What is Doomer? :(

It is a nebulous thing that may include but is not limited to Climate Change posts or Collapse posts.

Include sources when applicable for doomer posts, consider checking out !bloomer@www.hexbear.net once in awhile.

like it feels like the only way out of this spiral into mass servile proud illiteracy in the imperial core is that, for the third qualifier, ego injury might push people into learning out of spite. I don't know. What can you even say to people who don't understand how to parse what you are saying, and then get mad at you about it?

Am I overreacting? Is this too blackpilled? It genuinely seems like this is a very dark potent, especially at this nexus of heightened contradictions

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.

I think you are capable of explaining your point with words and terms commonly understood by the laymen

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.
