Helen lectures on systems of power and falls on her face.
You see, it's ridiculous that "critical social justice" or "the woke" believe that there are systems of power that are hard to see. That sounds like dew-pearled faerie webs, doesn't it. You say you see them? Really??? 1/

Balderdash, says Helen. Most people don't see such webs. Webs of power are therefore an ideological hallucination. There; done with that argument.

I mean the oppressive class system . . . shit, try again . . . I mean the idea that class is a divide and the slayers on one side need to work together and find some not-always-visible commonality, stand united, develop a critical consciousness so as to fight . . . oh, fuck. 5/

Unrelated. But isn’t #JamesLindsay just lovely? So lovely. #HelenPluckrose must be titillated to have walked her criticism of his derangement back—all the way back—and happy to be joined together again while promoting her newest project.
