TL;DR: My man realized we're in a capitalist death cult because a system built on unlimited growth in a world with limited resources is unsustainable, no surprises there. That Crypto is a ponzi scheme (yep, we're way ahead of you, bud). And proceeds to blame the left for using ACAB as a slogan and 1980s television and post-apocalyptic movies and the Beatles and Stanley Kubrick saying they're supposed to have brainwashed us and have stopped us from learning the truth about capitalism somehow as part of some conspiracy with Harvard. I'm gonna pass on this manifesto and plant myself on the: "this guy should've gotten help" side

Edit: shit how'd I forget the Simpsons?

Don't forget that the Simpsons play a huge part as well. Even citing two episodes in his blog post.

In his case he self identifies so much with the plot of the show that he's convinced it's actually nefarious brainwashing.
