what is generational wealth?
what is generational wealth?
incredibly simplistic perspective, and intellectually dishonest; we traded monarchy for a dictatorship of the capital owning class.
scrub the influencer brainworms from your gray matter for one moment and produce a critical thought–
engagement with what, exactly?
the signal which carries no message is white noise.
meaningless engagement is distraction, wasted bandwidth.
an emoji is not a meaningful improvement to the material condition of the working class, or a threat to the status quo. It’s not even relevant to the abolition of work.
thank goodness internet tough guys exist to defend limp-dick slacktivism.

petitioning for a fucking emoji epitomizes the criticism that social media is a vehicle for diverting action into impotent dialogue.
retributive violence against individual actors is not the same as dismantling oppressive systems, and should not eclipse the important work of creating resilient communities and networks of mutual aid to replace those heirarchies.
“victims of ideologies”
big enlightened centrist energy
is an ideology just defined as any set of beliefs besides your own? lol
I hope you get to experience the growth in empathy to look back and feel ashamed of this interaction.
good luck. 👍
textbook.
are you capable of engaging beyond trying to insult me?
ps: you’re working for the ownership class when you attack the working class. you are literally a tool, upholding oppressive heirarchies which weaken our capacity to wield collective power and achieve liberation from the rich you claim to be so concerned with
“And the obese milkin’ welfare”
“…if you’re 5-foot-3 and you’re 300 pounds Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge round”
as if fat people and social welfare programs are the problem.
your head is so full of neoliberal brain- worms that you cannot recognize a leftist criticism. you’re literally defending bigotry/ reactionary entryism.
You had a chance to describe all things wrong about this song to every one.
I have, with very specific language. you’ve simultaneously accused me of not explaining myself, and of using ‘big words,’ which by your own admission you do not understand. maybe you should focus on understanding my argument before trying to refute my position. attacking me personally, accusing me of anger/ irrationality, is not an effective argument.
you’re projecting a lot of your own discomfort and lack of understanding/ context onto me.
disseminating reactionary populist entryism masquerading as folk music is not a great look.
are you capable of critical thought, or do you simply consume whatever appears on your plate?
how seriously I approach ‘art’ is my prerogative. If one is not comfortable with criticism, they should keep their thoughts to themselves.
how do you reconcile a position which claims to care about folks without enough to eat, with the line complaining about welfare (food assistance)?
It isn’t even critical of the capital-owning class or the oppressive heirarchy which protects the institution of private capital, just an ephemeral ‘rich man up north’ (this is a reactionary dogwhistle, if you’re not familiar with the US)
I think you’re not taking art (and I use this term loosely here) seriously enough.
everything is political, especially to those not in the priveledged position to pretend aloof detachment holds any value whatsoever.
the song is trash, at every level.
furthermore, I suspect OP is an authoritarian and likely an accelerationist; no ally of the global working class.
the song represents reactionary recuperation of revolutionary aesthetic, stripped of radical solidarity.
it is pandering to the reactionary worship of ‘rebellion’ as a self-evident virtue, but the shallow analysis is crafted to manipulate populist outrage against individual actors without addressing the systemic factors which have lead us to this place.
it bitches about “obese” folks “milking welfare,” and promotes the Proto-fascist conspiracies regarding ‘costal elites.’
this ain’t it cuz.
reactionary pandering
lhd suggests otherwise, yank.
capitalism has always carried the implied threat of starvation for those unable or unwilling to labor in order to enrich the capital owning class.
this sort of vapid whitewashing/revisionism is just ‘maga’ for neoliberals, and is entirely devoid of substance.
show me a period of prosperity under capitalism and I’ll show you a marginalized population subjugated.
