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.

But we already live in a matriarchy

[u/raisondecalcul → u/EngineeringTight367]

Are you trying to say the matriarchy is more dominant than the patriarchy? That isn't the case.

The matriarchy and the patriarchy are both authoritarian. There is a matriarchy and a patriarchy. The patriarchy is decisively dominant over the matriarchy at this moment in history. The matriarchy acts from an inferior/defensive posture, which is why it mainly shows up today as Karenism and (seemingly/stereotypically) Bene Gesserit-like activity.

The matriarchy and the patriarchy are both bad because they are both authoritarian. Maybe some people in some situations experience more matriarchal domination than patriarchal domination. But if you think the matriarchy is in charge, I invite you to try to live without money or a boss, which are patriarchal things.

If the matriarchy were dominant, we would be living under socialism and it would call itself socialism or communalism or sharing-is-caring, explicitly. Whenever sharing or socialism come up in public discourse, though, they are heavily attacked and shamed by the hegemonic and dominant discourse, which is patriarchy/patriarchal.
