Something you said that really resonated with me is, besides the experience with psychedelics, the way that people will treat you as a conspiracy theorist for deviating from the "correct" frame. I think this is a major barrier for escaping the neoliberal narrative, as it is very natural for us to try to fit in, to not be weird, to be accepted. Nobody wants, at face value, to be the loony commie and ostracised.

A bit unrelated, but this made me laugh out loud. Maybe this won't make sense to you, but there's this game called Victoria 2 (seems somewhat popular on hexbear) where the people can manifest different ideologies, and then there's the more radical equivalent for each. Like, communists for the socialists, reactionaries for the conservatives etc. They made up what they called anarcho-liberals for balance reasons, in order to make the liberals have their radical versions in-game, and your comment made me think of categorising these so-called anarcho-liberals as radlibs.

lmao people called morrowind ugly at inception

I would suggest that anyone interested in this subject read "The failure of capitalist production", by Andrew Kliman. The author delves into the tendency for the rate of profit to fall in marxist terms, looking especially, but not exclusively, at the 2008 crisis.

I mention this because he uses an analogy that made me understand the tendency for the rate of profit to fall more accurately: like gravity, the rate of profit tends to fall, but that does not mean that all objects on Earth will eventually reach their lowest point with no means of going back up. It is merely a tendency, which capitalism is always fighting back against, and not a deterministic prediction about an absolute low in the rate of profits in the future.

Good meme tho

lmao at the guy downvoting all the Nice

The Engels quote goes so hard

Well, he said he is not being funny, not that he is not trying to be.

For better or for worse, I think this ship has sailed.
