Probably helped, but the media and its masters did spearhead this shift. It's doesn't matter that you are getting poorer every year as long as you support BLM and belong to the right side of the progressive history.

And an economic crash from which median disposable income has not recovered.
The bigger change came in 2000-2002 though. The creation of the Euro, the Chinese spy plane incident, the international reactions to the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, where almost none of the developed world took the USA's side. In the ten years after the fall of the Soviet Union the rest of the world except Australia became comfortable with challenging the USA on everything that matters, and in 2000-2002 the American political system realised that that was the case and gradually tried to understand it.

From 1990 to the present day the amount of people a journalistic enterprise has required had constantly declined. Fax, email, phone video sent over twitter and youtube etc, each of these has meant that any general news agency can produce the same volume of content with less people, with the decline in quality being slow enough that the public don't notice.

>>15714021
>Even the "class war" doesn't affect their profits.
But it does, just examine the history of American or European labor movements and see that collective bargaining, unions and violence did force captialists to soften their approach, at least temporarily. Unfortenately America has basically turned into a wagieland again.
I'm sure the people with power and wealth understand this and they play the old divide-and-conquer cards again. And it will probably work on muricans again too.

All it requires is pic related. 'All lives matter' is sufficient grounds to get fired.

You can't even raise counter-arguments. 'All police are racist, it's fundamentally racist to suggest that blacks are more violent.' Repeat for every inequality.

Europe, even pre-covid, has become more isolationist than the USA. They have plenty of internal movement but the aim has been to run a cultural firewall from the straits of Gibraltar to the Dardanelles and up to the gulf of Finland, fron which everything is exported and nothing is imported except raw commodities.
They do this mostly because of their own version of China's 4-2-1 problem; if you're in that situation the only way you can make enough money to buy what you can't produce internally is by having way more exports than imports; this applies to commodities, finished goods and culture. It doesn't even have to be a dictatorial edict; if you as a business or person go against the tide you go bankrupt.

>>15714047
The big problem here: "class war" takes actual effort and thought, the identity war can be fought from your sofa, with no evident contradictions. Any cause that takes any actual personal investments isn't going to take off anytime this century. Not in the West, at least.

Imagine thinking journalism is something worth supporting.

>>15714127
Enjoy total disinfo dystopia without a chance to ever read anything substantial about the world at large. If no one bothers to investigate anything thoroughly, you will get goons like Hunter S Thompson running around and spreading casual observations about the surface level stuff.

Even when they uncover things like Panama Papers, they get bombed or hide in embassies while social networks slander them.

>These people call themselves after "the day" (Journalister). It seems to me they could better be named after *the night.* Therefore, since journalist is a foreign word anyway, I propose they be called "night-carriers," " night-garbage-carriers." I do not think the word nearly as well fits the sanitation department workers for whom it is used. But journalists are really night-garbage-carriers. They do not carry the trash *away* at night, which is both a noble task and a good work; no, they carry the trash *in* during the day, or to describe it more accurately they spread night, darkness, confusion over men -- in short, they are night-carriers.

Shitty for a philosopher to use such generalizations. Then again, he's the forefather of the psychobabble we're examining in this thread.

What the fuck is this, daycare? There are professional people in this world, doing responsible jobs rather than relativizing everything on message boards. Fuck off retard.

Most of the Chapos are anti-woke, their own fanbase hates them for it.

Basically everyone goes to college to become wise and be able to lecture people about Life.

>>15714175
They are the corporate equivalent of blogs. There are many blogs more reputable, honest, and better sourced than half the shit mainstream media shits out. In fact, mainstream media routinely publishes plain lies and only quietly rescinds them when called out (the damage, their monopoly on media, already gone through). Journalists are the elite frontmen and I wouldn't be surprised if half of them are actual sociopaths.

Btw most news outlets are just remarketed versions of a core write up. So there's little to no diversity.

No, they think Afro-Americans with a family background in slavery have a black/Black culture. They're assuming that black New Orleanians and black New York share a unifying culture (in which there is at least some truth). They're implying whites have no unifying culture or else they would capitalize it (which is not completely wrong). They're confusing black Americans as Afro-Americans by calling Afro-American culture Black culture (which is a bit misleading). In conclusion, it's confusing rather than useful.

>>15714421
Let's be real, the capital B has nothing to do with their justifications, it's just to make 'Blacks' feel better than 'whites'. It's petty aggrandisement and a cementing of the new social order.

