Has anyone gotten depressed after investing significant time studying Marxism and other Socialist's works? It has made me extremely, painfully aware that the vast majority of information that people parrot about nearly everything online, is entirely false.

But the more frustrating aspect is that genuinely, they have no excuse for this in the first place. Information is more freely accessible now more than ever, but people aren't looking to actually understand whats happening rather they just want validation as to what they think is happening. This leads to constant mass blobs of misinformation being adopted as actual mainstream ways of thinking that bleeds into every discussion about politics, economics, etc.
MGS/Kojima was right, you give people unfiltered access to as much information as they want, and they completely lose the ability to think critically about anything they observe, and people just begin wallowing in this false reality, completely unaware of who their enemies are and are unwilling to go to the source despite its availability to learn the actual truth of whatever bullshit they're spouting on 4chan, reddit, twitter, etc.

Studying Marx has genuinely improved my ability to analyze and consume information in an appropriate way, but it has also awakened me to the horrors of just how diabolical the spread of misinformation is in the modern age and people's eagerness to swallow up whatever they is accurate based on a mere feeling.

Quite the contrary. Material conditions > ideology. I now care much less about what people think.

>waaaah people aren't as enlightened about this subject as I am.
>We shouldve kept information scarce


Im so sick and tired of this arrogant sentiment pushed by know-it-alls.

Even back in the "good ol days", people semi-consciously misinterpreted information.
Also, concerning economic literature, it's usually based on the respective era it was written.
Also, authors can change their minds over time.

OP's attitude is part of why people look down on intellectuals.

Funnily enough, all the scholastic skills in the world doesn't help people pay bills or know how to cook or clean.

You already got off on the wrong foot, the implication is that I'm aware I'm not a know it all, but that awareness in and of grants me the ability of discernment you piss baby.

Nor should it, but I'm not sure how thats relevant lmao.

Youre being the big piss baby. The world has moved on from leftism.

Those are bigger priorities. People nowadays think being well educated is more important than knowing how to wipe your own ass.
Academic skills ≠ technical skills

Nah

That's centralized social media's fault, and knowing that as an institution is collapsing means more people will take their time to vet their opinions of theory against the actual theory, because they will learn it through actually reading it rather than figuring it out through what wins debates on twitter.
>But the more frustrating aspect is that genuinely, they have no excuse for this in the first place. Information is more freely accessible now more than ever,
It's precisely this that gives me hope for improvement on this front.
>but people aren't looking to actually understand whats happening rather they just want validation as to what they think is happening.
And the platforms that made them like that are held together with load bearing drywall and scotch tape.

Well you made that easy.

>Those are bigger priorities. People nowadays think being well educated is more important than knowing how to wipe your own ass.

Again, an incredible deduction, but not sure how its relevant, since most normal people have to do both.

I'm not sure how you're equating being able to do menial tasks, nearly everyone has to do aside from the ruling class to being somehow related, or superior than the ability to not gleefully internalize every piece of propaganda you see.

This seems like some strong, insecure copium.

Is there evidence to suggest this confidently? It only seems more entrenched than ever. Traditional news media is collapsing, sure, I'm on board with that, but consumption of social media continues to rise as far as I'm aware. As is, practically nobody vets the evidence they base their personal opinions around.

I still haven't read The Jakarta Method because I know it will make me extremely angry and depressed.

How many times do I have to write this, this is exactly why you need drugs to pass the time while studying and criticizing. You're killing yourselves. This is exactly what the false information is, it has come and remains under the capitalist mode of production - the opposition to rational drug use under the WOD, the slander, the lies, the abuse from lack of knowledge, it is in the lie of there being something sinister when it is just a lack of knowledge, much like the fearmongering behind what comes in "an afterlife".

