IDENTITY POLITICS IS INFANTILE REGRESSION
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong the idea that there are eternally fixed "oppressors" who owe us their feelings of guilt to make us feel better
- LeeAnne Fourcrows Hensley And that doesn't solve anything. That doesn't stop any cycle of wrongdoing.
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong some feminists think all males are necesarily oppresors
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong no, it is an immature way of thinking. Its the idea that if they feed off nourishing milk, they will never be oppressors themselves. But they already are
- LeeAnne Fourcrows Hensley I see. In the same way, perhaps, that all white people are pro-slavery.
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong like "infants" can't be oppressors! I'm an eternal infant! Take care of me and change my diapers
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong only the big bad adults are evil
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong power relations are evil
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong but children just want to be fed and taken care of
- LeeAnne Fourcrows Hensley Yes, and those of us who lead "normal" lives are part of an evil, conformist machine. So the "freakier" a person is, the more a true human being they are.
- LeeAnne Fourcrows Hensley ^That's actually something grown-up infants use to excuse the fact that they're totally irresponsible and unreliable.
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong You've got it!
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong actually the more they freak out, the more pure their soul. They are trying to call you to pay attention to the only issues that matter
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong and they will punish you if you don't pay attention - not because they "want to"hurt you, but because they are very, very moral
- LeeAnne Fourcrows Hensley Yes. Because, since they're not part of this conformist machine, they can see things that the rest of us can't. So it's up to them to do us the favor of telling us what matters.
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong to make us feel bad and guilty if we go our own ways
- LeeAnne Fourcrows Hensley They're just doing divine work, of course. They must edify us because we are wrong.
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong and gain control over our consciences, and punish us until we're crying like a baby too
- LeeAnne Fourcrows Hensley They have these exhausting lives of having to keep everyone on the right path, so we should be grateful to them for taking the time to correct us.
- Jennifer Frances Armstrong it's all about narcissistic control.
