#Subjugation

The persistence of heteronormativity is not only due to the weight of social conventions and norms, but also to material conditions of existence: being in a couple means having more resources. Sophie Lewis asserts that the conditions of heterosexuality are inseparable from economic realities: ‘Most women are too overworked, too exhausted by the demands of capitalism and its culture of compulsory enjoyment to even have the opportunity to learn to love.’

Sophie Lewis wrote ‘Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation’

“I simply do not see why the nation has to have an official sexuality, especially one that authorizes the norm of a violent gentility; that narrows the field of legitimate political action; that supports the amputation of personal complexity into categories of simple identity; that uses cruel and mundane strategies both to promote shame for non-normative populations and to deny them state, federal, and juridical supports because they are deemed morally incompetent to their own citizenship. This is the heterosexuality I repudiate.”

― Lauren Berlant, in "The Queen of America Goes to Washington City: Essays on Sex and Citizenship"

'What distinguishes Wittig's theoretical, political and literary project, and makes it an unavoidable pole of intellectual attraction today, is its radical anti-essentialism. It's the radical anti-essentialism that Wittig applies to the most credible of beliefs, because of the strength of its naturalization: the idea that men and women are naturally complementary "natural groups".'

Sara Garbagnoli explained in 2023: moniquewittig.com/wp-content/u đŸ§¶

Heterosexuality is a regime of political oppression đŸ§¶

"Just as racism produces race and not the other way round, sexism produces sex through the relationship of domination that reduces the dominated to things or natural objects."

 said Natacha Chetcuti-Osorovitz summarizing Monique Wittig

We have about 16,000 years of human #history. Most of that time people have been subjected to #authoritarianism, #exploitation and #subjugation.

This is why we have #elites. But do we need them? The answer is an emphatic no, but it's a matter of #organization and #decentralization.

#Montesquieu didn't go far enough. You need to decentralize #power? Decentralize #politics, decentralize #money, decentralize #knowledge.

Propagandhi - Supporting Caste

Because history exalts only the pornography of force
That of murderers and psychopaths
The rest of us, of course, stricken from the narrative wholesale
A backdrop to their tale

Eventually, philosophers arrived at the superiority theory of humor, according to which every joke is, at its core, a hostile attack designed to affirm the comic’s dominance and assure the subjugation of its target.

The most common form of #RacialGaslighting that #AsianWomen must endure is that their hyper-sexualized #subjugation is a harmless compliment. High right-swipe rates of #Asian women by men of all races on dating apps are perceived as privilege, when it's #RacialFetishization. #racism & #sexism ; byproducts of violent & #imperialist #WesternHistory.

#Immigration of Asian women was #outlawed in #PageActOf1875 - #Chinese women #RaciallyProfiled as dirty prostitutes.

Margot Déage: "A girl who does not belong to a boy or a man can fall into the category of whore at any time, whatever her clothes or sexual practices."

Margot DĂ©age: "Being in a position to say who’s a whore and who’s a good girl is a power in itself within the girls’ group, a power that is strongly mobilised by certain girls. The ones who can fall, in general, are the hardest on the matter."

Rough contact and impact peak around the age of seven. This is gradually replaced by peer monitoring in the years that follow.

Isabelle Clair: "Adolescence is a very normative age. At middle school, "there's a very tough relationship to what's the right thing to do".

Margot Déage: "Physical violence is much more prevalent in elementary/primary school, then decreases in middle school, and progressively through high school."

Really now, why do people stubbornly adhere to the belief that Government entities require warrants to determine anything about you - like, where you are at this particular moment or the GPS coordinates of your location last Tuesday at 17:42hrs UTC? ... And pretty much anything else you can dream up about yourself: The content of conversations with others, everything you've purchased at anytime, what you are likely to eat for dinner this coming Friday, your medical records; you name it!

All without a warrant, even for local law enforcement.

And why would they bother, when they can just buy it from the #privacy_mining companies that you already gave it to for free?

Shame shame shame on #Mastopub, Dr. Evil, and his evil #mini_me.

Evil is as evil does.

Even Google, at one point, could not proclaim their tagline, "Don't be evil", because it had become evil itself.

Straight from the Wiki, and hot off the press, old news is still news it seems:

fediverse.wiki/wiki/The_Great_ (hint: It's more like a parking bump, but it's still used by juveniles to erase and cancel themselves today).

"Are we okay with living in a society where our comfort comes at the expense of others, atop the subjugated lives of others? The West is faced with this question in a moment of piercing clarity. It has been asked before, but in this dark hour the answer feels different. Masses of people are screaming out their answer, crying out their answer. It may fall on the closed ears and closed-off minds in the hall of power, for now, but we become harder to ignore every day. Gaza becomes harder to ignore every day." —Joshua P. Hill
