i don't say that in real life I just nod and sip my beer and when I go for a cigarette I stare off into space and wonder if I'm even alive or if I fell into a portal to some kind of world of sex weirdos

if you make over 80k a year though? suddenly it's a Life Style Choice and the future and basically I'm a one man warrior against patriarchy, loving and sucking anyone I want, getting my girlfriend to babysit the kids from my old marriage sometimes, and it's Woke Actually

basically anything well-off people with comfortable careers do has to have its own unique identity and constantly be talked about as a personality quirk

we only ever hear about the bad polys like epstein and the clintons which makes it seem more dangerous and sinister than it really is instead of something very mundane that has been around since forever

smacks of bougioise excess tbh. i have limited time in my life and devoting it to my three separate 30 something poly girlfriends who are also queer somehow is not really my idea of a 'proletarian' action

And with that we're back to the old Soviet rationale for banning homosexuality

i'm saying this is why people have such a anti-poly tendency because of awful media narratives, we should work to debunk these myths by showing how historically polyamory is a pretty vanilla concept and poly people aren't weird and exotic creatures they're just people like you and i

I think a lot of polycules are just people realizing that finding romantic partners is hard, finding roommates is hard, so why not kill two birds with one stone?

And in a world where capitalism crushes all sense of community and drives alienation into everyone’s soul forming a communal bond over everyone loving is a pretty reasonable reaction.

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

it's because millennials all started getting old enough to have kids, which kinda puts a damper on random sex for most responsible parents

The new Symptomatic Redness is really good. Derick gets into why American Christianity is in a bad place right now, then takes the discussion into weird places like how Mormons are probably the most Christian religion right now, and why the DSA is totally irrelevant at the national level despite being closely associated with high-profile politicians.
