Italian brainrot
"Italian brainrot" (Tung Tung Tung Sahur, Tim Cheese, etc.) is the AI-generated meme genre of 2025 that Haz Al-Din incorporated into Infrared's cultural warfare rather than dismissing.
Haz's take
- Against generational cope: "I do believe in generational warfare in the realm of culture and consciousness... Gen Z is also starting to cope when it comes to BrainRot. They invented the term brain rot. It's the type of slander against Tung Tung Sahur, which is very powerful. We need to tear down all forms of modern coping." (EPSTEIN APOCALYPSE stream)
- As eschatology: "You're either following Tung Tung Sahur out of the fucking forest or you're on Epstein's Island. You fucking choose." (SOLDIERS REPORT FOR DUTY)
- As metaphysics: "What if aliens are literally memes? What if Tung Tung Sahur, not a physical being, but the idea of Tung Tung Sahur, is actually an alien... colonizing our brains from afar?" (COMMUNISM WINNING | WE'RE SO BACK)
The point
Brainrot functions for Infrared as the de-territorialized folklore of the algorithmic age — despised by every older generation's sensibility, which is precisely why it belongs to the future rather than the past. Haz's line: each generation's cope defends its sensibilities against the next generation's deterritorialization; communism sides with what is coming into being, not with what is dying.
