Like, even the libs! Everyone’s all a buncha bootlickers, praising the uber-powerful for their hard work and success, I swear. Like, hellooooo, that’s all just privilege stolen from the workers!
I signed up to work where I work because everyone there was rad. Pretty much all the employees have cycled, and now it’s all libs and chuds. Waaaah!
So this is my very deep question: like, what’s up with that??
Edit: Sorry, I realized after I posted this is a better fit for !philosophy@hexbear.net, but it’s already at 1 upvote, so too late now!
I truly feel like we incentivize… the wrong behaviours. And not even by some grand intentional design, it’s just the way that power has shaped society. It sux. And the worst part sometimes feels like that last bit you mentioned: that the system generates beliefs that justify itself, and we end up in what Mark Fisher described as ‘capitalist realism’: the belief that exactly how things are are the only way it could possibly be. An utter failure of imagination; it’s kinda sad, tbh!
Here’s to a better world in a better future :red-fist:
