I don’t think this means what you think it means
- bm3719 4mo agoI mean that in the Lacanian sense. This is the symbolic Oedipal, not the Freudian familial romance. Reductively, transistion through the Lacanian Oedpial creates the linguistic subject, structuring the unconscious as a language with a relation to the master signifier. Entry into the symbolic register provides the semiotic pathway for linguistic media to be effectuating.
- Fraterkes 4mo agoVery sophomoric reading of Lacan.

- jrflowers 4mo agoI kind of meant more broadly. Your notion of “the left” as some sort of… swirl of evil linguistic specters that prey on the good and civilized flesh-and-bone right is better suited to post-OT III Scientology than Lacan. If you want a philosophy that your ideological detractors are literal evil ghosts they have recruiting offices in most major cities.
- bm3719 4mo agoNo ethical position on the message itself is taken here. Brood parasitism is an ecological niche. The right could do this as well, if they can capture the levers to do so, and as another reply pointed out, perhaps they're getting better at exactly that. In fact, that's a very real threat if you're the left, since if this mechanism reverses, now you've got a real reproduction problem.
