Journal of Other Forum Analysis

[Eric Cartman]

What's great about Nepenthe is that she's decided her entire personality is "fervent anti-capitalist" (to cover her racism) but she's never bothered to generate any conceptual understanding of capital. You can tell from her various posts that she thinks of it purely as cash money, so the Global South had to have this super wealthy peaceful past or else where would the whites get rich from? You look at everything she says about just video game or media companies and you can tell she has no understanding of the industry from the business side at all. So it makes sense to describe a massive public corporation as "white-led" because the CEO is a white guy. I doubt she could tell you how her own Rite Aid even operates in these terms, that it must have some big vault of cash somewhere that it piles up from charging people for things.

There's something very similar about B-Dubs vision for this highlight thing and really much of the forum in general. They instinctively hate the idea of things not being in the control of the powerful. Good things like "productive discussion" just flow down from on top, same as bad things like character design choices in video games. All of it planned, all of it intentional, all of it directed towards some clear morally based goal. Intents are made clear (somehow, even though it takes so much learning to see how these systemic forces operate) and either basic human decency or basic human cruelty leads directly to the achievement of those intents. So intent is the only form of judgement that ever matters. (Hence why you need to spend so much time uncovering the true intent of lying chuds by blindly psychoanalyzing them based on your own personal hangups.)

You can't trust the masses with likes or recommendations on YouTube because those will just be manipulated by "outside" forces towards the results they intend. Which is why it's so important for the "good" powerful to manipulate things towards their results first and with greater protection over their control. Now you can see the very massive danger in ever putting the staff at risk.

It's funny, because they know and use the right words that break out of this mentality: "critical thinking", "media literacy", "transparency", etc. but use them as terms to bolster their ideology like they call other people fascists when they're the ones behaving like fascists.  It's probably subconscious, but it is meant to erode and undermine conversations that might threaten the ideology.  And when those words are just throwaway terms, people can't even engage in a constructive dialogue with each other because nobody agrees on what those words mean - they've purposely confused people by disjointing meaning from real words.

Its covered in Orwells Politics And The English Language (which I am longterm triggered by incelchief always citing but had clearly never fucking read) which is - ironically - summarised by the phrase thought terminating cliché
