Hard to swallow pill: cats don't like you. They're cute house ornaments at best, get over it.

>>373482That's fine, I love him even if he can't love me back. Just caring for things is nice, same with fish or plants who have less and no cognitive abilities respectively.
If a person needs returned affection and service they should just stick to dogs or no pets at all.
No. 373512
>>373510you see this same reaction when people interact with dogs who aren't stereotypically affectionate as well. service dogs, breeds that are known for being aloof like shibas and even just individuals who don't like a lot of attention or are nervous/past trauma etc., people get real personally offended if the dog doesn't respond to affection or avoids it. they just can't comprehend an animal who doesnt make humans the center of their world and think therefore they are useless as pets.
t. volunteered at humane society for 10 years, groom dogs for a living and own two rescue dogs, one of which is a greyhound who despises 99% of people.
No. 373519
>>373504There are plenty of animals that are nothing like dogs and are still better than cats overall, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, rats, but worse than cats are often their owners; in particular those that let them roam and refuse to desex them.
Unrelated to what you said here’s a really hard to swallow pill though, people who prefer the company of animals because they ‘don’t judge them’? They absolutely would if they had the capacity to like those around you, if you’re unable to connect to the people around you or find that they avoid you then you most likely have an awful personality or you have poor sense of hygiene.
No. 373525
>>373482Yeah sorry, but that's bs. Cats definitely get attached to their humans and show affection.
I totally get it if someone's not a fan of how you have to go slow and steady with cats, and would rather have the straightforward and overwhelming affection from a dog. But to say that cats don't care about anything or anyone at all, that's just a straight up lie.
No. 373550
>>373519Does being shy and nervous in social situations count as an awful personality?
I don't get anxious around my cat (or tarantula lol) because they don't expect me to converse with them, which I'm not great at with strangers. Also am kind of ugly. I'm clean, just got an ugly face and humans can judge me for that but other animals won't.

>>373482my cats sleep on my head or right next to me every night, will start purring when i look at them, demand affection constantly, etc. i've owned and fostered 18 cats throughout my life and the same thing basically happens every time. you can't demand affection from your friends and just expect your friends to fawn all over you. it does take time to develop a relationship with your cat/with cats and maintain trust. it's in their best interest and safety that they be able to 'vet' people before being vulnerable with them. why and how is this a fault of theirs?
why do people think an animal's willingness to put themselves in danger by being vulnerable with anyone is a positive? that's a very bad thing. a very scary thing. imagine chiding children for not being affectionate soon enough and not being doting and subservient soon enough and then considering hesitation or boundaries "not liking" or "not caring about" others.

>imagine chiding children for not being affectionate soon enough and not being doting and subservient soon enoughThis happened to me as a child all the fucking time, it's how a lot of little girls were socialized before the 2000s until anyone started to give a fuck. Give a fuck about the curious case of training kids that they have no bodily autonomy, no right to say 'no' to 'affection,' and to always defer to people claiming they have authority.
I was forced to give hugs and kisses to people when I didn't want to, be touched when I didn't want to be touched, be polite even if I didn't want the attention, etc.
Know what happened to me when a man with authority molested me and yelled at me that what he was doing was actually okay? That's right, nothing.
It's fucked and it happens. People are just as mental to their own children as they are to dogs and cats.

>>373960Yeah, it's nonsense. Low libidos are real, libidos so low they are practically non existent are real, but what are the chances it's affecting a bunch of young, otherwise healthy girls? The common denominated is tumblr bullshit combined with insecurity, discomfort and inexperience when it comes to sex and being viewed sexually. Which is also understandable but not likely to be some permanent, complete lack of a sex drive that is so significant it needs a label.
I think if true asexuality existed that wasn't a medical/mental issue, it would be impossible for them to perceive their own sexual orientation. Like, the way a 100% straight person feels about the same sex or a 100% gay person feels about the opposite sex, that's how an asexual would feel about both. But they always seem to have a preference one way or the other, like Kenna obsessing over anime and kpop boys. Actually, in her case I think she's just so infatuated with perfect characters and idols that being into a regular human being is unfathomable to her… thus 'asexual'.

But in all seriousness I’m very skeptic so to believe that somehow one race, and specifically only on portion of said race, has magical genetics that gives them all flawless skin. Please, it’s like believing that they all come from the womb highly skilled and intelligent when in reality it’s that past generations valued education and success very highly and had strong work ethic which they would push onto their children from a young age - I say past generations because a lot of the asians I’m around now seem to have taken to heart the meme that they’re just inherently superior and seem genuinely dumbfounded that they don’t achieve better results than other races when they put in absolutely zero effort.

It's really nothing like a snowstorm lol, but I say that as a person who experienced 9 feet of snow the year before I moved to a warmer state.
Humidity is kind of a bitch but in some places there's dry heat so people don't always have to deal with that, whereas snow is plain cold universally.

>>374154I totally agree with you, but to be fair I went through patches of that attitude that you say your mother had at periods of my life due to self esteem issues.

