People (often bourgeois people in this case) want an escape from the troubles of the real world, so they lose themselves in art. When that art reminds them of the real world, they get pissed off.

It happened to me at the beginning of covid. I got really into Babylon Berlin. Then, spoiler, one of the main characters died. I had developed a parasocial relationship with this character, so I was shocked and devastated. I didn’t realize how attached I was until it happened. Then, one or two episodes later, they managed to bring the character back to life.

This might explain why blatantly communist art isn’t that popular and why g*mers have meltdowns over pronouns, women, and the existence of Black people. Bourgeois people want an escape from the teeming masses who are defeating them everywhere. So they lose themselves in art (and are often the only ones with the time and money to enjoy it). They don’t want a reminder in that art of how their time is running out.

I saw multiple people with American flags billowing outside their cars today and it’s really been years since it’s been like that here. There are also flags in so many places and so many houses. This is an elderly purple area of a rural purple state.

Can’t blame him honestly. Who hasn’t felt so alienated and awkward that they froze up at a party? You tankies will attack Biden for anything.

How are we supposed to get rid of American imperialism without being violent? Should we rely on magic instead?

Capitalism is when exchange. This is why McDonald’s began in prehistoric times.

Surrender. War crimes tribunals. Re-education. The rebirth of the USSR. We aren’t asking for much.
