Why We Love Our Own Oppression? The Dark Psychology of Power
The Psychic Life of Power: Theories in Subjection
In 'The Psychic Life of Power: Theories in Subjection', Judith Butler reveals a shocking truth: we are not just victims of power, we are emotionally attached to our own submission. This video breaks down how power doesn't just dominate us from outside—it gets inside our heads, creating guilt, conscience, and even our gender identity. You'll learn why we cling to oppressive social norms, how our deepest desires are shaped by control, and the unsettling way we become complicit in our own subjection. Butler shows that agency isn't about escaping power, but reworking it from within. A mind-blowing journey into why we obey, and how we can resist.
