People radicalized to insane culture war bullshit and irrational solipsistic oblivion cults can't really be negotiated with.
Institutions will never fix anything.
Intense atomization and alienation keep us from creating society with one another. There's no time to do anything complicated; most of us work too much. You just get home and youre exhausted.
So; gun.
You realize that it sounds like you're talking referring to trans people and allies in this comment right? Just to be clear, which group are you referring to?
'oblivion cults' makes it clear they're talking about right-wingers
No, Right Wingers use that exact language as well. What they posted sounds a lot like vague posting to me.
Naw. 'Oblivion cults' is very clearly referencing doomsday 'christians', the Evangelical sort that are common in America. They want the world to end, they think they'll be raptured into heaven.
They're also idiots, if the rapture happens, they're not coming; they are the equivalent of the Pharisees that Jesus whipped, and Revelation specifically mentions them, and that they are fools
Right Wingers love to coop language. I've heard some that language used in GameGate circles. They love referring to the inclusion of minorities in games with hyperbola.
