Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[Spadge Vernacular]

You can’t call deadnaming and toxic masculinity buzzwords and then throw out terms like reactionary modernism. Also Saying someone can be as bigoted and derogatory as they like with impunity is a bit of a wild take.

Yeah, I probably am quite reactionary. My entire adult life has been lived under consecutive Tory governments which I have watched look out for their rich cronies while driving the working class further and further into poverty, highlighted by the fact in 2009 there were an estimated 25,000 people living in the UK who needed to use food banks, and that number is now 2,500,000. so forgive me for actually reading Marx and Engel’s work and making up my mind that the society they envisioned sounds a damn sight better than the brutality that the free market has inflicted on the working class across the globe.

You need to get out more.

HIP Jebus, ok? try and keep your focus on the word hip. comprendy? savvy? i don`t really mind schooling you @Jebus_lives but it gets kind of boring after a bit
marxist= 19 century - not hip.
liberal = old as the hills -not hip.
totalitarian = old as the hills- not hip.
--------------------------------------------
deadname=hip.
toxic masculinity = hip
haters gonna hate = not sure how recent but quite apt in this context whadaya say @Jebus_lives

Oh I didn't realise you were using the words individually...let me try it.

Dead = middle English
Name = old English
Toxic = from the Latin Toxicus - Latin so it's mega old innit.
Masculinity = Parlez-vous Français? Oui, je suis très vieux

Capeesh?

reactionary modernism isn`t a hip modern buzzword. do yourself a favour, look it up and just see what you`re advocating.
spare me your bleeding heart, who hasn`t lived under the yoke. we`ve lived under tyranny for countless generations with our communities destroyed without recourse and its still happening now, so don`t kid yourself i`m not aware of the plight of peasants like me.
Marx and Engels are a joke and their ideology killed countless millions of working people (educate yourself about Stalin) their ideas were rejected when the working classes opted for capitalism instead. `cultural Marxism` was developed as an alternative to an overtly communist system that had been rumbled.

Bear in mind, while you're educating everyone- Stalin was not Marxist he was Stalinist; that really should be obvious.

Anyone who uses the term "cultural Marxism" unironically is an imbecile.

bear in mind while your lecturing me that i was having a discussion with Chester..........btw you actually do need educating, i know its a bind but if you stick your oar in you`ll have to accept being schooled, so.... Stalin was a Marxist/Leninist.
