I just really appreciate how Jax and tadc has helped a lot of reppers come out of their shells and embrace their true selves. It's not everyday something like that happens
Capitalists love giving their own input unprompted lol
Christianity in the black community - Finding divinity in your suffering
Everyone should make a xenofem account NOW
Better get in touch with more nyx fans as well as nyx herself, and is also cyber nihilist praxis lol
New subreddit i made for nyx fans! r/nyx_land :D
Be sure to check it out :3 r/nyx_land
Welcome to The Wired
A community to discuss gender accelerationism or g/acc for short (nyx's, not vikky storm's take on it), cyber nihilism, and anything similar to that. I noticed a lack of subreddits critically touching on nyx's work or ideas, if touching on them at all. So this subreddit will be discussing everything about those ideas and work, as well as the philosophies that influenced them as well as whatever your own theory is. I think it's just silly to only look at previous work, so i encourage you all to utilize theorypunk effectively and create your own theories as well.
I always admired nyx's work but idk if i always fully understood it. But when i did, and believe me, i did, it struck a chord. It was horrifying yet empowering at the same time. The apocalypse can be beautiful too, after all. And i don't know how to fully articulate whatever shift i had when i fully comprehended g/acc but i suppose that's what this sub is for lol. Most nyx fans are out on xenofem, sure, but i figured some of y'all would also like a subreddit. Maybe it'll show normies the truth lol. Or not, who knows? It is a philosophy that gets misunderstood by many and i wanna try and change that. Here's some work from her blog to get started, begin the rabbit hole from there: https://unlife.nyx.land/
Demsoc victories and what it means for leftism as a whole
Objectively speaking any form of leftism is beneficial in combating the chuds. However, i've noticed that some people have been overestimating the implications of people like Mamdani winning. As a politician he's one of the better options we have for sure, but this does not mean that socialism is going to reign victorious over the US finally. To many of you this is obvious, but to some leftists like to think "yeah, the left is winning everything!!!" How can we be sure this is anything long term? Sure, more people in some parts of the nation are waking up, but their reliance on electoralism and reform rather than trying to help mobilize the lower classes and marginalized groups towards something more direct will be their downfall. They still have to play by the rules of the old system, and sure, suppose our next president, SOMEHOW, is a demsoc, hell maybe even the president after that too. Do you think their victory will last forever? That later down the line we're not gonna be right where we started again, with a new trump taking power? To be in a position of that amount of power, you're just gonna end up working for the status quo. I'm not saying not to vote for demsocs, do whatever the hell you want, but i'm just asking certain leftists in some spaces to stop being so corny about this and think a bit lol
Announcement regarding Soggy and r/theredleft
Soggy, a mod here, has just been removed from being our mod and will be banned here shortly as soon as i can find her on here and ban her lol. You wanna know why? You might know her from being kicked out of r/theredleft however long ago that was. The reason she claimed was due to there being some kind of coup essentially, at least that's what ended up being the popular belief, and that she was unfairly being taken over by other mods. However, not only did that end up NOT being the case, but she has also just been extremely shitty in general, the most egregious example of this is her sexual advances towards the other members of their discord server including a mod, who were minors. Sure, she was also a minor at the time of these instances but that doesn't negate the fact it's wrong. All of the people that came forward stated that they were uninterested and have expressed this, she continued. One person even stated that the advances occured while they were drunk and that soggy claimed to have a kink of acting sexually around the intoxicated because it gives her more power. Aside from being sexual and flirting with other members she was otherwise uncooperative, manipulative, and power hungry. The "splits" she describes with her and the red left were just minor disagreements between her and the mods. Soggy was one of the first mods i put on the subreddit, but i never really interacted with her very much one on one. If i did, i might've been able to find out about this sooner and have her out of our subreddit, because this kind of behavior is unacceptable. The rumors of r/theredleft still persist because of her and i sincerely apologize for being a partial reason for that getting platformed, with her being a mod on our subreddit. If any of you guys have experienced anything from any member of the subreddit especially a mod alert us immediately, and we will deal with it as soon as possible, and thank you for the victims of this for speaking out and thanks to u/Polytopia_Fan for bringing this to my attention in the first place
I'm sick of Jax haters. Media literacy is dead, and we have killed it
