"Eerie." Haha.

Eerie. As if there is a specter is haunting the place
Ein Gespenst geht um im Internet.
And all those years about people kicking and screaming about these issues was what? White noise?
These are the sort of people who never leave r/worldnews or r/politics, so this is their first exposure to others online actually expressing discontent with societal structure as a whole
Not American, but I feel as if contempt to these kinds of individuals is pretty universal in the American political spectrum. Sure you have the bootlickers. But a lot of people got screwed over denied claims from assholes like this one.
Nobody likes the health insurance companies. Like at best you find a story about how they had outstanding insurance through their job or their spouse or something. Nobody looks at an industry of middle men and thinks it's cool and good that they parasitically latched onto the conduit between the doctor and the patient. It's like asking people to feel good about credit card processing fees.
An eldritch spectre is spreading across the digital ether...
It probably is eerie if you're looking at it from the wrong side
Are they confused? Is that why there’s that odd choice of word?
If they don't know what capitalism does to society, they will always be confused.
I don’t think that they do. I think that they think capitalism is a good thing, and if you’re poor or struggling, it’s cause you lazy or uneducated.
: “nooooo! You were supposed to blame the jews like normal people!”
Even people that normally defend capitalism because they think it's "going to the store to buy things" or "freedom" or "patriotic" or even "the least bad system there is" look at the wanton rapacious ghouls like they suck.
You know when some dingus who never reads theory says something like "the problem isn't capitalism it's 'cRoNyCaPitALisM'?"
THIS HEALTH INDUSTRY SHIT IS THE EXACT SHIT THEY HAVE IN MIND.
it's like how even the most boot licking cop defenders don't defend the bad apples, they just use them as a foil for their bootlick argument? United Healthcare was a bad fucking apple.
Now what will it take for people to actually read theory
Brain rot format
Have you seen that TikTok video that was like a 3 way split screen of Yellow Parenti, someone playing Subway Surfers, and one of those visual ASMR videos? We need to make more of that type of content
Gotta hit em with the right theory for the moment: short, sweet and clearly relevant. Not a Dinner Party, Two Terrors, and the section of Pitfalls of Liberalism about the violence of the oppressor vs the oppressed are some good ones, I'm sure there are better I'm forgetting
I like how you think
Engrave the entirety of Kapital onto cartridges used to redact other CEOs
"I inscribed the entirety of War and Peace onto this grain of Basmati rice! In five languages!"
Need to break it down into a children's book. Then animate it. Then condense it into TikToks with loud out of place music.
With subway surfers on the bottom of the screen
want this even though i don't do tiktok
"ANTICAPITALISM! WOOOOOOOOO!"
Eerie, in the sense that it's foreboding
