If you accept the premises of scientific racism, that pretty much requires you to embrace policy written by sadists in turn. Not worthwhile.

Dumb thought: The Larouchites and Patsoc crowd are basically just doing an edgier version of what guys like Matt Yglesias do in selling conservative policy as left wing policy.

Establishing that physical abuse and corporal punishment are normal early in life sets an expectation that high control institutions can exploit later in life. (Culture, political parties, religion, employers, etc.)

Ultimately a key cog in the same machine of uniformity that foists strict gender roles, heteronormativity, neurotypical-first culture and so on upon us.

If everyone is passively conditioned to behave in a tightly controlled way under threat of force by their ostensible guardians in youth, it’s not gonna seem unusual when various power players play off that same dynamic later in life.

Notably, this creates cycles of abuse as abused children go on to abuse their children - a self-reinforcing dynamic. Quite convenient for the aforementioned high control institutions.

I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen anyone call the idea of imaginary numbers "new math" or "woke" yet

From what I understand of my dad, he was a pretty decent guy. He died in an accident about 25 years ago. What memories I have are pleasant, going over old photos suggests he was genuinely liked, and the surviving family have only ever spoken positively of him.

I’d have potentially been a better, less bitter person overall if he was still around.

Grown so stupid and decrepit that they lack even basic self preservation. Honestly begging to have their asses handed to them, but nobody around here has what it takes.

Part of the problem with resistance as an aesthetic is that anyone can spin themselves as the resistance regardless of what position they actually occupy.
