Mike channeling some Huey Long there. The funny thing is that Long's proposed program to do what Duncan's describing was being thrown out by the most left-wing capitalists out there in order to stave off a socialist revolution in the 30s

meh, i just don't pretend my pursuits and enthusiasms make me a more interesting person than anyone else you know? i think if people like t-man realised they are as essentially boring as everybody else they would probably not act out online as much

I feel like I probably shouldn't be getting into this argument with you, but you know it's really weird to call someone's romantic relationship a "hobby" or "enthusiasm", right?

frankly i find it bizarre that you would describe me as a passable rocket league player when you don't know what my stats are or what my average match rating is. kind of an offensive reach in fact.

im pretty sure monogamy is one of those things that actually is pretty normal for humans to do. theres cultures that didnt but they were the minority, or generally only practiced by the ruling class of that culture which makes it bougioise/aristocratic excess and therefore bad.

anyway like all sex stuff it's fine up until you start telling strangers about it unprompted in which case its very bad

Our species is categorized as "gregarious monogamists" or somesuch. Basically we prefer a single partner, but gently caress around on the side to an insane degree.

IMO monogamy basically makes sense in competitive situations, it minimizes the number of people you have to trust to survive, and human history has been pretty competitive. Those rich minorities that have done polygamy were elevated enough to be able to escape a lot of the competitive pressure, though of course a lot of those relationships were also exploitative, just as you'd expect with the basis of their class position being exploitation. But it still may suggest that a socialist society, with generally less existential threats and more social trust, will naturally end up more poly.

what roadblock in your brain stops you from just saying "huh wouldnt work for me but godspeed" instead of jumping to "hmm actually this is secretly a rich thing only. there's no poor people who would do this"