You can. See Talcum X and Dolezal.

>>15714498
people still think talcum x is at least biracial and dolezal was widely ridiculed and memoryholed

>>15714421
I've understood they meant that whites -- Germans, French, etc. -- all have different cultural experiences, etc. Blacks, of course, only one have cultural experience.

That's just what I gleaned. I still find it remarkably stupid reasoning for capitalizing/not capitalizing a letter.

>>15714095
Holy shit is this racist or what, they're literally saying all niggers are the same. Complete cultural erasure, not even niggers deserve this.

Analysis of the words used:

Around 80% of words on this list are literally not real.

>Misogyn, Mansplaining, Racism, Non binary, abelism, cultural appropriation, intersectionality, safe space, etc

A small amount of words are real, but only as a lifestyle.

>kkk, transgender, feminism, etc

Some of the other words are real, but so abstract that they hold no good concrete meaning and hold no meaning outside of context.

>offensive, hateful, subjugation, insult, bullied. etc

Words that describe real and concrete objects

>All words in the bottom row except war and duties.

So what we are dealing here is language gone insane.

What's the spike in "anti-semitism" in the '80s? The Lebanon war?

>>15714293
Zoomers are the 4th generation of the baby boomer dynasty. A subpopulation founded mostly by the criminals and illiterates who replaced the first round of military personnel to die in WWII.

Because their lives revolved around the military, their solution to every single problem was to follow the crowd and spend tax money until it went away temporarily. Since they occupied the majority of influential jobs, they created a selective environment that encouraged this behavior and multiplied their numbers.

Now in the Zoomers we have a species that's almost incapable of taking responsibility or having an independent ("antisocial") thought. The punch line is that their behavior has delayed their reproductive age until they're nearly in the same age group as non-baby-boomers. I'm not sure how this is going to affect them but it definitely has given them an unwelcome education.

>Are we in the midst of a language shift?
We literally always are, this is not how languages work, new vocabulary is always going to rise, sometimes unique to certain social groups, and some vocabulary will inevitably die.
The rise in use lf these terms sure, marks a change in how people speak, but if you want to meaningfully understand these changes you should not ask yourself if language is changing (a meaningless question) but why specifically have those terms rised in use and by who are they used.
>>15714678
>Around 80% of words on this list are literally not real.
Not how it works either. All of the terms you wrote are real words. Just by the fact that they are in use by speakers they are real. You might think this is some pomo shit but this is accepted since at least the 16th century. Your "analysis" is a meaningless way of examining the issue.

But literally nothing the second anon said is useful. I get what he is trying to get at but doing so by dividing "real" from not "real" words is retarded. A critique of "progressive discourse" is necessary but doing it that way does not help in doing it.

>>15717445
they 100% are meme words though, they don't actually mean anything, they're just used as sticks to hit people

>>15717453
I agree they became mostly meaningless terms specially when they became widely used, but they are still real words desu. They still serve a function which is why labeling as false words is useless, by doing so you just refuse in trying to understand how and why they are used.

>>15713995
this. why is no one writing about this?

I am a fool, so do not mind my claims.

When such a considerably complex foundation that we know as digital communication is brought out, we experience effects and aftershocks that are quite irregular. For instance, the degree of personal considerations, of those who bear certain wrongs brought against them, are now directly tied to the structure of political dialogue. This should be entirely expected, as the perceiver who loosely brings himself to the research of ideology is met with an array of identities, all of which share different levels of sophistication (in my opinion, the large extent of these individuals are of a lower quality). As OP's picture outlines the inevitably personal realm of thought that is tied to contemporary political conditions, though the term "conditions" is slightly inaccurate, as the problems in front of us affect and influence nothing of importance, we can now understand the consequences from the digital medium: a stagnant situation of ultrasociality without any direct intervention from higher or lower classes; citizens chasing a carrot on a stick, except there has never been a carrot or a stick.


If you are able to imagine the analysis of Adorno and other Frankfurt types of psychic life under capitalism, then you can likewise consider this as its direct extension --- systems of thought or rational development perverted through the pervasive web of influences that stunts the growth of political practice. Through the interjections of those who are neither willful enough to introduce the ends of political change, nor knowledgeable enough to influence others to act in this vein, the thoughtful and rigorous development of ideologies that have traditionally grown in history are now reduced to instantaneous sensations of what is deemed morally wrong, and never built into a cohesive form beyond those opinions.
