@wgiwf@poa.st @minespatch@poa.st Rush Limbaugh called it back in 2006: Political cycles used to take between 10 and 20 years. However, the sudden popularity of 'social media' and the internet since 2008 now make it between 5 and 10 years. Not to mention that people stopped asking questions on who controls those early websites. I am VERY concerned that the generations that are half my current age are so brain numb that they will accept these no-wit Commies without thinking about their future. tldr ver: I just wish I was smart enough to drop out of college and convince Rush in 2006 that pop culture was worth defending.

@SIC_Guy@poa.st @minespatch@poa.st You can blame the "right's" embrace of liberal economics on this situation entirely. If Marxists are the only ones in the room who will even critique our dehumanizing system then they cannot but gain traction. The timeframe in which people will play the bullshit back and forth game has diminished greatly. Pop culture plays a role but if one side cedes the argument the other will win by default. There is a lot to pick apart when it comes to the DSA worldview in much the same way they have gained traction but that would require meeting people at the point of the moral injustice of our current economic system and aside from Tucker there are few people on the "right" willing to do so. All the words (correctly) spent attacking the lgbtq agenda are meaningless if you defend usury.
