I think my new position is that large corporations need to be forced to respect consumers more and small businesses need to respect them less
It’s too much to screenshot but there’s a huge kerfluffle on Threads right now where a woman is mad that a Portland otaku cafe made her unlabeled agoraphobia service dog go outside so she demanded two weeks of that employee’s pay. The owner made the whole staff do ADA training and told the woman…

People may joke but this might be where this all ends up: on the industry recreating old forms of gatekeeping so that social proof and webs of trust can be used to stem the tide of low-effort slop, effectively undoing what digital distribution did in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Perfect consumers, with desires that can never be satiated
if you look at the incel/chud/manosphere stuff, they're *obsessed* with high school girlfriends and their lack of them. Now obviously some of them are just pedocons, but for a lot I don't think they even want a teenage girlfriend now, they want *to have had one.*. It's inherently unachievable.
But the thing is politics was never going to turn back the clock and make you the captain of the football team or the prom queen or whatever. That’s not what it’s for.

I dislike ‘conservatives are fundamentally incapable of creating good art’ because it’s obviously untrue but the trumpist new right is def incapable of making good art because their political identity is primarily forumlated around being consumers, and consumers, definitionally, cannot make art
The conservative movement is so culturally desolate that it hasn't produced a great thinker in almost a century, and has produced no great artists or writers for an even longer period. There's simply no need to engage with their thought, because it's all base ressentiment
A fun thing about the far-right trying to dig up cultural artefacts almost weekly over the past few months (it's the SW prequels now) is that they're desperately trying to find anything whatsoever that might resonate more broadly--because the movement is completely dead with no momentum.
