    Anti™ • trauma-informed jungian urbanist • @paaunow • CLE advocate • secularist • punk as fk 🇵🇸

    What the fuck kind of leftist describes themselves as Jungian? I’ve only seen that associated with Jordan Peterson cultists.

      They could be a Jordan Peterson person. I have a friend who got into an argument with me about how he thought he was “more left” than me when I called Natalie Wynn a liberal, and he also had a period where he thought Peterson was cool. I don’t really know how that happened, because the whole thing that made Peterson popular was transphobia and this friend of mine was utterly immersed in trans friends, acquaintances, lovers, etc. But I never really looked into Peterson back then so when he was like “nah he’s not what everyone says” i was kind of just like “alright whatever, some random canadian guy isnt a big deal”

      anyway, moral of the story i guess is people are fuckin incoherent

      I think we’ve just reached the point where gender critical or radfem isn’t dogwhistly enough anymore, so she has to go with jungian and “being a gay person mortally afraid of coming off as too queer is the new punk rock”.

      I mean, i’m guessing here, but come on, if she wants to control other people’s uteruses in case of an unwanted pregnancy, she won’t be fine with other people getting that shit removed when it’s giving them gender dysphoria. I can’t think of any anti-abortion activist who isn’t also transphobic, particularly not when they are backed by some fundi org that throws way too much money at weird ops like this.

      This sounds like: “Who listens to Wagner, i’ve only seen nazis do it.” It can be the case, but doesnt have to be.

        Sure but if you say you’re a Jungian leftist I’m going to start looking for your judas goat opinion. I like Tristan und Isolde, but I’d never call myself a Wagnerite in the same way I would a Mahler Chad because it’s so far outside of the modernism that you’d expect from the left. It’s a very different intellectual thread coming from very different ideological sources.
