The feminisation of gender nonconformity says a lot about the hegemony of the patriarchy given an entire half of our species is "othered" so hard that even those who reject the binary find refuge in femininity due to the shared struggle of living in a hyper-masculine world
The privilege of believing this comes from a lifetime of guaranteed necessities at the expense of the global south whereby your abstract notion of 'personal liberty' supersedes ensuring the material needs of the exploited masses. Anarchism is a deeply narcissistic ideology
I didn't know this was fucking possible but my mattress physics somehow lined up perfectly last night so that whenever the blood vessels in my head pulsated, the consequent vibrations made my bed's wooden headboard twitch every time. I couldn't end it. It drove me nuts.
We are in dire need of a new Marx in the coming decades. Capitalism has become so culturally dominant in an era where information functions fundamentally differently to the 19th century that the great thinkers' strategy has become insufficient and outdated. This is incontestable.
How can you practice Marxism in unions when unions are legally recognised by the state? It's not the 19th century anymore where joining a union was seen as a personal insult to capitalists and broken by the cops.
The fundamentals of historical materialism have naturally been vindicated over and over again, and the core science of Marxism is eternal, but the consequential analysis derived from it by subsequent thinkers have all been constrained by them being products of their time
Marxism, like any other science, is an evolving one, and unwavering stubbornness to historical analysis and strategy is a failure in both iteration and cognitive flexibility. Dogmatism is inconducive to human development, but at least, like all things, it is dialectical. Prayge
Ethical thought experiment: You sublet your apartment for half a year. It is fully furnished with new furniture and appliances and you will be likely moving & reselling it all within a year of returning. Should you charge a minor (<10%) fee on top of your rent for wear & tear?
A security deposit will be taken and returned in full without significant problems arising so the excess charge would be entirely for it being a furnished version of the apartment you're liable for at a similar price but with furniture resale value depreciating.