People say they want complex characters. Well, we have one and what do people say about her? That she is just irredeemably evil and you are a bad person for liking, relating to, or resonating with her. The criticisms of her don't even align logically, it's constantly contradicting. It is just based off of people's self righteous "morality" and twitter mindset in the end, at least on one side of the spectrum. Bad representation? Because it shows a trans person who struggles with herself and isn't just a one note character? Because she isn't shown as the best person, and who's hurt people, and there is no room for any deeper understanding, exploration, or empathy for her regardless? Does your empathy only extend to those who you deem as paragons of virtue? Because it explores the traumas, insecurities, behaviors, etc of people who struggle with gender dysphoria and unaddressed trauma and shows what happens if you don't get help for it and that makes you uncomfortable? And on the other side you have what is essentially just cis cope lmao, which is just "oh it's just a headcanon, there weren't any actual signs, blah blah blah". The only valid criticism i can think of would be that we didn't get enough of the other characters and i understand that, i love the other characters, but that doesn't mean you have to have such a deep irrational hatred for Jax. All the big people have said "oh the finale sucked" or whatever, and because they have the most likes and the most views that MUST mean they're correct. The finale wasn't perfect, no excuse for the excessive hatred of Jax or Gooseworx or anyone else. The same people who are saying this shit are the same people who kept harassing Gooseworx in the past and are frankly what's making the fandom worse
My thoughts on Jax have been a rollercoaster but i always had the upmost respect for her. I hate the things she's done, and yet i feel bad for her. In truth, i love Jax. She's me if my unhealthiest traits went up to their logical extremes. Nobody is saying Jax didn't do anything wrong, at least not if you watched the show properly. If Jax's arc and story did anything, it made me think more about myself and my own life. I've never in my life encountered a character that touched me this deeply. Seeing her do the things she did, the people she hurt, that hurt me and it hurt to watch. She could've had so much and her character is really a tragedy. And instead of nuance, we get constant berating. I've seldom seen such a visceral reaction to a character, especially one that frankly i don't think deserved that. I just ask the haters of Jax one question: do you consider yourselves to be good people? Do you feel as though your constant hatred of a character you deem as pure, unquestionably evil makes you better by comparison? Are you truly happy with yourselves? I love Jax, and i'm tired of the toxicity

Controversial media, voidpunk, the stigma around NPD, and the hypocrisy of conventional morality (spoilers for the amazing digital circus, albeit moreso the themes rather than specific moments)
I'm back, bitches >:3. Sorry for lack of posting, i have been transformed into a great soft jelly thing. Smoothly rounded, with no mouth, with pulsing white holes filled by fog where my eyes used to be. Rubbery appendages that were once my arms; bulks rounding down into legless humps of soft slippery matter. I leave a moist trail when I move. Blotches of diseased, evil gray come and go on my surface, as though light is being beamed from within. Outwardly: dumbly, I shamble about, a thing that could never have been known as human, a thing whose shape is so alien a travesty that humanity becomes more obscene for the vague resemblance. Inwardly: alone. Here. Living under the land, under the sea, in the belly of AM, whom we created because our time was badly spent and we must have known unconsciously that he could do it better. At least the four of them are safe at last. AM will be all the madder for that. It makes me a little happier. And yet… AM has won, simply… he has taken his revenge… I have no mouth. And I must scream. /j
I recently watched the finale to the amazing digital circus, a series which i am quite fond of. I'll be totally honest, Jax is not only one of my favorite characters in the show, but also one of my favorites of all time. At the same time, i hate her. This is because i see myself in Jax to a large extent (and not just because rabbits are my favorite animal lol), if my most toxic traits were put into the most extreme setting. Jax is literally me especially when looking at a few years ago, and i hate that, and yet i love it at the same time because it made me think a bit about myself. This show stuck with me for many reasons, and i love all the characters but the one i was always fixated on was Jax (likely due to being the literal protagonist along with Pomni lmao). I started off disliking her, then liking her as the series continued and i began to relate, disliking her again but feeling bad for her, and now i'm even more conflicted after the finale. But one thing for sure is, aside from being homeless and parents being divorced (tho their relationship is still tense and certainly on the brink of it for awhile), my life, insecurities, personality, and how i carried myself certainly parallels with Jax to an extent. Which begs the question: are you a bad person for relating to bad people even partially? The answer should be obvious: no, if you don't let it define you. You can always be a better person if you allow yourself to reflect and to receive help from others and not isolate yourself and try and run from them. It's like in scott pilgrim, we all do bad things to people and nothing excuses that, but you're only a bad person if you STAY bad. I myself eventually learned to be more considerate and compassionate, into the person i am right now for example. But you see, people on the internet hate nuance. I consider myself a Jax fan for sure. There are many people who are not, whether it was because of the trans thing (which is just a whole lot of cope from cis people tbh lol) or just her actions. The latter i get, and the show doesn't try to justify any of them, but people like REALLLY hate Jax, to a cartoonish level. It got so bad that people from Jax hate subs came onto subs like r/savingjax to apologize and talk about all that toxicity in those spaces. It's like they can't see any sort of nuance whatsoever