Plus sometimes I'd have really well intentioned friends be fucking annoying and it was pissing me off but I'd get mad about it after. Like one of my mates went into my bedroom amd complained it was messy one day and started randomly cleaning it up and looking through my shit. I get she felt close like she could trust me and was trying to be helpful but it annoyed me no end. Sometimes I can't tell if the person is at faultor it's me exaggerating so I just usually blame it on a bad interaction and try again.

Lip tint really is god tier imo. It just makes your lips look a different colour with no particular texture, it doesn't look like it's slathered in product the way lipstick or gloss does. It lasts ages and doesn't rub off, it's cheap, it can be as bright or natural looking as you want, I love it.

Adults who are still obsessed with Harry Potter are weird and embarrassing. The fact that there are 25 year olds who still say their favorite book is a Harry Potter installment is sad. Yes, I get that you loved the books and movies as a child but you don't need to make the fact that the online quiz said you're a hufflepuff into your entire personality and have your life revolve around it.
Actually people who base their entire personality off of any one thing like that are fucking weird. But I feel like the Harry Potter obsession is the most pervasive and socially acceptable. There are so many adults (some of which wouldn't have even been children when HP first came out) who are still obsessed with the books and movies, which are about literal children! The harry potter subreddit is the cringiest thing - full of tattoos, home decor, engagements, weddings, etc. And according to them if you aren't rabidly obsessed or don't care for the series you're immediately a disgusting heartless heathen who didn't have a childhood.
The ridiculous theories that they come up with and the over analysis of a series written for children is insane. It's not that deep. Don't even get me started on the degeneracy J.K. Rowling is attempting to insert into all of it in order to stay relevant

I also feel like a lot of people like this focus more on peacocking and humble bragging and less about actually reading and discussing books.

Maybe I'm a retard but I only liked being taught Shakespeare when we watched a film adaptation alongside it, because then things actually made sense, and it was easier to appreciate the wordplay and such.
I understand some plays are a little more obscure and don't have a movie version or a recorded theater performance, but it's fucking Shakespeare, for crying out loud. I'm gonna guess that almost any Shakespeare play that's being taught in high school probably has multiple movie adaptations.

Shakespeare is so easy to make into a fun thing, there are rude jokes and interesting insights about the culture of his times for a start, there should be no excuse to just leave kids with the scripts and hope they get on with it.
I can still see the importance of teaching his works since it covers usage of literary devices, language history and how just knowing his work unlocks many cultural "in jokes" even in current media. But if a teacher isn't going to make it accessible then kids could learn probably as much from studying Friends.

The discussion groups were more fun because they were smaller, and in general everyone picked something that appealed to them so it wasn't an endless stream of "it's soooo boring". Introduced me to my favorite book that completely changed my view of literature - I used to be one of those purple prose snobby elitists.

>>375575small dogs get picked on usually because their owners think they don't need to be trained or something because they're small. Most people I talk to seem to dislike their piercing barking. Big dog barks are legitimately scary tho.
I personally don't really like the really frail, small ones. They seem like they'll die really easily, and I tend to trip over my own small dog but it's fine cuz he's buff and sturdy.

>>375603Majority of dogs have been bred for companionship first and foremost, pit bulls to begin with were bred to be guard dogs which is why they have such strong jaws and quick reactions, because of these traits they’ve now been bred to be fighting dogs.
Most dogs aren’t violent in nature but aren’t being put to work like intended, say sheepdogs or terriers - they were bred to have high energy levels and most people are sedentary now so they have nowhere to focus that energy
We’ve fucked up all domestic animals with our breeding and now sedentary lifestyles, look at sheep who now have to have their tails docked because we no longer eat that part of their body and flies will eat them alive if we keep their tails intact (other than maybe very small farms that can give each animal individual attention)

>>375603>they're just larger and more muscular with stronger bite force than those dogs, so they inflict more damage.I.. I think that's pretty much the reason why people dislike them so much, anon. If a golden retriever bites you, it's usually only one bite and done to protect itself or its owner. If a pitbull bites you, it's due to you probably moving too much to
trigger a response and because they're bred partly from terriers, they grab you in their jaws and shake you around until you're dead. Most other terriers are small (thus relatively harmless) in size and have this feature to hunt for small rodents, but because pitbulls are big fuckers they're bred to kill bigger prey.

>>375689You are factually incorrect.
"Our data were consistent with others, in that an operative intervention was more than 3 times as likely to be associated with a pit bull injury than with any other breed."
Characteristics of 1616 Consecutive Dog Bite Injuries at a Single Institution, by by Golinko et al., Clinical Pediatrics, July 2016"Our data revealed that pit bull breeds were more than 2.5 times as likely as other breeds to bite in multiple anatomical locations."
Characteristics of 1616 Consecutive Dog Bite Injuries at a Single Institution, by by Golinko et al., Clinical Pediatrics, July 2016"Most alarming is the observation that when attacks come from unfamiliar dogs, the pit bull was responsible for 60% and 63% of all injuries and ocular injuries, respectively."

