• #BLOG • 💬 Violences sexuelles: la grande diversion d’Éric Zemmour

Dans son dernier livre, le polémiste d’extrême droite Éric Zemmour met en cause le travail de notre rédaction sur les violences sexistes et sexuelles. Tout en omettant, à l’unisson d’une grande partie de la presse, les accusations qui le visent.

Hey, remember that time when America's ultra-rich tried to pull a fascist coup and install a military dictator, no not last January I mean the one back when Hitler and Mussolini were alive and the models? And how it was financed by such names as Irenee Du Pont, Thomas Lamont of J.P. Morgan, Grayson Murphy from Goodyear etc., and was uncovered almost by accident by that major who wrote "War is a Racket", then everybody pretended it wasn't a big deal and looked the other way and only a random recruiter agent was punished as a scapegoat?

If you want to listen to the full story of the Business Plot in a high-production values, exceedingly engaging audio documentary, check out the Reaction podcast https://reactionpod.podbean.com .

Her other reports are also fascinating, I loved the one about the origins of detective fiction copaganda tropes in the actual wild west by the real-life Pinkerton Agency (spoiler: it's about beating up strikers). The Pinkertons also published pulp of themselves – the two sides, the reality and the glamour, were interplaying from the start.

Narrative work. Prefiguration. Entryism.

One. Tell people we can be better. A better world isn’t just possible, it’s tried & tested. Show examples. Spread ideas. Shift the discourse from defeatism to what it can be. This toot is narrative work.

Two. Create better spaces right now. Within our constrained possibilities, of course; but at work, in the family, relationships, bring the values to reality, learn to deal with the contradictions, let the waves ripple.

Three. When forced to participate in these rotten systems, do your best to subvert them. Increase the space in the cages. Redirect resources. Tilt the balance. (But beware when fighting monsters.)

All change needs this buildup. Big flashy takeovers are harvest day, this is the seed and the tiling and the watering. This is work to be done, and we can do it right now, every bit is meaningful. No single one of us can save the world, but it more than adds up. It resonates.

If you do this work, you are the revolution.

@shahaan @ljwrites Their intuition is correct, tho. Governments need patriarchy, are in fact an extension of patriarchy. If boys start having feelings they won't kill in colonial wars for you, and without a brutalised armed force the State doesn't expand or sustain itself because, as history shows richly, non-State peoples simply refuse it. It's not a coincidence that all States are patriarchal, and all of them (not, as white leftists often suppose, just the Christian ones) hostile to queerness and gender transgression. Femboys are a strike to the core of the system

Today’s card is The Lovers, wishing you unity, harmony, inspiration, and trust today.