I feel the need to bring up the perception of NPD, or narcissistic personality disorder. It's a real disorder and people can get hurt from it, but people seldom look into the internal suffering of the narcissist. How that ego is based off of insecurity, how the lack of empathy can in fact be improved upon with time and effort and that they aren't inherently a bad person, and how NOT ALL NARCISSISTS ARE ABUSIVE! People are mental health advocates until it's one of the bad ones that make them uncomfortable, then they're just "evil". These people need help too, dingus, it's not like they're actively rubbing their hands together and saying "mwuahahaha i feel like being EVIIIIL today". "Oh but they can cause real damage in relationships and they tend to be super unhealthy". NEWSFLASH ASSHOLE, THAT'S ANY MENTAL ILLNESS!!! It doesn't excuse any action, i'm not saying that it does. You can't blame something on what you are or what you have, you judge it by WHO you are. All it does is explain things. It identifies what the deal is and then we, yes we, gotta help figure out how to cope with it before it becomes worse. And you demonizing narcissism to the point where everything i see about it is on how bad and evil narcissists are certainly aren't helping. But you're SO much more empathetic than them, sure. Your empathy is worthless if you only extend it to certain people. I resent those who refuse to look past the mainstream narrative demonizing narcissists and other "evil" disorders, and if you are among them i will seriously consider banning you, maybe that'll wake you up to your own ableism
This is a larger issue i've brought up before in regards to media. You take media that has disturbing themes and imagery, or maybe a creator who does something shitty like 10 years ago (not even like extremely bad or anything, not trying to minimize cases of genuine abuse, bigotry, etc), immediately they turn into a puritanical angry mob. Now i don't wanna go "grr, le cancel culture" but there's really know other way to describe it, and it's because a lot of "leftists" grew up consistently fed propaganda, and they may have gone past the outright bigotry and shit but they still haven't moved past the christian moralist mentality, so now they have the same logic as a right winger with "every scary thing i don't like or understand is satani- i mean problematic". I don't believe art should be censored or watered down, i think it's an insult. Art isn't meant to coddle you, it should be something that hits you deep in your soul. It's intense, but it's comforting, and it tells you something about yourself, about the world, anything really. Without any of this media that twitter shitheads view as inherently wrong, what would the world look like? What would be produced? Something safe, bland, and boring, exactly what white corporate america wants, all because you don't understand metaphors or context or theme or symbolism, no matter how blatantly it's beating you in the head because you take things so goddamn literally. Stirner mentions how athiests are just as dogmatic as christians because they still are stuck in that same mindset as them. Hell, they might even be worse in some ways because they're lying about it, even tho they constantly spout how they value things like honesty and accountability. They act like paragons of virtue yet are just as rotten as the rest of us, but they just refuse to admit it so they never change. Why don't you focus your time on looking for REAL abusers, for REAL bigots, and for REAL problems instead of wasting your time on whether this anime or video game is problematic or not? Because that requires reflection on yourself
Humanity itself is like the historic label of whiteness, its definition is inconsistent and constantly changes as the overall power dynamic changes. Many marginalized people get treated less than human by the dominant power dynamic, which ebbs and flows over time but has overall been made so one group stays on top of everyone else. If you manage to assimilate you will be accepted, but only conditionally. You'd be accepted in the same way as Stephen is accepted by Calvin Candie from Django: Unchained, as an uncle tom that still isn't fully integrated because the status quo would never FULLY accept you for your differences, just give you more freedom if you're well behaved enough while still being under their thumb. That's why Django is free and Stephen still a slave, because of their different view on the fundamentals of freedom. No apologies, no assimilation, ever. That's my view of it. Relying on middlemen who are part of the dominant group to speak for us, be them a white person or a neurotypical person or a cis person or whoever, is just going to lead to our downfall and is the reason so many people are wasted potential now. Not to reject allies ofc, but that's not what i'm saying. I'm saying that we're not gonna join their party, this is OUR party, they're just invited. Now, voidpunk is kind of the rejection of humanity as an idea, for it is limiting because of similar reasoning i described. Like Dazai, they feel a fundamental disconnection from humanity as a whole because of how power dynamics work and how "humanity" is given and taken away on a whim based on that. Voidpunk is like "alright, well well humanity is overrated anyway" and reclaims that dehumanization into something cooler. We embrace the labels of monsters or robots or whatever as a means to strip the oppressors of their power. We're less than human? Nah, we're just not human and what of it lol. That's an oversimplified version of that but yeah. You can think of it as a rebranded posthumanism in a way. What i'm saying is to embrace what makes you different ig
