i am a big fan of using real world philosophies to analyse fictional worlds on the watsonian level, they’re a particularly good way to make abstract theories more concrete, but if you look at things like actual literal deities that do have inherent power compared to other beings and uncritically say how they’re just like the one percent or some shit, i beg you to crack open a book and review what the hell reification is or move on to other hobbies.

#sorry i’m in pretentious era but i haven’t had to suffer through hegel and marx and adorno and lukacs #for weirdos on the internet — particularly certain parts of the cr fandom — to fail their reading comprehension test #sees something that is literally more powerful or dangerous and goes This Is Injustice Like Our World. open a book #like no actually the theorists who criticize capitalism are saying the opposite . they’re saying no one is inherently anything #and we’re all made into fools when we are convinced by capitalism to believe that anyone is inherently better or worse or more dangerous #which is . not the same as when a fictional world has beings where they have gone Hi These Things Are Actually Literally Inherently 100%#Different/More Dangerous/Powerful. not everything is a critique of capitalism #further. not everything is a good critique of capitalism and it’s products (oppression) looking at you mutants .#philosophy tag #on fandom #cr fandom
