I'm half way through capitalist realism and it sucks ass and is exhausting to read. It's just a giant book of whining that combined with it's constant need to reference movies and "stuck culture" makes it feel like videoessayslop by an english major. No offense to fisher but I can tell that he suffered from depression. There is no meaningful analysis in this book, rather it is complaint after complaint, for which any further analysis is terminated by his depressive state. There are some nice parts, where it discusses the atomization of humanity through individualism, but even then the book never actually explains the exact mechanism for this in an antihumanist, marxist, scientific or even liberal manner. Instead it's "le capitalism wants to sell you SSRIs" which is a poor causal mechanism. I feel like this entire book could have been written by Adam Conover and I would be none the wiser.
