The Biopolitics of Sex & "Progressive" Agents of a Neoliberal Colonialism of our collective rituals

This video is about how "the personal is political" reproduces Neoliberal Subjectivity through psychology & sex. If you can't conform to the precepts of neoliberal subjectivity, there must be something psychologically unhealthy with you, some form of internalized misogyny, you probably need therapy. Just see the reception that the book "preliminary materials for a theory of a young girl" got and you will realize that neoliberalism never colonized feminism: the "Personal Is Political" was at root a biopolitical and neoliberal project, which allowed allowed "the modern Political" to invade into, secularize/desacralize (although from my Confucian understanding, nothing can ever truly become desacralized, see my ritual traces series) and transform our interpersonal relationships into endless Huxleyan dystopia black mirror social capital considerations, motivated by the endlessly insecure vicarious traumatizations of carceral feminism; turning every aspect of our life into a cost benefit analysis, and allowing for all sorts of privileges to be upheld from the backdoor; all while calling itself progressive, psychologically healthy, and even decolonial, and not allowing critique from outside it's own self sustaining ideology and polarized citational echochamber. One of the primary modes of changing our culture (other than structurally changing the internet to be "for profit" at every turn) was through the rituals of sex, where the concept of "altruistic care" has become a form of "benevolent sexism" in comparison to what Foucault has characterized as "self-care" (another primary idiom of neoliberalism); while sex that doesn't conform to neoliberal subjectivity is plagued by an existential crises of having to create it's own meaning rather than easily conforming to the idioms of neoliberal psychology. Being an "ally" does not involve mindlessly repeating hivemind idioms; you internalize what is said, and come up with an original way of responding rather than repeating the edicts of social capitalism.
