which is crucial. You can be a nigger and still pretend capital is nothing but the monetary gain made out of labor for the bourgeois, but then of course you will not understand how trannies became co-opted by all big corporations and establishment.

There should be no denying that gendre deconstructionist hat genuine beginnings sort of like female empowerment for rights and independance or an individual's search for true identity had genuine even righteous roots.
But as soon as technological society gets a hold of it, since its populance become entangled in this (still) genuine idea, it absorbs it and then to make it congurent with itself changes the goals and motivs of the people who believe it to fit technological society, which is always only in connection with producing capital.
The tele of the people (since they are necessarily under the boot of technological society, even in their attempt to break out of it) have their enterprise changed and moulded to fit the means of technological society. What started as genuine at this point has completely changed its face and its original goals have become obfuscated and changed into whatever fits best to produce capital.

Anything technological society gets a hold on inherently gets corrupted to its end if even the image it continues to promulgate is somehow "usurping the status quo" (which it never cares about if the status quo actually starts to threaten capital; which means the usurping idea never actual threatened the actual status quo, but jsut another liminal phase); for example: Tranny and nigger lives being supported and espoused by ALL major corporations and worst of all the state itself.

what >>16851516 anon said is absolutely correct. and if you somehow believe
> academics are part of the optimisation process for capital.
not to be true you are helplessly delusional in academias actual and only influence.
