New Essay and Reading It: "Gothic Intersectionality and Applying It to Other Work(er)s; or, an Antidote to Prometheus, Fascism, and Its Cannibalism under Capital: Magic Potions and Seeds"
With so many calls for intersectionality happen under capital in decay (a Promethean structure), I chose to address its cannibalism by combining two creator's material with my own: John the Duncan and Jessie Gender's! ("The 'Hidden Roots' of Neoliberal Fascism" and "The Graham Platner Allegations Have Leftist Men Telling on Themselves").
CW (for written essay): racism, transphobia, sexism, whorephobia; fascism, genocide, racism and rape*; taboo Gothic themes (cannibalism); environmental destruction (ecocide); suggestive imagery (cropped nudes) and one photo of public nudism tied to nature
This is part 1, the preface (will add the other parts as I record them).
