      Because the solutions to problems they came up with don’t actually solve anything (deporting immigrants to MAGA, for example). So they have to come up with reasons why things aren’t working, but they don’t want to change the actual systems in place. In their minds, capitalism is fine. It’s the women and minorities who are causing capitalism not to work.

      Since they don’t use material analysis, they inevitably end up creating conspiracies and a web of contradictory lies. “Why are movies so shit? It can’t be because studios only invest billions into what appeals to the largest number of people. Clearly it’s because such and such superhero or actor is black/feeeeemale/gay/supports trans rights/whatever boogeyman and if you point this out, you get canceled!”

      Unironically. The least they can do is let us have our identity as victims.

      We lose. That’s literally all we do. Decades after decades of impotent rage and they haven’t even had a scratch on them.

      If I was a chud, I’d be out there partying. Knowing that I never ever ever have to worry about politics. All my views are extremely popular regardless of any study because I’m “cool”. All that mental energy is freed up knowing I will always get what I want because I’m the universe’s special widdle boy.

      they don’t really have culture. both because they’re white, and because it’s still profitable to put women, gay people, and racial minorities in media.

      give it a few years and a few more horny videogames i guess.
