I hate the word "intersectionality" because it is such a pathetic attempt to seem intelligent by non-STEM fields. In STEM fields, "multi-variable" holds a similar definition; however, with greater weight to it. Whenever a subject introduces multi-variable problems, it becomes immensely difficult to grasp and solve. An example of a multi-variable problem is fluid flow, specifically the Navier-Stokes equation. An equation so difficult that if you solve or disprove it, you are awarded with a million (USD) dollars.
To circumvent this difficulty, engineers rely on equations contrived from experimental data to create products. These equations are not derived from the Navier-Stokes equation. They simply come from fitting curves onto large sets of data of a very, very specific condition. Sometimes, these equations come out simple and sometimes they are ungodly. While data interpretation can be political, it is difficult to politicize the equations unless the data itself is tampered with.
As I am writing this, my mind drifts to that scene in Jurassic Park (the film) in which Malcolm, the mathematician, argues with Hammond, the owner, and Gennaro, the lawyer, over the morality of creating genetically-altered dinosaurs and placing them within fences for people to gawk at. While any connection between creating/caging dinosaurs and intersectionality may seem absurd and contrived, it is the failure by the users in which there is a commonality: humility.
Intersectionality is an attempt to solve incredibly complex problems, more complex than the Navier-Stokes equation, and solve those problems but without any of the humility required by said problems. Believers and preachers of intersectionality become so entrenched in its idealized applications and possibilities that they fail to see the forest before the tree. They fail to respect the problems and consider the repercussions of their own solutions. They say words of any opposition are violent, but they never consider the possibility of their own words to be.
One example of violence is capitalism.
If capitalism is violent, then they are great capitalists, especially for the powers that be. They package and sell their solutions to political groups and corporations in the name of the so-called common good, yet, do not understand the actual application of said solutions.
I have much more to divulge into, especially with how this relates to nihilism, the individual, the collective, and the death of the Christian God and the nuclear family. However, I am tired of hearing myself think for now so I will go into how this relates to crony capitalism.
#1:
Crony capitalism relies upon the death of individualism. A new manifestation of this is the rise of the corporatized "family".
Because of the death of the nuclear family, it has been embedded in law that school i.e. government will act in some form as parents for a neglected child. However, this is a bastardized version of what a parent and family are. This feeling of a benevolent and ambiguous force providing for children leaves young adults yearning for such a force in the early years of their adult life. This is shown by the climate in universities. One specific example that comes to mind is the Yale student who yells at a professor that this is her home and that his words are disrupting her home. While universities acting as so called parents and creating a family for young adults is obvious. Many do not see this trend continuing into the corporate and political realms.
Corporations now advertise inclusivity and community within themselves to appeal to young people. The advertisements utilize familial rhetoric and images of employees working and playing together to instigate a warm feeling of comfort similar to a stable family. However, this display is insidious. A corporation is not and never will be a family. A corporation is dedicated to the powers that be.
Creating a sense of family in a corporation increases retention rates and creates hesitation in the individual concerning disruption. If the individual feels safe in this family, why would he leave or cause contention among other family members? If he does, he loses that warm, child-like feeling and becomes existentially lost. This allows for corporations to easily change the financial terms agreed upon with the individual. It is similar to a product used for years and years by the individual. If the terms of service change to negatively impact individual, will said individual stop using the product? Most likely not.
A relevant example is the announcement by Starbucks to pay for the sexual reassignment surgeries of its transgender employees. The announcement seems like it would destroy the company financially and is an attempt at progressive grandstanding. However, what it actually does is tap into a zealous wave of new employees. As Kiwifarms has seen over and over again with the transgender community, the individual does not exist in said community and the collective consciousness rules all. By appealing to the collective consciousness, Starbucks will envelope the bulk of the transgender community as its workers and supporters, ultimately, creating a workforce zealous for a corporation that has corporatized its collective consciousness. Again, with a work force so dedicated to the family feeling the corporation generates, why would they leave or create disruption even when the corporation begins to change the terms of employment to negatively impact the individual.
#2:
Apart from family, crony capitalism also relies upon lawful imprisonment for a consistent workforce.
Both the typical proponents and opponents of gun control fail to realize the corporate influence that comes with gun control policies. While gun control policies negatively affect arms-producing corporations, it is immensely useful to more powerful corporations as imprisonment provides a cheap workforce.
Enacting stricter gun control policies is not due to a tyrannical government but due to tyrannical corporations. The true corporate purpose of policies, like bullet micro-stamping, is not to increase the incarceration rate but increase the time spent incarcerated. It is inherent in criminals that they will not obey new gun control laws, thereby, further stacking charges against them when apprehended. Even when a plea bargain is struck, charges from new gun control policies are used as a decoy to still incarcerate the criminal for more years than previously.
Again, with a longer incarceration times, the retention rate for corporations who contract work from privatized prisons is higher which is ultimately cheaper and more productive than constantly needing to teach new workers.
In the end, I am not sure if I believe this or not as it implies that corporations are solely sociopathic but this trend could also could be completely unintentional and just a natural progression of things. Either way, I took some thoughts and ran with them as far as I want to right now. It could all be total shit so I don't want to waste my time with further dumbass thoughts expanding upon it.
