Anything metaphysical can be interpreted however you wish. That's the thing about metaphysics.

Concepts like Demons are a combination of multiple different alienated experiences, they are not direct experience. Alienation allows for appropriation and anything can be appropriated. Because the dominant forces in our society are Rightists they come out on top, if we had a Socialist society we'd be discussing how the concept of needing to be able to imagine something in order to be able to accomplish it very relevant to our current predicament.

Anyone wants to eat some humble pie? I often see this meme floating around: "How to stay humble when you're right about everything."

Well you got the future you imagined happening. There is no grand design, no great plan, only the choices we make, that we reuse or are unable to change simply makes one seem prescient. Can anyone here actually imagine winning over the fascists? I certainly cannot imagine defeating them. So of course just like everyone else I'm looking for a party of heroes to come and save me. And you can't imagine me being a hero either and neither can I imagine you being a hero. So to speak our collective self-esteem is at a rock bottom.

Meanwhile the rightists do not give a damn about anything, the intellectual rightists are the worst ones because they can live double lives, they can reap the rewards of exploitation and sell you socialist treats with no remorse, they'll even fight by your side when it's beneficial to them. Now you could argue that's the Demon right there, unfortunately afaik. Demons are incapable of change in the show? And based on the critique I have receive I have to say that anyone is able to be reformed, even a Nazi can make the choice to do better.

Which does make it kind of of odd to be in leftist spaces? At least online. Because then I also hear terms like "Baltoid" https://hexbear.net/post/7268076/6809134 or people from Israel can be dehumanized entirely f.ex https://hexbear.net/post/8223929/7092843 and I agree these are both not good states, but if you are from amerikkka it's objectively far worse than either of these two places so can we at least get like equal treatment if I'm gonna be labeled as subhuman?

If people are allowed to call me a baltoid why can't I do it to Americans? And idm call me all you want, but it does seem rather strange how to Americans USA is diverse, but every other country is inhabited by copy-paste people who are all the same and can't be changed. Of course because you're supposed to be doing the regime change for me, is it? I should probably stop interacting with online USians because the hypocrisy is kind of grating.
