Interpassivity and Capitalism

This chapter explores the concept of interpassivity, highlighting how external media elements, like laugh tracks, affect audience engagement and emotional perception. The discussion critiques the nature of capitalism as a pervasive ideology that reinforces complacency through subtle propaganda, while examining the limitations of protests as mere marketing strategies that fail to disrupt power structures. By reflecting on societal movements and contemporary activism, the chapter calls for a more authentic and organized approach to anti-capitalist efforts.
