No more cape shit once you hit 30. Do some praxis instead or read a good book.
I’m not really a superhero type of dude but I think people can enjoy these things and still be a good communist. Sometimes the brain needs a little slop
image if someone started re-dubbing random popular movies but changed a lot of the dialogue to be about Marxism lol
Using my dbz power level scanner to find out how many bolts of linen goku can weave
I feel like at this point in my life, my passion for a better world sometimes clouds reality and I feel like that can apply to all commies. I still don’t know whether “letting people enjoy things” has as much of an impact on material reality as we like to think (e.g. I don’t even think the average person looks at media like we do).
Fuuuuuuuck if I know though
Dont get me wrong I totally understand looking at modern media these days and realizing how not only propagandized it can be but also how copy paste it is and hating it. I get looking at media through an ML lense and cringing only to then see another ML enjoying it and wondering how they don’t see it the way you do. But I mean, at the end of the day, it’s all mindless slop meant to be enjoyed as mindless slop.
I’ve definitely fanboyed over star wars and read hours and hours and hours of lore in an obsessive frenzy knowing full well the whole time that im “wasting my time” as if all of our time needs to be spent doing something meaningful or productive. Ironically I think this feeling is rooted in capitalism. The belief that all of our time needs to be spent furthering some goal is pretty horrendous in all honesty. I like my slop and I think slop is good for us in moderation (though the slop is not moderated well in most people)
Thank god for Disney saving me from Star Wars by wiping all the lore I knew. Sunk cost finally held no sway.
