The PMC lib obsession with power differentials in relationships is a reflection of their deep and incurable sickness: they see other people only as instruments of use, and assume everyone else also treats other people the same way. They actually cannot imagine relationships based purely on love, affection, and shared interests because all they can envision for any relationship is a Hobbesian all-against-all competition for scarce resources.

That’s why when they write about their own relationships, they seem utterly deranged and almost psychopathic because they assume all social dynamics are defined only by power relations and on the basis of power that they should be regulated. That’s because for them, this is their relationships! They are projecting their own pathology to all the rest of us.

It’s a disturbed and disturbing worldview, and fundamentally anti-human. But it’s all they can see.
