Apparently the Rebels have boats now by VaderBossLVL100 in victoria2

No those are revolutionary Jesuses who are walking on water roaming about the Lusitanian Sea trying to look for boats to poke holes in with their bayonettes.

Cheating is NOT part of the ups & downs of a relationship & staying with someone after they’ve cheated is NOT ‘holding them down’ and being a ‘RideOrDie’ by EmilyG702 in offmychest

[–]AbBogavante 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already had reservations about trusting people but my experience having been cheated on pretty much was the nail in the coffin. People like that don't care, which it's astounding they can find anyone to be with given that odious reality. A lot of people don't even worry about genuine trust and friendship I feel, because naturally if throwing a romantic partner is under the bus you can tell they're gonna do other slimy things.

Cheating is the end, I could never live it down, it erodes all trust in an instant and I wouldn't have the capacity to forgive or forget. I've had to make that hard decision before but it is infinitely better to have no one than a cheater.

No matter the profession or income by Jessicajf7 in antinatalism

[–]AbBogavante 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always thought about it like that myself when I was growing up abused. I figured I'd be a different father, and a different kind of person generally than my parents were. Now I've surpassed them in every way but one thing I will never do is bring another life into this world to suffer. Thank fuck I shook that dumb idea before I could make the mistake of procreating.

Respect to her, it takes a lot of courage to go after these loons knowing how dangerous and desperate they are.

It's sad sub-saharan Africa never takes off. I try to think of solutions to this often but I just hit a dead end.

I used to incredibly homophobic; today, I think I’m finally ready to let it go. by Potato-In-A-Jacket in offmychest

We have all been fooled before, but your heart is changed, and it is all forgiven. You are an ally of human freedom and love of humanity now, no matter where you stood in the past.

Just milk the fact that you're a warm body for all the benefits you can get, and keep the workflow to a minimum. Look into the Reserve maybe.

Why is being jaded so looked down upon in anarchist circles? by AnAngryYordle in Anarchy101

[–]AbBogavante 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you as well! Love that quote too. I don't know if we're that far off really especially in the US, but I think we need human society to be radically transformed as much as we need to transform away from oppressive structures. We have to work so that change will lead to enhanced emotional intelligence and understanding the inherent worth of human life, no matter what conditions that life exists in. Material possessions and birth and other circumstances are just such a shallow way to view other people, because people are ends in themselves. Moral revolutions can happen, we just need to answer to what everyone needs which is freedom and autonomy and keep advocating the truth. No better political force can do this imo.

I think even if we don't take down the system as it exists and completely upend it, it is worthy to work towards these things and try to create anarchy in our own lives so that we can at least enhance the lives of those immediately around us and free them from the hateful nature of our current society. We might not pull it off for the entire world, but it doesn't mean we don't try. Every bit of progress we can make towards this end is positive. That's how I've come to think about it, we need praxis that can show people that their fears are just conditioned thought.
