One liners (II): a thread of cheap thrills

Baudrillard perfectly captured the feeling of modernity when he referred to our state of affairs as “after the orgy” we have seen liberation in every sphere: political, sexual, and social. Women, Art, unconscious drives—all are free! Baudrillard’s question is: what now?
Baudrillard noticed, before any reactionary blogger uttered such a critique, that we are now caught in a perpetual simulation and re-enactment of the revolutionary liberation that has long passed
When younger people resent “the boomers” one gets the sense that what they resent most of all is that they have MISSED the orgy, and now they can’t discern their parents from the crowd.
After the orgy comes the gender war. I do not call it the sex war because let’s bite a bullet, gender is only mostly correlated with sex, and lefty males are spiritual women, and THEY KNOW IT which is why they are so sympathetic to gender
Since the dawn of agriculture at least—female historians of both sexes tell us—we have been living in Men’s world, where women were brutally subjugated by men. Women’s liberation is the total reversal of this, a vengeful subjugation of men. This is dubious but let’s lean into it

The relatively static norms in our society have been called by the names of change and progress. Most people are conservative by nature, so they conform to the norm of \u201cprogress.\u201d Because of this sleight of hand, deeply conservative people believe themselves to be revolutionaries

Most dissident political opinion is driven by resentment of the opposite sex.

Leftwingness is primarily female and is driven by resentment towards men.
Rightwingness is primarily male and is driven by resentment towards women.
