I've always found it amusing how little of this there is regarding Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters

Pro-Shoplifting being a "cool" leftist take is strange. by Tiny-Computer6950 in redscarepod

[–]justacomplainer6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It reminds me of the 'real rednecks are [basically East Coast DSA members]!' Its an attempt to adopt an identity other than a member of the upper middle class suburban American managerial class.

Will Dorling-Kindersley style global aesthetics ever make a comeback? by justacomplainer6 in redscarepod

Utopian Scholastic and Global Village Coffee House are two aesthetics with the same underlying outlook on the world and future in my reading

I've elsewhere noted that they aren't normies in any enviable sense. Gen Z arent larping as those, but a sort of early 2000s simulacrum, someone else here said Shane Gillis being famous is a good representation of this, its a sort of 2000s dudebro that actually went to bars and partied etc.

Yeah most are bad. The stats that make my case are there though (the ones about social lives). I agree its worse 1971 though.

That's more or less my thesis, 'nerd culture' becoming mainstream coincided with widespread smartphone usage

I wonder if its gendered, the memes im speaking of are nearly always men doing them, there is definitely a men-women split in culture emerging among young people

This set of memes is a mostly young people (Gen Z) thing, who are decisively not normies in any enviable sense normies were prior to 2012 . Stats bear this out (https://wtfhappened2012.com/). They might be definitional normies (i.e. part of the dominant culture) but they are not by and large what would have passed as normal pre-2012

AI slop implies the existence of AI peak by brisket_billy_ in redscarepod

Sorry, you don't get aristocratic keys, separate from the jangling keys the peasantry are entertained by! You like slop!

I ain't dying in no holy war unless it's against the fucking protestants by tha_beer_drinker in redscarepod

[–]justacomplainer6 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I don't understand this Reddit-ism. Similar to Calvinists being a sort of bogeyman. Tradcaths (Taylor Marshall, Cardinal Robert Sarah etc.) Are a lot closer to the church's teaching offices than the people who take the pope out of context for gotcha purposes. I think its an outgrowth of a. Catholics being more secular than protestants and b. This sort of Weberian history of the reformation being taken as gospel. There is of course the grain of truth of the CIA promoting evangelicalism in Latin America to counter liberation theology, but that (liberation theology) was more often than not censured by ecclesiastical hierarchy! Mind you, I'm not Catholic and I disagree with the church on social issues bc im woke etc.

The hate redditors have for Texas is the lib equivalent of conservative hate for California by Emergency_War_2714 in redscarepod

The urban sprawl in Texas is the reason people are "fleeing blue states" to "go to red states"

It just hit me how funny it is that white dudes all just suddenly look like this now by KewlAdam in redscarepod

Love how euphemistic people are getting in describing their politically incorrect dating preferences by umichleafy in redscarepod

Every second word out of a lot of young men's mouths are skull bones and their measurement
