    Hold the fuck on, this person has a degree in philosophy?

    People in the imperial core study philosophy and somehow don’t read Marx? How the fuck can they understand anything of 20 century philophy let alone history without it?

    Good lord.

    Also, you don’t become leftist becaus of some ultra nerd shit you read trying to be edgy, you become a leftist out of spite of this fucking world after reading a teaspoon of history or just watching the homeless walking in the street whule there is a fucking TV show about superyachts in the background.

      #JustAngloThings

      In most of Europe they still read Marx a lot.

        There’s seemingly a very weird division between what’s studied within and without the Anglosphere. Students on “the continent” study Freud, Lacan, Marx, and Hegel, but you will only hear these characters mentioned with contempt (if at all) in Amurka. We’re stuck instead with Plato, Foucault, and George Orwell lol.
