I think Hexbear would get through to a lot more people if you stopped acting like the retro encabulator video. I think you are capable of explaining your point with words and terms commonly understood by the laymen, and if you aren't maybe you should learn how to communicate with "normal" people before you try to change their minds.
But I'm just a dumb illiterate so who am I to say.

This post seems to be targeting other Hexbear users. While I do see new communists tend to try to flex fancy terms on non-communists, most of us do try to simplify a bit. When OP is discussing how capitalists use culture to socially reinforce anti-intellectualism in the public, it's pretty clear to us what she means, but I doubt OP is going to use that same terminology when talking to someone outside the communist sphere.
You're not dumb, nor illiterate, just likely unfamiliar.
This isn't about hexbear "getting through" to people. Hexbear is a small niche community on the internet where some leftists who know about it like to come to hang out, commiserate, shitpost, and argue (usually but not always in a friendly way) with each other. I'm not OP but she's obviously talking about a much deeper endemic problem in western culture of anti-intellectualism and is not saying "nobody wants to learn the terminology of Dialectical Materialism" the way you seem to have taken it. Just because the users here tend to be educated enough to understand what bourgeois-enforced social reproduction is, that doesn't mean anyone here is expecting the average person on the street to nod in agreement when hearing it phrased that way.
Yes, I think almost if not everyone here is easily capable of doing that and many frequently do. God forbid we use Marxist jargon while discussing it amongst ourselves on our own communist community site.
Thanks for your concern trolling though, and missing the point while proving it.
we have that, he's callled Cowbee
