  • Absolutely.

    This is what you get after decades of capitalist brainwashing, schools being defunded, worse and working to maximize profits instead of raising our future generations. Competition within the working class reaching an all time high and making people cannibalistic wage slaves that somehow still think they’re gonna be the next Elon. Consumerism making people obsessed about their material possesions and looking richer that the rest. Capitalism has made art and culture an expensive commodity to be bought and sold instead of given to the people to enlighten them and make them think for themselves. No one reads anymore, their attention spans are hardwired for 10 second reels that mostly play CIA propaganda by default if it’s politics related, e.g. the obsession with the Tiananmen “massacre” and a ton of memes about it giving the impression that it was historically brutal and definitely not something that the West has done in much worse ways. There are ton of examples about how “innocent funny memes” passively propagandise anyone that won’t really sit and read about what happened. Cynicism and nihilism are extremely common, probably due to the realization deep down that we are not even remotely living in democracies and the world is steadily getting worse and there’s not much you can do about it individually.

    I’ll say it again, how the fuck are we as communists supposed to radicalize the working class, when the working class refuses to think about anything on a deeper level that is outside of the given framework by the ruling class? How do you get someone to really understand something like Marxism, when they refuse to read anything longer than a maximum length Tweet?

    It really bothers me to see how each generation is seemingly getting less and less able to conceptualize and analyze the system they’re living under or pretty much anything for that matter, unless it’s a science and they’re getting paid to do so.






  • Usually world war 3 has been a concept in my mind that is objectively bound to happen in my life but not something that I really worry about on a practical level. Now with “Israel” rapidly bombing Lebanon and taking a big W by taking out Nashrallah before the ground invasion, my country as long with pretty much every other NATO country being actively participant in the escalating wars, the complete lack of interest of most common people when it comes to the Middle East, I am really starting to picture world war 3 happening and the material effects and huge difficulties it will bring to my family, the impossible decisions I will have to make then.

    Fuck NATO, fuck the imperialist core, and fuck all the apathetic everyday people that happily let all this happen in their name



  • Music is only a mirror to our complex capitalist societies. Obviously reactionary ideas are going to be popular during a time of capitalist economic crisis when the regimes are actively enforcing the propagation of those ideas and trying to silence progressive organizations that enlighten the working class. The reason girls tend to get less conservative must be because they understand that they are next in line if fascists take over and take away rights overnight.

    Mass produced monopolized music with modern algorithms to search for it also plays a role, it’s no coincidence that some AI generated formulaic crappy song with a simple but catchy beat is extremely easier to find than Macklemore’s songs about Palestine for instance
