It's ironic that deracinated internet white culture is really the *only* culture in modernity. The fact that it's too subliminal & ubiquitous to notice proves that it alone is real, lived "culture."
Idk if Im just not tapped into real leftist circles, but I'm struck by lefty inability to do self-critique, or retrospectives on their own movement.
"Woke" was obviously a thing, but lefties still act like it's an insult, rather than a discrete cultural phenomenon.
They've even partnered with American hood blacks and are using Mercor's "referal" system to gatekeep, and Teamviewer software to localize to American wages.
Just stumbled upon a crazy scam.
AI companies hire contractor company "Mercor," which ostensibly hires subject matter experts to audit AI output.
The material reality? Infinity Nigerian ethnic mafias running AI browser extensions checking AI output with AI. Search "Mercor" on X.
It's not really 'generations,' but the medium by which different people were socialized and enculturated. Speaking different languages. Totally different values.
It's less useful as a heuristic to talk about "Boomers," "Zoomers" or generations, than to talk cultural cohorts.
The divide is clearly pre-internet (Boomers + Gen-X) / post-internet (Millennials + Zoomers), with slight stage-of-life differences.
@CiaKids Economists say that the distributed food supply in soviet russia, where majority of food was produced by small family gardens (Dacha) was the reason the '91 collapse didn't cause widespread starvation. Systemic resilience by distributing risk.
@oecolamp Every response to this has missed the Economies of Scale point.
Labor, and labor saving machines (ie. muh convenience), should scale under null conditions.
@SyntheticAnima I lucked out that all my college friends were (are) high IQ chads. But we've all moved around.
Besides college there are very few good sorting mechanisms to find these clusters of interesting people. In fact that's the only reason I'm on X is to simulate a quality milleu.
Underrated place to live: enclaves within National Forests/Grasslands.
You can walk out your door and just wander in un-owned space. Many are reasonably close to major metro areas.
@amantdelucy I agree, but, certain sensitive people are still capable of being deeply genuine about love. It requires both a particular kind of soul, and a journey of catabasis ('downwards and through') to experience the evil of modern relationslop, and then wholly reject it.
@hvpvrbvrvv A surprising number of the first jazz musicians were white ethnics (germans, french, italians). The lazy german "ohm-pa" parade baseline is still very recognizable in NOLA jazz.
