I have not read enough Lenin and I will fully and shamefully admit to this fact, though my total is not zero. What I have read however is Settlers, which elucidated clearly the contradiction and deception behind the idea of the white “working class” in the west. Judging by your edit it was not clear the group I was speaking of and I will also fully admit to that.

Half the internet is ligma and the other half is uncensored porn.

Doesn’t have to be China. Could be anywhere that’s not the first world. BadEmpanada moved to Argentina, you have options.

I am speaking of the ones at Empire’s final fall and China’s rise who chose to remain rather than emigrate. Infinite chances were given and infinite chances were ignored. Those who have left/will leave between now and then have/will have proven themselves to be traitors to whiteness and have already reclaimed some of their proletarian characteristic by denying the shiny blood trinkets. Waking up and accepting the hardship that comes with becoming an enemy of capital is all that is needed, and when capital falls those that stayed have proclaimed by staying that they had no interest in denouncing their privilige. They simply loved the trinkets too much.

Good. We shouldn’t be allowed to be. We were born into the imperial core and instead of taking the hard and painful but correct action of emigrating, we prioritized our own personal welfare and embraced the suffering we caused to others while rationalizing it away with feel good platitudes. We have no class consciousness and no potential to develop it and cannot be integrated into a truly proletarian society. Best outcome, we get placed out of the way where no more harm can be done.

More importantly the more you experience things outside of gaming your desire to engage with games will also fade.

Didnt play elysium because I hung myself in the starting room from the fan and figured that was a fitting ending for a cop

This was the first of several writingbased reasons that the game never synced for me like it apparently did for everyone else. The game wants you to feel for cop man Harry and it never succeeded in convincing me to have interest in his wellbeing and I’m surprised as many people had that interest as they did. I still went through the motions of his road to healing arc because that’s what the game clearly wants you to do but by the end I still felt nothing for this slightly less of a total wreck man, and by then the rest of the writing had started to annoy me as well.

Not to suggest I suddenly have any interest in this game either. Giving private investor skinwalker slop space in your brain never ends well, and the cynic in me has to believe the lesbian protagonist was chosen solely to gain favor with the less intellectually rigorous Tumblr side of DE’s fandom that never even played the game or knew what dialectical materialism was and just got obsessed with drawing and writing about Harry and Kim kissing. The same people that hideous “collage mode” was added to cater to.

It could also never be made today because no one but the most deluded of white lib FB moms would have any appetite for a show about how your exploitative labor aristocrat boss is actually one of you and you should love him. If that’s not the most American show premise of all time tell me what is. The British are addicted to their own exploitation too, but they’re also critically depressed cynics, so the UK version at least had the decency to have the Gervais character be a universally reviled loser that everyone is relieved to see get fired.

The average are average due to apathy to the world beyond their individual delusion, which lets fascism in the door.

Remember that time the siterunners accidentally revealed the entire site as an Eglin AFB psyop.
