Are there are any pop philosophy or pop literature channels worse than 'him'? Seems like he is the embodiment of Reddit, I suppose it is fitting as no one on Reddit reads.
All similar channels seem very low quality also, and full of very normie opinions

Maybe Vaush, but they are both so insufferable that I'd rather take a bullet administered to my forehead than watch any of their videos fully from beginning to end.

It’s literally schizophrenia they have no rational basis for their ontological claims. If all it means to be something is to “feel inside” that you are, then one can “transition” into anything.
I “feel inside” I’m a black man, so I’m going to get surgery to inflate my lips, enlarge my nostrils, blacken my skin, and so on, then I will talk with a black accent in Ebonics, say nigga, state as an objective truth that I am black, and expect everyone to treat me that way.
What do you think my local black barbershop would have to say about that?

What is this godawful style that they all have? I mean the purple neon shit. Even if the content would be great (which it obviously isn't), the style of the videos make them unwatchable for me. I also think it's funny they claim to talk about philosophy, and then 99% of all the videos are about trans rights or socialism, it just seems so boring and narrow. I almost feel like nobody that's truly interested in philosophy would like this.

Isn't transgenderism as many leftists/progressives conceptualize it just a return to the essentialism that queer/gender theory was first thought to escape?—the idea of being born into the "wrong" body, of ending the "false" performance [direct contradiction with Butler?] and expressing one's authentic inner-self somehow free from the play of culture.

[Anonymous No.17423900]

>>17423812
That coming out video was the most egotistical shit I’ve seen in my life. If gender identity is such a simple thing and being a transwoman is the same as being a woman, as they claim, what is the need for the whole theatre performance? The whole video was just “me me me, muh individual identity, me me I’m an individual this is who I am, I’m happy now being who I am, me me me me meeee!!” It’s like distilled narcissism.

They don’t say it’s free from the play of culture they say it’s the role they like to embody. I guess that contradicts their idea of “being who I really am!” idea though.

The blackface comparison is interesting, given the King and Dolezal controversy a few years ago. Wouldn't be surprised if transracial is a big thing in a few years.

Not really. You can imagine that gender is merely a performative role but that someone feels better playing one role than another.

[Anonymous No.17423968]

>>17423945
This. If gender is merely performative and you're conforming to that role because that's how you feel, then it's just sentimentalism and not authentic in the ontological sense, nor is it epistemologically sound either. It all goes back to what this anon >>17423855 was saying. Transgenderism has no metaphysical grounding.

You could make that case. Many claim it is a medical necessity though, which infers a gendered essence.

Of course he would, he purged all the soft, humanistic aspects of the party just like every other leftists does when they come to power.

His actions and thought helped cause this degeneration though, even if he himself was socially conservative. A reduction of all to materialistic thought will of course breed mental illness

Because hes still male so his (this also applies to Contrapoints btw) perception of women is still that of a male, causing him to do this dumb shit. He has, if only subconsciously, noticed that women ARE self indulgent, narcissistic, and fake and thus when he larps as a woman he behaves like his brain imagines women to behave.

That doesn't answer my question though. Are there any ideological alternatives to when it comes to the far-left? This is a serious question and I want to know, because I can name several alternatives of the far-right that aren't naatsoc, some of which are opposed to each other (ex. Traditionallism, Ecofascism, NRx/acc, Prometheism, Archeofuturism, National/Racial/Religious Identitarianism).

no, sex is biological, gender is social
males have a y chromosome, a penis, testicles etc.
a man has short hair, wears trousers, doesn't shave his legs
obviously if a male loses their penis and testicles in an accident they are still a male
similarly a man shaving his legs to be a better cyclist is still a man
but we all understand that the social construct of man has boundaries outside of which is 'not man'
you make masculine or feminine choices not because you want to but because you are compelled to
if a female is compelled to make choices which all exist within the masculine boundaries of gender then they are as much a man as a male who makes the same choices
the only valid debate is that what is sex and what is gender

the same thing cannot be said of race because race cannot be seperated in biological and social in the same way sex and gender can
you cannot make a purely social definition of race, nor can you make a purely biological one
