Protesilaos aka “Prot” is a well-known member of the Emacs community, being the author of several popular packages. I unfortunately just learned about an anti-feminist rant he posted to his website 5 days ago (Sep 5). I don’t want to link it, but it is easily found if you desire.
His philosophy just sucks, he’s not as smart as he thinks he is, he’s stuck arguing with himself over his own abstractions
In short, he equates feminism with individualism in order to “prove” that feminism and socialism don’t mix (and he doesn’t like socialism anyway)
shut the fuck up Prot
This man is politically illiterate… I’m reading it and just… Wtf? Does he even know what hes saying? Genuinely, cause like, he starts from an (incorrect) axiom, and then derives inane nonsense based on… Something? I can’t figure out his logic. He makes leaps and bounds without anything to inform them, his drivel isnt worth reading I’m stopping after a few paragraphs but good god damn.
Sucks tho. I dont use his packages but people said they were good. Fuck him.
Grey tribe/neoractionary/fascist writing is almost always like this. They don’t operate at one level, they’re constantly trying to incorporate information at smaller and bigger scales that don’t work together: various crime statistics, various anecdotes about women in their life, Greek tragedies, music lyrics, online memes, etc. They create this tapestry that seems convincing because it has all these supporting examples to people who already want to believe but to anyone who’s skeptical it’s scattered and nonsensical.
I had a friend who wrote like this but fortunately he stuck to episode recaps of Lost, where it was almost appropriate.
I also can’t follow his writing; what point is he trying to make exactly? It all just reads like conservative rambling that comes off as very egotistical.
The only package of his I use is Modus themes, but that’s because they’re included in Emacs.
I read through most of it and totally agree with your analysis. Politically illerate is a nice way to put it, but those conclusions are something else.
