i think youre overestimating “our late capitalist overlords” a bit. Action sells, happy endings sell, philosophical dramas don’t. 2049 flopped, ready player one was a financial success. One was filled with pop culture references, the other was bleak and nearly 3 hours. Making things dumber & easier to understand will usually get you more money.

Anyway, imagining a better future or a worse future are both leftist perspectives, because as you said, a better future is revolutionary, while a worse future is usually from the perspective of someone suffering from capitalism, but it doesn’t matter as long as opportunistic producers make either one marketable. :porky-happy: That’s the beauty of capitalist realism.

what is it exactly?

my last job (that i spent 29 days at before getting fired) was working for the county, but the thing is i never ended up doing any work, because they were still figuring things out. Basically i had to show up on time to simply look busy for 8 hours 5 days a week (with nothing to do), and when i fell asleep they fired me :agony-immense:
