There’s been an undercurrent of this among TERF forums. In many ways, they’re leftover second wave feminists who didn’t get on board with the intersectionality that’s central to third wave feminism. They tend to drag other things from 1960s/70s feminism along with them, like prattling on about the Earth Mother and healing crystals.
One of the criticisms the third wave had of the second is that the sex negativity tended to align them with far right religious conservatives on many issues. That’s a good indication that something went wrong. Maybe it’s no surprise they ended up in MAGA.
I truly want to know if these people are brain dead zombies.
Yes, but this is nothing new. “Mysticism”, “esotericism”, “religion”, etc… have always been a tool of fascism.

Why are vaccines a problem then? Let me tune into earth’s 5G signals baby!
I too say dumb shit when I’m high, I never thought I could get a high level government job for saying dumb shit while high.
“Well Mr. Doe, I’m afraid it’s bad news. We found a mass in your chest, it looks like pancreatic cancer.”
“Oh no, so what will we do about that? Will I get radiation, or chemo?”
“I’ll be prescribing you a set of positively charged aura crystals, just spend some time near them every day, and let them charge under moonlight at night. I’ve also scheduled you a time with our resident chiropractor, he’ll try to realign your chakras. Until then you could also try to stay away from Virgos.”
We’re all laughing but next up guys sort of shit will be picked up by US pharmaceutical companies who crank up the cost of s good chakra cleansing to the point where nobody can afford them without going bankrupt, then what are we going to do?
Same as with regular medicine, book a flight to India or Mexico.
I’d much rather the new age movement align with the right and make them be the ones who look stupid by association. Do not want to make room in the tent for that shit, thanks.
should be maganism.
If the future of medicine is light then I don’t want to see any of you MAGAt morons in a hospital or doctors office. Go sit outside and pray away your sickness in the sunlight, dumbasses.
I fiirmly believe that people are doing badly and suffering because they don’t listen to themselves and their body.
If MAGA starts accepting its own body, they will get waay more powerful.
The lockdowns and subsequent vaccine drama turned a huge amount of previously assumed “liberal” new-age dumbasses into full-throated right-wing dumbasses. It was surprising to watch at first, but it makes sense when you think about it.
i watched some yotubers turned to rabid magats, after all the vaccine drama+ some controversy that kickstarted it all from thier declining channel, they couldve connected with alot of POC in the community, im guess thier true colors of sucking off trump and musk was thier true value.
Is it because there’s a whole ton of people who are simply selfish?
No?
It’s basically just anti-academic.
If you can just invent arcane knowledge that only you know then you’re smarter than everyone and can do anything you like.
So selfish.
That makes more sense than what I was thinking before
Basically the whole contingent is anti-authority, and r’s were able to capitalize on that by feeding the pushback against vaccines and masks.
I believe you, but I don’t understand how. mRNA vaccines are basically magic.
*sufficiently advanced technology
thats the same.
No it isn’t one has me using the blood of my enemies to paint runes for good luck on my jacket. The other requires math.
i was refering to the saying that any sufficiently advanced type of technology might as well be magic- something along the lines, i forgot.
Conservatism doesn’t mean right-wing. It’s reality as a team sport.
Reasoned argument is a learned behavior. This nonsense is humanity’s default.
They think that’s all you’re doing, because they think that’s all there is.
Good, good. Now convince MAGA folks to drink the koolaid together…
humans are not the only species to have destroyed their own habitat on this planet.
who are the other ones?
viruses, locusts… pretty much every plague that’s ever happened… brontosauruses started nesting in swamps and cause an ice age…
but i mean, animals evolved to strike balances because animals that didn’t went extinct… so it must’ve happened many times before…
No, animals have not evolved to strike a balance in anyway, the eco system as a whole, possibly, but not animals on their own.
*any way
The biggest differences is those changes occur over thousands if not millions of years thus giving time to species to adapt to new habitats. Many went extinct, but many more arose.
What is devasting is rapid and immediate changes such as an asteroid impact, or volcanic eruption, or humans pumping trillions of tons of co2 while cutting down forests globally within a century.
i’m not talking about mass extinctions
We don’t know, they didnt left any marks. That’s the scary part.
It would have been funny in a different context, but unfortunately you violated Poe’s Law.
That’s a spanking.
Go back to 8th grade and relearn the scientific method. Pay attention this time.
Lack of evidence against is not evidence for. Remain open to possibilities, but don’t assume.
so? whats your point? We’re smart enough to know what we’re doing, an insect is not.
Well if only they could stop polluting the world so we can get some of that clean living.
