Honestly, i think a fuckton of it comes down to resenting mom for telling them to clean their room.

And the sexism!

Gawd! Translation: She was had. Damn ignorant sickos! These MAGA women’s actions caused massive death and destruction. And this “intellectual” nonsense mea culpa? Again: Gawd!

I'm one of the older generation and I'd say the wisdom I'd impart is that all absolutes asserted in a political context are at best wrong and more likely duplicitous. And I realise the above is an assertion which you need to be cautious of.

"if you thought evo psych race-science bullshit was kind of like gnosticism, that’s on you" *eyeing Theosophists* Seems to be a recurring problem!

Use a dictionary.

There’s no missing word there, but I can see why it might come across that way. The phrase “received wisdom” is an adjective and a noun, not a verb and a noun. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/receive...

Yeah go ahead and write things that don't communicate. Feel free.

Young adult no like hear grownup say thing about how world function but even if grownup annoying, race science still extremely bad

I don't know what you expect from me here. Communication is about a common understanding. Are you trying to communicate something?

Sealioning.

You could start with identifying which words and/or phrases you’re having trouble with. Be clear and specific about the location and nature of the problem.

You’re telling on yourself, bro.

Everything from "will my parents approve of me" to "will I ever afford a house" to "politics seems scary/broken" to "is WW3 coming" to "where can I get a job," .... The youngs feel like the world doesn't make sense, and human minds look for ways to cope, to make sense.

Some people just think they can throw a word around to make their shitty behavior seem like some sort of intellectual exercise. Fucking "frisson" too. "I wasn't racist for the white picket fences, man. I just did it for the kicks!"

They teach about gnosticism in philosophy classes? Genuine question

I was once explaining the history of racism in America to my then-5-year-old in terms she could understand. She said, “Boy I’m glad all that is over and we learned better!” And I had to take my baby by the hands and say “Oh my love. It will never be over. They just got better at hiding it.”

lmao

This stuff happens every generation, almost like white people continually look for something to justify their self-perceived superiority...

Arguably hate is the ultimate received wisdom so not sure if your argument stands. More like "Ugh, I want to do that as well myself"

It is like gnosticism, in the sense that it's stupid, and heretical, and immoral.

Wars are a big one but more generally government contractors. I worked for the federal government for 5 years and honestly the amount of useless crap that the government pays contractors for is utterly absurd.

This. I also realized that my naïve and ethically nuanced version of libertarian thinking was NOT shared by virtually anybody else who called themselves a libertarian. They just wanted to be free to be racist, to not pay taxes, and to have legal weed.

i can buy “i as a woman bought what the right were selling, but now i see it’s a cage much more restrictive than the one i thought wokescolds put me in.” “groypers were cool 2022, but not now” is like, what

Context is funny when you see replies first: I thought maybe the above tweet was from an Imelda Marcos type...

1000% this. like, i came of age in peak south park times, i know you can get a rush out of edgy stuff when suddenly there are no parents to police you. but like, it shouldn’t take a good person long to realize *why* some words and ideas have sharp edges, and who they cut when used

Yeah, I was a solipsistic asshole in my early twenties but even I wouldn't have fallen for this shit.

my parents grew up in the 60s and idolized hippies -- we talked about politics at the dinner table when I was like 10 lol I also think it should be impossible to have a conscience and not be ... which means you've done a great job there

“Frisson of transgression” is my new band name.

damn girl, you're so brave and radical for believing white people are better than everyone and women should stay in the kitchen. very counterculture of you

it's wild if you use fancy enough words you can just say "I enjoyed being a bad person" like this

WTF is with these trad people? Also there's definitely 1000x's more quiet suburban folks turned anti-ice activists. Where is there big article and discussion of "frissons"? Heck - how about the i was pissed/am still pissed crowd? I'm frisson all over.

Why do all these assholes right the same? "I was in love with the frisson of transgression" sounds just like the slop Olivia Nuzzi put out.

It all reduces to: “Americans were bored so they decided to fuck with things to entertain themselves.”

Hello Sharks, my invention is a drone that monitors conversations and dive bombs any individual caught saying “frisson of transgression”

anytime I see a writer use the word "firebrand" to describe these hateful little 4chan trolling shits I nope right out

thank you for this

this is the closest any of these articles ever got to an honest "the vitriolic racism really appealed to me"

how the fuck does it have anything to do with gnosticism. that's so fucking stupid

She Britta’d it.

I actually think people like this are worse than the 'true believer'. They at least think they're right. This is just straight-up "I know this is wrong, but I decided to do it anyway. For fun!"

So she was horny for racism?

A soupçon of licentiousness, if you will

I don't want to speak out of turn here, but I don't think there actually was an element of gnosticism to it! At all! RIP my mentions I guess.

