The quintessential representation of shallow consumerism, of the shallow consumerism that especially presides among upper middle class whites. The privileged shallowness of so called men who hate on anything socially progressive as a destruction of everything they hold dear because all that’s left for them to identify with is the shallow commercialism of their past, they have nothing to fight for except those toys and games and old cartoons and comics. They’re libertarian because they’re privileged because confronting the reality of class and oppression is too uncomfortable for these reactionaries, their safe space is video games and old movies and old cartoons, it’s sad, and they represent a gateway to political apathy and atrophy that will lead young impressionable kids to also look for comfort in shallow consumerism and not look to the future to forge something better for everyone.

These youtubers stifle political awareness if not lead impressionable kids down the dark road of radicalization. These youtubers represent everything wrong with the apathetic and political atrophy of the first world. Just consume everything don’t think about the stagnated wages, about the global exploitation of the third world by the first world don’t think about the systemic issues of your own country because your country is the most “free” look at all the video games and cartoons we have, buy the latest iPhone.

    As annoying as these types really are, we have to remember that first worlders, who live in luxury and idleness just playing video games all damn day, are not only not the majority of the world… they also sit on the sidelines, and won’t play any role in the struggles to come.

    Class struggle continues, if some are living in luxury, it means that as many more are not, and most workers of the world are completely unreceptive to this libertarian empire-posting and whining about boob jiggle physics being taken out of video games. Even if they manage to convince a few “on-the-fence” first-worlders to become alt-right, its insignificant, as they are people whose material conditions and life circumstances make joining the class struggle more of a choice than a necessity anyway.

    They’ll continue believing whatever they want to believe, play no part in anything important, and fade into obscurity as the west eats itself.
