Hello friends!
Sorry I was dark last week - I’ve been working on my new YouTube channel (Coco_Has_Ideas) where I’m translating the ideas I discuss here into longform video chats. I’m super stoked about it!!
I’m cooking up a new article - the promised second part to my last post - that will be published in a day or so. Very excited - it’s a bit more abstract, but I hope you enjoy it!
In the meantime, I have new longform chats on YT that I wanted to share with you all. Below is my most recent - I’m breaking down how patriarchy is the blueprint for all supremacy hierarchies.
Please consider subscribing my YouTube channel - I’m hoping to build out that audience towards ad monetization so I can keep this content accessible without a paywall - I truly appreciate your support and everyone who has financially subscribed here - your support allows me to continue!
We chat about how patriarchy is the culture of male narcissism and the system of male private for profit ownership of women as the original means of production - both literally in terms of creating life, but also as the sole social infrastructure and uncompensated laborer of life.
We’re discussing how patriarchy expects women to be solely responsible for all labor, knowledge, and care work related to meeting basic needs, raising children, caring for the elderly, creating meaningful social networks for the household, and doing all work related to cultural traditions. Women are expected to perform all labor related to creating a life worth living for the man to consume without participation or compensation.
As a result, all of our social systems are patriarchal - our political and economic systems are all patriarchal. Meaning, none of our social systems are designed with the mandates to meet human needs or facilitate creating a life worth living (man does not live by bread alone, right?).
Every facet of society was designed for male participation and consumption exclusively, assuming that every male privately owned a woman as his means of production to meet human needs. Society doesn’t need to consider how to meet human needs so long as every male is entitled to own at least one women to do that work for him to consume privately.
This is the root of so much social and political dysfunction. This narcissistic dynamic that some supposedly innately superior class of people (men in patriarchy - white people in white supremacy - major capital holders in capitalism, etc.) are entitled by BIRTHRIGHT to exploit the supposedly innately inferior classes of people is the foundational conflict. Much like persons with narcissistic personality disorder, these supremist worldviews feel no responsibility of stewardship or investment into the systems and people they exploit and extract from.
They can’t even mitigate their worst impulses well enough to ensure the continuation of the systems that benefit them - because the only goal of supremacy is to continuously expand its scope of consumption and dominance. There are no higher goals or objectives.
We discuss these ideas and more in that linked chat - I hope you’ll take a look and let me know your thoughts! I appreciate your support so very, very much - please like and subscribe to my new YT channel if you like my content - it really helps me as I continue to build this creation career <3
Thanks for liking and subscribing! I’m so grateful to have these conversations with you all - facilitating powerful conversations is my dream and your participation is what makes it all possible. THANK YOU!!!
I love you sweet baby angels - can’t wait to talk again soon <3 xoxo, Coco + Maude
