Just finished reading my third book on marxist political theory, just a few more and I think I might be ready for this "Disco Elysium" you guys have been telling me about,
Walter wide was many things but it is extremely funny how he neglected his own flesh and blood teenage son in order to be an even worse father to a wholly different guy
I also love when thousands of artists are at risk of losing their job to AI #slop
cmon you cant tell me he doesnt desderve all those jobs #daretobestupid
I'll stop posting about this I swear, but this pissed me off so bad. it's basically identical to that 'cozy disco elysium' bait post but unironic
crazy how kim kitsuragi has such powerful gay swag that it makes the fan base collectively forget that one of his main character traits is being a massive centrist lol
i couldn't make myself choose so
has the anti-intellectualism on this site gotten worse or am I just new here. I feel like I regularly see people bragging about not knowing stuff
i actually forgot About politics i dont know what they are anymore. idk who joe biden is and if anybody tells me i will kill them
is the US government fa-- no i'm just kidding, it's my turn to ask you that next week. do you think that the occasional criticisms of tumblr as the "moral OCD website", or just generally viewing interactions online or irl through a lens of moral OCD as a social/communal phenomenon, are useful? i know it's not intended to be of any particular function other than winning arguments online but i still wonder about it.
I mean moral OCD is an ironic or joking way to describe it, this is really just ascetic guilt-based morality. This is what happens when people think responsibility and accountability are the end all be all of politics and have a hard dichotomy between purity/goodness and impurity/guilt so they always want to be the ones holding accountable and never the ones being held accountable. It’s an extreme version of what popular radical liberal morality used to be because as a website and subculture Tumblr operates like a sealed vivarium
you have just got to stop crowing about "the ruling class losing control of the narrative" every single time a bunch of usamericans on twitter are doing meme politics with zero understanding of or commitment to basic principles of historical materialism or anti imperialism. some of these are legitimate opportunities for radicalisation if the organisational infrastructure existed but they're emphatically not radicalisation or mass politics on their own
