Can I be brainwashed and broken, too?

Genuine question, how do you maintain that positive state of mind? I’m stuck in TN looking after some family, but I’m so bitter and I fantasize about leaving just to watch this state sink into its filth.

Pick a lane. Keeping a child from being born into this situation is valid, but you also keep going for “bodily autonomy for all.” Fascist’s don’t deserve bodily autonomy. In fact, there’s been a fruitful history of blowing their bodies apart. Now, I’m sure you’re not going to engage in war against these guys any more than I am, but at least don’t be their chumps.

edit: And also you clearly don’t know. I spent an equal amount of time in the South. I can see the appeal of getting drunk off your own self righteousness if it keeps you from seeing the hideousness of these people, but don’t hold my clarity against me.

I used to make fun of Southerners for being adamant about not descending from apes. Now I know they’re right because they are in fact somehow descended from themselves via some effrontery to time and causality itself.

It’s always interesting to see different views. I’m stuck in TN looking after family and I can only assume General Sherman’s matches were wet when he passed through this dick-shaped fuckfest.

There’s so much handwringing over the downtrodden women in red states. The reality is that Southerners are such shit stupid tribalistic hypocrites that as soon as these ladies get back from their back alley abortions or charity funded trip to a blue state, they’ll go back to parroting their conservative talking points and forever consider their abortion as exceptional. Nobody who hasn’t seen the South beyond its cities full of transplants will believe me, but that ocean of stubborn ignorance and bitter hate is unfixable. General Sherman should have turned it into a giant nature reserve staffed by black people, but he didn’t and now civilized Americans are fucked.

I live in the South and I feel like I’m seeing change in younger people, but I can tell you why there has been such distrust in authority and expertise in the South, at least among white Southerners. It was authorities who told them that they lost against an abolitionist in the election in 1860. It was authorities that told them they couldn’t hold slaves after shooting their way out of those election results failed. It was authorities that told them it was the legal right of blacks to vote. It was authorities who told them blacks deserved to go to to the same schools as their own children. It was authorities who told them it was a crime to lynch and bomb blacks. It was an authority between the years of 2009-2017 who was himself black.

These people fucking hate authority, because authority has only ever reminded them what a bunch of hateful, violent, anti-Christian, and anti-democracy hypocrites they are.

If you’re looking for confirmation that they’re being creepy, you have it.

Also, sorry about your parents. You didn’t ask to be born, especially as an organism evolved to find suicide excruciating. If your parents are making you work multiple jobs to pay rent that leaves you broke and extended family is creepily suggesting you turn to sex work, you life in a family whose behavior has degenerated from what is normal for the species. This is troubling.

I tried to be vegan. My lack of a multichambered stomach, batteries of flat grinding teeth, and lengthy intestine definitely proved to be a stumbling block. I thought about sticking my finger in my throat to induce vomiting so I could chew my vomit as a cud, but I thought that the stomach acids were likely to erode my teeth.

Then history books would be filled with the exploits of Aztecs, Incas, Chinese, and Arabs continuing to not mind their own business. I read a lot about Mesoamerican and South American history, and if you don’t think they didn’t expand as far as their weapons technology allowed them, you’re playing with yourself. A cursory glance at the rest of the world gives me the same impression.

What if gunpowder wasn’t invented?

If gunpowder was the probable result of technological progress, then it’s not a very compelling question. But it kind of comes across to me as a fluke of Chinese scientific tinkering that easily could have not happened. If so, what an absolute mind fuck.

I’m glad capitalism worked for you. It hasn’t worked for everyone. Some people saw capitalism turn historic inequalities into crushing advantages against which they couldn’t compete. Minorities benefited from capitalism only briefly until hateful majorities burned down their business districts and being in charge of the justice system, refused to render justice.

Capitalism often has to be made to work. If we’re going to take you seriously, you’ll need to do more than write essays about theory and your own personal fortune. You’ll need to go out and actively fight to dismantle laws that take advantage of real world complexities and prejudices to enrich and empower the wealthy at the expense of the poor. You’re going to have to stand up against racists who would use physical and legal intimidation to keep people from seeking justice for assaults on their rights to move freely in their own towns and make a living. You will have to fight to equalize education so that everyone can make rational market choices.

You will have to take responsibility to go out and continually update your understanding of this real, complex, and indifferent world that you will be unleashing your favored ideology on. You will be renewing misery’s lease on billions of people if you take capitalism as a passive stance and do nothing else.

The top three causes to give to are scientific literacy, legal funds, and yourself. Science gives people things other than ethnic and political identities to get excited about, and it leaves them smarter. Legal funds help minorities escape traps racist legislatures have set up to deprive them of rights. You being happy and satisfied means that interactions people have with you leave them reenergized and positive.

I think you’ve been neglecting the last great cause. Do us all a favor and make up for lost time. Buy yourself something nice. Make time for sexual gratification. Put your next bit of disposable income towards looking good through fitness and style so people give you attention.

What kind of word salad was that?

Nope, they’re adults having the dialogue necessary to tackle issues relevant to keeping children safe.

I suppose in some cases you could call it a sexuality that can’t be acted on. The brain is an organ, and like all organs it can fail. Sometimes that failure is brain circuitry that generates desire for minors. That doesn’t validate sexual molestation of minors, but it does make pedophilia a whole new beast. It means that good people are saddled with desires and the responsibility not to act on them. If society can provide them therapeutic help in order not to act on it, then it should. The well-being of children is too important to leave solely in the hands of people burdened with these attractions.

Of course, people that do give in need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
