    That’s interesting, I hadn’t thought about things in those terms before. I am wondering whether part of why the right seem to be so good at recuperation is that the right (in particular, fascists) benefit from capitalist support. Money and media have a lot of power; I weep for the people who were indoctrinated to hatred to the extent that they voted against their own interests. The scales are tipped in the right’s favour in that regard. What do you think?

    (I haven’t read Society of the Spectacle yet, in case that addresses some of what I’m saying)

    Tangentially related, but I’m reminded of this quote from Disco Elysium:

    “Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who critique capital end up reinforcing it instead.”