Transphobia is just normalized ableism
Sorry for lack of posting, will be more active soon :3
Regarding the myth of tolerance and assimilationists
So i thought that ACP plant i was talking about last night was done here, but apparently not. I saw a post of theirs in response to me that was so ass that i couldn't ignore it, leading me to writing this post. So the first half is gonna be me debunking it and the second half is just ranting about assimilationists lol
Their claim: tolerance is not only better than acceptance, but also more genuine. Bitch, what drugs have you been taking lmao? Tolerance is essentially "i don't like you, but i'm gonna put up with you", which couldn't be more fake, if you hate me i'd rather you be direct about it rather than trying to be sneaky about it lol. This is the issue with liberalism in general, just the emphasis on tolerance over actual acceptance. While at first this sounds reasonable, logically not everyone is going to like each other, people can only put up a front for so long, ESPECIALLY if the society you live in has deeply rooted racism and classism baked into it. As legal progress is made more tolerance is expected, but that racism didn't go away. When the civil rights act was written, we didn't stop having these racists, they just changed their language over time. Instead of saying black people directly, they say "criminals", "thugs", "welfare queens", "dei", etc. But what happens under a liberal society again? Eventually it leads to authoritarianism. Fascism is the final stage of capitalism inevitably, as a socialist i'd think one would know this. If reactionary thought is baked into your system, no amount of "tolerance" is gonna make that go away. It's just gonna allow intolerant people to get more of a voice and get more power, which historically came at the detriment of people who are more oppressed. Go on, make that subreddit of yours with your five followers and negative downvotes that you claim makes you so famous (i only bring that up because they did lmao). See if you're still gonna have only "mildly" reactionary people by the end of it. See, another flaw with the idea of the tolerance is the fact that you still don't like that group of people, which will inevitably imply a betrayal even if you're willing to temporarily put your differences aside. I can tell this person doesn't belong to any oppressed group because this is getting ridiculous. Sure, it may not be deceptive if you're honest about it, which apparently this person is, but at the same time there's not really any other way to look at it, because as soon as it is "forced" onto you, aka it ends up affecting you in some way, you freak out. The thing is tho, ofc it's going to evolve outside of their own little bubble, that's just how things work. You can't just have a "separate but equal" mentality (we'll get to that later), because how did that go again? Oh yeah, it had lynchings, segregation, klansmen, all the works. Because that's how it inevitably ends up, so the solution is change in both society and yourself. Speaking of which, this person claims that they tried to kill off some of their reactionary beliefs but couldn't. Lmao. Despite what you might claim, i don't think that's an issue for most people if they weren't genuinely bigoted. Now, if you want to have a genuinely accepting society, it begins with understanding, or Gnosis if you wanna get spiritual about it. This ofc begins with yourself. When you are trans, for example, you evaluate your life both past and present, you challenge pre-concieved notions about yourself and gender, and what society has told you about it. Everyone is told at a young age what's what in regards to that stuff, subconsciously or otherwise. When you realize that's fundamentally wrong, you begin to ask yourself: "what else have i been led to believe that isn't true?" Obviously it's different for everyone but logically that's how it goes a lot of the time, that's why a lot of trans people, or any oppressed group for that matter, naturally gravitate towards the left. And nobody said that gaining this new understanding is easy, it takes a LONG ass time to get it fully formed. To give up because it's "not within your nature" or whatever is lazy and shows how weakness in your soul. It just shows a lack of insight or knowledge which led me to be surprised how you became a socialist in the first place (ignoring the praise of Gorbachev, who was the guy who made a 180 on socialism when visiting an american grocery store and turn the ussr from state capitalist to regular capitalist russia, interestingly lmao). It's no wonder you settle for tolerance, there's no desire to make a major change in yourself or in society, there's no putting in that self reflection or that work. This is why socially you're no better than the average white liberal. Now let's see if you ask the white leftist question: why worry about "identity politics" at all?
