Karl Marx and Theodor Adorno, the inventors of postmodernism, created pop culture in order to undermine Western values and usher in the nihilistic, atheistic age of brutal communism.

I genuinely can't fathom this style of thinking. How can you have such strong opinions on the Frankfurt School and have literally zero idea what they wrote about or even supported.
It genuinely leaves me dumbstruck. If it's straight up dishonesty for the purposes of propaganda I can get that, fine, dick move but I get it. A lot of these people actually seem to believe it though.
Fucking terrifying.

They don't read and don't know much. A nice all-encompassing conspiracy theory reduces actual complexity to easily digestible 'the Jews did it/le cultural marxism from frankfurt school is responsible'. Congrats, you're now redpilled and have the answer to everything

I personally believe the media is responsible for a huge amount of what's fucked up about Western society, but this guy uses to much appeal to emotion to put up a convincing argument. Shame really, people need to start being critical of these things, but videos like this are only gonna attract paranoids.

It needs to look that way in order to be a convincing sell. The works of these people are so unclear that practically any words can be put in their mouths, and the general public will still buy it. The refusal of philosophers to connect with the common man will against them.
It's a shame. I really like misrepresenting philosophers in order to encourage anti-intellectualism, but the antisemitism is a little too much. People are starting to do the same to Foucault, so hopefully that goes away soon.

I'm interested in cultural marxism and the theories of power made by Foucault. What books do you recommend?

>le postmodernism
Adorno and Horkheimer and the rest of the Frankfurt schoold are clear enough to be actually understood, it's not like they're Heidegger or Derrida.
The summarization of their thoughts that these guys are doing is somewhat correct, but they're completely shifting the guilt from capitalism and fascism as a whole to le communist cospiratory jews.
You CAN talk about Adorno without being dumbfounded by his language, and people have done so for almost a century now. It's not that easy to misread him.
