One of the weirdest things about 21st century politics is that the left supports corporations and consumerism and the right is the one concerned about it.

I also don’t see this. The internet “right” is so fucking far from what Corporations actually lobby republicans to carry out policy-wise its absurd. I guarantee Mitch fucking McConnell doesn’t give a rats ass about PJW-tier degeneracy; he cares about the oil lobby, big pharma, and big tech.

Failure to grasp nuance. Look at Josh Hawley and Marco Rubio. Trumpism is a movement that came to power before its goals had been precisely articulated. You are seeing the institution-building in real time. You think movement conservatism has always been perched comfortably in its Heritage and Cato offices?

If you’re trying to argue that populist anti-consumerism as a sentiment is tied to conservatism, then that’s literally nothing new. The practices of the common man have always had conservative foundations - the peasant revolts against the “liberal” enclosure movement of the 1600s immediately come to mind.

When I see people actively calling for large scale legislation limiting corporate power on conservative grounds, I’ll buy into your narrative that this association is gaining mainstream steam. Until then, “gubbament bad market good” conservatives seem (imo) to be the prevailing brand.

I´m not even a mutt to know all of the names you listed. But the point remains that capitalism (for which majority of right wing shilled during the last 70 years) prides itself first and foremost in the so called Economy, aka providing fancy material goods and services for people to consume. The left, which for the last 70 years focused on fighting capitalism then copes with this fact by attacking the material wellbeing as Soul draining/nature-damaging/alienating/unsustainable/atomizing/dehumanizing or whatever. It´s really simple politics.

Even here if you try attacking capitalism the first response you get is that capitalism managed to provide more and better goods and services; and that socialists don´t understand "basic economy".

You know what I don´t understand about this youtuber face? Are those emotions real or are they just faking as not to appear depressed? It seems like some sort of manufactured excitement created by both the marketeers marketing their products and those depressed men trying to pretend that they are sociable by displaying strong positive emotions.

My point is that conservatism, at least in the United States, is not a monolith and that there are new voices at the table now. They are not predominant, but they are where the electorate is and they were able to capture the party and nominate a president that sympathizes with their aims. The fact that Tucker Carlson is able to air these laschian sentiments on Fox News should at least clue you into the fact that things are shifting, albeit gradually.

>is not a monolith, but they are not predominant
Here you go. If you say "The Right", people assume you mean those that are predominat on the right. Sure there will be some anti-consumerists on the right, but predominantly The Right will be a force for consumerism as long as Angloids keep dominating the globe.

Also correct me if I´m wrong, but it seems to me that the right wing anti-consumerists on the right tend to care more about the aesthetics of it rather than the entire substance. Like if you switch modern soiboi for 1950s American ad where the gender roles and race are the way they should be, then majority of them will forgot that there were any problems with consumerism at all. Look at the non-aesthetic aspects of anti-consumerism, how many of these people are calling global warming a hoax, how many of them protest closing shops because of corona, how many of them want to abolish industrial farming? What policies do they have apart from blocking off Chinese exports?

Both are anti corporate nominally but neither are truly against it in real life. Even poltards hopped on the Joker bandwagon when it even vaguely hinted at agreeing with them on something. Most right wingers I know are happy to burn their money in the name of corporations if you told them it would "own the libs".

Also is Society of Spectacle good or is it just a meme /pol/ tier book?

>During World War II, Marcuse first worked for the US Office of War Information (OWI) on anti-Nazi propaganda projects. In 1943, he transferred to the Research and Analysis Branch of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency.
>After the dissolution of the OSS in 1945, Marcuse was employed by the US Department of State as head of the Central European section, retiring after the death of his first wife in 1951.

I´m not even making a point about it being right or wrong, I´m making a point about it being a real policy with real consequences restricting consumerism in favour of "noble pursuit" of ecology. As opposed to mere judgemental rhetoric.

>to enslave humanity
retard alert tbeh, there´s no universal category of "slaves" and "slavers". There´s a clash between Chinks, Mutts, Russians and other particular nations fighting for power.