See, there are two ways to look at identity politics: equality under the system and liberation from the system. The former is that liberal assimilationist kind, where it's about achieving the same legalities and representation and such without actually challenging the system itself. It overlooks class, overarching racism or bigotry by viewing it as an individual issue rather than an institutional one, and just want us to "be nice" to appease the white/cishet/whatever majority. When you just settle for that tho, what you get in the end is just assimilating into a death cult. Wanting the right to serve the military, for example? Congrats, now you get to be in the front lines and bomb middle eastern children like all the other people around you. Does that sound free to you? It's essentially trying to get the same privileges as the dominant demographic. In other words, it's an absolute joke at best and a betrayal at worst. Stop trying to appeal to them and being a pick-me because they're not going to pick you, when things get bad who's gonna stick up for you? Not the dominant demographic, that's for sure. No wonder why nobody can take liberal queers seriously, who would? The SECOND type of identity politics is crucial, however: the actual deconstruction of these systems and institutions, viewing issues of race and gender as inseparable from class issues as they are, allows for actual authenticity and experimentation, and is integral to any leftist struggle. You can't abolish class without getting rid of everything else that goes with it. In mainstream political discourse, there has been too much of an emphasis on the first kind of identity politics, which is shallow and just waters us down to appeal to the majority. We call out hitler and trump for being terrible, rightfully so, ignoring the fact that they weren't the only ones like that, just the biggest figures. They're simply the largest symptom, not the root disease. We can't change things just by getting rid of the one bad guy, you have to gut out why that came into fruition in the first place. This logic applies to everything, really. It's deeper than mere ideology or mundane party politics, it goes deeper. Transness for example shows how malleable things actually are, and that threatens the fabric of what the rightoid system has built up forever. It is inherently political, and white cishets like to pretend otherwise. The performance of gender does not mean that it's meaningless, separate from the material aspects of it, but rather it is a declaration of the two merging. To assert that this is the reality and i will shape it on my own terms to feel more comfortable with myself. Even cis people do this, like with gender reveal parties. To quote Xenogothic, "...‘gender reveal parties’, which are a far more recent performative ritual used to approve the signifying regime one is to be coached in from birth onwards. They are performative because pronouncements like “It’s a boy!” or “It’s a girl!” are just as consequential as the declaration “I now pronounce you man and wife.” This observation unfolds in two directions: on the one hand, this sort of declaration is consequential because it will define your life in a meaningful and material way; on the other, if we were to declare that this declaration of gender is final and immutable, then we might as well regress to a time when divorce is no longer legal also… This, however, is seldom appreciated, heightening certain contradictions in our societal infrastructure." Transness is about asserting your own autonomy and declaring your own independence from the previous dogma, and assimilationists take that logic and spit on it by trying to fit into the dominant system. This is what tolerance also implies, assimilation. Like "ok, you can join us as long as you behave yourself" mentality that assimilationists tend to jump on. The thing is, you can apply the inherent logic of transness i described and apply it to literally anything. Gender is merely a hyperstition, a spook, and a performance as stated earlier, and many things follow the same category. The more you get others to understand that and make an actual effort to deconstruct the previous worldview, thus achieving a revolution of sorts (both cultural and economic), the closer to success you are. The further you go with this, the better. You can't fully blame assimilationists for thinking the way they do, this is the fault of the system they live in above all else, which is exactly why it must be done away with in order for genuine acceptance to take place
Reminder that reactionary thought won't be tolerated here and will result in a permaban
You can't tolerate those who even have a HINT of discriminatory thought towards a certain group for no reason other than their self-righteousness as a christian, thus proving that religion must be kept separate from politics because otherwise you'll have the same western christian liberal logic evident in everything wrong with america, no matter how tolerant or socialist you claim to be. The revolution is cultural as well as economic, and therefore chuddiness can not be accepted. What are they gonna contribute, repetitive slop content?
Social conservatism is a disease that we won't let into the sub. Even if you have the "oh i'm not gonna force you" kind of mentality you're still having those views, is that not bad enough? "Oh i fucking HATE gay people, but just stay away from me and tolerate me and we'll be fine, don't force each other's shit on each other". You see how dumb that sounds? That's what they sound like, then they go in your dms and throw insults at you that aren't even accurate, mind you lol. Ever hear of the paradox of tolerance? Your logic doesn't even apply if you start mentioning your views every chance you get. Such a privileged stance that you can't even admit to holding lmao
No, i'm not just gonna "coexist" with casual reactionaries, the goal here isn't tolerance, what do you take me for, a liberal? It's genuine acceptance, openness, and embrace of other's differences, which paradoxically starts with getting rid of philosophies which directly contradict that sentiment so we don't have them gain dominance. Look at what happened to the incels. Reactionaries will be banned from here, just reminding you that. If you wander within a forest, don't be surprised to find creatures there. Just saying
Blessed is the lion that the human will eat, so that the lion becomes human. And cursed is the human that the lion will eat, and the lion still will become human.
