Like I don’t think people quite realize how far spread this shit is because I’m now having people argue with me that Israel has total and complete control over the US Guys, a few years prior- that shit would’ve solely been found on Neo Nazi sites.
Samantha Burns@cheesecakechik.bsky.social · 3d agoAnd the whole point of this list is to curb the spread of Nazi propaganda that has so readily infiltrated leftist spaces to now where people like you are claiming stuff like “Israel entirely controls the US, that’s just fact. It’s not antisemitic.” Congrats, you have fallen for Nazi propaganda

Anyone remember when philosophy subreddits were populated by people who—for all their faults—genuinely gave a shit about what they were saying? Now they're all full of dudes who let autocomplete feed their deleusions of grandeur.
Snippets from my upcoming book discussing why I despise attempts to "reclaim" antiquity for contemporary identitarian and political purposes (and how such attempts get repugnant quite fast).
![The insidious nature of reclaiming antiquity is perhaps best encapsulated in awful attempts to find “transgender people” in the ancient world or provide a “transgender reading” of X Bible passage or Y ancient author. Before long we find repugnant arguments that Callo(n)’s mutilation was “gender affirming surgery,” because people today are more concerned with repeating familiar stories across time than empathizing with someone who had no say in who they were made to be. Callo(n) was treated for a tumor, which revealed “a man’s privates” (Diodorus Siculus, Bib. 33.11). The surgeon then conducted a penile reconstruction and demanded double fees. We do not learn if Callo(n) had a say in the matter, though it is not likely. There appears to have been no consent to being forced to live as a man. In another case, one Heraïs was found to have a similar condition when a tumor burst revealing a penis. She hid this deliberately and attempted to continue life as a woman, successfully marrying a man before being brought to court, her nudity exposed by force publicly, humiliated, and forced to change her name and live life as a man (Diodorus Siculus, Bib. 33.10). These are not tales of affirmation or gender-affirming surgery (as a trans woman, I find attempts to construe them repugnant and all who try this should be shamed). These are tales of sexualized violence and inflicted social expectations of gender. The misconstruing of this brutal and horrific history is merely to serve the pathetic aims of identity politics. In fact, they [CONTINUED ON NEXT PICTURE]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2j2exctrcz7r3vc2f3wcbrh2/bafkreidty6ozuceqy5cwfcmxbpx6lsza7sqqv4ji7ube3jaq6mwbbles3m)
![are also readings inherently built upon affluence, treating the trans experience (or X marginalized identity) about receiving healthcare, or some commodity, or social good. It does not speak to either the reality of antiquity or the reality today (where most trans people are denied these things). It is a reading of privilege, affluence, and liberalism.
Under these political interpretive methods, the condescending “task at hand is reading with a trans affirming gaze, one that seeks out and provides room for articulation and representation of trans, nonbinary, and numerous gender variant subjects in the premodern world.” Thus, we obscure history in favor of what best “affirms” this or that minority, instead of speaking to the real conditions under which those people suffered. We erase lived experiences to validate our own shallow senses of self. We obfuscate reality so that we might imaginatively live in a fairy-tale world. It is escapism, an avoidance of practice in the name of self-deception. This process of “reclamation” and affirmative readings, searching the past for tidbits that can be manipulated for self-validation, pervades even western Marxist/socialist discourse; we are so insecure in our malformed mass-market identities—so frightened at the prospect of detangling ourselves from the conditions that make us and usurping them—that we atomize others’ pasts to stabilize our own senses of self in a wanton bout of individualistic selfishness and egotistical identity laundering. It all forgets a basic lesson Marx noted in the Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte:
