celebrated the arrest in a group text this morning and a couple of friends were incredibly glib; one’s first reaction was a defense of Stephen Pinker’s reputation. it disintegrated from there, and after they decided the problem was I read too much Twitter, am a conspiracy theorist, and that they don’t care about “rich guys loving seventeen year olds lol” I told them both they were callous assholes who can suck my loving dick.

known them both for about 25 years, or thought I knew them.

Thankfully it's easy to correlate all of this. The ruling class are monsters and have designed institutions to turn their children into monsters to perpetuate the system. There really isn't much more to it than that.

I've dipped into this thread a few times but not really kept up with the narrative. But today I was off on a long hike down the coast looking for some listening material, and one of the things I'd bookmarked for listening to was the Ghost Stories For The End Of The World podcast, which I think is made by a goon.

I listened to the first 3 episodes and, against the advice of the podcaster, looked up the more morbid details of the Marc Detroux affair and crack-loving-ping.

I think I'm gonna spend some time reading this thread from the start and collating all the recommended source materials.

there are a lot of great starting points! I’m a huge fan of Legacy of Ashes, an enormously thorough history of the CIA which was responsible for a lot of my initial cracking

Perry Mason Jar posted:

I think Oedipa is older generation and their track to transphobia is typically one which tacks to counter the essentialization of womanhood which they see (somewhat incorrectly) as part and parcel with the contemporary trans movement. At least, that's what I've come across from older transphobic or trans-skeptic persons, since much of 20th century feminism was predicated exactly on removing certain predicates, if not all, from womanhood or even femininity. To them it's strange to be asked their pronouns because they worked to broaden the scope of what being a woman is, beyond both gender roles and beyond linguistic prescriptions.

In truth the trans movement and the LGBTQ movement in the US, writ large, is spearheaded by idiotic liberals and politically underdeveloped young adults and teenagers. This is, naturally, approached skeptically by both those to the left and right of where the movement generally sits. For the former it resembles something like the above, maybe, or something like "bourgeois perversion/excess" and for the latter it resembles all of their opponents. When the movement spends more of its time policing language than housing transpersons, well, the critcism or skepticism from the former is not entirely without merit. It certainly doesn't help that the survival-level poverty transpersons endure frequently pushes them into sex work which has specious radliberal defenses surrounding it and which which also has the unintended effect of making trans- existence appear as fetish.

By and large anti-establishment persons, which the right and left both represent to varying degrees, will reflexively oppose anything "new" they see in alignment with the establishment. Given the visibility of transpeople in Hollywood and media, and in establishment liberal governments, there is a suspicion which turns, as always, quickly to hatred if not monitored.

stfu this is making excuses for bigotry, and the bolder bit is just smuggling your own bigotry in.
