Seriouspost: remember when I told you guys that from now on, the only real "praxis" of the left would be to sit on the bleachers, yelling down at the players that they weren't playing correctly?

This gamestop thing is just the latest proof of this trend.

This trend isn't going to stop either. You'll have the theorycels who've read Adorno or Gouldner or whoever who'll seethe over the fact that the left is being ignored by history and events. They'll moan about how nothing anyone does will ever change anything.

But that's just 100% projection. In a situation of political decay, even fairly small pebbles can overturn the apple cart. It just won't be leftist pebbles from here on out. Their energy is completely spent. They truly do belong on the "dustbin of history" today.

For those of you who aren't stuck in the moribund, insular left: congratulations. Gotham is yours! Do you as you please! Pay no heed to the whining from the dustbin. The dead bury the dead, and history belongs to those who still have the strength and the will to live!
