wow. might i suggest you Read Some Freud, Scrubby McScrub

actually i accepted our current roommate because she was reading a book about freud's ideas on parapsychology when she moved in. im just saying i, for instance, am not afraid of castration. in a sense, the state of the world is a castration.

Thank you. I humbly accept my victorious election win this season. Thanks to my staff for having the sense to work for me. I promise to be as fair a mod as I can be while still censoring non-Trot ideologies and anything remotely memetic, with exception to T-paine who is allowed to post only memes.

transthoughts: almost anything seems irrational when you put it under the microscope, because life is irrational. like our days are filled with a constant search to feel attractive emotions because we have receptors that make this desirable. if you look for a perfectly rational outlook on life you aren't going to find it because its craziness all the way down.

i keep on coming back in my head to veblen's idea of private property as originating with captive women; if thats the case all politics and economy is necessarily libidinal, a eunuch class is needed to ensure its maintenance free from the flows of desire maybe? iono

the Qing court never stopped castrating people and the practice only ended after the 1912 revolution. the very last palace eunuch died a few years ago iirc

goatstein has more regressive gender politics than islamist iran



iran uses transgender quackery for its original intended purpose in the west in the 1950s, to heterosexualize homosexual men with the side benefit of castrating them

yes. pretty much any appeal to rationalism is an appeal to brutishness and coercion over human dignity

Early on, castration consisted of daubing a boy's genitals with human feces and having a dog bite them off.
