Incel billionaire accelerationist white boys want hypermasculinised cyborg-bodies 'cos they were bullied as kids or unloved by their dads, but wanna shit on everyone else's rights / attempts to be their True Self or a Better Me.

its wild how easy it is for people with obscene privilege to lose the plot completely.

Totally. And they drag all their little aggrieved acolytes / stanboys along in their wake, fuelling and legitimising them too, making the world crappier and more horrible. Screw 'em ✊ ❤️

I think the transhumanists are pro-trans, they're just so into the life-extension abundance stuff they look the other way at the trans and gay bashing. That's sort of the deal with the devil they've made with the MAGA world.

i would argue if you look the other way with trans bashing you're not pro-trans.

They want to have the cool robot arms like in the TV show they like but they don't wanna get cooties

the cognitive dissonance to be like "we are destined to transcend our human form" and at the same time be like "BOYS ARE BOYS AND GIRLS ARE GIRLS" is just stunning

like the venn diagram of transgender people and transhumanists should be a fucking perfect circle.

its another symptom of our debased and spoiled capitalist hellscape that these people can somehow hold the beliefs they do while eschewing our entire identities.

"Transhumanism allows us to be whatever we want to be," says Rick Schneepo, who has installed a brain implant that allows him to turn protein-rich gruel in Javascript with 3% greater efficiency, "but none of us can actually think of anything cool to be other than a rich, cisgender white guy..."

midnightmasseffect.bsky.social•8 days ago

oh gawd that was so accurate it hurt to read lol

myuphrid.bsky.social•8 days ago

I'll admit, I didn't come up with the "gruel into Javascript" thing. That's a much older bit.

midnightmasseffect.bsky.social•8 days ago

fair play, but the bit about not being able to think up anything cooler to be was real af

Surgically applied tentacles, extra thumbs: based, biblical

Spironolactone: abomination against being made in his image

Sildenafil for an old white dude: based, biblical - his boner is sacred and he deserves to feel sacred

The same drug for a trans woman - abomination, burn the witch
