You could never form a serious political or cultural movement in this era the way they existed from the late 19th century up until the collapse of the USSR.

The thing is, the average NPC today just doesn't take politics seriously anymore or possess the attention span or conviction to be part of any serious movement.

In the early-to-mid 20th century, you had a bajillion new movements spring up, political artistic cultural etc, all with different goals and aims. Communism, fascism, anarchism, syndicalism, and then in philosophical/artistic terms there were surrealism, existentialism etc etc

Whatever you were in the 1920s, left or right or anything inbetween, you had to rely on actual mastery of media manipulation - newspapers, mass rallies, radio, cinema. This is because people actually read books and listened to radio and stuff. People possessed a functional attention span and tool intellectuals/academics as a concept seriously.

Nowadays if you tried to form *any* type of serious transformative social movement from scratch, that wasn't just plagiarism of an existing version of the status quo with some slight aesthetic switches, you would have to rely on the 0.01% of the population who still bothers to read books or be dedicated to something that isn't just nihilistic memes and irony because they spend all day scrolling TikTok.

There will be no new isms in the 21st century, which means we are in the era of global stagnation.

How does /pol/ interpret this?

no, the problem is that you want to live in the past and but know nothing about the past except fragments that sound "cool" to you

Literally nobody on either side is forming any unique political movements today at all, they just rehash or slightly modify what was already built up between 1870-1945

I was thinking about exactly this earlier today after I saw everyone mocking that Fugitive Caesar xitter post, and I thought about it and realized that LLMs will lead to a new explosion of political theory and great takes that do not sound like schizophrenic cringe. It just hasn't settled as a widely-used tool yet, at least in this sphere. The ideologies of the future will be vibe-theorized.

thats because you cannot convince most people to be nationalists when the life their nation gives them is not improving.

Almost like the underlying problems that lead up to the past conflicts never got resolved, a few countries got regime changed and all the problems gut swept under the rug
