Hipster types

Anyone can be salvaged. Imo, it's not who you are but who you fight for. If one of these so called "creatives" picked up a rifle to defend the revolution, they fine by me. If they don't fight but still support the revolution, fine by me. Support the counterrevolutionaries? Fuck them.

Nothing particular about hipster culture to any of the numerous subcultures under capitalism

"Hipsters" are a reaction to late-capitalist, both in a cultural and economic sense. Culturally first, because it begins with young people that aren't workers and are even alienated from the wage system; they sense a degradation of life and the weight of the hegemonic capitalist "culture" and they try to find something in contradiction to it, something that is unlike their parents, obscure things they can secretly value without the obscenties of the advertising industry. Of course because all of this happens under capitalism, media and businesses quickly catch on and try to take these organic trends and force them into fashions and forced fads, reduce the cultural / political motives into vacuous statements: the original truthful reaction to capitalist alienation is replaced by the spectacle. This of course brings the subculture gradually into the mainstream to the horror of the originators, who scramble out to seek something else or decide to give up and cash in.

In the economic sense these people, older, feel the oppression of capitalist wage-slavery firsthand or tried to dodge it from the start, and react by attempting their small artsy businesses in some poor neighborhood because that's all they can afford to do without a corporate job, trying to live as much outside the system as they can while being inevitably submerged in it (being urban). They therefore naturally gravitate to libertarian-liberal concepts but also socialistic thoughts (though hard to put in practice in the above conditions). This alters the neighborhood culture and slowly begins to attract more of such people, but eventually the appropriators and pretenders invade in a flash of porky greed trying to profit from everything, destroying the little community with surface cultural consumers, new "sanitized" construction to rent/sell to the cultural consumers at ever-higher prices and "counter-culture" lifestylist idpol products made by big porky. This of course leads to the original inhabitants of the neighborhood being economically crushed and physically displaced along with the original hipsters.

The problem is largely that these people (the genuine ones) haven't read Debord and don't understand how capital takes over *everything*, or perhaps they understand but are powerless to stop it. Their perpetual search for an anti-capitalist existence is doomed to co-optation and failure without the large scale destruction of capitalism itself.

if they have social media, just walk away.
