Boots even said himself in an interview that it was a parallel for scientific racism. Proto-capitalism literally inventing a species out of thin air for the extraction of surplus value.

Idk, that plus the TV show where he got covered in shit had that perfect stomach-turning Paul Verhoeven/John Carpenter vibe. This is the sickness that we are living with.

Non-Aligned Movement nuclear pact when?

I agree 100%. Brigading won't even need to be deliberated on like this if we get big enough. It will arise naturally, like the old "post hog" or PPB.

Somebody on here recommended Vanced to me, so now I don't see ads on YouTube mobile anymore.

Do it 3 times.

"Picking gnat shit out of pepper". To be overly concerned with minor or inconsequential details.

I vaguely remember it and wholeheartedly agree, I actually stole the 'wow so that happened' from him.

Agreed. It can be used in a good way, for sure.

Along the same lines of what someone else said about things not being serious anymore, I'm tired of every fucking thing being meta, self-referential, or post-modern.

Everything has to be a wink, nod "you don't really buy this, do you?

Like fuck it was original to break the fourth wall in the 70s or something, critique of grand narratives and all that, but now nothing can be self contained.

Does every show or movie have to have "Wow, so that happened". Or like the fucking dragons in GOT turning their heads like dogs in a romantic scene. Just infantilizing.

Let things be sad or serious or whatever. The above-it-all, snarky bemused shit is so fucking bourgeois. "Hmm, it doesn't matter, I'm too smart to care about any of this."

Fuck off. Some things matter. I rather something be up its own ass and self-serious (which is easily dismissed, ridiculed, etc) than to be overly ironic.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but honestly that sounds really peaceful and almost cocoon-like. Not to say that my experience (00-13) was much different, but I feel like I've always imbued everything with a cosmic significance for as long as I can remember. It sounds nice to perceive your life in such a grounded, mellow way.

Vote!

Leave us pain pigs out of this.

If you want a breakdown of neoclassical and Keynesian economics as well as why they are wrong and his argument for an Althusserian Marxism, try Contending Economic Theories: Neoclassical, Keynesian, and Marxian. Honestly I think you are better off reading any of the commonly recommended books stickied in the megathreads: Das Kapital, State and Revolution, etc.

Like the French peasantry described by Marx as a sack of potatoes rather than an organized whole.

Idk if it's because chapo.chat is still quite small relative to what r/cth was or because of the inherent solidarity/appreciation for what we had once the subreddit was banned, but I've noticed a lot less sarcasm, cynicism, infighting and much more comradely behavior here. Unironically makes me really hopeful. Revolutionary optimism.
