It’s just funny. A tiny cohort of edgy progressives used that word for about 5 minutes circa 2016. Ever since, that word has been entirely a fixation and obsession of reactionaries.

I think the social network was the most emotionally resonant movie for a certain cohort of young ambitious millennial males.

Whereas wolf of Wall Street was the most resonant for the same category of zoomers.

The message you got watching social network was basically this… the boomers are old and stupid and clueless and we can take over from them. Their empires are houses of cards and all we have to do is start pulling the cards out. We’ll build our own digital empires in their place. Will they be better than the boomers? Don’t know, don’t care. But we’re going to get rich and powerful doing it.

The message of Wolf of Wall Street is fuck everyone and everything. Nothing matters. The world is fucked. The only way to get ahead is to lie, cheat and steal. It doesn’t matter anyway. The only thing that matters is what you can get away with. Penny stocks, shitcoins, meme tokens, monkey pics whatever… let’s get our hands on it and find the next sucker dumb enough to buy it. We live in the moment. Fuck tomorrow.

pessimism vs nihilism
