Listen I'm a tall and mildly attractive gay man, places of debauchery are not beyond my reach. But at least gay sex clubs have the decency to be devoid of the pretense of leftism.

The whole thing reeks of moneyed and self absorbed people aping fashionable politics in which they have no real material stake. It's gross

I didn’t really understand the objection here but I guess this makes sense.

The "no ethical consumption under capitalism" meme has given carte blanche to rich people who know one or two Marxist phrases to do whatever they want with no repercussions. Which they already had because of the "being rich" thing, but now they don't have to feel guilty.

I don’t really think this is very good, it’s not smart or good to echo the sentiment that led to repression of LGBT people on the left because some assholes are assholes about their privilege.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong in principle with drugs or sex parties if that’s your jam, what’s not right is that only rich white failsons/daughters can do it without being sent to jail regardless of what political iconography they’ve decided to cosplay.

my problem was specifically that its rich people doing it, and more generally that it's also something only rich people can do anyway

it should be the duty of first world workers to dismantle capitalism at home so that the third world workers can do the same. like so long as the empire exists and keeps sabotaging leftist movements globally there isn't much hope for our third world siblings. i don't really have an opinion on who should get re-educated/disposed of outside of the bourgeoisie, other people can fight that out

this is true but I would contend that it should be something that is equally available to everyone, not taken away from everyone*

*i concede that the production of recreational drugs may be enviromentally unfriendly and the structure of how we do so must change because the current system is toxic and colonialist, so the environment may be a physical constraint here that I am unsure of

the rich white gay guys ceased being LGBT when they packed up their wares and moved into their enclaves the microsecond Obergefell passed

as I say about what the folks say in Boystown: "if you're gay, you can stay; if you're queer, get out of here"

the problem isn't the loving, it's the grotesque celebration of conspicuous consumption by the upper class.

quote:

The transcendent moment, in my opinion, is her reading, lilted out in her husky voice, of three lines from a poem that reduced the audience to screams: “I would rather die than work / I would rather die than work / I would rather die than work.” The climax occurs shortly thereafter: a “cake sitting” by performance artist Lindsay Dye, who twerks rhythmically on a “vajazzled cake” she baked with her own hands, singing along to Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights.” The audience goes wild, singing and throwing dollar bills, which mix in with the frosting as she rubs cake all over her haunches.

Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?

these people tell on themselves when they write poetry with the lines “I’d rather die than work” while calling themselves marxists. they just want to be the bosses themselves.
