If you take a person such as me or you and remove their internality, what you end up with is a map of the social forces and pressures surrounding them, the way they are being molded by their surroundings, essentially what they are being predicted to do next.
As D&G say, the body without organs is an egg, crisscrossed with axes and thresholds. Similarly, what these social forces do is "contain" an underlying developing person, one whose internality and desires are scrambled (being produced by impersonal and often incoherent surrounding forces) but have the capacity to grow into a full person after adding in the various divergences and eccentricities of the contained individual's body.
There exists a process in which the full person breaks down, destroys more desires than it produces, and the end result is that it moves closer to being in this egg state. This can be read as a gradual erosion, the pressure on the outside being higher than the pressure inside, or the person succumbing to entropy. Alternatively (or perhaps more as a resignation to insurmountable forces), it can be a conscious desire for regression. The reason for this is that the egg state embodies an infinite set of possibilities (it cannot truly be *anything*, but it's infinitely variable among incomprehensibly many axes), so the idea is that if a person's current internality isn't working for one reason or another, then they have this inbuilt fail-safe that allows them to try something else. Of course, re-instantiation is costly at every step, and so it must be done only rarely, lest the person have too little energy and too few memories to live.
Anyway, the reason the liberal model of oppression is so dogshit at actually getting anything done is because it can conceive of oppressed people only in terms of bodies without organs, rather than as real people. This leaves them with a framework that's genuinely unusable for anything besides posting dumb shit on social media. When confronted with the tranny, the liberal resorts to hapless babbling and apologetics, to which the tranny can offer only a sad smile: she was an egg once, but not anymore.
It's important to note that books can be much better at feeding internality than social media, which is more about social forces. Many books are very focused on establishing people as contradictory figures with complex but internally coherent inner worlds, each positing an answer for what it can be like to live. Everyone sucks at writing though (which is fair, it's difficult).
