  • That’s the thing about “hierarchies” that rely on manipulating and dividing the masses to carry out social darwinism for them. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join, as long as they can be exploited. Once you’ve served your purpose, you find out real quick your new purpose is simply to replace the scapegoat you helped eliminate.

    It doesn’t matter if you’re JD Vance, Bari Weiss, or some random schmo that joined ICE bc they just needed the money and didn’t mind hurting other people. You do not belong at the top of their hierarchy. You don’t “earn” a spot. You’re either born into it, or you’re not. In case it wasn’t already obvious, claims of meritocracy are part of the projection and manipulation thing.

    It’s amazing that people are dumb enough to believe that the same families of generational wealth, who have recycled and relied on this same strategy over and over again, have simply made a special exception and welcomed them into the club. As long as they don’t step out of line, and as long as they always do as they’re told, they’ll be safe, regardless of what history tells them.

    They’re so busy enjoying the little taste of power and belonging that they’ve been rewarded with for enabling the “lions,” they won’t even realize they’re being fattened up to make a more convincing public sacrifice until it’s too late.

  • I think you’re misunderstanding my point.

    Feminism isn’t about being an asshole vs a nice person. It’s about equality and it extends beyond gender.

    Why are women treated differently? Why aren’t they given the same respect as everyone else? Why should anyone be denied an equal place in society based on things like race, class, gender etc.?

    My only point about assholes is that an individual who is truly opposed to equality, is simply an asshole. Even assholes opposed to equality are still entitled to the same rights as anyone else, but the consequences of being an asshole (people not respecting or associating with you because you acted like a disrespectful asshole) are not violations of your rights.


  • Yes, bc I support equality. That’s it. That’s all it means. I try to treat others the way I would want to be treated. I try not to be an asshole to others. I know sometimes I fail, but I don’t go out of my way to do it. If somebody tells me I did something incorrect or hurtful, I don’t get offended, I just try to do better in the future if I see them again.

    I didn’t know that supporting feminism was just supporting equality until I was an adult bc nobody ever taught me that. It’s not really surprising to me that some people attach other meanings to the word (both positive and negative), or that some people are opposed to it because of whatever negative things they may have attached to it.

    It is still very surprising to me that there are people who will openly admit they’re just strongly opposed to equality. From my perspective, if you’re opposed to equality, that means you’re opposed to treating others as you would want them to treat you. You’re intentionally being an asshole, and you kinda forfeit any expectations of respect from other people. I still believe you’re entitled to the same rights as anyone else, but getting called out for being an asshole is not a violation of your rights. Equality means it’s ok to be an asshole to another asshole. That is feminism to me.

    I thought about asking how would state controlled media be able to publish anything about an image if it’s banned. Then I figured that’s pretty obvious, and didn’t want to ruffle any feathers. Should have known better than to try and go against the narrative. My bad.
