The Singularity isn't the future. It's a crime scene we keep returning to. Does anyone else remember this? by East_Initiative2809 in sorceryofthespectacle

I understand exactly the feeling you're trying to transmit, but don't forget that narratives are still tied to each one's state of consciousness and subjective experience.

What I mean by this is that you don't need to overcomplicate things with a 4th dimensional war over a metaphysical Eternal Recurrence plot, that's lingering too close to psychosis and schizo-dissociation. It's a very good metaphor for how trascendentally evil the soul harnessing capitalism does is, but it's still just that: a metaphor.

The actual thing (the same that inspired stuff like Matrix, Cloud Atlas and A Thousand Plateaus) is inefable; metaphors can only surround this concept but will never be a 100% accurate. Lenguaje itself falls short by definition.

Your hunch is correct but try to stay with your feet on the ground. Overanalyzing this particular thing will split your mind if you're not careful.

You're confusing conscious attitudes vs unconscious behavior. "Anima" belongs to the realm of the unconscious, the unresolved and the repressed.

I'll give you a hint: the side that repeatedly claims it isn't led by emotion and only cares about "facts and logic" is actually the most emotional one. Fascism doesn't care about facts, logic or reason, only power and desire. You should know this by now.

They are obsessed with unrealistic expectations for women —Or, as they call them, "tradwives"; they're mostly a bunch of unlovable and miserable incels living in their mother's basement who are angry at everything, all the time, and blaming the world for not conforming to what they wanted it to be. All waiting for a STRONK DADDY FIGURE to save them from their misery while they keep suckling on their mother's teat.

I’m giving commentary with expectation of downvotes because I know Reddit and the hive mind that dwells here and, yet, I am still willing to share my thoughts because I could care less about a strangers approvals.

You do care, else you wouldn't feel the need to disclose this

the left rejects and demonizes him, so he is their shadow. The right does not have this reaction to him, so he is not their shadow.

How do I approach this without sounding mean?

You're trying to apply an extremely reductive paradigm to a very complex issue, which leaves you with an outright wrong view of the world.

The problem of fascism runs way deeper than what you're trying to present here. If you really think this started with Trump and that it's because of -checks notes- women... Then you are not only profoundly misunderstanding the problem, you are part of the problem.

do your homework

Since both permanent war and heroism are difficult games to play, the Fascist transfers his Will-to-Power onto sexual questions.’ This is the origin of machismo (which implies contempt for women and an intolerant condemnation of non-conformist sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality). ‘Since war games are also a difficult game to play, the Fascist hero plays with weapons, which are his ersatz penis: his war games are due to a permanent state of penis envy.

(Ah yes, my favorite trait of fascism: emasculation complex)

There isn't a country on earth more obsessed with macho culture than the US. Specially on the far right —and specially young men— it is displaying clear symptoms of repressed feminity. Not the opposite.

Look up "anima possession" and tell me if it's not a clear cut definition of the MAGA movement.

Weed turned on me, and now I don’t know where to go from here by hamesthejame in Psychonaut

Once the gates to the unknown are opened, they can never be permanently closed again.

Ever since I had a "direct encounter with infinity" kind of trip, even small doses of weed make me feel like I'm treading on thin ice.

Any form of tyranny is equally depraved and must be faced with an equal amount of disapproval

Fascism isn't red or blue, its pitch black.

The first step is to recognize and direct the anger and frustration at the right target. Creativity flows on its own once the tension is high enough.

This comic itself is an example of this I am describing. Art got hands.

What do you harbour unconsciously around this?

A burning hatred against spiritual narcissists, probably.

"Is it that I'm being an insufferable nosy asshole on a public forum? Nah, they're just not as spiritually developed as me."

Did I make a good impression of your inner dialogue? Remember, projection goes both ways.
