nah, .. "rightwing boogeyman" is a good name for like 90% of this artificially created hysteria about "gender ideology" - like most of the "cancel culture" hysteria also, especially how this whole public "discussion" is framed and tackled.. useless at best
The right cashing in on a legitimate concern that is a serious and ongoing issue is very different from it being 90% made up.
funny how you would say this given the fact that most early critics of 'gender progressivism' have been anti-gender Radical-Feminists lol. the trans movement has more in common with the reactionary right in it's view of "what makes a man or woman?" than it does with the actual far-left, it is a "movement" which inherently feeds back to Patriarchical conceptions of both manhood and womanhood.
denying it's existence is fundamentally peak anti-intellectualism. "it's not happening, it's just hysteria! blah blah blah" you sound like a capitalist ignoring a financial crisis.
When you said "Profilicity view on identity"- made me think of the work of Hans-Georg Moeller! Wonder if you're familiar with his channel Carefree Wandering
Yes! He's on our syllabus for CMT.
Love Hans-Georg 🕺
I remember him from his “takedown” (correction) of that “Philosophy Tube” lady over Kant. I really enjoyed it because I find Mrs. P. Tube to be a tremendously annoying narcissist. Good man.
@@dethkon for real
How do you catch an accelerationist?
Yo I just had an idea: What if TU got Nina to teach a course on Bataille?? I would pay good monies for that.
This is definitely an idea we've floated!

Also, re politics as 'negotiation' as opposed to 'domination', great demonstration of how little these people know and/or care about Marx or Marxism.
_The mightier the state, and the more political therefore a country is, the less is it inclined to grasp the general principle of social maladies and to seek their basis in the principle of the state, hence in the present structure of society, the active, conscious and official expression of which is the state. The keener and more lively it is, the more incapable is it of understanding social ills. The classic period of political intellect is the French Revolution. Far from seeing the source of social shortcomings in the principle of the state, the heroes of the French Revolution instead saw in social defects the source of political evils. Thus, Robespierre saw in great poverty and great wealth only an obstacle to pure democracy. Therefore, he wished to establish a universal Spartan frugality. The principle of politics is the will. The more one-sided and, therefore, the more perfected the political mind is, the more does it believe in the omnipotence of the will, the more is it blind to the natural and spiritual limits of the will, and the more incapable is it therefore of discovering the source of social ills._

Funny you guys deleted my comment about how incredibly flimsy and embarrassing their points are considering their patronising and hypocritical tone. Anyway Nina's declared bankrupt as a result of losing the High Court libel claim. So it's a real high calibre of guest on here.
@@JamieBarnes11 I don't delete genuine engagement or arguments. But if you see bankruptcy or losing a case as a case closed, or take any of those court proceedings as damning, that tells me everything I need to know about you. 😂

@@theory_underground Not surprising that you are a Nazi sympathizer
I’ve been distracted by the genocide. Missed you all! Thanks for having Nina on!
16:25. Yeah, grad students tried to get me fired - I’m an office worker in an academic department ! These students are union organizers too😅.
Good, probably should be.
Love it when youtubers signal to their audience they think trans people should be treated as second class citizens
You don't speak for all trans people, and not all trans people are pieces of shit who think women should be shut down for wanting to keep their prisons or sports separate from biological males. That doesn't say anything about the validity or dignity or significance of the struggles of people with dysphoria, nor the rights that should be defended for people to experiment with gender, or even, as adults, modifications of their organism.
@@theory_underground what do you think is worse being repeatedly raped or put in an isolation in a man's prison or feeling uncomfortable because a trans person is in the same prison as you, it's just so hard to tell
@@decaygirl666You are misleading yourself if you believe the primary concern of female prisoners is preserving their "comfort." There are enough legal cases against transwomen in female prisons for abuse and r--- to illustrate how this is not simply a hypothetical ("hysterical?") concern causing women discomfort.
Likewise, are transmen being treated as second class citizens by being placed in female prisons for their protection?
This is a "right-wing" issue in the west only due to a concerted, misogynist campaign to silence the leftist radical feminists who first raised these issue years ago. There is no space to discuss these issues in the western progressive circles thereby ceding the critical debate to reactionary culture warriors.
@@decaygirl666careful your misogyny is showing
But literally where did either one of them say this? Why are you jumping to conclusion?

She keeps saying stuff like "certain" hierarchies/traditions/etc are necessary because society would collapse without them but without specifying the who, for what and why. If we need family hierarchy for children to be reared and educated in a stable safe environment then why not something else. If you do not ask and deal with those questions constantly, you're effectively establishing the validity of ideals emptied of historical determinations. It's like saying certain kinds of violence are necessary. The rational response to a statement like that is "but what are they and in what context" not "but what about this other lefty micro-org or cult leader advocating the diametrical opposite of that statement".