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

He simply wants to control the information, it is what I'm warning anarchoids who push for "unconditional free speech" should do. We (the real movement of drug enthusiasts) should definitely control the information and the narrative to fight the information war with the real movement against the present state of affairs and the movement of the declassed, you should tend towards us or be alienated from the places where the platforms held by the left wing of capital. You should tend against the WOD, it is every sadness and illness you've ever had in your life that could've been prevented by educated drug use. Every low point of depressive anhedonia is a problem of sobriety or in the smallest of cases an improper use of drugs cultivated by the information wars that merits abuse. They really do thrive on ignorance, because ignorance causes freak accidents in the fields of chemistry and botany. It's a high expectation of the social order to be educated about drugs and have almost unconditional access to them, it is where the Prussian model of education cannot do shit since it breeds retardation and thrives on a malformed view of reality that is programmed to create less science oriented and more oligophrenic proles (the dumber the better since retards don't know what's wrong with the mode of production "i.e. mislabeled the world" to have the will to change it). Psychadelics is a threat to this, because it can turn a retarded reactionary person into a curious and open to knowledge one. The class on whose labor society depends, if they are retarded, they have no will to recognize what is happening to them or don't know what is to be done about it. The amount of retards who underestimate the power of mind-altering substances here is evident of the depth this retardation. Coming on an obscure imageboard site and spewing their fearmongering bullshit, when the rest of the internet is practically already doing that, all the media and the entire bourgeois order should be telling of how stupid they are. They think they know better for giving the same ill-informed "opinions" you can find on Stormfront "LE DRUGS ARE DEGENERATE", bots of the NGOs and the reactionary forces.
>just because everyone (most people) say X is true doesn't mean X is false
This is true, yet they present themselves with the view of the status quo as "contrarian" enforcers of "the falling status quo", i.e. defenders of the bourgeois order which have no arguments besides parroting the same pseud "academic" papers meant for fearmongering rather than experimentation, study, adaptation, modification and extraction of the beneficiary properties - they are instead overlooked and slandered. This is not a scientific onlook, it is a reactionary view that thrives off the scared and the parasitic, which completely neglects the history of medicine and science in themselves, the taking of disease to create immunities - a process which they look over because "it is filthy, there is nothing worth doing with it" or deflecting "whatever potential it may have is still not good enough to allow people…" and such arguments. It is reactionary and regressive, but some still think they are "scientific oriented" because of the label games they love to play.
This can all be prevented by proper moderation which will defend the opposition towards the WOD and prohibit provocative slander. But the moderation has no reason to do it because they would rather cultivate a mass of reactionaries than a minority of real, non-cultural progressives.

Not to make the religion metaphor you all hate, but posts like OP always strike me as whatever new age druggie or born again says about how they gained, enlightenment, and now they can truly see the world as it is, blahh blahh. They can't actually use this epiphany to actually do anything tangible in the world, maybe they can't even be put into words, but trust them, they "get it" now.

I've seen a lot of posters like OP who were so sure of their newfound esoteric knowledge of the world that they said they would use it to get rich, since they now understand the economy and business better than anyone except for other enlightened Marxists. No word on if that ever worked for any of them.

If you think concern over technical skills not being prioritised nowadays is strong insecure copium, idk what to tell you.
I guess it's fine to be clumsy and industrially challenged when it comes to making dinner, changing tires, fixing broken furniture,etc.

And for your information, no one is immune from propaganda. Everyone likes to think themselves as "above it all" only to fall into some divisive camp over a non-issue (such as OP).

>Well you made it easy


Just like how you make it easy to turn off people from leftism.

>>675042
This.
It's a case of main character syndrome that I see with conspiracy theorists. They act like just because they autistically "specialize" in particular form of political topics that they're some forsaken Messiah.
They usually arent good at social cues or have any skills to bring to the table. They're plain and mediocre in every way. Most people are mediocre anyway, but these guys feel that they're too good to be average.

"Centralized social media" is too often a convenient scapegoat for any cognitive psychological crises.

Irony is, most indie blogs and anti-Internet "truthers" all parrot the same damn thing as their "centralized" counterparts
I mean shit, even as a kid growing up in the 1990s and 2000s, everyone and their mom held the same sentiments, even down the same wording, as the centralized social media posts they complain about.
