Epstein and Maxwell manipulated 4chan and Reddit respectively in order to fuel both sides of the "culture wars". Now they're fueling it once again in order to distract from the revelations that were in the files.

>>2683726The US advanced industrial capitalist labor system was structured around racial segregation from the start. The labor caste in the US is structuraly segmented into sectors that are majority black, majority white, majority "immigrant", etc… This is a division that has been deliberately maintained and managed for the benefit of the capitalist class. From the post-Civil War Black Codes that bound freedmen to agrarian peonage, to the explicit exclusion of Black and immigrant workers from the emerging craft unions and the New Deal’s protective legislation, the ruling class has consistently used racial and national divisions to create a reserve army of labor that is both exploitable and politically divided. Awakening class-consciousness would require a disruption to the very labor aristocracy that has been a core beneficiary of this segmented system.
>>2683726we hate each other too much, and the rest of the world hates us too so we fear the collapse of our imperialism because we know it finally means that troops will come home, oppress us instead of everyone else, and then the rest of the world will use the opportunity to take revenge on us. we're cowards who deserve to die painfully. but we won't.

The verb someone like Althrusser would use would be that they're *interpellated* into it, rather than 'falling' for it. Culture wars function as a displacement of political-economic contradictions onto the ideological terrain. They are not mere conflicts over values, but a regulated struggle within and between ideological state apparatuses (such as education, media, and family) which are themselves the sites of class struggle. The dominant ideology does not operate monolithically; it must constantly negotiate and re-secure its hegemony by managing dissent. This management is performed by fracturing the populace into competing subject positions (e.g., "traditional" vs. "progressive") through interpellation. This process recodes latent class antagonism into moral and symbolic conflicts, thereby fragmenting potential class unity into polarized identities. The intense investment in these symbolic battles misrecognizes the material basis of social relations, as the ideological state apparatuses reconfigure the conflict to serve the reproduction of the existing relations of production. Thus, the "war" is a spectacle within ideology, which absorbs and contains resistance by making ideology itself appear as the primary site of struggle, thereby obscuring the fundamentally economic nature of state power and class domination.

>>2746675In the prelude to the Iraq War there were a lot of anti-war protests, and that was in the height of the post 9/11 era, with a much better economy and much stronger patriotic and anti-muslim/anti-terror sentiment. I wonder why the gringos are so much more sedated and compliant nowadays.
>>2746684That would be correct if yhey followed it to it's debord-ian conclusion : punish that 1% as a sacrificial lamb to appease the people.
But no, what they're showing is resignation : "what are you gonna do about it ?"
In that sense it does not actually do that at all, it just shows how the entire class is united together and thus can only recieve collective punishment
