What are these things that matter that we are fighting for?
Preserving capitalism, just you know, we’ll fix it this time, we just have to do (thing that is guaranteed to be undone by capitalism)!…
Or… not that, instead, identifying the instinct to do that as the entire main problem that causes or exacerbates all the other problems?
Its only semantics if you’re in full-on capitalist realism mode, where the apocalypse is easier to imagine than the absence of capitalism.
That’s how you get the Fallout timeline.
I hope we understand that the Fallout timeline is bad.
Smearing around the meaning of words is actually exactly how propoganda works. If you literally can’t even know what someone is talking about or means, well, then you basically just make stuff up willy nilly, confusion increases, meaningful discussion becomes more and more impossible, and the status quo wins.
No, see, its not semantics.
