Joshua Citarella is a visual artist who studies the memes and culture of Gen Z teens radicalized on the internet.
Why does Joshua seem so negative about teen radicals?
I felt that too, especially the manner in which he poked fun at their contradictions. It comes off as dismissive, but I don’t think this is actually the case.
Based on an interview I watched of Citarella, he seeks to understand the teens and their motivations, telling their stories with compassion. Citarella also stated that the right is taking this phenomenon seriously (and using it as a pipeline), so the left should as well.
Yeah that perception stopped me from continuing the video, but maybe I will give it another try. Thanks for giving more context, its a topic that is actually interesting to me
Later that year, Al-Din visited Hinkle in LA and pitched him on what he calls his take on Marxism-Leninism: Maga communism, which envisions harnessing the populist, nationalist fervor of Trump’s base in pursuit of a working-class revolution.
I’ve seen this movie before and I didn’t like the ending.
