing authoritarianism, and social dominance orientation reflect a shared constellation of personality traits, cognitive features, beliefs, and motivational values that might be considered the “heart” of authoritarianism. Still, relative to right-wing authoritarians, left-wing authoritarians were lower in dogmatism and cognitive rigidity, higher in negative emotionality, and expressed stronger support for a political system with substantial centralized state control. Our results also indicate that LWA powerfully predicts behavioral aggression and is strongly correlated with participation in political violence. We conclude that a movement away from exclusively right-wing conceptualizations of authoritarianism may be required to illuminate authoritarianism’s central features, conceptual breadth, and psychological appeal.

This misunderstands the meaning of leftism.
What is missed in the critique of what we now call "woke" is that it emerges precisely out of the failure of the New Left, not its excess - rather, its perceived excess serves to conceal a lack.
Take the Civil Rights Movement for example. It was no coincidence that both Martin Luther King and Malcom X were assassinated soon after they began to converge towards class politics. What they slowly came to recognize was the historical-material base that was responsible for simultaneously maintaining and dismantling racialism, from slavery to emancipation to segregation and beyond. They were killed precisely when they shifted their focus away from civil liberties legislation and towards the economic conditions that could develop and maintain such legislation.
The neoliberal revolution and the crisis of socialism combined with the literal death of a nascent post-racial shift in the civil rights movement ultimately destroyed the New Left just as it was entering a period of transition. It now exists as a reactionary spectre, trapped in a perpetual limbo recognized only through floating signifiers such as "social justice" or "woke" or whatever else. What we call the left today is just the right.
