Fascinating stuff. I've just finished reading Feminism Against Progress and I think Mary is one of the most important writers in the world right now. Looking forward to part 2.
Agreed. She's read, observed, and thought her way to escape velocity from the zeitgeist. The kind of perspective I feel compelled (perhaps morally obligated) to learn from and signal boost right now.
Well put. The short clips of Dan Andrews in your video were particularly effective. I endured lockdown in Melbs and hearing his tyrannical babble gave me chills. It seems like so long ago already, I'm amazed at how many people feel like everything is back to normal.....
Living through that while navigating the internet for information outside of the Covidton window and speaking to a European epidemiologist regularly was a turning point for me. Seeing how effective the engineered information bubble could be at that level was unsettling.
Covidton Window, that is such an apt description. It's amazing how fast a society can become tyrannical in a time of infectious disease. The activation of the disgust response made so many people willing to throw equality out the window and embrace a two-tiered social hierarchy. Fascinating to observe, especially as it came predominantly from the left, which was unexpected.
I expected something like it from there. It's more or less an extension of what I'd been looking at for several years. The contemporary left are hyper care/harm-focused and big on discourse engineering. They've been this way for quite some time.
...and to think the left once were the loudest advocates of free speech...the Overton window hasn't just shifted, it's slid clean off its rails altogether....

Is Mary Waffle House Wendy?

I get the impression that if shit were to go down Mary would have a little WHW in her.
A bit confused here if part 2 is now behind a paywall despite the "subscribe free" call to action, or if it has not yet been uploaded.
It goes out today.
