RE: The War on Love

in #life7 years ago

They Live is a great Marxist film and everyone should watch it.

Love and emotions were outlawed in BNW, not because they wanted to avoid hurting people's feelings, but because they wanted to maintain an emotionally absent population.

Your point about consent is odd because you use a critique of 'snowflake' society. You're only source to prove that somehow there's a 'Big Sister' (which I'm assuming you really just mean feminism) is a link to a campus reform article.

Two things about that.

First, the article itself suggests no official policy by the campus, but is just a picture of a display in a dorm hall. The University even said that the display was put up by an RA. Most universities have 'language policies' these days, yes. But to suggest that trying to educate people about why 'illegal alien' or certain words are offensive is equivalent to some kind of Orwellian language police is absurd. It's a false equivalency. The article too is written in an blatantly hyperbolic fashion. It's obvious there's not actually a story present, and the writer REALLY has to stretch it that some kind of massive injustice is occurring.

Really, it seems like the writer of that article is a snowflake. Which brings me to the second point. Campusreform, a far-right website devoted to using loaded terms, bases itself on being offended about people being offended. I think this is a great example of the absurdity that plays itself out in America and the internet these days.

Someone says dumb shit, gets called out for it, and instead of owning it, that someone responds by calling everyone else a snowflake.

I think there's a real attack on relationships, like you suggest in your article, but I don't think the problem is people being easily offended.

Sort:  

Big Sis is the "nanny state" (which is a term, just like Big Brother.. There isn't really a brother or a sibling there it's just an experession)

I made it clear by even linking an old post about the Nanny state.

At no point I even spoke about feminism, nor I don't see what relationship does that have with the article.

We're all humans, and all humans should be able to experience love and love whomever human they wish.

Have a great day.
