    Claiming that attempting to appeal to the “masses” is the same as aiming for the “lowest common denominator” is extremely elitist.

    In the example of SheevTalks, he deconstructs and analyzes corporatized nerd properties like Star Wars, but there’s an underlying understanding that the failure of modern nerd works is that capitalism is inherently incapable of producing artistic works without turning said works into lowest common denominator commodities.

    There is zero difference between this and Nietszche’s criticism of culture/art and modern society.

    I was in a similar situation. I’m not sure how it works in Florida or that even such social nets even exist there. But my life only truly began when I was set up in a program for housing and welfare. It was unfortunately me suffering a psychosis and then ending up in jail for a year for all this to happen. That’s where I got an official schizophrenia diagnosis.

    So, you would need to get help from the state through its healthcare programs (if possible). It seems one of your struggles is a mental struggle. I never got along well with my family due to one trauma caused and ignored by them during childhood. (I have plenty of other trauma outside my family). But only when I got my own place did my life get better, and that hope of living a meaningful life settled in gradually. It is the stability of our surroundings that creates the foundation for the stability of the mind.

    Fight for disability benefits that you deserve. There is no shame being on welfare. There is no shame in being disabled. The shame ought to be reserved for those who condone social murder.

    You claimed fascism was a method. As if fabricated in a lab of Elon Musk, only to then consciously unleash racist ideology on the population. Americans and the West, are racist, not simply because of a racism made in a lab with the intentions of brainwashing citizens, but rather because of a complex historical process that grew alongside capitalism.

    Imperialism abroad is analogous to fascism at home. When imperialism is no longer functioning properly as a process of extracting super profits, fascism at home intensifies. When the ruling class applies a victimization habitually reserved for people of colonial origins to white people, that’s what most refer to as fascism. However, the fascism affecting whites was always in the USA against ethnic minorities.

    Settler colonialism birthed imperialism and fascism, which are essentially twins in a dialectical relationship.

    Well, obviously, the bourgeoisie’s schools are not going to teach children that fascism is inherent to capitalism. It is to be expected that the capitalists will not provide the youth with a thorough understanding of political economics.

    There is absolutely no analysis that fascism is a method to re-entrench the power of capital while distracting the masses away from fighting the capitalists to killing minorities instead.

    When settler colonists enslaved black people and killed the indigenous populations of America, they were simply “distracting the masses?” Is fascism a method or a historical process that developed alongside capitalism?

    Are the zionists liberals in the occupation of Palestinian lands simply “distracting the masses” from fighting the capitalists in the regime? I would think the so-called masses are benefiting from the killings of Palestinians and expropriation of their lands.

    This is why US liberals have very wishy-washy definitions of fascism, because they focus only on the symptoms and not the root causes that define fascism.

    The root cause of fascism is the exploitation of labor and expropriation of land. Both have been justified and aggravated by racism, then and now.
