I still kind of miss when we were all Marxists.

We can all be Marxists again. Let’s not do the thing where they endlessly accuse us of being “cultural Marxists.” I was bored with that trolley-ccusation halfway through typing the term into Google.[quote=“nemomen, post:64, topic:85298”]

The sorts of people who think Habermas, Adorno, and Marcuse secretly control American culture through academia are the sorts of people who never read Habermas, Adorno, or Marcuse, and probably never could make it through a single one of their essays. There’s a reason the idea’s appealing to Glenn Beck, and it’s not intellectual rigor.

If they were only morons, the whole situation would be substantially better.

Intellectual rigor mortis?

@Enkita

Intellectual rigor mortis?

That would imply that Beck’s intellect was ever alive and ambulatory in the first place.

I’d say it’s better than being a cultural reactionary.

I’m going to borrow your praxis, comrade. XD

“The art of the deal” is actually a neo-Marxist critical review of Hegelian dialectic, as those sniffy academics would know if they only read it.

I keep seeing the angry racists who support Trump (must be a significant majority of that cohort) questioning why people call them racist (and sexist, xenophobic, etc).

They could be playing dumb, but I think the narrative of Trump being “right” and “what America needs” is coexisting with a desire not to be labeled as exactly what makes them want Trump.

Something like me protesting:

• “Why are you calling me a glutton just because I eat chocolate cake at every meal?!?”

It’s obvious to all that I’m obsessed with chocolate cake, but I refuse to be identified as an excessive cake-eater…

• now I realize this is exactly like my conversations with alcoholics who “don’t have a problem”

Thanks tortured analogy!
