It's recuperation. It will always happen, nothing to be done about it except not lose sight of what really matters.

Oh I actually didn't know the word for this, I appreciate it. It's good to have a word to put to this thing

Okay so I've already read a LOT of reddit... too much really... Does that decade of reading reddit count towards this reading requirement?

All things considered already considered all things. I think it should be worth 2 subreddits.

all jokes aside i like how "leftist" ideas are becoming more mainstream and marketable but i dislike how they're being sold to us
"the boys" and "mr robot" are legitimately some of the best shows and i recommend them, and they have some good messages, anti-capitalist ones at that. but they don't dig very deep and they completely avoid concepts like "unions".
in "the boys", there are in-universe superheroes but also they make superhero movies, and the criticism ends at "haha sometimes superheroes are cringey" and not "hey, these super-expensive films couldn't exist in an ethical economic system", because that would implicate "the boys" irl as well.
