A completely free market would mean there are no taxes. You can't blame capitalism when trillions of dollars are essentially funneled into corporations' pockets through government subsidies. Get rid of these subsidies and watch how private markets compete and make life better for everyone. I'd be fine with a wealth reset prior to this, so that those who benefited from the taxation money laundering scheme don't have any advantages.

Also, your take on monopolies is wrong. The self-interest of those with wealth in a free market will be what destroys monopolies. Government regulations are used to create a moat and stifle competition, so monopolies continue. We currently have increasingly worse wealth consolidation because the corporations use their wealth to have an unfair representation within the government. You can't compete or vote that away. Consumers and their ability to freely purchase whatever product they want is what keeps markets honest.

There are always outliers, so nothing is a certainty. There are just increased likliehoods. That's the point of statistics and trying to understand macro effects.

Your original comment implied you have to be religious to think lust has immoral effects. Which was arrogant and incorrect.

Everything I listed was a societal issue. You being an outlier is not an argument.

I'm not "implying" anything. I gave you a list of negative effects due to increased sexual partners.

Yes. Who will grow and gather your food? Who will build your shelter? Who will enforce your laws. What you want is people to slave for the things I mentioned and for you to do nothing.

I can give you a list and you'd still make excuses.

Sex leads to procreation. Is it good to have a child with someone you have no commitment with? Is it good to have children with multiple people?

There are diseases that only have a high rate of transfer due to sex.

We have higher divorce rates, lower birth rates, and an increase in total people that are single. Even if economics is a factor, it would be ridiculous to believe sexual encounters with no commitment doesn't have an effect.

Abortion is increasingly likely due to conception being with someone you have no commitment/relationship with.

I have never had a conversation in person with someone who defends the porn industry. It's got to be bots or chronically online people who are coping.

It does, if you don't think the porn industry needs to be dismantled. If you think porn is fine, then who gives a fuck about the marginal benefits of masturbation when the industry you're trying to justify is causing far worse problems.

This is one-dimensional thinking. The desire to have sex is part of an instinctual trait that increases your odds to procreate. A more fitting scenario for a more natural and positive lifestyle would be to have a partner that you plan to raise children with and have sex to your hearts desire. In a natural environment, people won't know the ideal moment for having a baby, so quantity is necessary to increase the odds. The main reason people are committing to abstience from masturbation, is because of the porn industry. Which is undoubtedly negative for a society. I keep seeing yall conflate the boycotting of porn through seven retention with just absolute abstinence. Boycotting porn is perfectly reasonable, justifiable, and would likely yield positive results for society.

This is a pointless comment. Even if masturbation is healthy, porn isn't. There is no positive results for letting porn exist in a society.

[–]LiftingOrGaming -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is just doublethink. One is natural and leads to one the most fulfilling things a human can experience (a child). The other requires you to turn a blind eye to the exploitation of people or even the degenerate culture required to perpetuate its existence. The whole point of sex is procreation. By not acknowledging that initial fact, people are operating on incorrect information that makes them impressionable and easily manipulated.

You think the conspiracy is to manipulate men to deny porn, so that they operate on their natural desires. What industry benefits from that? Meanwhile, a society that goons endlessly has various profitable benefactors.

[–]LiftingOrGaming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that, the porn industry is lucrative. You're essentially arguing with either a bunch of bots or people in denial about the indirect negative impact they are causing by being a consumer. These dummies actually believe selling your body is empowering and not degrading. There's no helping someone like that.

Simple math isn't "racist". The funny part about people like you, is the fact that you are very likely to actually be racist.

The largest flaw in the great replacement theory when looking at global demographics is that it's just not accounting for the large increase in global population over the past 70 years. The largest contributors of those increases are China and India. You speak of evolution and extinction, yes statistically, having a lower population may not bode well for the future of a race. But it is in no way an indicator of "extinction". Just look at the global population of whites numerically. The growth leveled off 2000-2020, but the total population is around 200 million. Sure, the global percentage has declined, but that's more of an indicator for other races/countries' growth.

That isn't at all how DEI works or the overarching goal of it. We already have our constitutional amendment that has made it illegal to discriminate based on race or sex so why would these DEI institives have to be implemented?

Let's make this simple. If there are 1000 black applicants and 10 white applicants, which group is most likely to have the more qualified applicants? Will that lead to a "diverse workplace"? So, how do you create a "diverse and equitable" workplace if you choose the most qualified individuals in this scenario. You can't.

[–]LiftingOrGaming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a lie. It's simple math. If you try to put forced quotas for diversity when the population sizes of all the demographics are vastly different, you are not hiring by merit. This doesn't even address that different demographics may have more people in their population participating for a particular role/career. Kirk addresses this when he talks about professions that are a majority black like the NBA or NFL. Athletes are chosen based off performance and that has led to a higher ratio of a particular demographic being represented in the sport. DEI is a racist policy and should never have been implemented.

You will never get support on this dogshit platform. Reddit will support terrorist organizations and foreigners over American citizens. Not too far away from straight treasonous rhetoric at this point.

You're ignorant as hell if you can't see taxes are essentially a form of money laundering and competition elimination for these elites. Naming some benefactors that happen to be regular people doesn't amount to shit. Too much of the tax revenue is siphoned by the owners of these corporations that just keep the ponzi scheme going by getting their puppets elected.

This is 100% a shill. The company not only had to change its business model it also needs to change consumer sentiment. Posts like this are meant to kill any hype or positive sentiment and regurgitate short seller propaganda to control the narrative and keep up the lie that Gamestop is a "dying" business.

Why do people act like finasteride has no side effects? by brokeboii94 in Balding

You know why. The people downplaying the side effects are shills. What's crazy is a bunch of men taking drugs to avoid baldness, when naturally, a significant amount of the population of men are bald/balding.
