  • I’m not as surprised looking at their ‘‘credentials’’ on twitter, what they deemed important to ‘‘show off’’. That they graduated from Georgetown, an ivy league, that they enjoy raving (which likely entails psychedelics, leading to the ayahuasca bazinga brain, or new age hippie bullshit), and that they studied abroad in Japan (so they’re likely into anime and videogames, and gobble up everything Japan, cosplay or are geeky), and most telling of all, they grew up in LA, and we all know you need brain de-wormer growing up in the goddamn US. I forgot to mention that like me, they’re Millennial, and I’ve met a number of my generational kin that grew up with some privilege to study abroad, or mingle with people from other countries in ivy leagues and their bad takes. I think they studied with escuálidos in Georgetown and that misinforms their position. These are all assumptions, but tracking the brainrot is fun, just as it is for us tracking how we got here.

    As for the author this is one of those ‘‘ninis’’ that are neither Washington nor Moscow, but always end up in Washington.





  • What American cultural hegemony does to a motherfucker. Right now, we have people in India, in South Africa, in Perú, in China talking about ‘‘woke’’. Where did that come from? The US. Why are people with cultures so different from the gringos all talking about the same shit? Because US cultural hegemony has spread through social media, or the internet to be more specific. It’s their crap that gets viewed the most, that gets liked the most, that gets commented about if you wanna be ‘‘hip’’, it’s what everybody else around the world copies, and that’s how you end up with a bazillion channels all talking about goddamned ‘‘woke’’. The US has single-handedly dumbed down the entire world.
