/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

How did Tumblr come to become so insanely influential in almost every social sphere? From scenes being taken over and only really enforcing "gatekeeping" based on Tumblrs values, to Social Academia and Universities enforcing Tumblr standards on students and staff and even the funding of research, to middle management forcing proles to sit through eye rolling incoherent Tumblr course nonsense, to Pop culture largely adapting entirely to Tumblr values and IP's one after the other being turned to only really appeal to Tumblr standards, to even gigagiant evil corpos like Blackrock enforcing Tumblr nonsense through many of their funding. The left itself has largely been taken over and had it's social values and political values rewritten to place primacy on Tumblr's takes on identity, you have actual politicians running for offices that sound like a 14 year old on Tumblr in 2014.
As someone who has been pretty familiar with Tumblr trends since the late 2000s it's been wild watching often what were trends and theories that were created by teenagers, get taken out of that context, to become mass political liberal/left establishment and middle management/academia talking points. It's also been very wild watching massive franchises, just get run roughshod over with Tumblr to the point that is actually obnoxious (WotC, DnD, Star Trek, Star Wars etc).
How did Tumblr do this? Reddit is technically a bigger site but has nowhere near this influence, 4chan was a bigger site back in the day, and again, not this influence at all. So how is it that I'm watching Politicians and business leaders, spout crap that was the domain of confused larping scene kids on Tumblr a decade ago?

I’m honestly curious to know what exactly makes the PMC (university professors, doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, artists, those types of people) adhere to the belief system they do. Namely, the psychology behind what’s often termed as “petit-bourgeois radicalism.”

I recently read through two of Caleb Maupin’s books (The American Years of Lead and the one on Trotsky and the Neocons). Maupin asserts that intellectual elites (PMC) are heavily into salon culture and edgy things that have aristocratic connotations. For instance, intellectual elites (PMC) are the ones who hold an overly-romantic view of revolution and romanticize terrorism and political violence. They’re the ones that conjure up images of a big apocalyptic revolution similar to the Christian rapture whereby every little aspect of the existing society is destroyed. He also heavily emphasized that the PMC hates the genuine working/class, because they see them as a threat to their power, so they deliberately manipulate working-class movements in order to offset and eventually dissolve them. Plus, they love sexual promiscuity and use “leftism” in order to promote it.

Last night, I watched a video on Sublation Media between Doug Alain and Chris Cutrone. Cutrone made the point that the PMC romanticize terrorism, mass destruction involving killing and raping, and the “noble death” because the PMC are “gangsters.” Not gangsters the way the ultra-rich capitalists are, but gangsters nonetheless.

My understanding is, intellectual elites love these things like violence and terror for the exact same reason they love modern “art” like Jackson Pollock and jazz and rap “music”: it’s all deeply irrational. They reject historical progress, favour the lumpen and those on the margins of society over the genuine proletariat, and promote destruction because they hate rationality. All of the things they promote as “leftism” are actually deeply aristocratic values: it’s the aristocracy that loves violence, sexual indulgence and a rejection of logic and linear time. I see it like this: intellectual elites, being Nietzscheans at heart, hate rationality and linear progress because they see those things as boxes that limit their ability to indulge, but also the fact that they already have their privileged positions and don’t need a proletarian revolution to have their basic needs met. In fact, a proletarian revolution would mean they lose their privileges and end up working in the fields.Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

It's easy to hate the rich, it takes courage to hate poor people. Why do leftists hate men who rise from poverty to the top more than those who are born rich?

Always thought he was underrated. And this quote is great whether he said it or not.

People give him shit because it all collapsed after he died, but then they'll go and act like the USSR was so much better when it collapsed around the very same time. Tito objectively did things wrong, but the USSR did too. Both got ratfucked by the US in the end.

what do you guys think of the red shambala trend on tiktok?
i for one really like it and think its funny but it is kinda copying the whole 'agartha' thing and i think leftist shouldnt just copy whatever the right does

Lets have another pointless discussion thread about these guys, who they were and what they were doing at the time.
I'll start:
>They were CIA pretending to be collaborators who dissapeared soon after…

TOMORROW NOTHING HAPPENS
CHILE ELECTION 2025
<The spectre of nothing is haunting America
The candidate of the communist party who is watering down to appeal to milder socialdemocrats and others is leading the polls. Next to her are 3 rightwingers, all bastard sons of Bolso and Drumpf

Has anyone else been dismayed by how like 99% of the left these days is fanatically pro-Copyright/IP, reporting people for IP "piracy" and whining about Technology finally BTFO'ing terrible Copyright laws?
