I was wondering if anyone has any Marxist literature related to this topic, if it exists at all. Talking about "treats" is very much a part of the site's culture, so I'm wondering if this part of hexbear has any grounding in the Marxist understanding of the world in the 21st century.

This is not a shitpost, I'm genuinely curious. Thanks! stalin-approval

    Yeah that seems right. Most countries have some level of commodity fetishization, but Amerikkka elevates it to the level of core national identity.

      elevates it to the level of core national identity.

      So much so that it invades the political discourse a lot. The nonsense "culture war" focuses heavily on treats most of the time.

        We went from “women in the priesthood” as a cultural battleground to “women in my shitty live action service looter-shooter vidya”
