And you sound like someone who would rather belittle someone than consider a difficult truth

thanks for this comfy thread op, i learned this myself recently from a professor (even tho I don't write anywhere close to every day lol) and it really helped me since I struggled with your exact problem. i want to ask you who that old youtube guy is but I feel like we'd ruin his life or something

>What we're going to be left with, and what's happening now, is that people will filter off into being a member of this homogenous, flattened culture or they will become misanthropic and xenophobic.

why not both? we are going to get more cases of psychotic hipster nazis as the californization of the world accelerates. californization. a good descriptor isn't it? whole foods/amazon, apple, starbucks, microbrews, rainbow capitalism, sanitized pseudo organic fixtures, cybernetic panopticon hell, algorithm optimised mind control, what noted mexican cultural critic Carles decried as 'contemporary conformism', Lasch's culture of narcissism, ESALEN institute-derived regimes of emotional discipline(doesn't the very name ALEXA call to mind old ELIZA? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84QouA9Sm4E)) nihilistic inter-passivity, it all comes in one universal package.

>Every time I get worked up over this, about how manufactured and homogenous it all seems, I realize it's hard to see what the actual alternative would be. Because every town will change, this is the nature of modernity. If the flattened liberal culture doesn't come in, what will be there?

i just don't know. as everything becomes more homogenous, the absolute rupture represented by baudrillardian terror/ revolution liberated from all christian socialist eschatology will become more evident. giving yourself schizophrenia to own the libs suddenly seems like an eminently reasonable idea. it's no longer a question of left vs right, but one of the atlanticist antichrist versus its enemies(see Alexander Dugin). wwiii is a guerrilla information war with no distinction between civilian and military participation. subcultural fringes, rural backwaters, the 3rd world periphery, will become fertile breeding grounds for insurrectionary nomadic assemblages ready to strike out at the imperial core and its mechanisms of technosocial homogenisation. jam the signal. kick those feedback loops into overdrive. someday, I'll take you to disneyland...

>But even here on 4chan everything genuine is torn down with ridicule and bitterness
It's very hard to treat it in any different way especially when it amounts to "we live in a society" tier banalities like your post.
