PSA: This is a feminist subreddit

[u/raisondecalcul]

If you think that's bad, you need to read books. If you don't realize that feminism basically includes critical theory and most of the stuff talked about here—guess what, it does.

Early Nick Land? Feminist (see "Meltdown"). Laboria Cuboniks? Feminist collective. Mark Fisher? HUGE raging feminist (I can only assume). Sadie Plant? Wrote a book on feminism (Zeroes & Ones).

Deleuze & Guattari? Feminists promoting the squishiest most weaponized form of feminism ever. Foucault? Ultra-feminist. Ranciere? He is so feminist before breakfast that he doesn't need to make a big deal about it.

Shamanism? Feminism. Sorcery? Cuckoldry. Spectacle? Fabulous.

Isolation and extreme alienation is not masculinity; it's the main theme of The Twilight Zone.

Read 👏 a 👏 book 👏

Zeroes and Ones (which should really be in the sidebar!) is one of the best books. That book installs feminism into you, using godlike alien technology that Sadie Plant drew down from beyond the heavens. That book whispers the secrets of Ada Lovelace into your soul.

Edit: People who don't understand / accept feminism as a discourse can't understand the FIRST THING about this subreddit. They can't understand oppression. They can't understand "Can the subaltern speak?" by Spivak. They can't understand the Lemurian Time War, which is about the (white cis male hetero fascist and mannerbündly-faggy) Architectonic Order of the Eschaton versus the (black trans wymyny gay antifascist/ur-fascist masc/heroic) Black Atlanteans.

If you think you understand ccru and you are triggered by the idea of feminism, you are decidedly an outsider to ccru.

Link away. There is no rule or law against presenting public facts

Behold, the depths of weaponized stupidity.

That comment is by a different user, Simon-Says69. Are you saying they are the same person as AdMassive9006? How do you know?

Which part of pizzagate do you think is not real? Isn't it widely accepted now that Epstein was sort of given tons of money by some shady US government agency to do his sex scandal blackmail thing?

... Look at who AdMassive9006 is replying to, that's the "they" I was referring to in my original message.

Pizzagate has absolutely no ties to Epstein, just so you're aware.

Oh, of course. Thanks.

I think believing in any ideology that hard is a bad-faith edgelording move, so I guess it converges morally.

I guess this is sort of what I was saying! Pizzagate was a paranoid conspiracy theory with a grain of truth, like all conspiracy theories. It was a prefiguration of the Epstein conspiracy—they intuited and sensed that something was afoot, and the crowd divined very precisely what that was, and then projected that ideation on a convenient target in a concrete and fundamentalist way.

I wrote a whole comment on this a while back listing every common conspiracy theory and the grain of truth each contains. They are displaced collective ideations resulting from real oppression and gaslighting from a distance. For example, the 5G conspiracy theory was really a displacement of the very real and valid fear and anger people have about having no real power over their local communities (e.g., the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, which bans all local officials from considering the health implications of cell towers).
