Judith Butler Is Wrong About Everything
Judith Pamela Butler, that’s her name, represents everything that is wrong with the world. In any minimally enlightened era, her subjectivist quackery would have died in academic ostracism, the extravagance of the departmental loony in some remote and decadent university. Nothing in queer theory holds up, neither scientifically, nor psychologically, nor sociologically, no matter how much effort the philosopher has put into covering her back, integrating into her theory, as a foundational axis, the need to eradicate dissidence. In other words, in addition to being wrong about everything, she promotes ideological tyranny to prevent us from telling her that she is wrong about everything.
The left has bought all of Butler’s broken-down merchandise, thinking it would be wonderful to be able to apply unscientific relativism not only to gender, but to any other realm of political contention. The balloon expanded fast (and the Left’s totalitarian roller effectively succeeded in neutralizing dissent through the tyrannical exaltation of cancellation), but just a tiny pin of reality is enough to burst it. And it is starting to happen.
Progressive theorists, power to boomers, do not understand how it is possible that in so few years the young vote in the West is radically shifting from the left to the right. They rebel against the consequences without looking into the causes. However, it is all their fault: they believed that they could live infinitely in their bubble of fiction, from the policy of the great migration replacement or the alliance of civilizations to the immense tangle of waste that the queer binge of imposter Butler is causing all over the world. They believed, in short, that none of their own would ever ask the big question: if anything can be a woman, what is it to be a woman? In effect, nothing. To hell with decades of feminist cant about visibility and the like.
But we cannot stress enough that ideas have consequences. Butler’s flapping about in a sad university chair and a couple of geeky departments causes governments to spend huge amounts of public money to promote those ideas and, worse, to implement them to solve everyday problems.
I am saying all this because I have written today for a Spanish newspaper about the concrete measures in which the gender thesis of imposter Butler is translated in my country (and in fact, in any other). A truly feminist association that fights against the erasure of women has drawn up a “map of the misappropriation” of the central government’s budget allocations for the fight against “gender violence.” The map, which includes town initiatives funded for this purpose, includes everything from marathons for women to chocolate tasting, drag queen shows, installation of rainbow-colored public furniture, feminist storytelling in schools, or laughter therapy workshops, which I imagine is exactly the kind of activity that a real victim of domestic abuse is just dying to do.
A priori it may seem difficult to find a connection between Butler’s books and laughter therapy workshops in a remote village in Mediterranean Europe, or the dance of a drag queen in a well-known town hall in my country. But the connection is total: the entire “plan against gender violence” approved by the government is based on Butler’s inane queer theories, and the actual implementation of an imaginary theory based on nonexistent assumptions and false precepts can only end up like this, with an equally useless amalgam of gender waste that besides being a robbery of the taxpayer makes a mockery of abused women; although we must also admit that no one mistreats women more than the queer apostles, who advocate the very nonexistence of women.
With inflation running rampant, in a country that leads youth unemployment in Europe, and where it is now completely impossible to buy your own apartment (unless you squat, for which the squatter, not the owner, receives state protection), with the whole of Europe overrun by idle illegal immigrants who pose a direct threat to the safety of women, all a socialist ruler can think of is to set about eradicating “gender violence” by holding a women’s run, a pelvic floor workshop, and painting rainbows on benches. And they still wonder why young people are fleeing from the postmodern left like it was the devil himself.
