50 minutes later: dude i swear there's invisible words in these sentences

my ∅ friend, pacing: the determiner phrases are lying to us

there's a lot of reason why I think terfism is a fundamentally nihilistic ideology, but particularly the way it uses genuinely traumatic and oppressive experience as a cudgel just oozes ressentiment

I know this is debate lord type shit but I do get legitimately mad when people defend openly unscientific ways of approaching social phenomena like you are doing pure ideology while calling yourself sensible and you don’t even know that your definition of sensible is itself ideological. not like me though I’m openly biased and ideological I love picking sides and dying on hills

usamericans and europeans love to moralize objective economic categories by transposing the relations of oppression to a good-and-bad dynamic which affects everyone as individuals, so that a statement of fact without any bearing on their individual personhood becomes an accusation to them, one that must simply not be true because their self-imposed moralization goes against the real oppression they do face, an oppression which has of course also been unnecessarily moralized, resulting in a completely self-fabricated contradiction between being oppressed (good and righteous) and benefitting from the oppression of others (bad and despisable)

— Gilles Delueze, Nietzsche and Philosophy

People (sometimes rightfully) criticize negativity and hatred as foreclosing thought and the enjoyment of life but nowadays it’s much more often the case that enforced positivity and agreement foreclose thought and life. It’s so obnoxious how the second you start going into your actual thoughts about something and your belief that things can and should be different, people just start trying to stop you because it doesn’t involve immediate agreement with the way everyone lives their lives. Who fucking cares, I’m not jumping in front of them and restraining them, and I’m not gonna just yammer about myself all day. I’m already part of the world, how am I supposed to skirt around the edges of it without ever saying anything about any of it? These positivity freaks want to reduce all language to description and affirmation, they want everyone to sound like a fucking advertisement
