"How does everyone feel about the latest executive order stating that only the President and a select panel of advisors can decide which media outlets are 'legitimate' sources of news?"
That doesn't mean you have to agree with him, right? You can still read what u want Other news companies are still allowed to operate, and no one is being shipped to El Salvador, right?
Anyway, easy reportmaxxing

mark fisher predicted the current cultural stagnation and how it would infect people's thinking too: a society where the populace is hyper-judgemental, rigid and rejecting of any true deviance from the norm. but even he probably didn't anticipate just how blind people would be to their own lameness. at the time he talked about how leftist spaces had turned into moralizing purity tests that would suffocate discourse, but this mindset isn't limited to the libs anymore, everyone is in on it now too. the political consists of fake resistance; libs calling people names and nazis (drumpf, elmo), chuds spamming wojaks and pepes like its the 2012 reddit rageface era.
the culture industry isn't exactly new either, but it's impressive how it keeps optimizing itself. the biggest pop culture movement is swifties - the most boring, anti-art, corporatized fandom phenomenon in human history. mediocrity has never been more carefully distilled and refined than in her person. rap, once a supposedly vital genre, is currently making headlines for rappers having small peepees and being addicted to bussy and porn. the best youth culture can come up with is either idolizing already dead millenial culture or mass producing brainrot.
mass culture has been trapped in endless nostalgia loops for years, but even the internet - which used to be a wild, chaotic place - has finally been reduced to either hyper-policed, corporate-moderated mush (reddit dot com) or irony-poisoned wastelands where every conversation either degenerates into the same three wojak memes (ding ding ding, this is where we are right now) or is suffocated by asking of the reader to withhold their habituated responses.
this isn't just stagnation, it's full on social decay. if it took on physical form we could observe the brain worms slowly digesting our frontal lobes. I thought I could deal with cultural stagnation but I honestly didn't expect it would become this authoritarian and that its rulers would be this lame.

Amarna brought this archetype to my attention and I've never noticed it before. Seems like exclusively Millenials or dirtbag left types say "should have been shoved into a locker" or some variation with lockers. 100% drawn from the TV. Turn it off.

Not sure why it's so popular tbh. Trying some pop psych maybe it's peaked-in-high-school adults nostalgically hallucinating a higher status youth. Us vs the nerds. That, "dweeb" as insult and the lunch money thing compose the totally unreal 90s bully media tropes.
This stuff was never done, and the very online don't know it.
