      It's great man, I read it like 4 times at this point. Gets even better when you have an understanding of lacanian psychoanalysis (via zizek)

      @@eoin8450I've been reading about a lot of material that branches out from capitalist realism. Definitely can't wait to get to Lacan

    The memefication of capitalist realism is appropriate to its object. This video leaves me nothing but a few sad giggles. Why of all the books in recent history is it that this is the most attractive to young left-curious people?

      Well, it explains it's arguments utilizing cultural landmarks that have become staples in pop culture. It also deals, explicitly, with a growing feeling of hopelessness that plagues the lives of people, both young and old, while not reducing the problems faced by these groups to a simple "it's all fault of the chemicals in your brain", but presenting them with existing, structural problems that explain the conditions for these problems to arise. It makes one's suffering be less about oneself, and more about the feature of a capitalistic cultural logic.
      Fisher also gives some suggestions on how to "deprogram" oneself from the logic of this culture, which gives people, trough the realization of their own potential in creating and changing cultural forms, a feeling of hopefulness. To put it in simple, memetic terms; it's an anti-doomer book disguising itself as part of doomer literature.

      ​@baldomerian7742 that review piqued my interest as a millennial early Internet, late stage doomer-aboslutionist who has a family and wants to have some means of hope to give to my kids

      @@baldomerian7742 Doesn't help when people point at the wrong problems to attack. There's no reality where capital doesn't exist. Until people can live in that reality and work WITH it instead of against it, there really is no hope for fixing those cultural issues.
