    This is a dumb take. The internet definitely has more reach and impact across our cities than we as individuals have.

    People can do work on the ground and waste their free time on the internet arguing with dumb takes just as people can do fuck all in their area and waste their free time on the internet looking at memes.

        If you think the average person cares about or reads academic papers you’re delusional.

        Yes just saying communism good or bad probably won’t change hearts and minds but unchecked pro-capitalist and pro-imperialist messages bombarding consumers of social and mainstream media absolutely portrays the status quo as the only acceptable scenario with no alternatives.

        If you think anticapitalist memes haven’t radicalised people then you are naive to the effects of propaganda.

        I give you jrehwald15 as a good example of this
