Yeah, youth is a very vulnerable time. I used to be that kid, too, that thought at 17 he had figured out most of what life was about. Thankfully, like you, I wasn’t as bad as this lad, but still, it sure is embarrassing to think back on.

This is a wee off topic but the ongoing coup in Venezuela has been very illustrative. On the 29th, after an uneventful election day on the 28th, riots began to form in small groups around the country, and these were mostly kids, and literal shitheads, as in criminals. It was very similar to the HK riots, where droves of youth were misled thanks to their British colonial education and social media. Old folks from Hong Kong knew better because they either lived through the Brit bullshit or had direct family that did. The same happens in Venezuela to an extent, the old people are aware of what the 4th Republic was and the rights they fought for that led to the Bolivarian Revolution. This is very common in post-socialist or AES countries, where kids can be misled easily, because all they’ve known has been life under socialist governments or have grown in a post-socialist landscape where socialism is blamed for everything. Our Eastern European comrades can attest to that. This is of course, on top of the capitalist propaganda we’re subjected to.

So, as with Milei, the youth were central to his election, and the youth have been the focus of fascist rhetoric through social media for quite some time. Without a revolutionary education to channel the energy of youth, it will decay into reaction against everything they’ve known. It is this misdirection that we broke with. But thanks, I wanted an excuse to develop that angle of how important social media is in indoctrinating youth.

That house is haunted by brainworm spirits from Twitter, it must be torn down, exorcised through diamat and then rebuilt as free housing in order to fully expiate the evil that dwelt inside.
