In the days after Donald Trump was elected president, a South Korean feminist movement is capturing young women’s interest on social media.
You're viewing a single thread.
ok so. I like the concept, it's a good way to move.
HOWEVER there is one big problem. We can't use this emotionally inflammatory rhetoric, because it's what the right thrives on. You can quote me on this later, but i guarantee you if the right sees this they will call it "sexual eugenics" or something stupid.
literally all you have to do to make this a fully marketable and unbeatable position is to treat it like econ 101. Social interaction is most often based on simple contractual obligations. Those in question here, have failed, and thus, it is no longer contractually valid.
"the market for sex is simply untenable culturally, and in terms of healthcare, completely fucked. I no longer plan on having casual sex anytime soon" and suddenly it's like 50x more reasonable and palatable than the previous statement.
and before anybody tells me "oh well it's good for attention and marketing" yeah, if you want to spread the entirely wrong message. just look at the bear vs man debacle that happened a while ago.
although you have to be careful because the right will probably just tell you that this is the point, at least the religious part of it, in which case being inflammatory isn't going to do shit anyway. Tough times we live in now, i guess.Americans value the speed and simplicity of a message over accuracy or nuance.
Both parties used that to their advantage to post out of context clips, something that I would consider manipulative at best.

i really wish more people would do literally anything to not get got by this low level bullshit lmao. It's so silly that people care so much about problems, but so little about information sources, or accuracy, or even factual nature.
People who are in an excited emotional state just aren't going to do well thinking that stuff through.
I'm not immune to it either, I just dont have tiktok or facebook at all to avoid it.

i suppose so, but it literally only takes one "is this actually true?" to check to see if it's true. If people are as "skeptical" as they claim to be about mainstream media, i fail to see how they don't understand that google exists and is useful in the 21st century. Though to be fair, it's harder to use now.
I'm definitely not immune to it either, but i operate on a strictly factual basis, so it's really hard for me to get caught up in propaganda.

The right will make up its own inflammatory fantasies if there are none, just like it makes up stories about immigrants eating pets. It happens either way. Stop letting them control your strategies, it's EXTREMELY UNWISE.
yeah but the problem here is twofold, if we do it ourselves, they will accuse us of being what they say we are. If we do not, they will make up their own, and pretend like it's happening.
It's the anti fascist problem. If you're anti fascist, you're just fascist against fascism. There is no way to combat fascism without more fascism.
There isn't a good solution here, unfortunately.

Stop being defined by fascists.
you sort of inherently have to define yourself under fascism, in a system with fascists, otherwise you are under control of the fascists. Because they can do your game better than you can, because they started first. So you really don't have many options other than holding either, the power, or the intellectual upperhand, which isn't even a guarantee either. Since again, reality doesn't matter to fascists.
When you let them define you, that is already control. This isn't about "reality", it's about social control.
If I tell you that "only bad people demand higher wages" and you accept their definition of bad people, we have a problem.
