Military boot camps don’t work and neither does draconian welfare policies, but that doesn’t matter to the Right because this isn’t about well thought out rational logic, this is about ‘feelings’.
The Right Wing reactionary vote is spooked and made angry by crime as our News media sell ‘if-it-bleeds-it-leads’ click bait, so much so that they want kids to be punished with military boot camps, even if research shows it doesn’t work.
Likewise bashing beneficiaries, there’s no research that says treating beneficiaries harshly helps finds jobs or builds resilience or indeed helps with poverty, but there is lots that says it’s fucked.
We live in an age where rational objective logic is a heteronormative white male privilege so you can win an argument simply be ‘feeling’ it more.
The Woke Left weaponised ‘lived experience’ as part of their Intersectionist Victim Roulette where the weakest voice gets most attention.
If, ‘Man, I feel like a Woman’ was now a philosophical green light to the subjective woke reality, well the Right could adopt the exact same new evidential threshold being ‘feelings’.
This is the new politics of the neoliberal subjective!
We have too many fucking feelings and we have allowed a culture where feelings trump rational objective logic because the ‘lived experience’ of victims, racists, rednecks, Incels, feral antivaxers and woke middle class activists all replace reality, objective truth and class solidarity.
The only people who should give a fuck about your ‘feelings’ are you, your family and close friends.
Outside of that, fuck your feelings.
Your feelings ain’t my problem.
If your self-esteem is hurt by my thoughts, the clue is in the ‘self’ part of word, ‘self-esteem’.
You decide how you feel about shit, it ain’t no one else’s problem OR responsibility!
We have replaced feelings for rational debates.
We have replaced feelings for objective truth.
We have replaced feelings for wider context.
The Woke started this in 2016 with their social media Lynch mobs, the feral Right have now perfected it.
Everything we are seeing right now from this far right racist Government is ‘feelings’ based, not evidence based!
This Government is passing conspiracy theories into social policy because deranged antivaxxers ‘feel’ angry about a vaccination.
This Government will cut public funding to Community Sports if they have a Trans player because their angry anti-Trans voters ‘feel’ angry!
This Government is bashing beneficiaries, prisoners, renters, Māori, the environment and workers because the right wing voters ‘feel’ angry no matter how counterproductive those culture war revenge fantasies are!
FFS – we are seriously going to go against all the science and just raise the speed limits on roads because people feel angry at not being able to rush home!
Simeon Brown has weaponised your impatience to justify MORE ROAD DEATHS FFS!
Fuck! Your! Feelings!
The Right have perfected the Woke’s outrage olympics and all politics is now a ‘vibe’!
The greatest danger posed by Idenity Politics is if white males start seeing themselves as a victim as well, which is exactly what the woke managed to achieve.
If we on the Left will be dictated to by our feelings, then the fucking Right will gleefully play that game too!
Can the Left move from Pure Temple politics towards Broadchurch Class Solidarity, because if we can’t, the most hard right racist Government ever elected will remain in power.
The new politics of the neoliberal subjective have robbed us of a unity based on rational logic and argument and replaced it with the sandcastles of feelings.
I’m not interested in your feelings, I am interested in your thinkings!
New Zealand Aotearoa deserves a State that helps the people and builds the nation, not one that tears everything down and punishes those their voters despise!
We should base policy on evidence, not fucking feelings!
Fuck.
Your.
Feelings.
Well let’s get some sensible laws & ditch Ardern’s ones based on fear & feelings.
Trample a new section of society each week is the new national sport for which they will give them selves a gold medal .
Unfortunately Jacinda brought feeling into the equation. At first it was a breath of fresh air but then covid struck and she had to be tough which upset some .After the threat had pasted she tried to be kind again but she had lost her audience and they turned on her.
Now we have Luxon who is practicing tough love .Only time will tell if he has read the room right.
And there are at least a million who wish she was here right now ,and another thousand that are only too pleased she is not as their wallets get fuller by the day .
fuck your feelings.
Fuck! Your! Feelings!
