♦ Critical Theory arose when Marxism failed in the West:
“When the “inevitable” socialist revolution predicted by orthodox Marxism failed to materialize in the early twentieth century in Western Europe, Gramsci examined the role that culture played in securing the power of the ruling class.”
“ He saw that the dominant ideas of a society are not only embedded in its political institutions, but also in its social institutions, or “civil society”—institutions such as the church, school, factory, trade union, or library.”
♦ The ruling class naturalize certain concepts and ideas:
“Through the consistent reiteration of dominant concepts and narratives, the principals naturalize certain concepts and ideas. Subalterns then assume that the options presented to them are the only options possible.”
“It is through this iterative process that principals—in Gramsci’s argument the ruling class—secure the consent of subalterns—in this case the working class.”
“For Gramsci, the interests of the subaltern lie in organizing collectively in opposition to the power of capital.”
“However, hegemony restricts individuals from the working class to a set of paths (or perceived paths) that better their individual lot only within the framework of the capitalist order.”
♦ Librarians can act against Capitalist Hegemony using Gramscian Methods of Analyis:
“If the domination of one group is secured through the production of ideology in the civil society of liberal democracy, it presents LIS and information literacy practitioners with many issues to consider.”
Raber (2003) posits that, by using Gramscian methods of analysis, librarians may be seen as organic intellectuals and participants in what Gramsci called a war of position.”
“For Raber, libraries and librarians have the ability to act in counter-hegemonic ways. Gramsci’s "work suggests that librarians might manifest a contradictory theoretical consciousness".”
@TranquilityRC1 Hey Nick Shirley, do you think it's only hospice centers, this is in a residential area zoned for horses. @nickshirleyy Also there is a plethora of Pharmacies magically appearing. Since your Los Angeles hospice story, they have a backup plan!
Lords of the Fallen is getting a brand new combat feature never before seen in a soulslike. It works across all enemies, including bosses.

New Elden Ring cut content video!
Early in development, a cutscene existed that would have shown Miquella planting the Haligtree, even long before the DLC was announced. You can see it, and some information about it, in this video I made: https://t.co/5gc4cgaAWF

Whiteness = Capitalism
These values uphold Capitalism. The book this poster is based on says as much:
"The power elite constructed (and continues to construct) white supremacy to serve capitalism..."
"White supremacy culture is the widespread ideology baked into the beliefs, values, norms, and standards of our groups (many if not most of them), our communities, our towns, our states, our nation, teaching us both overtly and covertly that whiteness holds value, whiteness is value."
"The original list of white supremacy characteristics is really a list that defines and expresses white middle and owning class values and norms."
"White middle- and owning-class power brokers embody these characteristics as a way of defining what is "normal" and even "aspirational" or desired – the way we should all want to be."
