Intersectionality: Normalized Megalothymia... NOT Isothymia

Intersectionlaity: Locking in my Academically Ranked Moral/ Social Superiority

from Google AI:

Isothymia is a political and philosophical concept defined as the human desire to be recognized as an equal to other people. [1, 2]

Key Details

Origin of the Term: The word combines the Greek prefix iso- (meaning "equal") and thymos (meaning "spiritedness," "soul," or the "desire for recognition"). [1]
Francis Fukuyama: The political scientist Francis Fukuyama popularized the term in his book The End of History and the Last Man and later in Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment. He used it to describe the democratic demand that everyone's inherent dignity be acknowledged on the same level. [1, 2]
Contrast with Megalothymia: Isothymia is distinct from megalothymia, which is the desire to be recognized as superior to others (often driving ambition, tyranny, or historic conquest). Fukuyama argued that liberal democracies attempt to satisfy isothymia for all citizens equally. [1, 2, 3]
Musical Reference: "Isothymia" is also a metal track released in 2021 by the artist Natura on the album Thymos.

Neo-Racist Blue-Lining: How the Left Coerced Banks into Discriminating Against Conservatives

Why would America's biggest banks let the Southern Poverty Law Center decide who gets a bank account? Because the @splcenter made a business out of leveraging the accusation that white, religious conservative were racists. This puts the bank at a crossroads: risk the racist charge or dissociate from these racists. The SPLC began this witch hunt of sorts by putting mainstream Christian groups on the "hate map" along with KKK groups. And the banks never checked to see if these groups were truly racist or not. Seeing them on the "hate map" was enough. As the federal review revealed, "mere allegations" were enough, "even in the absence of any validation of the underlying facts." An employee from PNC said, "I think it becomes really difficult to justify aligning ourselves with a company whose owners have built very public personas around opinions very contrary to PNC's beliefs/values." That's not risk management. That's the white guilt terror of being called a racist, a bigot, a hater, written into bank policy.
