People always talk about importance of patriarchy for social replication of capitalism, about how capitalism is always going to buck against any attempts at social progress. But I dunno, neoliberalism has been pretty effective at integrating some forms of feminism and gay rights into its polite society, so I feel at some point a lot of bigotry isn't so much material relations, but just a thing of habit...
So I guess my question is, what exactly are those material conditions and why are they making people reactionary on social issues?
Wait what is this new Yorker article?
It's not actually New Yorker, but New York Magazine, whatever that is.
"Cancelled at 17", bemoaning the fate of some kid who got a bit of a side eye for sharing naked photos of his girlfriend at a party.
Wow
I haven't read it so don't take me at my word. Most people on my tl are angry about it, some are trying their hand at contrarian takes, getting the former even angrier.
We never left the whole Anti-SJW phase of the internet, if the mainstream view is now demanding someone who did something like that to be forgiven.
Rightoids: "Be as awful as you want, because the real terrible people are those who hold grudges!"
The other gut beat me to it. Despite being a stereotypical "rich people" magazine, the New Yorker has been surprisingly based.
