I don’t understand why there are so many people who consider themselves “Marxist feminists”, but at the same time are distracted by astrology.
The origin of feminism is working class, and as a working class movement, it is materialist. I don’t know if they at least know what dialectical materialism is, since they don’t see such an abysmal contradiction between astrology (pseudoscience) and feminism (materialism).
They remind me of the liberal “feminist” Gloria Steinem.
And the same with some anarchists.
What do you think about it?
The messianic belief in an AI that will save us all that many (male) techbros have absolute faith in is a million times cringier than astrology. And not only is it just a very cringey reinvention of the Abrahamic god by so-called atheists who disbelieve and disparage said god, but it also has a direct material impact by accelerating climate change. How much is chasing the AI dragon just them trying to find God with cyberpunk characteristics? When past spiritual and religious people try to find God, they usually have the decency to live in a cave and leave the rest of us alone, not burn down entire forests so they can divine that 1+1=3.
