      If Freud were alive today (hate him or not, he's a useful character in the story I'm about to tell), he would postulate a "signaling drive" (irresistible urge to signal to ingroup), which he would consider to be closely related to "death drive."

      Hm? I feel Freud would see claims like "why can't we hate men?" as a manifestation of ego-id conflict regarding the Electra complex: to deny they love men is to refuse to identify as a competitor for their fathers' affection, conflicting with their id's desire to possess him.

      I don't see how the two interpretations are incompatible though.

      They aren't; a refusal to identify as a competitor (and instead to identify with the mother/"women") is equivalent to a "signaling drive", but it also suggests a psychosexual causal mechanism in addition to describing the behavior. I figure Freud wouldn't invent a new word.

      Freud loved inventing drives though (e.g. his death drive is pure invention).

      One thing I notice is that all ideologies seem to have some kind of psychosexual underpinning. marxism -- promise of free love after dissolution of families into communes feminism -- leveling of sexual competition monarchism -- tradwives? libertinism?

      You know how they say "sex sells"? They weren't talking about consumer goods.

      Less pithily: Eric Hoffman's "The True Believer" claims that "the frustrated" are the ones who ultimately take up radical ideologies. What sort of "frustration" might he have meant?

          I'm not gonna lie reading that was the first time in months I've felt the sensation of like, I dunno if there's a word for it but it's a combination of disgust and pity with a thin coating of angry-cause-he-gives-men-a-bad-name on top

          I wonder if its a fixed personality trait tbh one go-to "what would make this more interesting" thing I think about is "what if this were just genetically determined" like, this is probably a viable strategy, wouldnt surprise me if evolutionarily stable fraction were >> 0

          society mostly makes sense (I think?) as a novel framework where lots of people with bundles of traits, some of which are fixed and some of which are quite flexible, struggle with the fixed ones where they don't fit (or prosper when they fit v well)
