Treatbrain - Site culture or an informed Marxist understanding of the average Westerner? (hexbear.net)

I was wondering if anyone has any Marxist literature related to this topic, if it exists at all. Talking about "treats" is very much a part of the site's culture, so I'm wondering if this part of hexbear has any grounding in the Marxist understanding of the world in the 21st century.

This is not a shitpost, I'm genuinely curious. Thanks! stalin-approval

elevates it to the level of core national identity.

So much so that it invades the political discourse a lot. The nonsense "culture war" focuses heavily on treats most of the time.
