It depends which demographic, zoomers are mostly just scroollers that like TikTok, YouTube and other internet garbage and don't care about anything.

/pol/ isn't representative of the average wage worker, neither are twitter, breadtube, twitch, or this place. most are apathetic to culture war shit and default to prevailing attitudes and are much more concerned with lowering standards of living and worsening work conditions

>>665062 Yep. Scrooolers will probably empathize with half the stuff in /r/latestagecapitalism but not form an identity around it or consider themselves socialist/liberal/etc. because of it.

This is largely a perception shaped by mass media and/or anecdotes. At the end of the day it isn't particularly easy to get a read on "what most people think/are like", but I'd guess if the majority were really raving reactionaries as is often claimed society would look pretty different.

Wagenormie has no coherent ideology. They think predominantly about work, and their relationship to their boss.>Boss is really pushing our team hard this month, but he's pretty cool on casual-dress-and-drink-a-beer-Friday. >Like my new (rented) car? I can't wait to go on holiday to insert-trending-destination-here. >Not sure if I even want those commodities I just said I wanted. My workplace is actually a brutal environment that's wearing me down physically and mentally. >I'm not racist or anything, but we actually moved away from [medium sized city] because there was increasing numbers of brown people. >Have you noticed how migrants always have really nice phones? >I had a mental breakdown at work, but it's my problem. My therapist recommends valium, and I'm learning meditation too. >I donated to charity. Save the children/rainforest/monkeys/manatees or whatever.

>>665057 I think people tend to produce the responses that their environment programs them for. Whether this is a conviction… I don't think so, but to the purveyors of spectacle it's all the same as long as we keep passively consenting. If most of everyone goes through the motions, not doing so becomes the effortful. The most evident reality becomes a thing you need to peer at with conscious effort through all the boilerplate and habits. And little by little we are all made into assburgers hooked to the reassuring unsubtlety of the spectacle.
We may all be enlightened beings, putting an act, surrounded by sheeple, in our heads as the webcomic goes.

>>665062 Especially for zoomers they are highly susceptible to woke propaganda and "celebrating diversity" bullshit. Therefore will distract them from true class politics. Examples include coming up with new genders, pronouns, etc.

No, at best they care passively bit not enough to really impact their politics. The only people who schizophrenically obsses over identity groups are middle class shitheads, both from cultural left and right. These are the people who consume the most media, who most want to be political subjects, and eventually just decend a rabbit hole of insanity.

>>665057 No. Most proles are fucking normies who’re (disinterestedly) social progressives and at the very least moderates. If they have less than charitable attitudes to marginalized groups, they aren’t ones that are held strongly.

>>665057 The average prole dedicates at least some of their time to thinking about their identity, when: 1. they belong to at least one historically persecuted minority identity, and 2. they're not actually bourg: so economically privileged that all they care about is losing their economic privilege
To the average poster here, any concern with one's identity is 'obsession', because they've never had any real need to think about their own identity

>>668249 >any concern with one's identity is 'obsession', because they've never had any real need to think about their own identity The implication is that identity is oppression, something you are being bullied into thinking about.
Can you see how you might be making it worse by making people think more about it

Someone has probably said this but I don't see it as a problem of proles being supposedly reactionary but some leftists wanting to build a movement without social conservatives, aka if you have managed to form a picket line you tell the conservative half it's not welcome and needs to go.
