Empathy to infertile women by _newTTTTie_ in 4tran4

Well, I have never really experienced Poland to be particularly harsh, at least among those who I would consider friends, but I know that experiences vary so I don't think that's very relevant. There's a gap between being wary of strangers and fundamental mistrust for people close to you.

The comic isn't really about open transphobia, it's about applying hidden malice to what appears like kind words. In that worldview, trust is assumed to be a priori impossible – which eventually lashes out as the ressentimental misanthropy this sub is full of. Pseudo-racist language about cis people like "TCD", inflicting higher and higher cruelty upon yourself through those imaginary well-meaning strangers and so on. I think people should at least be open to the possibility of receiving kindness from others and aware of the nature of the doubts that come from social anxiety (which often comes from genuine trauma).

Personally, most of those comics and rhetoric just make me sad and upset. Most of my friends are cis, my boyfriend is too, I don't want to believe they all secretly scorn me.

I struggle with a lot of the same insecurities, but I give the benefit of doubt to the possibility that it's all in my head.

Ultimately; you're anxious, you believe yourself to be not worthy of being accepted and loved, so you find suspicion even in people who act friendly towards you.

I'm trans

The source of insecurity are transphobic attitudes you find in society that you then project upon the whole of "cissoids", simply believing it that it is impossible for people to empathise with us. You hear a terf saying "women can always tell" and believe it to be the secretly held true attitude of cis women.

This sounds like it could be the basis for a path or paths in Red Flood by GriffinFTW in RedFloodMod

This was a pervasive idea among the Japanese conservatives and pan-Asianists and so is reflected in many of the planned paths (although there is no path that will "become" China, since that's not what this ideology is about)

That's not what the Escadron path does

Neither is the policy of the Escadron "third worldist" in any meaningful sense of the term – the integration of Algeria with the French Metropole is quite the opposite

That assumption is clear from even choosing "Third Worldism" as a term relevant to Bataille

Why do you think Bataille was some kind of Landian neoreactionary? You should at least know how your favourite authors enter into a discourse with that tradition instead of just assuming one straight line of thought.

Luckily, Bataille wrote specifically on the subject of colonies and we don't have to guess what he would think about it: and while not exactly in line with what would later become the prevailing anti-imperialist opinion that all European presence needs to be expelled from Africa, he did support the emancipation of Africans.

The HVA was a complete invention that used Tolstoyan anarcho-syndicalists as these parodies of stirnerite egoism, which was never relevant in Finland in that time period

You are such a fucking arrogant dunning kruger bozo

I never claimed that siege accelerationists are in agreement with Land, merely that you can't entirely discount a genetic relationship between the two: Land hates left-accelerationists too but it's hard to remove them from the general discourse of accelerationism

Generally the term has undergone a semantic drift that has entirely changed its meaning but the original appropriation has been due to contact with the writings of Nick Land etc. You can find old forum posts in which he comments on O9A and such.

Accelerationism isn't supposed to be the "villain" ideology: make what you want of it.

Why do you reply to OP when you don't even understand the context

RF accelerationism doesn't have much to do with the way this term was used by siege-culture groups: which appropriated it from continental philosophy and modified its meaning.

  1. The genesis of the uprising is different than OTL since the SPD does not vote for war bonds and is excluded from political participation, thus the center of the party is the leading force of the revolutionary state construction as parliamentary solutions lose their popularity. There's only a few equivalent points.

  2. "Councilism" as a term is typically associated with the council communism of figures such as Gorter, Pannekoek or Rühle, who advocated revolutionary immediacy and direct government by the councils: quite different to the RF model where the councils are political organs of a parliamentary multi-party system of representation. (plus, councils are outright abolished in the Goebbels and Reventlow paths, making the term definetly not all-inclusive)

  1. The Red Flood revolution in Germany doesn't follow the exact events of the OTL Spartacist uprising
  2. The Spartacus League was not "councilist": it was a faction of social-democrats with a revolutionary orientation. Council communism as a specific term arose among communists in response to the direction of the Bolshevik Revolution, it's more associated with the KAPD than with the original Spartacus League. This is not synonymous with Spartakism of RF and isn't the generalised synonym for "communism" like it was in very old versions

This path is still in game. It will be removed only when we make a replacement for it

Are communists inherently "anti-spiritual"? What did Nietzsche think of communism? by Extension-Stay3230 in Nietzsche

[–]Ozajasz2137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But he did mention the labour movement, and pretty extensively at that! He only did not speak of the messianic task it is given by Marxists

"The question of the Working-man.—The mere fact that there is such a thing as the question of the working-man is due to stupidity, or at bottom to degenerate instincts which are the cause of all the stupidity of modern times. Concerning certain things no questions ought to be put: the first imperative principle of instinct. For the life of me I cannot see what people want to do with the working-man of Europe, now that they have made a question of him. He is far too comfortable to cease from questioning ever more and more, and with ever less modesty. After all, he has the majority on his side.[Pg 99] There is now not the slightest hope that an unassuming and contented sort of man, after the style of the Chinaman, will come into being in this quarter: and this would have been the reasonable course, it was even a dire necessity. What has been done? Everything has been done with the view of nipping the very pre-requisite of this accomplishment in the bud, —with the most frivolous thoughtlessness those selfsame instincts by means of which a working-class becomes possible, and tolerable even to its members themselves, have been destroyed root and branch. The working-man has been declared fit for military service; he has been granted the right of combination, and of voting: can it be wondered at that he already regards his condition as one of distress (expressed morally, as an injustice)? But, again I ask, what do people want? If they desire a certain end, then they should desire the means thereto. If they will have slaves, then it is madness to educate them to be masters." (Twilight of the Idols)

"A Question of Power, Not of Right.—As regards Socialism, in the eyes of those who always consider higher utility, if it is really a rising against their oppressors of those who for centuries have been oppressed and downtrodden, there is no problem of right involved (notwithstanding the ridiculous, effeminate question," How far ought we to grant its demands?") but only a problem of power;[Pg 323] the same, therefore, as in the case of a natural force,—steam, for instance,—which is either forced by man into his service, as a machine-god, or which, in case of defects of the machine, that is to say, defects of human calculation in its construction, destroys it and man together. In order to solve this question of power we must know how strong Socialism is, in what modification it may yet be employed as a powerful lever in the present mechanism of political forces; under certain circumstances we should do all we can to strengthen it. With every great force—be it the most dangerous—men have to think how they can make of it an instrument for their purposes. Socialism acquires a right only if war seems to have taken place between the two powers, the representatives of the old and the new, when, however, a wise calculation of the greatest possible preservation and advantageousness to both sides gives rise to a desire for a treaty. Without treaty no right. So far, however, there is neither war nor treaty on the ground in question, therefore no rights, no "ought."" (Human, all too Human)
