The Cool Zone

In leftist spaces, a time period marked by a massive political, social, and economic emancipation as a result of a crisis arising from the failures of capitalism. i.e. , a revolution.

Often preceding widespread abject poverty, increased socioeconomic inequality, an obscene accumulation of wealth by the rich due to their ownership of the means of production, a distrust in the current political process under which people live, and other social issues arising therein.

Although specifics vary, many among the left believe that a worldwide seizing of the means of production and overthrow of the capitalist system by the proletariat is inevitable and will ultimately lead to social, economic, and political emancipation for the working class throughout the world.

Popular examples of The Cool Zone include the August Revolution, the Cuban Revolution, the October Revolution, the February Revolution, the Spanish Revolution of 1936, the Zapatista uprising, among others.

The unemployment rate in the United States has just hit 30% while billionaires have made billions of dollars off of the crisis, and people are beginning to riot. We are entering The Cool Zone!

Unfiction

A fictional piece of media that attempts to suspend disbelief by asserting in some way that it is not fiction.

These stories are typically made in sites commonly used and easily accessible by others (e.g. YouTube, Tiktok, web forums, etc.), and are presented in common formats not typically used for storytelling (e.g. blogging, lets plays, tutorials, etc.)

Unfiction stories sometimes (though not always) have ARG elements - that is, they allow for audience interaction with the storyteller(s) to advance or alter the story.

Have you heard of this new unfiction series about this guy playing a videogame that his sister left when she died?
