Enjoyment vs. Pleasure Explained
- Enjoyment differs fundamentally from pleasure by involving an enjoyment of absence or sacrifice.
- This makes enjoyment sustainable and unconscious, unlike pleasure which is conscious and fleeting.
Enjoyment and Non-Belonging
- All enjoyment is fundamentally tied to non-belonging, a position more aligned with left-wing politics.
- Right-wing enjoyment depends on designating who does not belong to reinforce a sense of belonging for their base.
The Paradox of Belonging
- Conservative belonging relies on the exclusion of 'others,' but this reveals that belonging depends on non-belonging.
- This dynamic shows how right-wing belonging is ultimately unstable and parasitic on non-belonging.
