NYC libraries are cutting Sunday service bc they can’t afford to keep the lights on anymore
But you didn’t even mention how they bought a bunch of robots that require an officer to escort anyway!
Like clockwork a celebrity will say something cool and then five yeara from now theyll have a change of heart. None of these people are your friends and even if they are cool now they will slide to liberalism.
Ehh, complicated. Technically most celebrities are much more aligned with the working class than the bourgeois because they are entertainers. They actually do a thing instead of playing make believe with numbers all day. The WGA strike really exposed a lot of the antagonisms between talent and management. But what actually matters here is that normal people, the people we want on our side, listen to celebrities. Obviously Cardi B isn’t going to lead the People’s Liberation Army of America to victory, but the more people who start to understand exactly how they’re being squeezed, the better.

Jiang Qing was an actress tho. I am just saying the Cardi B Cultural Revolution is possible
I know it probably won’t happen, but if we go by the heuristic that only the funniest thing possible can happen, the Cardi B Cultural Revolution is one of the highest probability outcomes of the ever intensifying contradictions.

Maybe that’s the proper marxian analysis, but in practice, the fact that they’re selling their public image means that they’re much more susceptible to the pressures of conformism than almost any other worker. They have the same anxious mindset of the petty bourgeoisie, but (sometimes) without the capital.
Entertainers are businesses and the business they run is their brand image. It’s attached to them personally, but it’s still a business.
This is easier to see in “influencers” like Twitch or Youtube than it is for people to notice in television I think.
They still don’t create their own work though. Their brand gets them a wage job acting. The bosses are still the ones that dictate what work is to be done.
Twitch streamers directly sell their creative works outside of the wage system. I think that puts them more in line with the artisan class than are movie stars

Only the small ones. Every single streamer of any consequential size for us to be talking about living off it also employs video editors, doesn’t pay a team of volunteer moderators, and the larger you go the more people are in their teams as actual employed staff. Their name is the brand and name of a business employing a whole bunch of people that do work for them.
Meaningless unless she tells fans to organize ourselves into socialist political parties and dual power structures and prepare for conflict with state violence.
“I’m not voting,” who cares? Is that what we should care about, whether or not celebrities endorse democrats? I know I’m speaking to the choir but this has never mattered less
It’s not his fault though. If you could sack your president and elect a new one tomorrow, the new one would do the same. Your electoral system ensures it. You need electoral reform to have a chance of fixing anything.
The President is always conveniently powerless when he’s doing terrible things. His hand is forced! What a shame. Alas. Shucks.
October 2024 rolls around: MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF YOUR LIFETIME DEFEAT THE RIGHT WING.
Anyways electoral reform ain’t gonna do shit, only revolution will solve the problem, which is capitalism. You can attempt (and usually fail) to fiddle with the technocratic dials all you’d like, just like most constitutional amendments did, just like little state level voting reforms did, and guess what: the country will still be dictated by crises of capitalism and its imposed necessities to produce and reproduce the system. Very few of the problems are new. At their core is the dictatorship we put up with for over 1/3 of our days and that creates harsh guard rails on what is possible.
Biden is a particularly cruel captain of the team, but you’re not gonna fix the ship. It needs to be destroyed and utterly changed.
Ok, but have you considered revolution is really hard to do?? I will have to miss brunch
Not sure you realize where you are. We are well aware of the impotence of bourgeois electoralism to enact meaningful change.
Also lmao absolving Biden of responsibility for materially supporting genocide cool.
actually i have no idea where i am! the community is called [ ]. the sidebar sounds like total gibberish. this is a place i don’t understand.
what does this even mean?!
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal. No anti-natilasm posts. See: Eco-fascism Primer Vaush posts go in the_dunk_tank
Basically an instance completely filled with Communists, socialists, and some anarchists. Terminally online ones at that.
(luv u hexbear comrades)
I have to admit that I underestimated this woman. When our brief moment in the zeitgeist ended, I expected her to move on like the rest of our so-called celebrity allies did. I hope she runs for president.
well as the alternatives are in the words of a Biden supporter Mussolini or Hitler yeah fuck it give Cardi B a shot.
