You may have noticed that the violent reaction is dominated by boomers & trans Common factor is a need to retroactively maintain a personal narrative - "Temporal Bioleninism" Liberal boomers burned down millennia of culture, wealth, & wisdom, sold their inheritance to foreigners, abandoned their families - & all of that was justified by the postwar progressive political project If that project is repudiated by their grandchildren - if they find themselves, ironically, "on the wrong side of history" - then it all came to nothing It would mean that, actually, they were just assholes - their ideology was always a self-serving joke, the story of their lives is pure waste & loss & tragedy, they are already in hell & since the book of their lives is written, & there's nothing they can do about it, they'll do pretty much anything that lets them believe a different story about themselves
Likewise, these guys are watching American society give up on the ideological project that convinced them to cut off their dicks & wreck their endocrine systems with exogenous hormones Can't be undone - like the boomers their only hope is to change what it means, in retrospect
Temporal bioleninism is radicalization by one's position in time These aren't mutant dregs glomming on to Marxism as their only plausible path to status they might have been other things - but now radical Marxism is the only tolerable mode of understanding their past & present
I can't imagine what goes on in Cynthia Nixon's head when she contemplates the possibility that she might have mutilated & sterilized her child for a celebrity fad - but I guarantee she doesn't stay there long She'll believe & do & say literally anything that kills that thought
