>Feminism is for everyone
Despite most fragments of this "movement" being openly hostile to men and masculinity, we will retreat from criticism by claiming that feminism is a synonym for egalitarianism and subsequently turn the blade back on you for being bigoted against women.
>Kindness is everything
You are not allowed to disagree with anything on this sign because they are all "kind" statements on the surface. You must ignore any and all baggage.
Gonna Tedpost again tonight because it's relevant:
>213. Because of their need for rebellion and for membership in a movement, leftists or persons of similar psychological type often are unattracted to a rebellious or activist movement whose goals and membership are not initially leftist. The resulting influx of leftish types can easily turn a non-leftist movement into a leftist one, so that leftist goals replace or distort the original goals of the movement.
>219. Leftism is a totalitarian force. Wherever leftism is in a position of power it tends to invade every private corner and force every thought into a leftist mold.

I don't know if I would call it a work OF cynicism, but it certainly is a philosophical dissection of industrial capitalism and how it has impacted human society.

His underlying argument seems to be that, while it would still be bad, it's the lesser of two evils. He's basically calling for a grand trade-off of technological comfort in exchange for the true autonomy (and chaos) found in nature.
