FYI: 'Cultural Marxism' (or, originally, 'Cultural Bolshevism') is an anti-semitic term used by the Nazis to discredit Jewish philosophers and cultural critics.

I am aware of that.

The rest of what you say was sort of what I was trying to say, or at least get a little response to. So, thank you. You were much clearer and more articulate than I was, I think. I was just trying to give a little background.

My partner is a big, big movie buff, so just by osmosis I see parts of a lot of movies. Don't Look Up would not be even close to my "top 500" movies of all time. But, on the second, partial viewing, I thought a little better of it. The critics, if that means anything, are pretty evenly split (Rotten Tomatoes) whereas the audience is mid-70's for liking it.

I don't have time to develop this much as my bus is coming, but I suspect interpassivity, which I'm none to familiar with, is at least a little, suggesting maybe nihilist thinking has it's own problems as a "way to change the world". But really, what can you do with you're own "power" without turning it into some sort of violence? Mostly though, why I've been posting at all is to practice writing and hopefully getting a better understanding of my own thinking, and of course, the interaction of others. So, again, thanks.
