#kyriarchy

Maybe someone should ask Behrouz Boochani, what he thinks of Herr Spud’s half-hearted (not that he even has one) attempt at an apology towards the victims of Robodebt and their families. #kyriarchy

He ranted about how not all White Cis Het Men are rich and powerful, that I was being divisive.

My answer was (and I stand by it)

I added what I added because it is true. I do not say things to be popular, I say things to get the truth out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersectionality

I did not say that all white cis het males are rich and powerful. I said that being any of those things does help. I know this, I am white and from a powerful nation. I grew up in an upper middle class neighborhood. I tested well above average in ability in school. I got a better primary and secondary education because of where I grew up. I even worked hard to try to be what society wanted (white, cis, het and male)

None of those things boosted me into wealth, in fact working to fit into the norm broke me. I have lived in poverty for the majority of my life.

After this he blocked me.

Telling the truth sometimes makes people mad.

A Cis Man had a toot that made sense to me but they then blocked me because I answered with intersectionalism.

The original toot was that we grew up thinking you needed to be intelligent to be wealthy or be a world leader

But it turns out you just need to have no shame and be willing to shoot yourself in the foot over and over and claim you're the victim :)

to this I added

in order to "get ahead" it also helps to be born into a family that already has either money or power and it helps even more to be born into a family with both money and power.

It also helps to be able to fit into the mold of what society considers "proper" (mostly white cis het male - each of those that you hit gives a boost)

but he flipped out about this because not ALL white cis het men are at the top of societies pyramid (strawman argument against intersectionalism

@tessthismess
I apologize, it seemed clear to me & to
@Sagaliciouzzz
that I meant a day for everyone who is not cis male

To preempt any opposition (you have no profile & are enigma)

Every day is a celebration of cis male privilege, in every society.

There is already a men's day
https://internationalmensday.com/ (non cis men have said they do not feel included)

Intersectional feminism does not ignore that kyriarchy harms all even cis men.

I am quite fed up of a system that puts all the onus on the disabled to educate people about ableism, on the non-white to educate people about racism, and on women (incl. trans) to educate people about misogyny.

TIL about #kyriarchy and find it very helpful to think about the complexity of oppression.

”A group of people can challenge one form of oppression while using their privileges to oppress others. We can be victims while being bullies.“ https://everydayfeminism.com/2014/04/kyriarchy-101/

Extrait et traduit :

Behrouz Boochani, demandeur d'asile Kurde-Iranien, a décrit la prison Manus Island comme un système Kyriarchique : différentes formes d'oppression s'y entrecroisent; l'oppression n'est pas aléatoire mais dirigée, pensée pour isoler et créer des tensions entre prisonniers, conduisant au désespoir et à briser les esprits. Il élabore cela dans son récit autobiographique "No Friends But the Mountains"

They are not going to be looking for a "#JordanPeterson on the left" because they have already internally dismantled that model.

The seeking of that kind of figure is inextricably entwined with BEING on the right, that is, buying into #kyriarchy.

Since I went to look a couple of things up in there: a reminder that one of my favourite books of the past few years, Data Feminism by @kanarinka and @laurenfklein is open access 🔓
https://data-feminism.mitpress.mit.edu/

It's full of ideas and examples, as well as best (and worst) practice. It shows how to collect, analyse and publish data in an inclusive, intersectional and feminist way. Cannot recommend highly enough; I treasure my physical copy.

This really needs screen reader friendly text and much more attention.

I cannot even figure out how to tag this

Hey, you know that group of people that you routinely block, calling them "trolls" and "edgelords," maybe based on the argument that you thought they were making up their identities just to draw negative attention to you?

Well, I happen to hang out with them in their own spaces, and some of them are doing exactly the same thing to you.

In both cases, what you are doing is shameful. You are crabs in a bucket, and it disgusts me. Kyriarchy disgusts me.

#Assimilationism is #kyriarchy. In the long-run, it won't even help you to throw other out-groups under the bus. Gratitude is not in the nature of those in power. They will come for you just as soon as everybody else is so broken and terrified as to no longer constitute any realistic threat to their strangling grip on the neck of society.

The revolution is slowly starting to organize. Be a part of it.

To get a picture of how #kyriarchy works, let's imagine a world that is populated only by triangles, circles, and squares, making this entirely abstract.

The circles are currently in power, but they could lose it if the the squares and the triangles ever unified.

Therefore, they give both the triangles and the squares false promises, "If you do the most to help keep me in power, I'll share a little with you."

You could illustrate this on a napkin with a pen without even being sober.

The Internet is a large place, and humans are diverse.

When you encounter groups that are outre and cringy even for the most liberal thinkers, though, it is very important to at least try to find representatives that you can talk to in good faith, even if some of them actually are fakes or demented.

When you accuse them of just being "trolls" or use them as a scapegoat for your own problems, you are acting exactly like crabs in a bucket. It's kyriarchy.
