How dare people interact with each other on their own terms and claim to be "welcoming". Don't they know that they're excluding me unless they're interacting with each other on my terms?
Consistency as a concept is ableist, white-supremacist and cisheteronormative.Is a little consistency too much to ask for?
FML I did a racism and assumed she was black based on her name, and the assumption that only lolcows (looking at you Ace) are quite this insane about white people while being white themselves. I should have known she was white.
I was trying to find more background on her and, like Vicky, Tema wants to be the main character who "liberates" us from "our white supremacy capitalist patriarchal ableist heteronormative fool of a culture," but, unlike Vicky, Tema doesnt seem to have Vicky's victim-savior complex. She doesnt lie about being a poor, non-white, disabled DEI victim to fit in with the far-left and radical humanities scholars. Tema seems to have more of a “selfless savior” complex. She uses the fact that she is white, abled, cisgender, and therefore privileged—but chooses to fight against the very systems that give her that privilege—as a way to position herself as a selfless savior and the voice of The PeopleThis is Tema Okun btw
Went back a few pages to quote you. Check out this absolute slammer that Vicky responded to:Vicky is absolutely the last person who could successfully navigate any relationship founded on the need to adapt to another person.
I kneelbitch go to therapy
Well yeah every munchie is like thatI know it's Vicky we're talking about but I find it insane how often and quickly she tries to reorient a topic to be about her. It has to be about her. She's not even pretending to be curious about other people's thoughts and experiences and if she is- it's only to one-up them later
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I think Vickster does it all the time, I feel like other munchies are trying to do it in a subtler mannerWell yeah every munchie is like that
Sometimes she seems like satire, can't imagine putting my unwillingness to self-reflect out there on a public forum like that. Gotta give her some credit though, wanting to have her cake and eat it too (in the dating sphere) is the most male behavior she's ever exhibited."I have avoidant attachment because um, childhood trauma and unavailable caregivers : ("
"You have GOT to stop outsourcing your lack of maternal love in childhood to romantic prospects if you actually want to get anywhere with dating."
"UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
The average munchie is of about average or higher intelligence. Considering the head start Vicky had regarding her upbringing and schooling, and the fact that she seems unable to be at least consistent in her lies or that she never references anything beyond the scope of a pre-teen, I would say that her intellect is far below average.I'm not disagreeing with you, but I think Vickster does it all the time, I feel like other munchies are trying to do it in a subtler manner
Half of therapy is unraveling issues, the other half is accepting them. They will not change. This is the nature of life. When did we stop teaching this? When did people get so... enabled... by the possibilities of their science fiction delusions that they lose sight of personal responsibility? Most importantly, when will there be a reckoning or some vast acknowledgement that all of these phenomena are related to the same core inability to accept and manage the harshness of being alive, and nobody is special enough to avoid it? When did the lines blur between personality disorders and identity politics? (all kind of rhetorical but always appreciate other perspectives here)
Is this the only time she ever interviewed for a job? Just nope not for me and never did it again? That's my headcanon now, anyway.Still annecdoting about high school. Also what position

Just a thought. I think its fascinating when white leftist speak on racism or whiteness.
Some quotes from the site linked above:
"My name is Tema Okun. I have been on this planet for many decades and I know a thing or two about a thing or two, including white supremacy and racism."
"By the time I was born, my father was a college professor in an elite Southern college town and my mother worked on and off in the public schools. I grew up during the last years of Jim Crow and the first years of school desegregation, both enactments of violent white supremacy and racism."
"I am a white woman, currently cisgender and able-bodied, upper class. I am older, sometimes an elder"
"I am conditioned to be fearful while determined to be open-hearted and I live in that ongoing tension each day with as much grace and humor as I can muster. I am deeply puzzled by why and how we seem to value profit over people and why and how we base our belonging on who we can keep out rather than who we welcome in. And by we, I mean our culture, our white supremacy capitalist patriarchal ableist heteronormative fool of a culture."
To the Materialist, there is no such thing as a psychological problem - all "psychological" problems have physical causes, maybe inside the body, maybe outside. But it's a problem of matter and energy, not a problem of thought or spirit.
Physical problems have physical solutions. Crime isn't caused by evil, evil is a thought/spirit idea and isn't real.
Sorry to derail for the second time in one day but this isn't technically true as it ignores emergent phenomena- which consciousness is widely regarded to be.To the Materialist, there is no such thing as a psychological problem
