Yep. Foucalt nailed that one, absolutely dead to rights.
I graduated in the last class before my old school got torn down. Went on a tour of the new building while it was under construction and even the normies on the tour could tell that the place looked like a prison, complete with panopticon pods connected to the main building by long spokes with actual guard bunkers at the base of each spoke.
The prior building was a completely open plan of many disconnected buildings with tons of windows and green spaces.
When the normies know that something fucked is happening you know it’s gotten real bad.
So I don’t doxx myself too hard, I’ll just say that not even rich kid schools were spared. I wasn’t myself a rich kid but I squeaked in because of district margins. The bully/jock assholes of that school really enjoyed the SV potential and having their pick of the litter of victims to body shame and even physically attack.
I feel you. I had communal showers a couple of years and I don’t remember any specific violence, but I do remember it being uncomfortable.
I would like to look in to how communal bathing ties in to America’s nudity taboo and how it’s changed over the years. The idea is completely unthinkable now, but communal bathing has been pretty normal across cultural and across history, even non-sexual unisex communal bathing in a few places. And then in America it’s illegal to teach sex ed or show a nipple on tv.
In a less fucked up synthesis of puritan and hedonistic ideologies which are systemic to contemporary capitalism, I can see value in communal showers and the like.
However, when it’s a bunch of demanding that teenagers get naked and put up with whatever proto-fratboy rite of passage hazing shit that awaits them there, that absolutely reeks of predator culture.
Agreed. I don’t remember any time where high school showers were presented as something social, communal, soothing. Everyone knew they were embarassing and a place where bullying was particularly vicious.
Meanwhile, when I was really little my father took me to a workout club that was mostly old guys, and they’d all kind of hang out butt ass naked in the locker room, talking about whatever, completely comfortable and unbothered. It was nominally the same - communal bathing, but the absolute opposite vibe.
I’m not even sure how to get Burgerland into the latter culture instead of the former, though I know in the present that coercing teenagers into hazing rites ostensibly leading into adulthood is just a contagious form of abuse.
