Read on Twitter
on a purely text based level the reason for the "leftist overwrites words words words" phenomenon is about a complete distrust in the (imagined) reader, not necessarily because they are bad at thinking, mechanically, but because they are insecure. they may also be bad at thinking https://twitter.com/egg_report/status/1355667738799308800
the author is worried "aah they wont get it", so he overwrites, and pencils out every little thing that comes to mind that could be misunderstood, which then primes the text with this distrust, making it uncomfortable to read, because u as the reader can sense this lack of trust
practically speaking, in institutions of higher learning you are being trained to express yourself distrustfully, to be as obscure and wasteful as possible, to reach arbitrary goals, not to help you become a better human being or writer, or to find more accurate truth,
but to have an arbitrary measuring stick to measure you by, because if you cannot measure the "progress", if the student cannot be "quantified" in some way, you cannot grade him and efficiently justify your budget to whoever pays you
to write good simply assume the reader understands what youre saying and is not a villain out to get you and humiliate you by catching you with your pants down and going "this little dicked nerd forget to account for x y and z lmao lets never fuck him"
or if this is too difficult a change in perspective to do all at once, try to remind yourself that it's literally all in your head and that there is no reader, no one cares enough to even want to humiliate you for your supposed mistakes, you fucking narcissist
I call this the death of the audience
anyways this phenomenon goes way back and socialism and socialist theory is basically all the product of antisocial people trying to rationalised themselves out of their neurotic anxieties about interacting with other people
like, taking their own personal micro-scale anxieties about trust and relating to other people, of *feeling understood when you speak*, universalising it, and then trying to restructure society to solve for a problem they project onto it
"it's not me that has trust issues - society is fundamentally flawed", or "if society was x y and z, then I wouldn't have this anxiety". instead of just,
going up and talking to her
going up and talking to her
the reason this is all doomed to fail and communism/organised "anarchism" implodes instantly is that you can't solve a micro scale problem with macro scale solutions, and the diagnosis of the problem was wrong in the first place, missing the forest for the trees kind of situation
you will NEVER solve a psychological hangup by enacting a recreation of it, no matter how big, that's just the fetish stuff I always talk about where you return to the scene of the crime and all that
on a bipartisan level this all goes to show that the most important thing today is not theory but a kindling of bravery and morale. we don't need analysis of what women want, or what they are - we don't need to understand them. we only need dating advice
imagine if truth was a woman, what then
