What if you literally didn't take the US general election seriously and instead read Domenico Losurdo's few precious translated works and used that to transform everything? (lemmy.ml)

Fuck your critical theory bullshit. I don't need to indulge myself in the frippery of western academic circlejerks to support trans people in my life. I resent the implication.

quoting OP who posted this earlier on a year-old post about Feinberg... weird guy. can't believe they haven't qualified for a permaban tbh, not sure what it must take. transphobic misohynist from a different instance seems like a slam dunk to not give a second (third?) chance to for me. https://hexbear.net/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=2019549

Very weird indeed, I was confused without the context.

[-] Sausage@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

I think that was kind of Losrudos point

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

very insightful thanks. the guy who just got permabanned for being a transphobic shithead was surely misunderstood and channelling losurdo. no investigation no right to speak!

[-] Sausage@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Oh I didn’t check what he was saying in other threads but and I haven’t read the book yet but based on what Rockhille was saying on his interview about the book by Losurdo was very much a fuck theory guy.

look Losurdo was cool and all but vaguely using him (without dropping any quotes or even explaining your position) to back up a user who is now permabanned for transphobia dismissing a great queer theorist like Feinberg as "western academic circle jerk" is like so far beyond square hole round peg I don't know how you ever thought it was a good thing to post.

Who am I backing up exactly I’m confused ?

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

in the comment you replied to saying "that was lodurdos point" I am quoting the OP of this thread who today necro'd a year old bookclub thread about Feinberg to post that transphobic shit. they are now banned from the website. fair enough if you had no idea of context but I had already posted a reply explaining it.

[-] Sausage@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Ok. Well how am I meant to know all of OPs posts? And also isn’t he saying he supports trans people in that post? once again I’m confused.

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

again, dismissing a seminal queer and trans theorist like Feinberg as "western academic circle jerking" is transphobic. it's one step from "bourgeois decadence". reeks of class reductionism and just general cismale ignorance and unwillingness to learn. they also necro'd a year old thread just to say that.

I don’t comb through peoples posting history

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

i just creep the modlog most days and saw this dudes unhinged removed posts today

[-] Sausage@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Who? I still have no idea who you are talking about: I don’t know how you think I’m backing any one up. As I said I’m confused.

This is the interview I’m referring to.

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

i don't think you were acting in bad faith but tried to explain myself better in another reply. i understand this isn't productive to anything at this point so if you wanna leave it there it's fine by me.

[-] Sausage@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Ok well the way you replied to me kinda seemed like you did assume I was acting in bad faith that’s why I asked for clarification. You also just quoted some one with no context as far as I can see so maybe make that clearer next time…I also have no idea who Feinberg is so I can’t say if I like his or her work or not…..You’re assuming I know a bunch of stuff about some random guy. As I said I haven’t had the chance to read the book yet but based off the interview which I posted lots of Losurdos criticism was aimed at the Frankfurt school in particular. Next time just add more context please.
