    you know its so brutally fucking over for any sort of leftist resistance these days when even contemporary internet comedy serves not to criticize the values of the current order but instead reinforce them through over 9000 layers of irony

    'leftist resistance' isn't online

      Yes that is true, that comment is hyperbolic and cringe because what I actually wanted to get at is the fact that organized leftist resistance cannot come from online in a meaningful way detached from a real life movement because of how utterly poisoned the well is online culturally (due to american culture and other factors) and more importantly how much control the elite/capital have over the internet, therefore enabling its use as a means of deception, division, and distraction.

      I.e. look at how they fucked r/antiwork as soon as it started gaining traction.

      Completely different point to what I said tbh its very silly and unstructured of me in that regard.

        If you're talking about the mod shit r/antiwork fucked itself, if you're talking about it's general libifacation since gaining popularity that should further illustrate the futility of using the internet as a starting point for leftist movements
