When u think of Democrats as offering a worldview through which people will try to understand their lives, it’s not good
people are disenfranchised and disaffected and “we live in a meritocracy except for bias against women and people of color” doesn’t even attempt to give everyone a framework for the fact that their life prospects don’t look great anymore ?? what r u supposed to do with that
a little more context, from Pierre Bourdieu’s Language and Symbolic Power

Jill Stauffer’s ‘Ethical Loneliness’ is so good
Soon after my sister was diagnosed I had an experience where people harmed me and I was desperately begging for help resolving it and they just responded with total indifference, like my suffering just didn’t matter at all. It was destabilizing in a deep way
On my metaethical view this kind of destabilization conceptually deep, bc our evaluative concepts are connected to other people’s in a way that makes disregard appear to us as *disagreement* with our evaluation of our worth and the significance of our pain

“Hmm this civil unrest doesn’t seem strategic to me” is so fuckin loaded with american ideology, I want to write 20 papers about it
anglo culture is extremely obsessed with REASONABLENESS and being RATIONAL and people love making evaluations through that lens whether it makes sense or not
