debating the meaning of DoD funded Marvel slop is meaningless and worthless tho
you DO mean that you think most of these people would be doing other jobs if there were options in their form of skilled labor? Because if so I completely agree with that, there’s literally no options available other than that for them yes this is exactly what I mean
What you’re left with is practically multiple generation’s worth of humanities students, philosophers, social scientists, media critics, media designers and theorists, and other extremely important jobs, with absolute no way to make money from these passions as well as skills without turning to platforms such as YouTube which don’t have a direct hiring process or strict employment limit. With the animator layoffs that have happened and all the shows that have been just outright cut out of streaming services I imagine this issue is just getting worse.
you said it better than me comrade
This isn’t me saying video essays are bad, it’s me saying the fact that so many are making them, that our youth are spending their most productive years making “content”, it is a sign of ill-managed labor resources. It’s systemic. I support a few creators on youtube, I watch this type of content. Yet I know for a fact that a lot of it only exists because of this labor mismanagement. We are living in an ecological collapse and you’re telling me the most productive work to be done is a 12 hour video essay on TES?

i think ppl who say things like “once conditions are bad enough, we’ll start party rockin’” is unaware of things like hierarchy of needs or how bad things used to be historically (in the us)

Wait he’s still president? I thought Kamala was president now??
I have tried to try a response to this and it always ends up being about 4 paragraphs too many. We’ll just have to agree to disagree.
I think electoralism inherently devalues our position while allowing easy narrative cooptation by the system.
the average american does not give a ratfuck about electoral politics and is already convinced the system is broken and against them.
“Socialism is on the ballot!!” cringe
