My brain is literally :ohnoes: right now reading this. This is genuine self harm. Send :blob-help: .
No they want you to be a complacent neoliberal subject, your gender literally plays no part in that so long as you contribute to the system. If anything Christine was an outlier, she is mentally unwell, unable to contribute to the economy via such traditional things like buying a home, a car, starting a family, she was dependent on welfare which capitalists absolutely detest. So no, red pill morons, society does not in fact want you to be Christine, as always you people are fucking wrong.
It's good to be reminded that these people exist and continue to be wrong about literally everything.

She's a spectacle and spectacles have their role to play in neoliberalism, too.
The fact that she's not "productive" is counter to neoliberalism. But her role as this social target for hate and fear generates all sorts of value for the neoliberal state. The whole RedPill screed illustrates as much. Fixating people who are unhappy with their lives on an internet pinata helps mystify the economic system and terrify people into alienation.
But even beyond that, I think Contrapoints tackled the issue well in Cringe. Its just becoming another variation of the clout economy. Rather than becoming the spectacle (a la the Hammer City guy) you pick someone out as your punching bag spectacle and build clout through exaggerated outrage. Rush Limbaugh's career was heavily predicated on this technique.
Transition costs 150.000$ for each person. 0.6% of the population are trans. US has a population of 328 million people, 0.6% of it comes down to about 2 million people. 300 billion dollars, much higher than how much the entire cinema industry is worth a year in the US.
Oh that's such a classic error! This asshole is essentially saying that every trans person transitions every year. Yes, I definitely need to get another hysterectomy next year because my uterus is definitely going to grow back.
Also like a lot of trans people can’t do medical transition at that level anyway bc of lack of money. I assume they think all trans people are rich fail children neets.
Failure to adhere to gender norms is just something the bourgeois do to be decadent, don't you know? It's all just hedonism and right-thinking Puritanical Americans know that feeling good is bad aktuly.
Any deviation from the hetero-normative spartan lifestyle is luxury. And no, don't ask how the Generals live. Get back to your barracks and start doing push-ups soldier. Questioning the norms is a sign of weakness and treachery.
They want you buying all of their bullshit products, They want you working a dead-end job, and spending all of your money and time on consumption.
If he’d get rid of all the other brain rot and start here he might make some progress
(As long as they ends up meaning capitalists obviously and not Jews as another comrade pointed out)
Part of the problem is this endless consumption of social media. Dude's already alienated and filling the void with parasocial YouTube/Podcast relationships.
Eventually, its the "consumerism bad" that will fall away, because consumerism is the only mechanism he's got to access the outside world.
I can't really think of anyone who wants you to be a rapist, other than TRP.
Is there a brief recap of the whole C.Chan story that isn't just a POS chud bullying her for having autism?
