Nihilism, the loss of all higher values. In the state of nihilism the only thing left is the brute fact of suffering and the only thing that appears worthwhile to the nihilist is to eliminate suffering.
But suffering is one of the conditions of life, to oppose suffering per se, is to oppose life.
"Behind the Theory that has become a compulsory subject in so many university degrees is a Dialectical Faith that does not take the problems of order, of making things work, seriously."
But that is because 'order' must necessarily suppress that which would undermine order. There is no order without suppression/oppression of some kind. The only thing that could justify such oppression (suffering) is the belief in some higher purpose. But that is precisely what we now lack.
For me, behind it all is Nietzsche and the death of god.
I agree with your idea of women promoting “the salience of emotional conformity”. But there is also the issue that all these women in the workplace have material interests in keeping their jobs, and they help each other. So this underlies the female unanimity on ideological issues. Woe betide the woman who does not toe the ideological line!
Hanania's Option 1 is aptly summarized by the old school online taunt "tits or gtfo". In online spaces claiming to be a woman is to claim female privilege and deference. Fight like a man or be a woman. Choose one.
Like the acting SECDEF from the PuertoGon ®️ (Puerto Rico Pentagon) where Grrl power acting SECDEF* ran when Lloyd Austin got plugged into the wall.
… my problem Ladies is your phonies, you’re fake. I carry women round on my back daily in my job. They’re not my wife. Or boss, just coworkers. This is most offices where you are in any numbers.
… but it’s a lot more serious when you’re in charge and it’s life or death, moreover you’re good at driving men out, or demoralizing them. That’s it. You are the Daughters of the Derrida Revolution, you deconstruct.
Congratulations on your victory.
Now defend it.
You defend it.
We can’t.
All yours.
*What is interesting here is her running away when Lloyd Austin started to go. That’s fear.
Your writing is very clear and your points (all of which are good) well made.
Certainly women have been handed too much power.
But they are really only acting as administrative enforcers of regime ideology, not as a centre of power on their own account (for women this is perfectly satisfying--the comfort and safety of total control in a well delimited and familiar domain without ultimate responsibility).
In Australia the transfer of managerial control from men to women (and womanish men) and the submerging of the Anglo fairplay/meritocratic ethos would have been impossible without mass non-Anglo (ok Anglo-Celtic...ok let's say broadly NW European) immigration. It wasn't the *only* enabling factor (technology etc. too obv), but it was the sine qua non.

Daughters of The Derrida Revolution.
You were overpromoted to collapse the structure.
You can’t bear the load.
Intersectionality theory to my understanding is just that bingo. The hierarchy of the so called oppressed.

Excellent as usual. Thank you Lorenzo
Women rule !

What are they so afraid of in DC?

"Expect everyone to abide by female standards, meaning we care less about truth "
That's making a big assumption about what is "truth".
