i feel sorry for gen Alpha when they start working. alot of young people seemed to think being an influencer is thier future, its not as easy as it sounds you need something unique and original, only a small percentage ever make it, and often the most succesful comes from wealthy families. ppl like BEAST, KSI, HASAN come from wealth(despite him pretending to be a lefty tankie, hes part of the bourgeoisie)
despite him pretending to be a lefty tankie, hes part of the bourgeoisie
I don’t understand this argument. Engels (& by extension Marx), Lenin, Fidel Castro, Mao Zedong of the ones I know of, all were part of the bourgeoisie. They could have just chosen to rest on their unearned laurels but instead chose to leave all that behind to try to uplift the working class, to varying degrees of success. Surely that deserves some merit?
All known philosophers past present and future came from or lived in bubbles of privilege. Working class people don’t have the time or mental energy to philosophize and present our thoughts to hordes of people, we are too busy working.
When you hate certain people online but want to wrap that hate in some kind of societal prescription as if we haven’t had wealthy celebrities talking about social issues and infecting kids with brainrot since media began. Gen Alpha is going to be like every previous generation with their own sets of challenges and abilities.
If you want the influencers to go away, you have to stop baiting people to argue about them, just let them be.

My 35-year old sister thinks being an influencer is a job I should pursue with my Film & TV degree…

This isn’t really new, when I was young a lot of kids wanted to be a pro footballer or singer.
Yes, but that actually requires working on a skill, which is a valuable lesson for kids.
Being a douche live on a phone doesn’t.
