Detonating the Base of the Intersectional Hierarchy

By being overly agreeable, people with a conservative disposition habitually make the grave mistake of conceding every seemingly harmless point up until an obviously terrible thing happens. In that moment, having conceded the terms of engagement, they have no recourse. The terms are laid out innocently, in the irresistible language of liberal universalism and personal kindness—nice people do not resist. Nice people won’t complain about the boot on their neck—or if they do, few have the temerity to really fight back.

Transgender activists know this, which is why in the mid 2010s, the language of “preferred pronouns” entered the scene. The movement’s more obviously destructive goals—to kill women’s right to free assembly and association—began with slight modification of language. How does it hurt you to call me by the name and referents I chose for myself? They asked. If it does not hurt you, then you must do it… because not doing so would hurt me. Niceness compels the use of preferred pronouns. But a request so superficially sweet escalated without resistance, over just a few years, to male felons “identifying” as women in order to rape female prisoners in penitentiaries which had been opened to them precisely to accommodate the language of delusion.

Nice people won’t bring this up in polite company. But those exhausted by this pervasive, maximally uncharitable passivity (in other words: not nice, very bad, something-phobic mean people!) should be brainstorming how to fight back. A proposal for my not-so-nice readers: dissidents should consider whether or not the same logic of subversion be applied in reverse, in the service of the truth, to a sexual/racial counterrevolution. What subtle linguistic subversions might be used in real life to unshackle oneself from the bonds of the progressive matrix, in other words, the intersectional hierarchy?

That is why we have stop dead at the smallest point - never concede anything to the SJWs. Don’t let them weaponize courtesy, compassion, and kindness against us.

[Walrus]

It starts with calling a spade a spade.

It’s hard enough to remember a person’s name. Don’t give us the added burden of trying to remember if Tootsie’s pronoun is “tes” or “sem” or “zey.” Now you can be arrested for the action of NOT using the “right” pronoun. This is a total misuse of the law.

I don’t even know what an intersection al is
