lmao imagine thinking that Settlers is an aesthetically left book, are you kidding me?
They're definitely not fucking with me, I've seen this shit in real time. I don't know how things are where you are, but in the US they're trying to coopt left language.
Everyone is always telling me Sakai is a based Maoist and so I gotta respect him. Plus even if it's not, come on, you know radlibs exist and they're the primary fans of the book.
About the second bit, I think everyone always coopts everyone else's language because that's just how communication works. If a right wing guy develops a worldview that has leftist characteristics, I just thank God that he's not more right wing. That's how this issue works for me. Even if they think they're doing that I don't think you should be worried.
So you're just gonna dump on something you never read even though it answers like 90% of your questions in this thread?
I know how communication works, I know how words get used, but what you seem to deny is that the right wing is literally coopting language for the purposes of recruitment
Well that is my impression of it which is why I don't plan on prioritizing it.
Look, I just opened up a pdf of it and it seems more Maoist and less radlib than I expected, which is still not my thing but I feel like I might get something out of it. I might read it eventually, but I'm very lazy for reading so it's not likely I'll get there. This quar I only got through like four books in all the time I've been stuck at home, and none of them were very long or hard. I'm sorry I was a jerk when you were so nice to me, that was uncalled for.
I mean, okay, you don't have to read it if you don't want, but don't mischaracterize it, especially not to others who should be reading it. I have a tough time getting through theory myself so I don't blame you. But it's worth a look if you want to understand why the US never had an effective class consciousness in its proletariat, and it explains that it's not because of identity politics.

Come on, it's not like that. I got limited time and energy. I'd rather prioritize things I'm interested in.
Right
It sounds like it is because you shit on it and implied it's woke radlib shit. It's not even a hard book to get through, man.

No one else is looking at this thread anymore, it's been 1 ~ 2 days lmao.
There's still upvotes happening, I ain't been doing them. Also you will at some other point in your life I assume talk to someone about Settlers.
OK, sounds fair
