  • I should’ve been on here instead. I legitimately thought that Anarchists, Communists, &c could make a difference being on there. Now I get people deliberately blocking accounts that aren’t even fascist, and being concerned with “bullying” instead of actually solving real problems. BSky has upper-class liberals talking about D&D, whining about how laws aren’t being followed correctly, cheerleading American imperialism, making unfunny jokes, and claiming that radical politics came from 4chan rather than legitimate political grieviances. All sorts of suburban slime. I really should’ve been elsewhere.

    Well, I wasn’t actually disregarding it, I thought it was something you said as a meme.

    Regardless, I never liked Twitter, even before Musk purchased it. It was never worth going on, and I’d always hear from 2015 onward what was “going on on Twitter” in all sorts of non-Twitter stuff, like different social media sites, radio deejays, movies, the news, and billboards. I hated it so much. I was hoping for Twitter’s downfall being something like, say, Twitter being taken offline, or a better site appearing, and I am not a fan of Nazis and billionaires, but since it’s gone, I am now vindicated. Although I went to Bluesky afterward, and although it does embody what people liked about Twitter, I don’t gel with what people liked about Twitter. It’s for squares. It’s for normies, for regular Joes, for the suburban wife with 2.5 kids who loves football and shopping for wine. It’s for married couples who always follow the law and believe that Hawaii should remain a U.S. state, whose sole exposure to Marx comes from seeing counter-terrorist PSAs. It’s simply not for me.







  • Well, has it solved global conflicts? Has any president or other great leader been influenced by Critical Theory? Has there been a successful government program or popular revolution based on Critical Theory? Has Critical Theory solved problems of hunger, or any resource shortage? Has Critical Theory made laws easier to understand and more fair? Things like that. I keep hearing about it, and altho some right-wingers say it’s evil, other people have more confusing answers. I’m a more classical Marxist, and I’ve read through some of it, but I can’t understand if it would help the proletariat towards revolution, or just well-being in general.


  • Bitch, words have wildly varying meanings. What does “embolden” mean here? What does “communication” mean here? Is this a religious thing? The transcription process of DNA can be described, as can the movement of planets, and what causes fire to burn and extinguish, but for some reason this is too esoteric for me to understand because of “the system”. What is this “system”? What isn’t this “system”? Is this the Anything-But-Class theorizing that Parenti was talking about?
