It really bothers me when people say writers like Lasch don’t render their arguments in clear language, with reference to empirical data. There’s more to understanding society than “scientific reasoning”. Lasch has a better, deeper, more substantive method - one that’s also used by Freud, Baudrillard, and Mark Fisher. Instead of using facts, thoroughly scrutinised studies and surveys, and verifiable information, these writers use a much more reliable method - Being big fat fucking idiots who use their imaginations and guess a bunch of shit.

OP clearly has never read Christopher Lasch. OP probably just heard someone whining about Lasch on his favourite, Liberal pretending to be a Socialists, podcast. Liberals hate Lasch and his highlighting of the managerial class.

>>17482724

For anyone who isn't clever enough to "get" this post, Liberls are the bad guys, who do lame, unlikeable things. This is also what the "managerial class" is. If the word "neoliberal" is used later on, that means the same thing.

that isn't how cringe works. cringe is fundamentally ingroup vs outgroup delineation. and why should everyone even know about something as minor and irrelevant as red scare or chapo, let alone find them cringe? that just betrays how much you care about them.

Also worth reading Michael Lind’s The New Class War, published 2020. It is less comprehensive than Lasch, but it is certainly worth a read as it has more modern references. It is a good book to recommend as an introduction to the managerial elite.

Lasch says nothing not implicitly understood and immediately apprehended by direct experience by Gen X onward — the audience is National Review tier anointed token opposition like Ben Shapiro or Anne Coulter, and libertarian adjacent independents like Rober Nozick. He’s a political ‘fudd’ every bit as much as Neo-Cohens like Brzezinski, Fukuyama, et. al. and their ascendant Neo-Lib/Prog/Intersectional Corporate Pozz antipodes

Basically, it's what pseuds say to make themselves feel special. It is the most pretentious pretense imaginable.
Examples:
>Yeah, I'm a sapiosexual so I get a little bit wet looking at pictures of Einstein and Hawkings, lol.
>I like a cerebrally active woman as much as a cute, fit, sexy babe too. So Anna and younger Elizabeth interest me on some level

Again, you're pretending.
Uggos get friend-tier if they are smart enough, otherwise if they're annoying you'd just avoid them.
It really only makes you more attractive if you're already hot/cute (the bitch you posted wasn't btw).
Nobody learns about Andrew Wiles and is like
