    The whole "acid marxism" thing bothers me... so... marxism but up its own ass basically then? Cool.

    If they wanna keep hanging out on the n-word pedo site and complaining about Idpol... I'm glad they stayed there.

      Last I saw, that sub was for people who put way too much importance on Matt Christman thinking aloud.

        I don't know what it is about frequent psychadelic users but a lot of them end up with this attitude that they're the only ones who understand things - and then when they try to explain it - its just stuff that is already commonly undstood but way more complicated with bs.

        I respect Matt’s intelligence a lot, but he is 100000% better in like, the antifada History Is a Weapon series or something, than in hour long videos of him hitting blunts and rambling inanely about how you should stop caring about politics because you can’t change things.

          I was listening to some random Napoleon podcast and I was pleasantly surprised when the host brought Matt on for a special ep. He’s pretty good at explaining Marxist historiography, I hope if/when chapo disbands he does something educational like that

      It's a reference to Mark Fisher. His idea of acid communism wasn't fully fleshed out by the time he died IIRC, but it was about breaking out of capitalist realism and imagining a new future without capitalism. Not that the sub or the cushvlogs have anything to do with that.

      It's a sub about Matt's vlogs and trying not to be too online

          not literally just not using the internet, just being less wrapped up in the psychosis that the strictly performative internet culture puts you into
