    Here’s your dystopia. We now have to stream garbage online for a living. The USA has been taken over by “online” culture. Capitalism has created an online-based society where the youth are pushed to be online and make shit Youtube videos in order to earn a living. Teens want to stream their own content , and social media and streaming platforms have become the only way they can attain financial success and the attention they desire. There is an increasing social incompetence among those people. This lack of social bonds has led to an increased reliance on online communication and interactions, making it harder for people to develop and maintain real-world relationships. This capitalist decadence is embraced by some and forced on others who are not interested in online content creation, but have no choice due to lack of fucking opportunities.

    In reality, however, this dystopian crap is never going to continue if Marxists take control.

    Considering China did an excellent job combating this online culture bs, as well as the fact that most ML’s aren’t fucking Gamers and can see this spiritual opium for what it is…

    Lenin’s definition of capitalist decadence: According to Vladimir Lenin, capitalism had reached its highest stage and could no longer provide for the general development of society. He expected reduced vigor in economic activity and a growth in unhealthy economic phenomena, reflecting capitalism’s gradually decreasing capacity to provide for social needs and preparing the ground for socialist revolution in the West.

          What the fuck is “gamer culture” even. Y’all just seem salty that people enjoy movies and playing games they like. I really don’t understand Anti-Entertainment, Anti-Enjoyment Leftists like you who want everyone to be in misery.

            Did you live under a rock for the past 10 years and miss shit like Gamergate? Gamer subculture is huge and explicitly used by the likes of steve bannon to funnel young angsty teens to the alt right.

              just because i play games doesn’t mean i label myself a gamer, nor do i actually know anyone who does. it seems like a highschool label drama that leaked out to the internet.

              but somehow others take the liberty to lump me into some amorphous group of “bad people”? nah. that’s just silly shit.

              there will always be people who latch onto labels to try to form an identity, but that doesn’t mean it applies to others who have things in common

                There are people who play videogames, and there are g*mers. These are different things.

              I was a minor who barely just got into the internet when Gamergate was taking place; and besides, it seems to be primarily a western online phenomena, and I’m not a westerner, so idk how the hell it’s going to affect me, a Global Southerner.

              Besides, I have better things to do than get deep into irrelevant online controversies. So yes, I did indeed “live under a rock for the past 10 years and miss shit like Gamergate”.
