“Black sheep” I took to be in the sense of, you can throw a bunch of criticism at the person you’re oppressing and make it clear they’re an outlier from humanity and make it more palatable that you’re doing that and change the subject.
“You shouldn’t be killing Gazan children on an industrial scale” “But they’re monsters, look at how terrible was Hamas’s attack on our music festival!” Things like that.
If I was the wolf, I’d just point out that the shepherd eats lamb too, and is therefore just as much a murderer. The only difference is the amount of power in the equation. The wolf doesn’t need to be bigoted to make its point, there are much better criticisms against the way the shepherd deprives the sheep of liberty. I didn’t really understand why Lincoln was describing a foolish wolf who attacks the shepherd for bad reasons instead of readily available good ones. What the wolf says is pretty nonsense to me.
Soulism is a school of anarchist thought which argues that reality, the laws of physics, and the limitations of our bodies are unjust heirarchies which must be abolished.
You know how transphobes say to trans women, “You’re a biological man, that’s a physical fact of reality and you can’t change that”? That’s the kind of reality, law of physics, and limitation of our bodies that soulism seeks to abolish. Soulism recognises that such “laws” of reality as immutable sex are myths, and seek to abolish all belief in such laws.

That Lincone guy who said it was a famous dude for being smart and shit. Could be hype eh?
“I looked at something Lincoln said, and it didn’t right away make sense to me. Clearly, then, this Lincoln guy needs to get on my level.”
So I looked it up…

I think I am done chatting with this person after mistakenly embarking in good faith. You spotted the evangelical kookiness quicker than I did.
