"quasi-fundamentalist fervor to the secular belief system of "Intersectionality"". I don't have a clue what that means, but it certainly sounds like you're trying to call them dumb liberals or something...
I miss the days when such people were just "dumb liberals" like me. Now, there are people who spend their time going after other people, like obnoxious religious people used to go after homosexuals. It's not the ideology which is problematic. It's the meta can be wrapped around it which seems inextricable from negative emotion, oppressive acrimony, and a desire to impinge upon other lives.
As I said before, live and let live is the best way. Don't judge, lest ye be judged. Most of all, don't project hypothetical emotional and mental states on others and engage in moral judgement and condemnation on that basis. This is precisely what accusations of "internalized" _-isms are, such pronouncements are objectively produced by adherents of intersectionality, are objectively stated in presentations of the ideology, and objectively have as little evidence backing them as accusations of "satanic influence" had from fundamental religious people during social controversies of the 80's.
- pjc50 8y agoI think (ironically) you're projecting things onto "intersectionality" that aren't there in the normal meaning of the term.
- stcredzero 8y agoI think (ironically) you're projecting things onto "intersectionality" that aren't there in the normal meaning of the term. I have direct experience of people making emotion driven, unjust, evidence-less accusations in the name of "intersectionality." Online, you can see people doing the same. In personal discussions, it's absolutely amazing the number of times someone contradicts what someone else says and comes out with their evidence-free version of what they're "actually thinking." Again, it's not the ideology per-se. It's the tribal emotion-driven meta around it which makes people behave in unproductive ways.
