I don’t like this guy but I cant, begrudge people for having confused politics, pretty much every major ideology has failed in the last 50ish years. We have this rank centrist liberalism that manages to stay in power because frankly no one is competent or confident in their version of an alternative (including us if we are honest, it could be changing I have reasons I think it might) but also to be clear this liberal centrism is wet paper as both partys have to use negative partisanship in order to stay legitment so its more that liberals version of communism exists today and all they have to do is defend it from criticism but even they are facing a crisis of legimacy.
Staying on topic its strange we haven’t seen people like this weirdo earlier.
I guess maybe your right I think I want to take serious the superstructure of ideology and how years of neoliberalism material base informs increasingly more fringe ideology popng up on the internet, like trying to understand why maga communism is a thing, why are some teens into r/neoliberal. But I also was a teenager at one point so I get that perspective.
With fucking incomprehensible politics

Edgy contrarianism > Edgy conformism

I don’t think it’s that deep, it’s a child regurgitating politics from memes and streamers, just vibes and a phase
