Comic book movies and video games and anime and any western cartoons are all bad & dumb and you should all feel bad & dumb
There's this mass infantalization going on where it's apparently ok to proudly like & consume these things as a Millenial and not be considered a complete dork man/woman-baby and I think that's bad
Just look at the March for science

The problem isn't liking kids stuff (insert Mark Twain quote here), it's treating like a religion when it's entertainment.

Is actually being baptized a normal thing? Like is that the default over there?

Kind of. Quebec used to be really Catholic, and despite religion dropping off a cliff after the Quiet Revolution in the 60s, most kids get baptized. My parents also aren't married.

i feel like any hope for class consciousness is dashed due to the Red Scare. an entire generation of Americans and their descendants have been brainwashed to believe Socialism/Communism = Slavery.

Like, how could someone combat those misconceptions?

It's more than that: our entire society is based around being selfish assholes. It's incentivized by the way things are set up now (Shkreli isn't anyone special, he's a symptom).

Matt is genuinely my spirit animal and if he dies a part of me dies so if he actually goes ahead and chops off his own head that impacts me so I'm hugely invested in him finding reasons to hope again like he did when Jezza did well in our election.

Revolutionary Russia by Orlando Figes is a great read and covers the macro history from 1891-1991. Strongly recommend.


Mr. Lobe posted:

Trotsky's History of the Russian Revolution is also very good. It lays out the pre revolution politics in great detail and is an analytical account of the events going forward that is also very decent prose. You don't have to be a Trotskyist to appreciate it, it's considered one of the definitive accounts of those events for a reason.

Edit: included a link to Haymarket Books, who is currently publishing it

Thanks, will check those out.
