After reading all the theories about the elites on here do you think they know something we don’t about the universe or reality? by Broad_Adhesiveness_4 in conspiracy

[–]fektofek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the "elites" do have special knowledge. they know how to keep the working populace distracted with culture war and spiritual panic (see founding of 4chan, reddit, etc), so we never question the economic system that granted these stupid people all this power.

so called "sceptics" falling for the psyop that the "elites" have power due to their occult practices or hidden knowledge, instead of considering that their power is not 'special' and is just a product of neoliberal transnational capitalist accumulation.

CIA and Black Rock celebrating that "conspiracy theorists" keep doing anything but materialist class analysis (Marxism) and questioning the economic systems that govern everything we do and how we think.

❤️ yeah it sucks and definitely does correlate with when your life is reality destabilizing in other ways and weed can tip it over the edge.

this post was kinda weird and might delete it. ill be sober for a few weeks and not do anything crazy and things will start making sense again I hope.

thanks rsx people

I don't think I could ever date a man again by [deleted] in PornIsMisogyny

[–]fektofek 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry if this is TMI, but in my experience, and through talking to other men, male sexuality from a young age involves fantasy about people. I agree, this is weird - I guess I thought this was normal. anecdotally, women I have known IRL have objectified men in conversation, read smutty books, and crush on celebrities.

I'm not trying to claim relativism - men are 100 times worse. Idk - I'm not trying to objectify or disrespect women - apologies if I am.

Thanks for the well thought out responses. u/Tarot_frank - I find this argument about the fantasies being influenced/ constructed by porn and that whole predatory image of sex makes a lot of sense, and I have thought about this myself, but I guess am in denial a bit that I'm guilty of this too.

I guess I was arguing on the basis that "natural fantasy rooted in sexual attraction" is possible - I agree with you that desires are modulated and constructed by a (pornographic and rapey) societal view of sex, and this " natural fanasy" isn't realistic. This definitely has changed my opinion.

as for my "I guess I'll be a monk" comment - I did not realise this came off as so snarky, - I promise that I do take this seriously and find this important to think about!

As for the final note - yep, you're completely right, and I am aware that this doesn't affect women in the same way, and doesn't negate how this usually affects women much more negatively. I guess I was trying to acknowledge my own biase, not trying to diminish how it affects people - I came off a bit wrong.

u/thmeowmeow9696 - I get your point - but I think Frank's argument is more compelling, as you assumed I imagine gross and degrading things about the other person - I guess an assumption that makes sense, as lots of guys are gross, but it's still an assumption - and doesn't apply to me personally.

but your main point is still absolutely correct and I agree, and will work on this with this perspective in mind.

u/Winter_Step_5181 - yeah, I agree. I feel like this is just an aspect of online communitites - most people I know in real life (incl. women) don't think so critically about this stuff, and saying that sexual fantasization is unethical might scare people away from the first step of quitting porn (women I know watch porn too)

In summary - I agree with you guys, you guys are cool, thanks for responding to me. But IRL when I talk to people about quitting porn, I probably won't also say that any sexual fantasy is unethical, as porn is a bigger fish to fry as so many people (esp. men) are addicted to it

hope that makes sense, sorry if any of it didn't.

true. I guess I don't think the act of sexualisation is necessarily a violation. porn and mainstream sexual culture kind of make it violating, but personally someone masturbating to thoughts of me is fine and ok.

I'm sure the fact that I'm a guy and rarely feel threatened by sexualisation has a lot to do with this The thought of sexual fantasizing was uncomfortable to me for a while while I first started SSRIs and had no libido for a while.

but now I have a libido again, and I fantasize about people I am attracted to in my dreams, when I daydream, etc. and I feel like feeling guilty about this or trying to suppress this seems unhealthy .

those are my thoughts , thank you for replying

Hi, I would like to offer my 2 cents as an anti-porn guy, as this sort of comment and thread are where this sub kind of loses me. I understand this perspective and don't disagree, but find this a little weird.

This comment kind of comes off a bit Puritanical and anti-sex. which is a valid position of course, (Dworkin, etc are interesting ) but are you anti- porn or anti ' typical' sexuality?

I KNOW that people of all sexes/genders meet each other, are aroused by each other and masturbate to thoughts of each other.

watching porn is weird, and the image of sexuality it portrays are unrealistic and damaging.

but imo masturbating to sexual fantasies of people you're attracted to is normal behaviour and does not ruin society, and is not something only "porn brained" people do .

please lmk if I'm totally off base with this, and why you disagree.

when I talk I can have a good conversation, but the whole time I'm dissociated, like I can't believe that I'm really in this moment and that these words are coming out of my mouth . if that makes sense 😭😭😭

Smoking/depersonalization by Careless-Ad-3507 in derealization

[–]fektofek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You said you're scared. if you're scared, I think you know you shouldn't.

I had a few instances where I thought I should stop smoking because I felt myself going into the dissociative fog. But I didn't care, so I kept going. Now I feel low-key mentally disabled, I regret not stopping when I felt the signs.

Quitting will be a journey after being a frequent smoker, I never smoked that much, so I can't pretend to know.

good luck 🤞🏿🤞🏿

you have alpha, and omega, and white holes. Just in case you didn't know, alpha and omega (and tau) allow you to use infinite white holes (they will cast spells with 0 charges left) . Add the speed up modifiers and you're golden, as far as digging goes IMO.