>>375699i'm not factually incorrect. pitbulls do cause more injury because of the fact that they are stronger with much more bite force and attack differently than other dogs. i already said that. that means that their attacks result in more severe injuries that necessitate intervention/operation. HOWEVER, their temperament is not unlike other dogs. they aren't especially aggressive in comparison to other dogs, they're just more dangerous because they're pure muscle with a different fighting/attack style.
and most studies concede that the frequency of pitbull attacks have more to due with the fact that pitbulls and pitbull mixes are becoming some of the most popular dogs thanks to assholes, not because they tend to be especially aggressive as a breed.

So while I doubt it'll ever be made illegal, I do think there is merit to doing this and here is why.
Both lolicons and furries have been outed time and time again on discord servers and other online communities to be instigating IRL sexual relations with minors and animals. This is very unlike people with rape kinks (also a gross fetish), who can get their fix through consensual BDSM and don't develop communities specifically with the purpose of coming up with grooming tactics and exchanging smut videos.
We do know lolicons and furries both almost always end up in grooming related communities and the drawn porn is a catalyst. It's a matter of when, not if, they will end up hurting an animal or a child. They always end up going online to groom kids or adopting animals to rape them. They don't stop at cartoons, they do seek live action footage and then escalate it to seeking IRL experiences.
So for the reason they have a tendency to create communities and discuss grooming techniques, I think you could probably make a case to ban them in a country that isn't the US.

>>377098So did I, but you do realise that just because something impacts you doesn’t mean you’re suddenly going to develop an incest fetish, right?
Since a lot of you are misunderstanding, by impact I meant that kids in that age group are often obsessive readers, they often devour the books they love and move onto the next book by that author because of how much they enjoy their work. Of course there are outliers, but look at what kids in that age group are like in book stores/libraries or better yet what their parents are like - when looking for a book it’s almost always something by the same authour or from their favourite series.
And that’s what I was saying sticks with people, they associate that childhood wonder and excitement with those books. A lot of the books you would’ve read in your older years you’ll have forgotten unless they really spoke to you, but the books from your childhood stick with you because children love things differently. Sure, the book itself may not have been the greatest, and they haven’t completely changed the course of your life, but the feelings stick with you.
That’s all I meant by impact, I don’t know why so many of you are having trouble understanding that impact doesn’t have to be life changing.

I have no vendetta against young moms, just more the expectation that women have to become all encompassing servants once they have kids with no thoughts or ambitions of their own. Obviously being a mom is a huge commitment but I feel like people expect woman to be 100% about your children or else you're a bad parent. It's sad and frustrating seeing women fall into this trap and not realizing that they can have children as well as a sense of individuality.

My kids are all people every ask me about and my parenting is constantly under scrutiny (mainly whether or not I wait on the hand on foot), but a lot of it comes internally too. Constant feelings of guilt if I do anything for myself or feel sick of my kids.
Although I don’t at all see the need to post about my kids publicly all the time, and I see this more from older mums than the younger ones.
Again though, any ambition someone has tends to go out the window during their kids younger years because they take up so much of your time and attention and you feel half dead majority of the time

I hate commentary channels on YouTube. It's usually some smug, mediocre white guy sharing his unsolicited opinion on some dumb internet trend or social issue that doesn't matter at all.
And before anyone accuses me of race-baiting or whatever, I don't dislike them purely because they're white dudes. I know there are other types of YouTube commentators. There is an alternative subgenre of YouTube commentary that's more dominated by women and gay dudes. They usually don't show their face and talk more about celebrities and their "unpopular" opinions. I also find them annoying and low effort. These guys however the ones that gain the most praise and popularity, so they're the ones I'm singling out. And they annoy me so much more than the other ones precisely because of how blind they are to their own mediocrity.
They always talk about internet "celebrities" or rant about some ~wacky SJWs~ that are easy targets, and it's always just frankly boring. I'm not against ranting or criticizing in general or in comedy, but these guys aren't even clever enough to make it funny or interesting. They all just say basically the same thing about the same topics as each other.
There are only so many times you can watch someone act incredulous at some weirdo on the internet before it gets old. Everything about them annoys me - their smug faces, condescending voices, overused editing, the fact that they actually make their living from this… These guys are always like Reddit personified.
I hate that I'm actually agreeing with Brittany Venti about something, but her video about them summed up a lot of what I feel towards commentary channels. It's a trend that can't die soon enough.

I have a huge amount of sympathy for celebrities and I think they live awful, oppressive, extremely stressful lives. We all know that money and nice things don't guarantee happiness, so even though they're rich and privilged, I still feel bad for them. The people who are supposed to protect and care for them, dehumanize the shit out of them, and this isn't even getting started on child celebrities. I imagine that most of them have been sexually coerced and raped and abused in other ways. I mean, imagine how stressed out you'd be if millions of people were eagerly awaiting your mental breakdown and basically actively cheering it on. When I think about celebrities like Britney Spears, Courtney Stodden, Anna Nicole Smith, Justin Bieber etc, I just feel an extreme, deep sadness.

I think it's just bad for the mind to be exposed to millions and billions of people for a long time with your personality attached to a performance you have to keep up.

