  • Yep, and people change with time, maybe one kept the same drive they had in their early 20’s, the other did not. This happens with other things as well, and if anything, sexual issues might just be a symptom that people’s interests, needs and priorities have changed and are no longer aligned…

    Growing old together is a game of compromises, but as long as both are willing to play, it is fun.

    I don’t get your point, you ask me a question then assume to know what my answer is, then build your case on straw?

    Would you support a world government? One democratic government, one armed forces. Only the UN has the ability to be violent. Noone else.

    Yes, yes I would very much support that government. I don’t see a point in “one armed forces” though, they serve no purpose in such a world, and why would the UN be allowed to be violent?

    Let’s continue from here.

    EDIT: About your note that anarchism doesn’t believe in the goodwill of society: I said was that freedom and equality are core rights, I don’t think you’ve corrected me on this, so the question stands on who is meant to uphold these values once they get trampled on? Is it then every man for himself, wild west style, and fuck the weak?


  • I mean, no objections here.

    Just trying to bring a bit of hope in that, even with the recent fascist uprisings everywhere, I think the world has been gradually progressing in the last several decades, and societies are now more accepting of minorities in general.

    I want to believe that what we’re seeing are the death throws of a greedy, selfish and unaccepting culture and generation, that’s trying to contaminate whatever fresh minds it still can after having lost most of us, and that our most important job is to fight them and protect the new generation from these degenerates.



  • Wholly agree, it’s a spectrum. I’m het, but that’s just a shorthand convenience label that says I’m for the most part attracted to people that don’t look like me, even if it’s not particularly useful or necessarily true, but I don’t think it’s a bad word if it’s helping express something I like.

    When I do think it’s an awful word is when it’s used to restrict someone’s freedom in choosing a partner, or forcing someone’s view of themselves into a black and white stereotype, so it’s a rather loaded word at this point.




  • Anarchism is, as far as I can tell, a contradiction.

    Equality and freedom are a core foundation of anarchy, right? Except, how do you enforce it when inevitably someone fails to respect others freedom and rights, if you reject any sort of hierarchy or control?

    I’d really love to believe that everyone would be civically irreprehensible, but reality begs to differ.
