to see you

He escapes via intelligent deep adult consumerism bro, it's totally different.

No wonder people develop weird, cult-like obsessions with terrible shit like modern Star Wars and Doctor Who, the alternative is being forced to face reality.

I face reality with my dick out mate.

why are you

Why don't they get into something like anime then? Star Wars isn't escapism. It's corporate leftist political bullshit.

Ironic cuckposting is not much better, fuckboi

I have a question, do people really just identify as being into pop culture?
Not even a specific fandom just "pop culture" in general?

Yes

This. But to make your entire personality revolve around pop culture? Now that's just sad, famalamadingdong.

Nothing wrong going into fiction to hide out from reality, but that doesn't mean you should obsess over media intended for four year olds.

>Snoopie
Literally for young kids
>Invader zim
Probably for five year olds
>Joker
For six year olds

Maybe um read Tolstoy, flip through a Corto Maltese, watch a Terry Gilliam... Anything your age basically.

>modern Star Wars
Nah, you’re a manchild too for liking it before Disney

lol when Adorno said that the culture industry pacifies the population by turning them into docile consumers who live in fantasy worlds separate from any sort of real world struggle, people basically called him a conspiracy theorist

Absolutely

Not specifically, no. But if you enjoy various series I guess it's just easier to say you're a fan of pop culture than to say "I like Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Batman, James Bond..." and so on.

What happend to them, do they have some sort of disability?

Because marketing and previous popularity perpetuate it. Nobody's going to want to talk about the latest Mary Sue isekai weebfest at the water cooler, but a lot of people feel culturally mandated to watch Star Wars.

uhmmm but steven universe deals with morals and ethics too, even better than tolstoi?

True, but also people whose entire lives and personalities revolve around politics or their gender or their sexualityare just as sad. Like, get a fucking hobby. Go bowling or something.

Adorno was kind of a elitist cunt, though. Don't get me wrong, the guy had every right to be angry about the state of the world, he was a literal refugee from Nazi Germany (Though, again, the fact that he could easily flee to America and immediately get a job teaching at a prestigouus university is a privilege many other jewish Germans didn't have) but he's also exemplary for what are still some very negative tendencies of the left. Like introducing the idea that the real revolutionary vanguard isn't the working class but prissy bourgeois academics like himself.

Except modern politics is escapism. People have shitty lives where they work shitty jobs (or have no jobs) so they try to feel important by fighting DRUMPF or the SJWs or whatever, when all that energy should really go to fixing their personal issues.

this "man" is so insanely unattractive in his mannerisms, it's like he's an anesthetized 12 year old with severe autism needing mommy to wipe his ass. people like this strike me having never really thought or felt much of anything at all. it's so deeply repulsive.

Sounds like something an idiot who exists just to be marketed at would do.

Of course. Why do you think it was so swiftly banned from nearly every website? It struck a chord.

Think of them like religious or cultural iconography. The actual build quality of the thing isn't what matters. What matters is that your shitty American flag t-shirt makes you feel like you're a part of something.

Lemme guess, you think your're a big boy because you like the Joker?

...

All these childhood characters yet, who the fuck is that nigger? It looks like some Steven Universe or some shit.

In light of that, even if one doesn't care about a particular insecurity/weakness or doesn't even believe that it's real/valid: hardcore leftists are terrified that they're not unique at all, that they're carbon copies of one another, that their behavior can be distilled down to a few scripts and that deep down they're not thinking before acting, they're just drones.

People of the pre-modern world would have thought he was a hippy.

Imagine being such a child that rather than confronting problems and putting in an effort to solve them or improve the situation, you run towards childish "pop culture" fandoms. That is an attitude best suited for women, not men.

You're the one complaining though?

