An r/neoliberal user goes through the most horrific experience imaginable

the Manga Carta

New weeb theory just dropped.

Using Salic Law to own the Marxists on the battlefield of ideas

Once I had someone try to refuse communism with something like "Marx was writing at a time where everything was made in factories. Times have changed."

ok which star trek replicator did your clothes come from mr liberal

Nonono neoliberalism fixed all that, look at the global extreme poverty graph, the line is going down! (Please don't look at what happens when you take China out).

they're re-legalizing child labor in some US states, and finding illegal child labor in others. capitalism is oopsie daisy still in its most grotesque form.

I started a podcast about end of history nostalgia and I kind of want to use prolonged vampire euphoria at least once, you mind?

Also child labor is still a thing in burgerland

All the people who post on reddit are pretty much just evil demons. They're aware of how things work. How could they not be when they're constantly saying "Pfft. All these MARXIST tankie McTankersons talking about value and workers and whatever. It's like, hey man, stop harshing the vibe!" They read the random paragraphs and instantly their brain sections it off so they can cope in real time. We all do it with information we don't want to internalize. Like horrifying news, whatever else. You read it, process it, "know it", but it's pushed off somewhere in your mind beyond real comprehension because it directly opposes your chosen beliefs.

Anyway, so that's one type of person basically beyond help. The posters who are open neolibs.

Heavily generalizing, I think there's two groups. The reddit demons and the "truly ignorants." And I don't mean ignorant of western, American, exploitation of China, etc. Everyone knows about that. Maybe they'll deny it, but, yeah. I mean those who know about it but sort of accept it because this is the life and world they born in to and they were told all along the way that the people of China, etc. must suffer in order for this world to keep existing. Or the implication was made clear anyway. Every single American knows it in their heart. So in that way, that they all know the truth, every single American is complicit in ongoing exploitation. And benefits from it. However, the part that I argue makes them truly ignorant is they were never told, of course, and never bothered to look much into it that... it doesn't have to be this way. It hasn't been this way for all that long historically. And this total outsourcing of labor has only become so ubiquitous since ~1970s.

Anyway, my only point here was yes you're right. They do ignore it. I don't know how many of them are doing Mr. Burns fingers while thinking about exploiting people to enrich capitalists, but it also doesn't matter. If you even lightly pay attention to "politics" even the sludge Americans call politics, there's no way to be a moral person and walk away with anything other than an anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist and really, boiled down, broadly anti-USA as a nation outlook. All the excuses of "brainwashing" and such ring hollow to me when these "people" see children and other obvious innocents murdered by the thousands, even millions on the bigger timeline, and still support their own Nazi state. I was born and raised in the USA and I came to see it for exactly what it is. Someone else just as "online" and exposed to reality has no fucking excuse in my book.

These are probably the same people that smugly go "uhm whatabout Uighur slave labour? :smuglord: what about Muslims enslaving people? Heh didn't think so, tankie :smuglord: "

Something something "my life is good and if yours isnt its your fault"

That whole sub seems like some elaborate bit tbh

They read like it, but knowing that sub? I doubt it.

a little bit of column A and a little bit of column B

I think that it’s a “Bro it’s just a book/movie bro. Don’t take it seriously bro,” type of joke. See if you analysis media critically you’re a real nerd, just as dweeby as those leftists telling you to read theory. Don’t they get that theory is just books?

I'm glad I did kickboxing as a teen, the experience of having to keep a neutral face after getting beaten up in front of a crowd that includes your parents will humble a person.

Oh ok. Seems pretty unserious because it makes no sense, but I suppose that fits too.
