Thread reminds me: was listening to podcast recently where they described how liberal global order democracies a place. Each country added to the global liberal hegemony must have a ruling class loyal to money power and population must not oppose them. https://twitter.com/taraannthieke/status/1249844428812017664">https://twitter.com/taraannth...

It mirrors the process in our own country, the local traditions of a place are stripped away. Religion, sexual mores, family structure, anything that could possibly produce a competing loyalty to consuming. All of that must go.

Is it a “conspiracy”? Well, it depends what you mean. Are there a couple dozen guys in a backroom (or grove) dictating this process? No, not really. But there absolutely are many people conscious of the desacralizing and demystifying and atomizing cultural disruption at hand.

Media and entertainment are absolutely a part of the conditioning that goes on. It is hard to know precisely how much of this is conscious. Almost certainly more than we are willing to admit.

Mammon-worshipping liberal hegemony has controlled your imagination since your infancy.

I have said many times before “the left can’t meme” because they do not have to. The entire mindspace of the nearly the whole population is memed from birth to death by media and entertainment that serves the ends of global capital to one degree or another.