There is just a ton of pressure on celebs and how don't you lose yourself in that persona?Partners often love the idea of them or simply the money and fame. People latch on to them. Lots of families behind a celeb must be awful as fuck. And also, as a celeb you might just turn into a total asshole because people around you sometimes only care about your performance and blow your ego up.
Not saying this is true for all celebs but the challenges that come with that lifestyle are crazy.
I have a lot of respect for those who stay sane and grounded and keep some privacy and even make use of their fame for good causes.

I don't know to which extent this counts as an "unpopular" opinion nor do I know if this has been posted before so bear with me, but I think drug glorification culture and this trend of parading drug use so casually is fucking retarded and irresponsible. doing drugs recreationally in general is something I find retarded and unappealing, i tried weed last year just to see what the fuss was all about and it was pretty meh. I don't judge my friends who do recreational drugs nor do I preach to them but i still think it's moronic and basic to act like doing drugs is such a fun and cool activity.
weedfags are always reeeing when you try to tell them that even if weed isn't as bad as say, cocaine, it's still a drug and it's still somewhat harmful for your system. people now think that smoking weed is a whole ass personality trait that makes them seem "chill", interesting or appealing, but in reality parading something like that to the public makes you the opposite, it makes you look stupid and vapid and very basic imho. if you like smoking it that's fine, you do you, but it's not an obscure or interesting habit that makes you appealing, you're not suddenly special and yoonique bc you smoke a blunt.
also people really are out here sperging about weed all day every day (a few lolcows come to mind) acting like it's not an addiction. because they do know addiction is bad and harmful but they won't admit it bc you lose clout if you say something bad about weed now i guess, don't want to look like an old grandpa for dating to have an original thought and realize that hey maybe this little drug habit of mine isn't as good for me as I was made to believe it was.

There's a lot of darkness in the LGBT community that goes unaddressed because most people are too much on the 'gay rights' bandwagon
There's a high proportion of homosexuals suffering from the toxic culture that exists in large portions of the gay community. The average homosexual man suffers from a form of Don Giovannism and it's not at all uncommon for gay men to rack up over 1000 sexual partners, most of these being one time affairs. Illicit and anonymous gay sex is extremely common and normal for homosexual men, and much of this is unsafe, unprotected sex. This is basically the sole cause of the community's excessively high STD rate. The homosexual nightlife community is overindulgent on drugs and needles just as it is on sex, and much of this is again, done unsafely. Sexual abuse is extremely common and predatory behavior goes unreported and unenforced because there's just not the mainstream knowledge of how common homosexual rapists are, the average person these days just thinks that all homosexuals are the cuddly happy guys as portrayed by the media.
Most people think that the stereotype of gay men being sex crazed perverts is just a reactionary, christian talking point. And will dismiss it as such. And while it's not fair to say that ALL HOMOSEXUALS have the problems I outlined above, there is this dark underbelly to the homosexual community that people just refuse to address anymore.
And there's also a really sick subtype of homosexual, the type I think is most likely to sexually abuse children. He dresses in baggy clothes, usually shorts and oversized T-shirts. He has a childish sense of humor that resembles something of an adam sandler skit, putting on funny voices and just generally…Acting how I imagine he perceives 11 year old boys to be. He will almost never speak to women, is extremely misogynistic and has an extreme narcissism about him. I'm not sure if I'm reaching, but I've encountered this exact type of homosexual man several times in my life and one is close to the family. But they're one of the few types of people in life that weirds me out.

victims' families meanwhile if the same thing happened anywhere else than a first world country, like somewhere in the middle east or africa no one, including the government and courts would give a fuck but okay. gay hate crimes in first world countries are way, waaaay lower than anywhere else. gays in the west are extremely privileged, protected by the law, can get married, can have a normal life, homophobes in the west get their careers ruined. they are not oppressed.

>>379244It's going to take some years for people to adjust to having these rights and being accepted as regular people. Eventually they'll feel comfortable and not persecuted so they'll relax on the IM QUEER shit and develop other interests. Also gay marriage itself was a very recent thing in the grand scheme of things (2015 federally, come the fuck on) unless you're a child that doesn't know what it was like a few decades ago where "gay" was an honest derogatory term and even before that when gay people were getting serious hate crimes committed against them. People pass their traumas down and it takes a few generations for these things to heal.
Besides there still
are pockets of the country where being gay is very much a negative thing and most families are more "tolerant" than actually accepting. i.e. they won't try to murder a gay neighbor but will flip a tit if their kid is gay. Guess what, that kid is going to have issues and they will probably not feel safe even later in life bc these traumas absolutely stay with them.

YouTube keeps recommending me a video of Jay Leno almost being bitten by an alligator, that Steve Irwin brings on, and it's made me think animal experts/handlers should stop doing that. I love animals, and I loved Steve Irwin, but when you watch those segments on talk shows where they bring animals out you can tell the animals are stressed and scared. And the host freaks out and laughs, and the audience laughs, and the animal is trying to get away. And then they are rudely grabbed or shoved into a bag or box and dragged away back stage. How long do they have to stay in those bags, or boxes, or small cages back stage, being scared of all the lights and noise? It doesn't seem fair or safe, to the animals or the people, like the hosts who can be bitten or scratched by an animal they have no idea how to handle. Also extra unpopular opinion: Steve Irwin was too reckless with a lot of animals, and put his infant son in needless danger with the crocodile. Him being killed by an animal came as no surprise to me. Still miss him though. RIP Steve.