"I never thought the frisson of transgression would eat MY face," sobs local Frisson Of Transgression Eating People's Faces Party voter

If being epistemologically broke is a thrill, that’s a skill issue. People don’t shun those things because they’re forbidden secrets to hidden power. It’s all dumb bullshit cooked up by intellectually lazy grifters. Want a real thrill? Try being right for once, figuring something out frfr.

The edgiest of edgelord shit. 🙄

these people are incapable of talking like normal people

“The frisson of transgression” is an… interesting way to phrase that.

this is called "having a fetish"

Leopards, faces, etc.

Couldn’t she just have gotten into BDSM?

Well said Ty! 👍🙌

Oh yeah. This isn't my theory, it's exploded on here. I'm not even sure who started it but they were dead on.

When I was 12 I was afraid of the violent chaos of boys who spat slurs at girls, and the bot-like girls who policed each other’s looks, and the teachers who didn’t care as long as they were unchallenged and “our” sports teams won. I don’t understand how it’s edgy to align with that.

Our phones have made us all mentally ill but not in exactly the same way

I'm a flabby, saggy, balding Xer, and I hated being 12 the first time around, so fuck off with a reboot.

Eight, but with the hormones of a fifteen year old. "Girls are icky" coupled with "Dear fnord I want to put my dick in something" energy.

And, hate to break this to ya dumplin, but you will be saggy and balding one day too.

Article says that she was finishing college in 2020 so she's probably in her late twenties.

Me when I forget how to spell Yaldabaoth...

That's exactly what they are. They all have various degrees of oppositional defiance disorder.

It's reeeeaaaaaally hard to accept that she was being racist "for the lulz". She might have seen how ugly it could get and decided she didn't like that, but how does one get a ticket for that trip without paying?

I got into the ice cream shop for the turd-flavored ice cream. Now they just want to sell me the vomit-flavored ice cream, so I'm outta here!

Hilarious to read this as my anti-all that nonsense makes bread. Which is amazing.

I'd have to ask my partner who regularly attended gnostic services growing up, because I wouldn't have a clue.

If I'm hearing a phrase like this I better be hearing about a James Bond movie costarring Olga Kurylenko

Secret knowledge that's only possessed by the select few is classic cult shit.

OMG edit button!! epithet!!

We have a generation of Serena Joy, shocked - SHOCKED I tell you - that evil assholes are evil assholing.

Leopards and faces. She sounds like a real tedious asshole. She wanted to believe in forbidden things like racism and sexism! She didn't think that would come with consequences like being devalued based on her sex!

Nazi shit right here. I'm calling it out.

Quelle surprise!

That's a lot of words to say: "I want to a racist [bleep]bag."

There's a whole class of people to whom politics is just a game they play because they're bored. They are protected from the outcomes of that game by wealth and privilege. Many of them are the thought leaders and pundits everyone's reading.

This is so fucking funny she just wanted to be a counterculture cool bitch but instead of becoming a witch she became a Nazi because she was already racist. What a fucking loser lol

When you think you're in Wilhoit, but end up in Niemoller

if she wants to be a nazi so bad she should follow her leader

And subservience

Yeah get a real fetish you freaks, like feets or farts, something normal instead of fuckin’ evolutionary race science!

"every girl goes through a shoplifting or holocaust denying phase, amirite?"

Transgressively fighting to return to the life of being little more than a broodmare

Can I be punk rock but completely shit, no tunes or swag, and in service of atavistic traditions?

This is what happens when you never have a queer, punk, or emo period.

You gotta be frisson kidding me

“I had no principles, so dabbling in white supremecy and fascism seemed like fun.”

I blame 50 shades of grey.

What happened to having an affair? Just go fuck the gardener to get your thrills instead of being racist online

"It wasn't the false promises of an idyllic existence that brought me in, it was the racism" is a hell of an apologia.

First off "there was an element of gnosticism in it" the fuck does that? She sounds dumb. Second yeah we've all been young and messy with our ideology but never once was i like "hmm you know maybe the jews do control the world" or shit like that

“I joined the right so I could be racist, not sexist” - this asshole probably

"I didn't want to be a race traitor, but I was pretty okay with being a traitor against my fellow women, until it became clear I wasn't going to be treated like a special exception to the misogyny." 🙄

I saw The Frisson of Transgression open for Universal Order of Armageddo.

Gnosticism oh my god

I want to tattoo "Your Rights are Next" in reverse on her forehead so she can read that in the mirror every morning

"I was in love with the frisson of transgression" can't you do a drug or cheat on your husband or something

I got it 😂

when "I think I should be allowed to say the n-word" becomes your entire personality
