One must consider that biohazard suit memes are fun, but ultimately driven by xenophobic fearmongering not just in the news, but the grassroots (4chan /pol/)
I just got my Žižek article post quoted and FUCK that's a good channel name they suggested:
Posadists were introduced in mention to me by this badass Brazilian outlaw. There's apparently still a following in South America, but it's the most bonkers Marxist splinter group I've ever heard of. They're best know for their enthusiasm for nuclear war and other such global cataclysm - such that governments and economies collapse but humanity, while damaged, is strong and conscious enough that they are able to rebuild a better society.
Beautiful if kooky way of coping with fear during the cold war, but it's also bundled up with other batshit things. UFOlogy - concepts that the species capable of interstellar travel would have to have advanced beyond capitalist societies in the style of Star Trek, and they may very well be avoiding us for that reason.
Other bizarre beliefs held by the Posadists included a fervor for water birthing, dolphin communication, and the belief that humans will ultimately reproduce asexually ‘like amoeba’, curing ‘miserable, abominable sexual excitement’.
The Fallout series of games should explore Posadism. I'm wondering if anyone can think of any examples where they might've already, outside of the little green men with blaster guns.
