In general, authoritarian power structures reclaim sexuality in order to “sell” it back to you as a reward for supporting the system: Capitalism literally sells it to you, Religion grants it to you for creating more adherents, and the State allows it when beneficial to its interests.
If you want to understand a social system, look to the ways in which it seeks to inhibit or control sexuality.
The sad part is Trump could single handedly end homelessness in Washington DC and still be one of the richest and most powerful people in the world, but he is literally and physically incapable of even having that thought.
Malignant narcissists are literally insane.
Masaka is waking!
As a professional fartographer, is that your official fartographical ANALysis?
I don’t know much about MMA or Ireland and I could have told you that.
Sickness is health… War is peace… Ignorance is strength…
What a great way to prepare students for our AI enabled social media and digital surveillance society. Take note kids, trust no one!
Nothing. If people are protesting invasive bloat with by saying they’d rather have Clippy, I’d rather go back to Notepad.
However, it appears that Windows 11 notepad has fallen prey as well? Maybe then I need a profile pic of a needle and a magnetic plate…
Predatory software has become so bad that now we have to use the previous generation’s intrusive hated features to protest the new ones.
I cannot imagine anything more narcissistic than projecting your own rabid sexism and authoritarianism on to “God.”
There is no god, it’s just your own ego Pete. You don’t strike me as a true believer either, and so I think you know this.
I have a theory that narcissistic projection is the core mechanism of fascism. That is why fascist leaders are almost always malignant narcissists, and tyrannical narcissists are always fascistic in their relationships. It follows that if you don’t like something, there would be no concept as to why you couldn’t just delete it. Why wouldn’t you?
I never thought I would need to save a backup copy of the Constitution…
Same here - I was on Reddit for close to 20 years. After the purge, I had to stop because it literally became unbearable. Reddit is now fake dead pet pity posts, brain dead relationship outrage baiting, unintelligible post titles and comments, and barely obfuscated advertising.
Apparently, it’s more profitable than ever; a monument to enshitification.
