Your Journey to the Alt-Right.

It's a powerful and frightening idea but really it can't be that someone will just watch a film and then become pro-Brexit.

There's (at least two) distinct levels of discourse. There's the rarefied one that philosophers, thinkers, theorists and so on use, and there is a much more boring simple one that relates to actual real life stuff. Disappointed that making this point is what's made you stoop to the latter for the first time ever.

that's all true, but rather than being eradicated the nastiness has mostly just been outsourced, be it places with laxer/no protections and more desperate work forces or internally to pools of precarious undocumented immigrant labor. in either case someone is still stuck doing it, often in awful conditions - the people who make our phones, clothing, harvest much of our food, etc.

which I mean, is no secret
it's not to say that that definitively proves reforming capitalism is impossible
but it is to say that if you're going to cite reforms you have to make that qualification

I do think it's a real question if there's a version of capitalism that doesn't rely on huge numbers of people toiling in abject misery
be it the indigenous people of the Americas, African slaves, Victorian factory workers, colonial subjects, or segments of today's 3rd world labor force

I was talking with a friend about a group of kids from our hometown who were very smart (or at least, went off to get STEM degrees from good colleges) but apparently adamant Trump supporters in 2016. As far as we knew they had never shown any political inclination prior. He was surprised that even considering the current tumult and the past four years of instability, these same kids were now doubling down on their Trump support. I thought with regards to the ostensibly smart-yet-apathetic Trump supporters, a vote for Trump is an accelerationist ploy, whether they are aware of the term or not, and the state of things wouldn't dissuade their support, as that was in some abstract sense what they wanted. He didn't buy that, but I thought it was on.

It's my impression that the alt-right is thoroughly a reactive movement. Or negative, in terms of defining themselves in opposition, whereas the neoconservatives actually have ideals and principles
