This type of naval-gazing identity activism is just what the capitalist oligarchy loves, since it can polarize idiots on both sides of the fence and does nothing to threaten their hegemony.
Of course, the identity activists think they're sticking it to the man, and their opponents also think they're sticking it to the "elite", but they're both functioning in the well defined boxes of what is allowed and refusing to engage the injustices that affect all of humanity - which is an overwhelming task. Better to stick to the low-hanging fruit of "I am [fill in the blank] and demand to be respected for it".
Otherwise known as MK Ultra or trauma based mind control. Available info is shadowy and piecemeal but it seems to be a real phenomenon. It's been connected with Nazi scientists and the CIA. Also the Manson family. Throw in LSD and stuff gets weirder. I'm sure any full expose would produce mass horror if what is written is close to the truth.Geiginni wrote: Wed May 03, 2023 1:48 pm I saw this a few weeks ago, how timely!

My takeaway was that the vast majority (at least over 90%) of people who exhibit this have also been the victims of horrific childhood sexual abuse.
Not recognizing this as something that at the very least needs to be acknowledged, and then coped-with, treated or put into some useful (and hopefully) beneficial perspective for the sufferer seems akin to someone who had their leg ripped off mid-femur deny any need for help and insist you accept their bleeding stump as it is, regardless of how it many impact anyone - themselves included.
So "allowed" indeed that you jumped at the chance to put them down. "Low-hanging fruit" indeed.Geiginni wrote: Wed May 03, 2023 12:36 pm I'll bite.

To me, "identity activism", whether it be BLM or this, is fundamentally a call for awareness and respect. These screenshots are confusing to me. They should be treated with care/respect. I'd hate to insult someone based off my own lack of comprehension.kokorodoko wrote: Wed May 03, 2023 2:37 pmSo "allowed" indeed that you jumped at the chance to put them down.

Why would they need to defer to whatever criteria you have set up for valid activism, when you are obviously outside of their sphere of concern?
Assuming there is even any "activism" going on here. There is nothing even indicating this in the images posted!
"think they're sticking it to the man", "refusing to engage" - where do you get this from?
I'd have to know far more about this to say anything informed, but from peeking at some of the accounts and a subreddit thus far it looks like another kind of neurodivergency-awareness/exploration/community-building, nothing too out of the ordinary. Not crap in this regard.
Christ, you are as boring as taking a wipe with a total lack of residue.
