Yeah this is choice. When I was a young kid I was greatly disturbed by the sight of two chimpanzees masturbating right next to the glass in its zoo enclosure.
Leftcom memes often feel like a slightly more intellectual version of that. I’m sure it feels good, but at the end we’re still all in the fucking cage.
This is fucking stupid and are the callous and childish opinions that come from internet atheist bullshit. Go speak to religious people, leaders, comrades, organizers, or just average fucking workers: literally no one will want to be around you if you act like this.
People should be liberated from their oppressive circumstances like those of patriarchy so common in institutionalized religion, but it should also include proselytizing smarmy white kids who think they’re logic gods. Imagine calling yourself a marxist and your praxis is being an asshole to religious individuals
One really beautiful part of Lacan that I’ve probably misread/heard/learned was the discussion of enjoyment and limits. To love someone is not to understand them, or know them at all really: it’s to love the process of unfolding and approaching the limits of ourselves as subjects with perceptions, languages, and material existences that bind us in some way. I will never in my life see the night sky through the eyes of others, nor will I understand their thoughts in their true intent or velocity, but if I were to sit for a lifetime I’d get closer than anyone else ever would.
