- prototype notes
- the heart of how Existentialism in particular generates capitalism and anticommunism, how Deleuze and Guattari are essentially just screwing us over by exalting what oppresses us all. everyone's conception of progress is fundamentally this weird kind of "Freedomism" where it's thought that the exact opposite of any particular social oppression is Freedom. this is dangerous because it takes the notion of "solidarity" that emerged during the French Revolution and breaks the whole thing in two. if you think Freedom is the secret to everything (or even that Lived Experience is) then nobody will ever be required to form an enduring group which experiences solidarity, full stop. people will just look at their own needs and whenever their biological organism experiences suffering they'll get up and leave — exactly the way people left East Germany just because being in group of people doesn't make survive good. center-Liberals try to rapidly toss water out of the sinking ship by asserting that people have to be bound together by morality, and surely if nobody has to be connected they'll all connect together just because not standing with marginalized people against racists is morally wrong, but that doesn't really work. morality can never overcome ability and disability. if people are "free" to do whatever they will always desert you the moment the ability of their biological organism to perform the actual actions that help you drops off. this is how the notion of progressive struggles gets vulgarized into "the few people who are able to leave donations donating money". that is baseline existence before progress happens. donations are the symptom of everyone having separate parallel existences and not actually being able to help each other with anything because they are each individually struggling to stay alive. donations punish disability and reward the people who miraculously have the physical ability to do what is required of them whether or not anyone has made the requirements clear or left everybody to flail.

- it is safe to label this one false, even if it's tentative, due to the serious life-or-death consequences it has for identity politics and anti-racism. as long as this dynamic exists, anyone can Freely Choose not to participate in anti-racist efforts or not to support Palestine, and you can't really make them. that is a problem for creating a world where fewer people die for stupid reasons.