RE: Card games. I also do not enjoy them too much (though I like to collect some pretty Pokemon ones), but they give your brain a lot to think about and some people enjoy it. First you have to create the deck and then you have to keep thinking about the best strategy during the game, planning not only the next move but also for the next turn, consider the opponent's cards and avoid misplays.
I find all of this extremely exhausting, but my bf loves it and I can see why. It's a bit like chess in that regard, except you have so much more varied chess pieces, it's crazy.

>>381565This. The American Dream borderlines on being a myth. The majority of Americans struggle financially and it's not because ~they're not working hard enough~. Our system pretends it's a meritocracy, but it's been proving countless times in countless ways that it only is on paper. Very few people actually make it to the upper class if they weren't already born in it. The reality is that higher class people will always have advantages over you. The rich can just buy their kid's way into the top colleges, taking spots from more qualified applicants. Most people can't afford college to begin with and if they go end up in debt for most of their lives. Businesses will always give higher jobs to people based on their connections rather than their merits. And don't even get me started on the health care system. Get sick or hurt and it can completely ruin your financial health for the rest of your life.
Also, don't forget that American politics are entirely set up to prioritize the needs of corporations over the people. This isn't even thinly veiled anymore. Our country literally let's people die and the planet get destroyed because a handful of companies are paying our politicians to let them so they can make more money with no fucks given to human suffering.

>>381556>I love dogs to death but I'm fucking terrified of pitbulls and think the whole breed should be illegal to keep outside without a muzzle. Hard to take anyone's opinion on this topic seriously when they don't even know that pit bulls aren't a breed. "Pitbull" refers to any mix of a number of different breeds. That's part of why their temperaments and physical traits vary so wildly. It's also why the idea of breed restrictions on them is so ludicrous. You're basically saying "no mix involving any of a dozen different breeds should be allowed outside without a muzzle".
That being said, as someone whose worked in shelters and has had experience with many pitbulls, I do agree that people need to stop painting them all out to be flawless angel babies. Out of the dozens I've dealt with, only one was sketchy, but the owners very much ignored the red flags and made weak excuses for her
problematic behavior to the point where I was amazed there had been no serious incident with her by the time she died. If you suggested she was potentially dangerous, they would act like you were an oppressive monster. Luckily they had the sense to take advice not to have her around children thank god.
Still, the number of attacks by pit bulls compared to how many there are is far too tiny to justify banning them or forcing special regulations on them. The problem isn't pit bulls themselves. It's the ridiculous lack of regulations concerning dogs. Anyone can just get a dog and treat it however the fuck they want if no one sees to report it (not like dogs can call animal protective services) or be a backyard breeder. While pitbulls have the highest attack count, most large breeds (especially ones for protection) have the potential to be extremely dangerous if in the wrong hands and do have a sizeable attack/fatality count themselves. This is because sadly anyone can get one and train and/or breed them improperly or abuse them.

I think they just wanted to believe that retarded "dolls are creepy/scary" meme. How can you look at 99% of dolls and think they're creepy or scary?

Anyone who complains about the TV-version of TWD dragging on and being too long has never read the comics, and they're completely missing the point of TWD.

In the friend finder thread on cgl you were asked which country you're from - and of course every murican answers TX, MI, MS, MN,… I mean on the one hand most europeans know at least the most "famous" states, but nevertheless it's rude and entitled to just expect everybody to know and cater to you.
No matter whether they're conservative or liberal, they're a hivemind of "We're the most important!". Something I've also noticed is that Americans love to ask your opinion on Trump (and get mad if you're "too stupid" to have the same opinion as them) meanwhile many of them wouldn't even know who the leaders of most european states are. Why should we care so much about your country?
It's the same here on lc as well, people from all over the world will say which country they're from, Americans will name the state or even the city.
And the simple reason some europeans ask "which state?" is obviously because they're proud of their knowledge.

And yeah men really don't notice how much they are being directly pandered to and how uncomfortable it is for women, they're so used to it that it's just normal and to be expected.
I don't know how unpopular this opinion would be here because I think R:Z also got some women convinced it was good, but fucking hell I DESPISED it. Men were completely blinded to the mediocrity because they loved Rem completely discarding her personality to devote her entire self to some tracksuit wearing loser. She was almost cool at first and then got progressively less and less cool the more she loved him, because apparently the best thing a woman can be is an empty shell aside from her feelings for someone. But also I was mad because the series itself was just bad. Cheesy, generic villains, a boring fucking harem with an even more boring MC, unimaginative world building, uncreative fights, etc. I can barely remember shit about it except that I hated it and I hate how blinded men are by cute girls.

