There's this reactionary trope that Communism is just something teenagers who have never had real jobs are into, that somehow the basement-dwelling adolescents of the imperial core petit bourgeois are able to easily blaze through all The Manifesto, Grundrisse, Anti-Duhring, German ideology, All 3 volumes of Das Kapital, All 3 volumes of Theories of Surplus Value, etc. etc. etc. before they're old enough to drink, and then after getting an associates degree abandon it because they learned to adult... it's patently absurd. If anything the type of people in question don't even begin to question liberalism until they're well into their 20s and sufficiently addled with student loan debt and long hours and a bleaker future than their parents.

21 year olds when they get their first paycheck

Lol this Marx stuff is so dumb 😂 time to look past all of this stuff I’ve learned about surplus value and blame the gubmint like a real patriot

Liberals all claim to have finished Capital yet cannot describe any of Marx’s ideas. When they say they have read Marxists, what they probably mean is that they read 1984 and maybe looked at the first page of Capital once.

babies love reading, fucking nerds.

This guys favorite book must be something called like "THE BIG MOTHERF*CKING BOOK OF IDEAS", written by a standup comedian-turned-NYT-writer, where the thesis is somewhere between "Space is so. fucking. big." and "Guess what? Nothing matters so get back in your cubicle". You can find it on a bargain shelf at Goodwill or on the bathroom counter of your second-drunkest uncle.

Reminds me of the neoliberal post advising users to ignore communist posts unless the claims can be easily looked up on Wikipedia

I'm curious wtf this guy reads. Probably Jordan Peterson.

You idiots still read books? Try acting for once. I vandalized a trash can outside my local Target store to dismantle the establishment (the cops were called (I ran away)). Where's your Marx now, nerds?

Libs are literally too superstitious to read marx

Reading communist theory is for babes

They are definitely using the isle of man flag as a cowardly substitute for the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging flag:

They 100% do not live on the isle of man lmao.

"Everyone above the age of 16 is domesticated into being a soulless NPC that is unable to critique the ruling class political economy of the society they live in" NOT THE ARGUMENT LIBS THINK IT IS!!! lmao

Joke's on them, most of this board doesn't read theory

Real mature grown-ass adults avoid things that are For Babies(tm) and only consume edgy glorifications of fictional atrocity enjoyers that are super smart, coldly uncaring, and better than everyone else, the kind that Get Shit Done(tm) and Make All The Hard Decisions(tm) in Prestige TV(tm) shows.

spoiler

"Getting Shit Done"(tm) either maintains the status quo or doesn't threaten it. The only atrocity doers that really go too far are the ones intending to improve society somewhat, which is naive as presented in the fiction.

I wonder how much community organising, charity, mutual aid, outreach, education and union work this ass does himself.

Because I'm pretty sure the basement dwelling theory readers here are doing just that.

Conversely if that's how arrogant and chauvinistic the user is, maybe they should just avoid social interaction that might invalidate their fragile ego and perception of the world and their take on it otherwise they might lash out with condescension for feeling inadequate.

Reading Marx keeps you young. I swear I de-aged a month reading the communist manifesto the first time.

Lmao I was in that thread, it was a ride. That user was complaining that hexbear users were brigading and also super hostile. I try and discuss this with him, ending the post with a link to Combat Liberalism and he goes to say "muh millions dead china evil" kinda trite stock phrase.
Other users engage with him (civilly) and he immediately starts flinging shit.

But it's of course the hexbear users that are problematic.

Also this post is brigading according to that user lol. Let's all make plans on how to brigade him. Who's got access to the discord? We need to coordinate somewhere private.

The brainworm levels are off the charts

you should stay out of rooms

what did they mean by this
