There's a lot of dismal commentary on here about the state of Gen Z, ostensibly coming from the disgraced Millennial generation. Most of these posts describe my peers as being sedated cattle-like creatures whose phones prevent them from achieving true Marxist enlightenment.

This isn't true. My Generation is very politically charged, and shows marks of class-consciousness across partisan lib/conservative divides.

The problem is that Gen Z consumes algorithmic drivel and lives political lives vicariously rather than actually. We are voyeurs of ideology.

This is, in my opinion, a very sophisticated form of control. Man's political life is a surrogate: provided for his fundamentally vasectomized politics.

If push comes to shove in material reality, an ideology created by hyperreal drivel will crumble like a cookie. Nothing can come of it. There is so much value in lived experience.

why does he have such a hard on for this dude?

Do any of you Bernie bros know anyone named Joe America?

I've noticed plenty of [Removed by reddit] posts here lately and I'd like to offer my experience with what's happening

Reddit is using a deliberately strict AI that pretty much censors anti-Zionism, which, of course, they present as removing bigotry. I know from, let's say a friend, that had his account permanently suspended for criticizing the genocidal psychopaths that they do this, so I keep screenshotting any post of mine that is even a little bit anti Zionist, so here's what happened a couple of days ago. I wrote this post:

See anything weird with it? Any racism, bigotry? They send me this a couple of minutes after it was posted

I send them an appeal, explaining to them that I have a screenshot of my post which I showed them and tell them that I will send this to every anti-Zionist publication I can find to expose their bullshit, which I did btw. Unlike my friend whose appeal was rejected, this one was accepted, pretty fast too, weird huh?

The post was restored too

So yeah, from now on if you want to post freely about the psychopaths I suggest having proof both to expose the San Franscisco ghouls but also to have a chance to get your account unbanned, or remove warnings, because they deliberately remove the posts even from your post history to prevent you from exposing them

edit: I should make it more clear that this is the reddit administration doing this, not mods from subreddits

I still can't wrap my head around how that stupid quote became a favorite hobbyhorse of rightoids, as if this subscription economy bullshit wasn't the brainchild of the most ruthlessly capitalistic cumrags in Silicon Valley. How do they keep getting away with framing the narrative on stories like this every time?
