    Literally worshiping at the blood alter of imperialism.

    I've said it before and I will say it again:

    Its [capitalism] total form is something that is difficult to truly comprehend, and once you actually learn enough to glean even so much as its outline, the more one tends to recoil in horror or embrace it wholly. We’re essentially all raised as acolytes of this death cult for a dark god of our own making.

    Expanding on this analogy, reading theory is akin to reading the Necronomicon, if you manage to come out with your sanity intact you suddenly realize how petty and meaningless electoral politics are (particularly in the west and especially in the belly of the beast) and will galvanize your resolve to destroy it.

    Once you glimpse the cosmic horror that is the total shape of the US empire and the monstrosity of capitalism that drives and is driven by it, unthinking unfeeling, insatiable, with a singular purpose of consuming everything on the planet without regard for life it takes immense mental and emotional resolve to possess that knowledge without sinking into despair or becoming misanthropic. Everyone of you here may not feel like it, because it’s a hell of a burden to bare, but you’re all incredibly strong people who I admire very much.

      The way 'imperialist' and 'capitalist' have been turned into signs by which whoever criticizes it flags himself as to not be taken seriously is one of capitalism's greatest tricks. I've noticed it a lot in popular media.
