Incredible how they tied in Disney to a complete irrelevant topic on top of whatever sexist shit that was https://twitter.com/jzux/status/1421958345578090498

      The goal is to change society to not ignore and incentivize this kind of behavior by saying shit like “boys will be boys” or other weird accepting platitudes about weird shit men say. Maybe it wouldn’t help you individually but I think it’d be necessary at a society wide level. There’s a lot of unlearning we all have to do from growing up in our diseased society and honestly it’s probably not gonna work on most of us, it’s really to start moving the needle for future generations

          Well I’m sorry you had to deal Woth that stuff comrade. Sounds like you have a unique set of circumstances, relatively speaking, and not exactly the kind of person I was thinking of.

          But I should say the concept if re-education needn’t be like how liberals frame, as in an authority handing down life lessons or whatever to reactionary subjects. I think it would or should be more of a pedagogical and dialogic form if societal therapy wherein everyone participates to help rid us all of reactionary ideology, and individualism, strengthening our bonds as a community. Perhaps something like should be made to make space for people in your situation to help you feel more comfortable around and communally minded with and toward women comrades and stuff.

              We all have em, it’s only through dialogue, mutual understanding, and healthy self crit that we can realize and excise them. We’re def not in a position to do anything as grand scale as I’m imagining but hopefully one day. In the mean time we’re able to do smaller scale versions just by engaging with our comrades and educating ourselves as we go. Which were already doing so let’s just keep it up :stalin-approval:

              I disagree tbh, capital already shapes our society with their own form of indoctrination, I’m just advocating for imposing less reactionary edicts on people in a similar way once the left is in control. Doesn’t necessarily need to take place in a generation but concerted efforts can be made to improve things. China’s cultural revolution clearly didn’t weed out everything they or we might consider undesirable or reactionary in their mass culture but I imagine it got the ball rolling.

              We are clearly going to have to do some concerted efforts to undo capitalist/reactionary programming that the masses have received