I'm well aware of the fact that France and England are two completely different countries. My point is that some states also might as well be totally different countries. Also, the societal norms in HI and Texas actually are more different than France vs. England. TX is shamelessly racist, sexist, homophobic, and conservative Christian. This worldview is not socially acceptable in HI. France and England have way closer political values than these two states do. To deny that TX and HI are completely different places with completely different cultures and have nothing in common besides speaking English and using USD, then you're just as culturally ignorant as the Americans you bitch about. Ffs Hawaii is an island with it's own race.

Also, Utah and Idaho aren't as well known for their art and culture as a lot of other areas in the US. Which I'm pretty sure you know (or at least I certainly hope you do otherwise you're just proving your ignorance further) and were just using as examples in a weak attempt to poke fun at the idea of American areas having a rich and diverse culture. If you're genuinely interested in learning about this stuff, I recommend starting with NYC, LA, the Bay Area, Boston, the Colorado Mountains, Hawaii, Florida, Louisiana and Vermont.

on the other hand, buying a purebred cat is fucking STUPID because 10/10 it's going to just be a household pet and you can get a shelter cat cheap as chips. there is no reason, ever, to buy a cat from a breeder unless all you care about is how it looks.

>>383198>populated with filthy breeders Well done dehumanising the majority of the human race. It’s not like wanting to reproduce is instinctual or anything
To both you anons chimping out, fertility rates are falling at a rapid pace and they continue to do so, at this rate once the baby boomers finally die we don’t have nearly enough children being born to replace them. And we have this phenomenon over and over again, it’s just never got to quite this severity and nobody before our grandparents managed to fuck shit up quite so badly
A decline in fertility rates due to things like birth control but also the rising disgust with children is absolutely comparable to past diseases/wars/what have you in that they’re catalysts to population control, just not as severe.

And we have this phenomenon over and over againNo, we have not had this phenomenon over and over again. There has never been such a high number of people on the planet, and each person deserves a life of dignity and comfort and modern conveniences, without the risk of spreading disease or further cutting at the support system we depend on, which is completely unachievable at anywhere near 7.6 billion people. We need far, far fewer people, not anything close to replacement rates. As I said, comparing birth rates to the baby boom is seriously warping the perception of birth rates, and that's where the claim of "collapsing fertility rates" comes from. 7.6 billion or anything close is way over carrying capacity if we intend to improve quality of life in the third and second world. Fertility rates are not as low as you think.

>>383240This. Most people I know choosing not to have kids want them, but either A) can't afford them and don't want to subject a child to growing up on poverty or B) don't want to subject them to climate change. Straight up not wanting children is in the minority. And even if if it wasn't, people shouldn't feel morally obligated to procreate if they don't want to.

care about their offspring, they wouldn't decide to have them or cheer for the continuation of mankind while subjecting them to a future that is anything but bright.
People will breed regardless but if you have any common sense, would you really want your kids to grow up in a world that is going to have few natural resources (in the hands of the rich no less), high unemployment rates due to automatization, health hazardous pollution and so on?
Also, only capitalists worry about dropping birth rates. More consumers, more cheap workforce, more people getting into debt.
>>383252I also think that the loud minority of people, mainly women, are sick of being told to look forward to motherhood. And I hated and still hate people telling me to find someone and have a family because it's something you just need to do.
I see way more people insisting that having kids and a family is the proper way to do it than people being against it.
No. 383268
>>383263I agree, anon. I also feel like parents willfully ignore all the horrific things that can happen to their children in general. We live in a world full of predators and the rate of kids harmed by them is too high for me to feel okay bringing them into the world. Even if you're super careful, there's no guarantee it won't happen to your child. And once they're older, you can't watch them like a hawk anymore, so there's nothing you can do to lessen the chances other than give them some pepper spray and safety tips.
And predators aside, there's just a laundry list of awful shit that can go wrong and often does; car crash, illness, extreme bullying, being the target of bigotry, intense mental health issues, going through some horrifically traumatic event. The list goes on.
But people have rose tinted glasses when it comes to kids and think everything is a fairytale. They don't think about the endless possibilities they're signing them up for.

>>383290There's immigration and then there's immigration. Uncontrollable immigration from countries with a radically different culture is bound to cause tension and conflicts within the borders because it takes a few generations to assimilate newcomers. The reason ISIS got so many soldiers from wealthy first world countries is that 2nd generation immigrant kids felt out of place in the society and took their rebelling to drastic measures. People immigrating from neighboring countries with similar cultures often have little trouble gaining a visa but it isn't as popular because they often don't have the need to move out. The "let's get hundreds of thousands of people in" tactic is way too radical to ever work as a solution to repairing a warped age demographic pyramid. Treating overpopulated countries like barrels of workforce you can scoop people out of isn't a sustainable solution in any way.
There isn't a clear-cut solution to the underpopulation problem because it seems to be nature taking its course. It's expensive and takes more effort to produce children in a wealthy first world country because you don't need 12 kids working at your farm anymore. The third world countries are bound to take that course if their economy ever starts nearing first world countries.

