    I’m a white guy from a predominantly Christian country. Never heard of this shit. An advent calendar with chocolate in it sure (they’re like a 30 day calander with a tiny cardboard door for each day and a chocolate behind each door), sure. Advent candles??

    Never heard of them.

    Why make their world more difficult by trying to argue that “This hasn’t happened” to others though? Like why are you trying to use the non-reporting status of your two little sisters in this comment right now?

    I hope it hasn’t happened to them. But there are literally multiple users above (and a comic) saying it does happen… You’re choosing to be like:

    *“I have two little sisters. This hasn’t happened.

    As if we’re all gonna go “oh this is the REAL proof!” It’s like, hey I’m glad, but why try to deny that it doesn’t happen? How does that particular comment aid anyone?

    Imagine if there was a thread asking for help, because OP just got a dog… And you’re like “My auntie and uncle don’t have a dog”

    Like so?? Fuckin - don’t comment then. Like, hey good - but totally irrelevant to the topic.

    “Oh my mother, sister, auntie, female friend, and workmates have never brought this up to me. It hasn’t happened.”

    Whoopty doo mother fucker? Oh the topic is computers?

    “My pet rabbit doesn’t have a computer. Computers don’t exist for him.”

    Who the fuck cares? Did you think we were saying it’s an absolute? Or that we’re looking to interview 4 billion plus women on earth and tick off the has happened to, vs hasn’t happened to (according to you). Did you think that’s what we were doing?

    What the fuck was the point of your comment? To deny sexism for others in the hopes your two little sisters have a harder time with it (or being believed) later in life?

    Get on the right team dickhead. Take the L. Take all the downvotes you’re gonna get and shut the fuck up.






  • Oh, I thought you were just using it generically rather than as a technical term. Actually I also didn’t know it had a follower aspect to it.

    I do like how Adorno tested for it by way of inference, giving people tests on how they would raise a child to reveal their preferences for fascist rules. Very clever.

    I think there’s a part in “Minima moralia: Reflections on a damaged life” where he discusses his school bullies, and their obsession with navy tattoos which suggests a certain Authoritarian personality was sweeping Germany at the time. I guess that’s like Trump supporters today when they go all Karen, or how there’s a rise in rightwing views in young men.

    I think the authoritarian personalities usually make the demands themselves, and do the twisting and manipulation of “getting things done”.

    But I get who you mean… The easily molded “patriots” who obey and do whatevers asked of them. The ones who go along fully and enthusiastically with the narrative authorities give them… Because they too want to see and conduct the violence.
