With bans.
Sometimes, it’s worse than ban. It’s shadow ban.
I have a feeling that YouTube has this particular behavior where, if my comment was simple and trollish, it’s visible for everyone to see. But if it contains proper analysis that combat the propaganda, it’s invisible.
I have tweaked my Twitter feed to show me only Touhou, anime, and programming. Occasionally, posts from American politics show up, but I would mute the account immediately.
This guy is preoccupied with combating religions, in so doing, he attacks the cultural identities of religious people. As a consequence, he is unable to convince or rally religious people for good cause. He is as detrimental to social harmony as religious fundamentalism.
He is the epitome of a stereotypical Western leftist, who enjoys debating on ideas inconsequential but shy away from taking stance on issues that actually matter.
Thank you for your answer. It was both excellent and humbling. I realize now that my discipline in dialectical materialism has been lacking.
I had asked you guys to prove me wrong from the very first comment. Unfortunately, the answers I received are a bit unconvincing.
Maybe the document you provide can change my world view, but I must take my time to read it first.
Gender is a social construct often upheld by patriarchal societal standards. The being of a man or a woman comes with many societal expectations, and quite a lot of people don’t agree with that.
Do you mean “gender role”?
Patriarchal societies often have different expectations for people of different biological sex. A Confucian society would expect a man to follow the Son of Heaven and a woman to follow her father or husband. This is gender role, and gender equality means the abolishment of gender roles.
I don’t think I can agree with conflating the concept of “gender” and “gender role”.
Now, I only want to comment on the gender aspect as I am sure that you, master observer that you are, can acknowledge stuff like intersex people existing, who are born with both sets of genitals for example.
After some thought, I think I see your point. If one considers intersex a biological sex then their true gender should be separate from their sex. Is that what you were trying to convey?
Now, gender as we know it now has evolved in capitalist societies
Please tell me what the concept of gender was like in other societies. Be it Medieval Europe or Imperial China or whatever society you are familiar with.
Non binary people, for example, have been around since the beginning of mankind and have even been acknowledged by historic societies.
Please provide me documents. I may take my time to research them.
Happiness and sadness are easy to comprehend because all humans experience it. Their biological mechanisms have also been studied and partially understood by science. “Gender feelings”, not so much. Let put it this way: How can a biological male, who was never a female, know the feeling he feels is that of a woman?
What is “feeling like a man”? What is “feeling like a woman”? What is the biological mechanism that determine these feelings?
I can observe a person who has near death experience telling me they met god. Should I take it as face value?
A person telling you, “I feel like a woman” today but next week telling you “I feel like a man” is something that can be observed.
I don’t think my society is willing to accept such fickleness, even if we are willing to accept transgender.
“72 genders” is incomprehensible to me too, and I believe that it is incomprehensible and illogical to most people in the world who are not familiar with the West.
The crux of the issue lies in the separation of the concept “gender” and “sex”. Wheras “sex” is material and observable, “gender” (as defined by Western leftists[1]) is anything but. It is measured by having the person “identifies” themselves as one.
But if a concept is not observable and not material, how is it different from a god? Should we, who adhere to dialectical materialism and scientific principals, see it as anything of worth?
Or maybe I am wrong, maybe the fluid gender can be objectively measured as a material concept with observable effects. If you think I’m wrong, please explain.
Western leftists are Westerners who identify themselves as leftists. They are not necessarily our comrade. ↩︎
