calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 9hIf this is the case I'm thinking of, a girl at a frat party who was already drunk was given ketamine without her consent, and when she blacked out, the frat boys sent around texts along the lines of "free use," and took turns SAing her while she was unconscious. I may be thinking of a different case 220

calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 10hI think that's critical in the development of effective deradicalization procedures and in figuring how to actually stop this from every happening again. We failed once so whatever we tried last time didn't work. 110
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 10hI understand it's hard to grasp how they could be so horrible, but this *is* my nazi example: they're humans, and it really sucks that humans can do such awful things. I think it's important we reckon with that rather than just assume they're specifically brain broken somehow. 120
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 11hYes I do, I believe in degrees of harm, and that restorative justice should adapt to it. I mean ideally serial rape is something we can almost entirely eliminate if we can get a functional justice system. 110
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 21hAnd in doing so falling lockstep into republican messaging. Never back down from being an ally, but also, if they try to talk about transing the kids or whatever tf, the answer should always be "why are you trying to distract from the real issues that actually affect people?" 1100
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 21hSomehow the Spanish got the majority of their economy operating on anarcho syndicalist principles for a couple years apparently by just going around and telling people about it a lot. 130
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 21hWe've had a couple solutions that "worked" throughout history, for different definitions of "worked." Mao figured it out twice, for example. Once on the side of real news once on the side of fake. The soviets as well. Personally I'm fascinated by the Spanish syndicalists. 110

calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 21hIn case anyone else stumbles here: > No law... no disapproval applied to any sexual practice of any kind, except the rape of child or woman, for which the rapist's neighbors were likely to provide summary revenge if he did not get promptly into the gentler hands of a therapy center. 000
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 21hDid you read The Disposessed? If not I think you'll like it, that was Le Guin's theory for rapists as well. 200
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 21hYeah... I personally just don't like social media as a means to communicate. In the same "thread" or however it's called you'll have people expressing solidarity, venting their frustration, and nitpicking ideology. I wish I could read this room better, I'm bad enough at reading rooms IRL. 100
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 21hRegarding centering victims yeah that I wish we knew how to do. It's why I grabbed that book I linked earlier when I saw it on the shelf 010
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 21hOh you mean as opposed to not calling him a rapist. Sure no I don't think of it as woke scolding. 110
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 21hOh but that does remind me I meant to ask - regarding labels like these, do you have some mechanism in your ideology for their removal? Reason being one theory of justice would be if you label a criminal permanently, they're incentivized to do nothing other than live a life of crime. 100
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 21hThats a good question. I gotta think about it. I might think of it similar to how I think about voting - nice, by all means do it, ultimately ineffectual, but serves to make someone feel better about things. Which I don't think is necessarily bad. By all means call him a rapist, he is one. 200
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 21hSure personally I never really cared about the label thing, but I'm just trying to secondary clarify their position, I've encountered it before and see the merits. 200
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 21hI think we probably do mostly agree. I never engage in this kind of picking-through-the-ideology IRL or when reactionaries are present, I hate leftist infighting. I also think it's important that there's people like you out there unflinching on centering on the horror of the violation. 100
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 21hAnd I think part of it is because so much of media and politics is under control by rapists, they enter an unspoken agreement to leverage their power to protect each other if another violation is exposed. See Epstein. Elephant graveyard did a good video on this recently re: Joe Rogan. 210
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 21hI use the term on purpose to highlight its ineffectiveness. People get yelled at on Twitter and bluesky which aren't real and don't matter, and then they make a career out of it by joining the boys club of rapists. -- 110
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 22hA dogmatism that leaves a group open to become just as horrible. It happened to the Israelis and now they're committing the worse genocide in living memory. "Jewish people could never do this, their ideology and way of life is nothing like those Nazi animals!" Nope they're just people. 210
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 22hbecause humans do do these awful things. If you want to call it uncivilized behavior or something sure, but the idea is we don't write it off as a problem we don't actually have to deal with because, well, only some kinds of people do it. Non people. WE would never do it, we're people! 210
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 22hThat wasn't their argument, you're strawmanning them. They're applying a consistent ideology of humanization, which requires expanding it to include the worst of human behavior. Equivalent would be refusing to call nazis animals, to ensure we don't write it of as things humans don't do -- 110
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 22hIf your ideology doesn't include restorative justice, this isn't really an issue imo. Chuck'm in jail, feel the thrill of revenge, done. 110
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 22hSure but you do need some kind of solution for, sadly, when not if a rape happens between members of your coalition, and ideally that solution is in line with your general ideology or the exception will eventually be applied in other circumstances. 100
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 22hBut in the end we are talking about various degrees of malicious behavior that has a named victim or victims, so I do think the mechanism of handling them would be similar in kind if not degree. Rape is just the worst one, next to murder. In some ways maybe makes it the best topic for this convo 100
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 22hBlowback doesn't need to be experienced personally, one problem in our society with rape is people don't see any blowback. At worse they see woke scolding, and then watch a perp turn that into a career as a right wing grifter. If the country didn't elect SAers it would probably be different. 210

calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 22hChanging someone else's behavior is tenfold in investment. I think it's worth the effort though, because the alternative is either constant ideological warfare and being held back by a ball of chain of a population we haven't bothered to deradicalized, or, idk, wiping them out? Both untenable to me. 000
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 22hChanging behavior is something I'm very interested in. Take yourself and pick a goal - random, maybe, to get good at figure sketching - what behavior change do you need in yourself to achieve that, over what time scale? A fairly significant one imo. -- 100
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 22hMany Trump supporters are working class. That means they're class allies. There's an angle to get them on our side. History bears this out. 100

If we don't expect people to graduate highschool being able to actually read (we don't, by the way, go look up literacy rates), how can we expect them to deep dive politics beyond what they hear causally? 100
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 22hand nobody is meaningfully countering his points because his accusations against them were mostly right!

calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 22hSpeaking specifically of people you're calling dumb, not racists: they do act like humans, all day, every day. So do you. Are they dumb? The State has failed repeatedly to meaningfully improve their lives, and this guy comes around and points out a bunch of (some true most not) reasons for this -- 100
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I'm saying that in my senior year of highschool in Texas, a significant portion of my classmates couldn't really read. 000
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Idk I mean there's definitely racist Trump supporters, quite a few, but like, have you talked to some of these people? It really does just come down to gas price for a lot of them in my experience. I have no way of measuring things at a countrywide scale though. 110
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The question is modern relevant not only for trump but also: assuming we can stop Israelis genocide, what do we do then with a nation that's like 90% full of racial supremacists? 010
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 04/10/2026True. The interesting thing about Nuremberg is that a nation of nazis went on to just... Live their lives. Including members of the Nazi party. I personally wonder if denazification went anywhere near far enough but I also don't think you could have just gulagd them all. 210
calebjay.com @calebjay.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I should clarify this excludes the rich fucks who voted for him with malicious understanding of what they were doing. Class warfare angle.
