mediaphage posted:i think off and on about what kind of person i could have been, in terms of ending up a chud. like i grew up queer in the south in an abusive family and it obviously had an impact on me. if i were straight would i be going to church and voting for trump? christ the thought kind of terrifies me Being queer and in a heavily queer community was a good means to offset a lot of that poo poo. I mean, I was pro gay rights from well before I was comfortable with acknowledging I might not be straight - but that kind of fueled a bit of an anti-religious mentality. But it honestly makes a little too much sense to me how young men get radicalized. I feel like i came very close to buying into the "evil SJW" crap in gaming, if not actually kind of believing it for awhile, before it got real bad & became apparent it was stupid as gently caress.

Gonna hazard a guess and say it's because on average we watch less cable television than most, especially cable/24-7 news, and avoid facebook and the like.

I wonder about that too. Liberals divert people to idpol, which fuels culture war, while the underlying conditions remain the same, which causes problems, which Liberals then redirect to culture war 🔄 Would the people who become gamer reactionaries otherwise be leftists if that had been introduced to them first? I think the Bernie and Corbyn campaigns did a not of good for addressing that, though in the 2010s Canada didn’t really have a voice for disaffected young people who feel poo poo sucks and are looking for an explanation why, Peterson filled the void. Also, will liberalism burn itself out by turning every single problem into not enough BIPOC LGBTQAA representation? I mean, how much material reality can hide behind there? e: Everything you guys are saying make sense. It’s just too bad there’s not a way to predictably catch people at that moment, you know as a mass movement rather than individuals slowly coming to terms with things and finding small online communities or books or social groups.

Frosted Flake posted:That was fantastic, thank you. I did adopt that worldview! I grew up with it, and my parents believed it too. I think nowadays it's just impossible not to see the world for what it is. It doesn't matter how much junk is on the news about the economy doing great!!! when people can see for themselves that their wages have stagnated and stuff costs more and all the obviously preventable suffering around them, even for those fortunate enough to be comfortable. Even my mother has been drifting leftwards despite us not talking politics much and her not being terminally online. I regret that I didn't get into organizing in my 20s. Instead I just wasted a decade of my life being sad and nihilistic about never being able to find a job that would just pay me enough to live on my own in a little studio apartment.

vyelkin posted:yeah, the whole point of neoliberalism wasn't necessarily to use the state to enforce technocratic capitalism, it was about removing the ability of the state to do anything else. end of history meant end of state power, and third way leaders more than anybody else made sure that "the state can't do anything" became the defining ideology. people might acknowledge that the state had the theoretical authority to do things, but they made sure that the ideological apparatus surrounding the state constantly reaffirmed that it shouldn't, both because it was theoretically wrong and because it was inefficient. everything is more effective when someone other than the state does it, so why would you ever want the state to do anything even if you acknowledge that it can?

Joint statement from Canada’s unions on the Ottawa occupationcanadian labour congress posted:Canada’s unions have fought for generations for the right to protest. This is a cornerstone of our democratic system. But what we have witnessed on the streets of Canada’s capital over the past thirteen days is something different altogether. This is not a protest, it is an occupation by an angry mob trying to disguise itself as a peaceful protest relevant to the discussion on what actual working people might be thinking in re the current sitch
