Ten theses on First World leftism, spoken from a place of bitterness
- The First World leftist is depressed and anxious.
- The cause of their depression and anxiety is their lack of freedom. The First World leftist lives a domesticated life, where the body is constantly policed by external and internalised authority, by law and social norms and shame. Every hour of every day is decided by some authority since infancy, from parents to teachers to bosses. Cross-culturally, most of humanity would look at this and call it a servant’s life.
- The First World leftist finds relief from their bondage in consumer goods. But this relief lasts but an instant.
- The First World leftist feels permanently guilty over their own oppression: “I have all this privileged wealth yet I’m miserable”.
- But it is the privilege which makes you miserable in the first place, because the price of privilege is submission. The system always takes more of you than it gives. The dice are loaded and the house always wins.
- Therefore, privilege guilt works to obscure the scam: like all scams, by tricking the scammed into believing themself to be complicit to their exploitation. Privilege guilt serves the system.
- The system maintains control through normalised terror. By obscuring any possibility of freedom, the system offers wealth as the only source of joy. Because the joy of wealth is short-lived, this sets up the leftist to be terrified of losing it: “If I’m this miserable even with all the good stuff, how much more miserable I would be in prison, poverty, a house without heating!” Thus invested, everyone is too terrified of police to do anything.
- By never letting the First World leftist experience freedom, the system denies them the knowledge of who they are under material conditions of freedom. They only know themselves under bondage, and so believe themselves to be utterly dependent to all the little treats the system gives them—without realising this dependency is constructed by the system in the first place.
- This is the dynamics of an abusive relationship, massified.
- The only way to break out of the terror is to taste freedom, to learn in your body how much more empowering it is than wealth. The only treatment for the First World leftist’s chronic depression is burnacopcartherapy.
