    Could it be? Is this the magical holiday spirit I’m feeling that I keep hearing so much about every year? Bloomer

    I can’t wait for this quasi-class consciousness thing to fade out in a few weeks so I can go back to being a jaded curmudgeon.

      if it doesn’t i’m going to continue to be so unbelievably smug over how my “adventurism works” post seems to have been vindicated by this adventurism working

        Rofl, don’t get me wrong, I WANT to see this actually start something. I was talking to my therapist in my session today about this and my whole “Americans only have a 4 year memory” spiel and like we’ve all seen this before with BLM and women’s rights stuff and it always just fizzles out after a while because we are all too busy getting ground up from existing in a capitalist hellscape. But I will say, I haven’t seen nearly this much focus on “class consciousness” as I have on literally all my socials as I have in the last week.

        It’s weird that it’s such a part of anyone of us that has read theory, that seeing class consciousness get brought up from really any random group, whether it be the blue collar right, the libs, or the socialist-leaning that just haven’t read Lenin or Marx, or whomever, that it actually almost feels promising. Like, we won’t see a revolution because of this of course, but I think between this and this last election, maybe we will really see something happen amongst the prole.

    • Interesting to see how many people I’ve talked to or read comments that are literally surprised that they feel the way they do. A lot of people who seemed to balk at the idea of any kind of violence are discovering that, no, actually violence directed toward a CEO did not trigger an automatic revulsion in them like they thought it would have before it happened. So minds might actually be changing a bit

        Yeah the material conditions are looking grim for americans and thats why class consciousness rises and the contradictions are getting too obvious to pave over with a treats.

        None of the people that were critical on this website thought that a rando going explicitly after a CEO of americas most beleaguered subject isnt a sign for increasing contradictions.

          Your powers of statistical interpretation, and arriving at conclusions as a result of loose correlations are impressive. So you’ve already arrived to it’s the woke’s fault? And where’d you even find such an obscure statistic?

          Maybe you should wrap yourself around a tree?

        Right now the angle seems “yeah the right is the only that can help while the woooke left screams about pronouns instead”

          I mean I’m sure they’ll find a way to channel this into something awful, but there’s no way they can admit that killing CEOs is good, or that private healthcare is bad. Traditionally, this is where conspiracy theories come into play.

      Knowing how absolutely diseased the yankee settler brain is, this will turn into a “globalist bankers and CEOs controlled by russians and see see pee, also maybe UFOs?” rhetoric soon.

    I love that someone was enough of a cuck to both attempt to remove one and fail fantastically at it at the same time. I would die of embarrassment if a testament to my weakness and stupidity was just hanging out in the open for everyone to see like that.