Adorno and the Frankfurt School were against the notion of “revolutionary vanguard” developed by the bolsheviks. Marcuse was very adamant in this point in his “One Dimensional Man” were he advocated for a form of individualism.

wow this guy really hates discord trannies

Why don't you go fucking look it up? The whole "conservatives are more employed" meme just straight up ignores how the largest welfare states are Red.
>inb4 this is the black man's fault
Blacks are minority populations in those welfare states, with poor whites sucking up the majority of the find and most jobs not even in Red states to begin with.

That’s what those faggots turned it into. It used to be a place of acceptance. Where you could communicate with people like you stress free. A community of the like minded.

I don’t know who’s idea it was, but corporations coopted it, and filled it with the human equivalent of that Steve Buscemi meme.

To suffer?

>Pshh I can't even

I wish.

Has this faggot never heard of punctuations?

The majority of black people in the US live in Southern states. In many of those places they're not a small minority

It's about a hundred times harder. Why do you think poor people like entertainment so much?
And why do you think people who have their life together or are getting it back together abstain from shit like the internet and tv?

In a phrase you are probably familiar with; I'm not going to spoonfeed you.

you say that like Jabba wasn't Jabba before he shaved his neckbeard and chugged estrogen

>people who have their lives together, don't have fun
Do you honestly believe this?

Toxoplasmosissy

Actually think of people you know who have their life "together" and think of how many of them are completely focused on their career / love life or watching movies.

Pop Culture fandom used to be an escape, until liberal turds decided to make it all about their politics as well.
Like they decided in 2016 that the problem was they hadn't pushed their propaganda ENOUGH.

No one has their life together. Unless they're some billionaires with no worry of tomorrow.

Whites still hold majorities in those Red states, user...and are largely the most prominent demographic that accept welfare along with poor black communities. I'm not sure why a /pol/nigger would want to ignore this, it plays perfectly into your victim narrative that the job market is somewhat against blue collar work, because in effect it is. Not for any nefarious reason. Just because the money is elsewhere. It's why Forbes kept warning people about Trump's retarded "bring coal back" pipedreams.

GameStop here in Germany are now buying back Funko pops, provided they come in their original, unopened packaging, at 4€ a pop (no pun intended). 6€ if it's one of those gigantic Funkos.

No shit nobody's life is PERFECT. But a lot of people have their lives in sort. The fact that you believe nobody does is more telling of you than me.

you spent like 20mins bitching when you could just provide a source lol you dont have one

>white people do the majority of something in a majority white country
Yes...

You must not have many friends. One friend makes 60k a year, and we love to get together and play Mario Cart and do movie marathons. Another is a literal nuclear engineer for the government, and we do the same. You must be extremely boring if you think people just stop having interests in hobbies.

>this means it's okay that they are sucking up welfare the most

This is a useless conversation. The point is that black people are much more likely to be on welfare per capita, which no reasonable person disputes. The question is why that is, and your answer to that question is predicated on whether you're politically left or right

and leftists supports illegal aliens and sanctuary cities lol bunch of cucks

Why have you never bothered to Google search things you pretend to believe? No user, all the Alex Jones memes about right-wingers being genius paragons of industry are correct!

There is an objective and non political answer as to why minorities are on welfare, but you won't like it.

And you're missing the point, the number of whites on welfare is still fucking staggering if you take per capita into account. Which looks pathetic in majority white Red states.

They should be. They're the majority.

>it looks good that a majority population is this dependent on government welfare

We aren't talking about blacks though? The number of whites on welfare per capita is also abysmal. Why don't you want to fix that too?

It's like they're the ones who suffer whenever one of these big brained cultural revolutions happen.

That's unhealthy.

I fucking hate funko pops. As a buyfag/collector its even more infuriating when i see it. Why not just get a nendo? I fucking hate normalfags.

Nendos are several times the price and you have to buy them online. Funko has the lowest common denominator audience in mind.

I find funko pops disgusting, since the target for it are people who just mindlessly consume popular media without any specific interest. They're cheap, and ugly. Someone who really likes batman or whatever who has so little shame they'd buy figurines should buy something more substantial I think.
