>>25258686
>praxis
Definitely

>capitalism
No

The first gets used mostly be people who see actually putting things into practice as actually unusual, given how much theory consumes their lives.

Capitalism is an extremely useful concept for political discussion and its history and avoiding the term would be absurd in many cases.
>>
>>25258686
I do not care for the word "produced." No, I don't. Is it its overuse in certain contexts? Is it its lack of specificity? Is it the pseudointellectual baggage it carries? Perhaps. But no, I do not care for the word "produced."
>>
>>25259062
its about as useful as discussing whether someone is "white" or not. used 99.99% of the time to discuss a boogeyman invented in someone's head. makes some sense to discuss in a historical context. in today's context, every modern economy is a mixed economy. damn the more i write about it the more clever of an analogy it is.

"Literally" is the worst. Adverb abuse in general is Reddit.
People these days literally can't physically hold themselves back from obsessively using adverbs repeatedly in literally every sentence.

>>25259022
To refer to what? Capitalism doesn't exist, the word is used to reference a million different things including corruption and all you accomplish by doing that is confuse yourself.

Avoid calling people, as hard as it may be, 'troglodytes.' Many a time have I found myself downvoting one of these Russian bots for sharing their conspiracies. We need to do away with these people and prevent them from spreading hate.
Have you ever heard of the Paradox of Intolerance?
Of course not, do research.
The only way we can have a tolerant society is if we are totally intolerant of intolerance. It's not hypocritical, you simply need to do better.

Ugh, makes me so heckin mad, need to do a boop on this doggo's snoot.

But back to your post, do NOT liberally sprinkle in some humorous, ideally pop-culture related, footnotes for that cherry on top. The lack thereof is often a dog whistle for chud "literature."


edit: wow didn't think this would get so much attention! Free Palestine!

edit: THANKS FOR THE GOLD, KIND STRANGER! YAAAA I LOVE GOOOOOLD! haha, that's an Austin Powers reference for the kids that don't get it. ARGGGH IM SO OLD!

>Capitalism doesn't exist,
Lots of things that don't exist have words. Like dragon or magic and tons of fantasy and sci fi words. Being real isn't a requirement for having a word.
>>
>>25258686
Curmudgeon is an amazing word, what??
>>
>bodies
I really hate it whenever that term is used to refer to a group of people. I also dislike it when someone says something is "coded". When people use terms like that it's guaranteed they're an academically programmed NPC.
>>
>>25259955
Add "intersection" to the above.
>>
>>25259947
A dragon is a defined fantasy, "capitalism" refers to nothing and everything depending on what agenda you want to push. Its only utility is to confuse.
>>
>>25259191
It we're including phrases I'm astonished nobody has posted "media literacy". The biggest fucking midwit-magnet term coined in the last half decade, never to be heard from the lips of anyone who does serious work in criticism and hermeneutics
>>
>>25259955
Saying coded is npc coded.
>>
>>25259955
The whole "bodies and spaces" thing is a fourth-hand borrowing from Foucault and it was already stupid in the first place

I study the paradoxical intensions imbued within queer-coded bodies by mining the intersection of heteronormative capitalist assemblages and quasi-transgressive cultural artifacts manufactured for mass consumption within the hegemony of the current neoliberal ideological paradigm.

Thank you for being tolerant, the preferred term is person of fire

It's "firefighter". This has nothing to do with gender sensitivity but rather the fact retarded meatheads who join the fire department think it sounds more badass.
