Every self-estrangement of man from himself and nature is manifested in the relationship he sets up between other men and himself and nature. Thus, religious self-estrangement is necessarily manifested in the relationship between layman and priest, or, since we are dealing here with the spiritual world, between layman and mediator, etc. In the practical, real world, self-estrangement can manifest itself only in the practical, real relationship to other men. The medium through which estrangement progresses is itself a practical one. So through estranged labour man not only produces his relationship to the object and to the act of production as to alien and hostile powers; he also produces the relationship in which other men stand to his production and product, and the relationship in which he stands to these other men. Just as he creates his own production as a loss of reality, a punishment, and his own product as a loss, a product which does not belong to him, so he creates the domination of the non-producer over production and its product. Just as he estranges from himself his own activity, so he confers upon the stranger and activity which does not belong to him.

What the fuck is a funko soda

[-] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

I barely understand why funko pops exist in the first place, they're making drinks now?

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

I think it's a way to sell a smaller, cheaper toy in a smaller, cheaper package. The company has been struggling if I'm not mistaken and enshittification probably hit them too.

What's nice about learning all of this is that i'm at the point where i'm not going to retain it. Like scattered leaves to the wind.

I wonder if there's a gacha aspect to it too, the way it says "pulled firat try"

You used to at least specifically choose the soulless gumball-eyed character you wanted

I have to go and interact with other human beings in about 45 minutes. I did not know this person, or funko pop soft drink existed.

How am I supposed to go to other people and look them in the eye now? How can I possibly go on knowing that this exists, an echo of a simulacrum of a simulacrum, a puppet of a man dancing along to the strings of his corporate masters as he shills products more and more separated from reality.
