Hi, I have an MSc w/distinction and based up somebody’s patio yesterday, this isn’t a Chinese thing.

English, same.

That’s why we say the base precedes the superstructure “in the first instance”.

This conflates material reality and ideology, though. Not to say a cultural or social reality isn’t real in its own way, just that it is preceded by objective, material reality. I think the arguments tend to boil down to people prioritising one or the other and then refusing to budge.

I’m pretty laid back about it but draw the line at people attempting to assert there is no such thing as material conditions. I’m not explicitly “Marxist” but definitely Marxian in the sense that I think all theories need to be anchored in material reality in the first instance. So gender categories exist, but are part of the superstructure.

And that’s what gender critical means.

I just tried Google Gemini and it would not stop making shit up, it was really disappointing.

Yeah do that, definitely.

The word choice is certainly not accidental.

If this happens, he gets a pass. It’s the only reason I can think of to focus that much wealth in one place.

Interesting and worrying co-opting of tactics previously associated with jihadism.
