[glances at the crypto crash and its effects on the global economy] well at least we aren't doing literally the exact same thing with the housing market

its not punishing enough to be a nazi and hold nazi beliefs right now.

on that "has my overall health gotten worse because of long covid or am i just aging" grind

BREAKING: With real-terms wages at a new low, children in poverty, rampant homelessness, record profits, and corruption at every level in politics, we have to ask an important question – has "pronoun culture" gone too far?

question for the marxists out there: what do you call it when people in highly cartelized, status/credential- hoarding, labor-aristocratic / petite bourg- aspirant professions (doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc.) start experiencing precarity and market discipline?

is there a better term for this than proletarianization?

a decade ago if you read an article like
"american scientists show promising Alzheimer's cure"

you'd get to the 2nd paragraph, find where it was published, go to pubmed , then sci-hub, read the paper and discover, near inevitably, that its a small in-vitro test (done w some chemical on some cells in a Petri dish/ test tube) or w/e

this of course wouldn't stop people from taking that 2nd hand misrepresentation by the illiterate science journalist and talking it up as a "breakthrough"

following through and finding actual information sources is *work* for the reader, theres an expectation of journalistic integrity (lol) so people just accumulate a ton of nonsense over their lives from half-remembered headlines and press releases and advertising-posing-as-journalism

the problem of generative text writing like chatgpt isn't such a new one, its just a [generate rigorous looking bullshit] button now

a decade ago you needed a person to fabricate the truth

really hoping someone gets mad at me for saying the recent uptick in traditional-looking 3D animation has at least as much to do with arc system works as spiderverse

recorded a video about pussen boots. call that the breadtube special

youtube bitchiness 

complete aside but political debunk videos are my least favorite genre of video essay and the whole "anti-misinformation" thing has always seemed pretty transparently useless idk

Show thread

or maybe what we need is a documentary revealing all the lies a politician did. i bet that'll do a revolution this time

Show thread

you don't do revolution with art or with theory or with a populist representative or with a non-profit or etc etc etc... you do it with a vanguard party embedded in working class communities that builds a national platform based on what real human beings need in their own words. everything else can and should exist in support/under guidance of that vanguard, but fundamentally revolution requires principled non-individualist organization from the local to the national scale

Show thread

look i'm just a film student who only started earnestly reading theory about five years ago, i'm woefully underread, i'm not an expert (i mean fucks sake i'm a youtuber), but it sure does seem conspicuously convenient that the only political framework for effective revolution that's ever been demonstrably successful in a multitude of circumstances happens to be the most consistently demonized and written off out of hand by the liberal establishment & those captured by its propaganda

Show thread

the answer is always leninism. the answer is always vanguard party. it's ALWAYS vanguard party. why do you think we assassinated and undermined the black panthers so aggressively? look at who the american empire deems a real threat. look at what they DID. look at how hard the neoliberals worked to completely erase the seismic impact they had on american politics in the 60s and 70s. solidarity forever isn't just a slogan. politics isn't a fandom. be a materialist for gods sake!

Ever wonder where the transmisogyny goes when someone is exempt? Yeah, that's me. I take it upon myself, that those who profess my name may be TME through the pain of my sacrifice. I'm basically the Jesus of trans women,
