Social media demands a surface level expertise of everything and actual expertise in nothing - ‘I’ve never seen American psycho but I can give many reasons, told to me by strangers online, for why people who do like it are bad vibes’
Its anti-intellectual, moralistic shite
The idea that your morality is somehow linked to the media you consume/enjoy is utterly braindead and also everywhere this generation. Everything has to be surface level and explicit to avoid some potential dumb fuck on tiktok misinterpreting and mischaracterising obvious themes
Like yeah I’m sure reading Lolita means you’re/turns you into a paedophile, what insightful commentary on a book you clearly haven’t read.
What boring fucking books are they reading instead if they’re completely averse to challenging and controversial characters?
Who’d have thought doing 180s on all your promises, squeezing even more out of working ppl, shifting the values and attitudes of your party to the right and incessantly trying to appeal to right wing and centrist ‘grown ups’ would just cause ppl to turn to right wing parties 🤯
