that’s a nice argument, cockshott. why don’t you back it up with a source.

scientific socialism is when you misread poststructuralists. the more you misread poststructuralists the more scientific it is

anyway yeah i am having to very deliberately not read an njr take rn, it’s not worth it lol

i say “try” because, formally speaking, he was literally not allowed to, though that did not stop him from booting the staff from the slack and sending insulting emails talking about how he knew in his heart he just wanted to be in charge of the thing

Show thread

maybe njr should have had an editor review the emails he sent when trying to fire his full time staff

him having made a fuckton of money over the past year is not

Show thread

if he did it to avoid having to do the apawlogy video the NLRB demanded of him then honestly that’s pretty funny

i can’t believe the gorbachev pizza hut ad is a real thing that actually happened lmao

from earlier:

In this section we move on to the ideas of an influential philosopher who has written about gender : Judith Butler. One of the novel and ambitious hypotheses put forward by Butler is that not only gender, but sex itself is a social construct.

she literally quotes other feminists for raising this idea oh my fucking god

Show thread

The claim, by Butler, that sex can not be known about or, even exist,
prediscursively is testable.

oh no

An elegant study [Lederberg et al., 1986] proves conclusively that Butler is wrong. Were the Butler hypothesis true, deaf children would be unable to distinguish boys from girls.

WHAT

The researchers monitored deaf and hearing children aged 3 to 5 in terms of their preferences for same sex versus opposite sex playmates. The children were observed at playgroups and the time spent playing with same and opposite gender children was recorded. Both hearing and deaf children showed a clear preference for same sex play partners.

this disproves Butler how???????
