feminists-against-feminism:somethingmissingthiswaycomes:feminists-against-feminism:somethingmissingthiswaycomes:missalsfromiram:This cartoon is supposed to be anti-Bernie but it’s actually extremely goodThe government is supposed to be doing shit for us. Demand it. Thats what theyre cointing on. You think theyre customer service and will bend to your will, when theyre actually corporate hq who take away your livelihood and dont serve you. Bernie conceded to a Wallstreet shill who tge DNC admitted they cheated to best Bernie with. Politicians play customer service up front (on TV) and corporate in the back (behind closed doors, as seen by their actual policies and actions). Thats the universal post-Nixon political mullet. It’s called a racket. Business upnfront, but the business is a ruse, a cover for the real business happening in the hidden speak-easy basement found out back or under the secret entrance under the carpet, or DC’s case, rented hotel spaces behind closed doors. Theyll be happy to promise you anything, but as for what theyll install, well that is up to the swamp to decide. You want UBI? Well they can install UBI, but it wont be universal for long, it will be monetized social credit, where you only get paid to be obedient to corporate interests, and then you get to learn why the road to hell is paved with so many good intentions, and learn there is no escape rope, after dragging us down with you. Okay so I was gonna respond like “yeah, dude, obviously the government isn’t actually working for us, I said it should be,” (and ideologically my perfect world would involve societal maintenance without hierarchy, but an explanation of that doesn’t sound as snappy as “demand it”) and then maybe something about how you’re being ridiculously dramatic with that conspiratorial language to the end of trying to say “bad people with power hurt and manipulate us” like that’s some kind of secret rather than something you should just kind of learn growing up, but then I saw your url and thoughtthought I’duhclickand oh oh my godHow do I express the emotion of confounded laughter through text?And clicking a couple links…Holy shitAre you 16? If you’re 16 I’ll delete this reply and leave you to grow up in peace. You sound like a 16 year old who scraped the surface of the world and thinks they’re the smartest fucker around. I and at least three people I know went through this exact phase. We are not proud. But y’know what, being made fun of publicly at 16 would have made me more stubborn, so just lemme know and I’ll take it off my blog.If you’re like… mid-twenties or older? oh geezoh noohBtw I’d look up the origin of the term “cultural marxism,” since I see that concept has kinda woven its way into your blog there.Phase? I dont know anyone with even half of my same opinions other than two black lesbian mutuals and a putin hating russian transgender woman.I actually wrote that page you screenshotted a few years ago when i supported Bernie, around my early to mid twenties. Im just an aspie, which doesnt matter to me, but im sure youll laughibly take it as a card and ‘check yoir privilege’ or something goofy, but i mention it because, whatever the cause of the symptomology, it does make me struggle with explaining things. Ive gotten significantly better since in wrote that page you screenshotted, and that page alone was significant progress for me (granted, i really need to update it). Ive explained my rejection of the term ‘cultural marxism’ numerous times in posts here and there over the years, which mostly amounts to the point Gramscii, Horkheimer and Adorno, and Alinsky had little influence on the content of conflict theory other than its popularization, no dofferent than Shakur, when compared to other more fundamental additions to conflict theory, let alone actual factions and parties. I base my claims and criticisms about conflict theory based on what conflict theorists say and theorize, not based on what their critics say about them. I certainly dont base my beliefs on who makes fun of me or not, thats rediculous, i base my beliefs on observations, hypothesis, and testing hypothesis. I began formulating my criticisms of conflict theory ideas when i myself considered myself a feminist and a social justice advocate, before i even formallt knew what conflict theory was.Im fully interested in an honest comparison of our ideas. Ill even recite your beliefs back to you, after you tell me them, in a way youll recognize as your own ideas (or ill try til i get it right) if youll attempt to honestly do the same wity mine, and then ill present what i find to be errors and omissions in yours, and you can do the same for my ideas. Im interested in what is factual, whether the facts are easy or convenient to me or not, and i can recant (even possibly find) numerous times where ive changed my mind based on new information. I will even walk you through my deconversion from left socialism, and we can express our difference of views on how to properly respond to what i experienced and observed, and why, and why such things happened. But its not as if this would be anywhere close to my first conversation, and youve not given much to anticipate learning anything new, but rather, you just knee jerked, laughed at me at first glance, laughed at me for something i wrote when i was a Bernie socialist like you, screenshotted stuff you found absurd from the worldview we used to stand in together, belittled me, and vaguely suggested im altright or something, which im not offended over, it just doesnt make a full discussion with you seem promising. But im willing to fully offer you the botd.The wage crisis, criminal billionaires, corporate government, slavery outsources around the world, monetized war businesses, and other humanitarian crisis of our times are too important to let annoying differences stand in our way of learning more about them, and possibly how to mitigate or solve them. We probably arent as different as you think, i grew up listening to communist political punk music, i learned most of what basics i know about politics originally from critics like John Stewart, as well as the Occupy Wall Street socialist era, as one myself at the time, and ive never been outside of an 'anti establishment’ position which is actually the reason i started and stopped supporting Bernie.Are you willing to have a proper dissent of that sort? Where we actually discuss differences in analyzing systems, justification, identifying problems and solutions? And come to a point where we understand what specifically it is we disagree about? And mutually offer the botd in changing our minds? Its not as of ive learned nothing and never changed my mind by speaking with socialists, or that none of them have learned or changed their minds speaking to me. And the vision, that was planted in my brain… still remains Within the sound of silence -- source link