You keep breeding, not like it matters. What's another digit on this planet? Not like you or most people will listen or care.
The damage is already done and we're just going to exhaust all the resources that are left and exterminate what little hasn't gone extinct.

No. 383361
>>383328>>383334I disagree that it's not worth talking about. Not everyone is so stubborn. The issue with something like climate catastrophe is that it's too abstract for them to actually conceptualize and visualize and apply to their daily lives. But the effects are so far reaching and inescapable and it's incredibly important that people are informed. It's worth trying and it's not like everyone is even necessarily SO emotionally invested in having kids. A lot of people are just expected to do so and it rocks their world to alter those expectations and consider something different for their future, but I think plenty of people are reachable. At the very least, I think preventing
some suffering is worth the effort.
>>383318You're right, it has never been ethical and the very act of bringing a child into the world, even when things are comparatively good in the world, is fundamentally unethical, because as I said, you rob your child of consent and your child can still suffer from congenital disease, predators, homelessness, acquired disease, old age, etc. You're literally forcing them into unavoidable suffering with no guarantee for anything else. At the least, war can potentially be averted. At least with issues like war, the problem is other people, and easing tensions, or knocking out some enormous asshole Hitler is something we can reasonably accomplish. Besides, all of those times are literally notorious for having DRASTICALLY decreased birth rates, that's literally why we had the baby boom. Anyways, now we're facing an existential threat that is against mother nature itself and we have literally no solutions. Natural disaster is a way, way more threatening opponent than other people. Besides, just because having kids was never ethical doesn't mean we shouldn't acknowledge that and apply that consciousness to our lives now? And as another anon said, birth control wasn't even a thing until the mid to late sixties, so there really wasn't much of a choice. We're inundated with options, and really, it's weird that you're excusing people being ignorant about bringing children into the world when a good parent, by nature, would be someone that heavily weighs the effects of their having a child and the suffering the child will have to go through. A good parent, by definition, wouldn't have a child knowing it can't consent and knowing they can't guarantee a high quality of life for that child.

The birth control pill wasn't around until the 60s, but to pretend like prior to that women didn't take measures to protect themselves from pregnancy and motherhood is wrong. Since ancient societies, women used certain herbs to induce miscarriage, all other old wives tales of food and activities to stop a pregnancy. Condoms and the pull out method also were used as "birth control". The diaphragm was patented and popularized in the late 1800s, but similar devices were used before that.
Of course these methods weren't as effective and precise as hormonal birth control, but pregnancy wasn't an inevitability back then.

Kale is not a magic superfood, none of the dark, pungent greens are. Why do urban vegan/Whole Foods fags act like they just discovered black gold when they eat kale? If you have family from the South, are black, or from some countries in Asia and Eastern Europe, you’ve probably eaten some form of dark bitter greens at one point in your life. I just find health food fads interesting because it’s always like, some food which has been around for centuries and no one outside of the community would touch with a 10 foot pole because it isn’t ‘sexy’ enough to put on a plate.
Like now I’m seeing a renaissance of Southern cooking, and suddenly people who used to belittle you for eating cornbread, black eyed peas, collard greens, are just touting the praises of these everyday staples as though the angel Gabriel himself delivered them a plate of fried chicken with gravy.

I think it peaked around 7-9 and has continued being funny (though it might be more that it has several absolute gold episodes per season now while the earlier seasons were more consistent with less gems). It's one series where flanderization actually works and the characters just get funnier as their shitty traits become more obvious and solidified. Watching 1-3 now is bizarre, they're way too nice (by their standards) and just don't have particularly distinct personalities. The Gang Dines Out or the Gang Tries Desperately to Win an Award are probably my favourite episodes of theirs.

I consider myself a feminist, but I feel like some women have used it as some sort of weird way to make themselves feel superior despite being so shitty. One example is this fat chick who was with this really hot guy that she treated like absolute shit. He finally dumped her after a few years of paying for everything while she mentally abused him and just sat on her ass getting fatter and fatter. Now she acts like she's the
victim and goes on about how she has waaay higher standards now and makes it about feminism. Like bitch, you're a horrible feminist. Your idea of feminist empowerment is not having to do jack shit or take care of yourself while a man you have zero respect for pulls all the weight.

When you've come out of a shitty relationship and been broken down by some stupid asshole that spent the better part of your relationship hiding everything about himself in an effort to seem like a good person only to reveal that he's a literal scumbucket, it IS reassuring to have male friends to remind you that there are others out there and that you're appreciated by other guys that you also respect or like on some level.

But in all seriousness I don’t know why people take the show to heart, it’s literally gay men just dressing up as caricatures of women and screaming at each other.

It doesn't define womanhood, and I never said it did, but these people wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't part of it. Nobody sees a drag queen in a dress and starts to associate dresses with drag queens, they see a man cosplaying as an exaggerated version of a woman. That's just how it is.
>whether the guys who do it are misogynists is a different thing, but the act itself has to do with shitty gender roles anyway.My entire post was about misogyny, though, not gender roles. A lot of people in that scene aren't doing anything to smash gender roles, they're just showing off how simultaneously obsessed and bitter they are about those same gender roles, often with a not-so-subtle twinge of bitterness toward women and all things to do with femininity.
>i think cis women choosing to participate in that are fucking stupid though because not only is it easy to turn a woman into a caricature of a woman, but it's embarrassing that they want to participate in something like that.I think it's embarrassing, too.

