hahaha

2018-06-26 01:33:48 UTC  

"Future is female"?

2018-06-26 01:33:55 UTC  

something a bit more subtle that that

2018-06-26 01:34:17 UTC  

"Feminism is about equality"?

2018-06-26 01:34:41 UTC  

I really think their slogan is "Future is Female", though

2018-06-26 01:35:52 UTC  

But I mean, imagine it for just a minute... If all these related leftist groups came out tomorrow and admitted this is a belief system that they hold as true but cannot necessarily prove to everyone else... Wouldn't the level of overall outrage diminish somewhat, since people could then put that overall movement into perspective with how the rest of the world works?

2018-06-26 01:36:15 UTC  

I think religious parodies of leftism would be funny

2018-06-26 01:36:34 UTC  

and honestly, I think would actually get people to think

2018-06-26 01:37:33 UTC  

@Porcelain chips They can't do that, though

2018-06-26 01:37:39 UTC  

Like, if my feminist friends told me that this is their religion, I would contextualize the conflict between our world views very differently.

2018-06-26 01:38:03 UTC  

With christians, it's simple. You can't prove great floods, so our religion is a religion

2018-06-26 01:38:15 UTC  

With feminists.....it's much much harder

2018-06-26 01:38:38 UTC  

We need the new four horsemen

2018-06-26 01:41:00 UTC  

Sargon, Dankula, PewDiePie, and? 😄

2018-06-26 01:41:02 UTC  

If they claimed it was just their religion they wouldn't be able to use their tactics to gain power over you.

2018-06-26 01:42:14 UTC  

Post-modernists believe the nature of reality is perpetual zero-sum conflict, and that gaining and wielding power is the only thing that ultimately matters.

2018-06-26 01:43:07 UTC  

Whatever group is on top is an oppressor that must be taken down and their power redistributed.

2018-06-26 01:43:28 UTC  

isnt that what fascists believed

2018-06-26 01:43:30 UTC  

might is right

2018-06-26 01:43:41 UTC  

thats the joke

2018-06-26 01:43:41 UTC  

But the hierarchy of groups is subjective, and depends only on how convincing one's rhetoric is.

2018-06-26 01:43:44 UTC  

BAMN?

2018-06-26 01:44:02 UTC  

post modernists agree with fascists and racists and feel bad about it

2018-06-26 01:44:04 UTC  

and yeah, that's the joke

2018-06-26 01:44:37 UTC  

@Timcast there are very significant relationships between postmodernism and nazism. I strongly suggest you read or listen to Explaining Postmodernism.

2018-06-26 01:45:20 UTC  

But Nazism also had a lot of components of German idealism.

2018-06-26 01:46:14 UTC  

I'd say Jordan B peterson......and no one else so far @LotheronPrime

2018-06-26 01:46:29 UTC  

?

2018-06-26 01:46:40 UTC  

The four horsemen thing

2018-06-26 01:46:46 UTC  

oh yeah

2018-06-26 01:50:44 UTC  

That's something anyway. I wish they'd also try to reign in administrative subpoenas.

2018-06-26 01:52:33 UTC  

It's weird how the kid in this sounds so similar to modern day sjw's

watch some of Tomas Sowell on Firing Line

2018-06-26 01:53:23 UTC  

its like 30 years into the future

2018-06-26 01:55:08 UTC  

Sowell doesn't get the recognition he deserves.

2018-06-26 01:56:58 UTC  

Sowell is unfortunately too boring to fit into most people's attention spans, and not well regarded in modern academia for obvious reasons

2018-06-26 01:57:36 UTC  

Also doesn't fit the oppressed black narrative

2018-06-26 01:58:01 UTC  

That too

2018-06-26 01:58:31 UTC  

Maybe it's just me, but the collective attention span of the new generation seems to be decreasing