I was referring specifically to trans women's behavior in my post, especially in the vein of
>>384815 on "letting on trannies [because trans women are women, right?]", not attacking drag queens. Some trans women are drag queens, like it or not. I think drag queens who aren't are just weird gay men, and I don't care about them as long as they don't attack actual women the same way trannies do. The way they use terms like "fish" and perform their imagined stereotypes of catty, unintelligent women is gross, though, and I can't relate to anyone who would find that shit cute.

Either way, you seem to have entirely missed my point, and the other anon's point, because she wasn't trying to defend or protect drag queens. Your post also missed the point of what others were saying, in that drag doesn't let cis women in because they are women, but they let trannies in because they're not, so the trannies want to let cis women in because it validates them thinking they're women.

>Remember when you were a teenager and you were horny and curious, it wasn't because you innately learned sex felt good at that age, no. it literally was that cumming felt good. again, the biological basis is there, but that pleasure, NOW, considering we're not rabbits or shrews, isn't the main motivation for us fucking. the basis is there, obviously. that's why we fuck, but it doesn't mean it needs to literally result in a pregnancy or else women aren't adequately satisfied. again, that's why most people use contraception. people deliberately try to bypass the negative consequences of the system that was created to encourage breeding. i'm not saying people don't have the 'urge to breed'. what i'm saying is that it isn't actually that strong or unavoidable (especially the way society says it is in women) given that it takes a backseat to pleasure when pleasure alone can be isolated.

>>385652I'll probably get called a fatty-chan for this but I think fat representation in the media is fine, not only because fat people exist and always will (until global warming puts us in a food crisis kek) but because fat people shouldn't be made to feel subhuman. We already know that shaming fat people doesn't actually help them, they have to want to take the steps to be healthy and help themselves. If anything, the stress of being ostracized and hated just makes the problem worse, because very fat people usually have deep-seated psychological issues that they cope with by overeating.
That said I don't think obesity should be glorified in any way. People like Tess Holliday are delusional and disgusting, as is the entire HAES movement. But I don't think having a size 16 person on screen is going to hurt anyone.

It's sad that there are people like those farmers out there, who still have this mindset as adults.

Some assholes just enjoy being jerks to anybody who doesn't fit their idea of being attractive - whether it's being too fat or something else.
I remember there even being an anon who said that just seeing fat people in public hurts and repulses her and that therefore they shouldn't be allowed to go out until they've lost weight.

One obese person is objectively not neglecting themselves while the other is, yet you as an outsider wouldn't know the difference. You'd think both are doing nothing and neglecting themselves when that might not be the case.
Just seems like an unfair assumption to make about most fat strangers, considering you don't know what they've done to try to help themselves. Ditching obesity doesn't happen in a few month's time, it can take years.

I don't think marriage is a sacred thing that children should stay within or whatever. I'm only interested in marriage as a legal institution and I would hope parents would seek to maximize a child's legal rights. It's not even that they're hippie enough to "not believe" in marriage, they're just not seeing that sort of commitment as a possibility or some shit like that.

People are heavily encouraged by friends, family, society, to have kids. Plenty of guys who seem "happy" about having kids later regret them and resent their wives or the mothers of their children, sorry to say. You can deny that this is reality, but if you look around, people are not happy.

No. 386367
>>386365Yeah, it's normal for people to value the most the thing they sacrificed the most for. They basically give up their life for their kid and that kid needs to be the best thing in their life as a result, and they push it on other people to validate their choice.
I believe most parents when they say how much they love their kids and that it was all worth it, but personally I can't stomach the thought of sacrificing the things I love for a child that doesn't exist yet.
No. 386372
>>386368Eh, not regretting your child doesn't necessarily mean being a good parent, it just means they are happier with kids than without. Love is debatable, but considering the stress of raising a kid it may be less hating the child and more just being unable to cope.
I've noticed that there is a big disconnect between what parents say and what kids say. You almost never see parents admit to being shitty to their kids or hating them or wanting to hurt them, so you get the impression that most people adapt to parenthood comfortably. But you ALWAYS see children talking about their parents being shitty, hating and hurting them. So there is a large portion of parents who just aren't equipped to have kids, and aren't enjoying parenthood, but we never hear from them - yet women are ALWAYS told that motherhood is the right path for us without any consideration that maybe it's fucking not.
No. 386375
>>386372>Eh, not regretting your child doesn't necessarily mean being a good parent, it just means they are happier with kids than without.I think it's more likely that they just can't admit that life would be much simpler without being a parent and there was a lot more they signed up for than they initially thought, and it's COMPLETELY taboo to admit it. Look at all those mommy confession sites, look at how much they complain irl, look at how absolutely drained they are, how plenty are driven into poverty, etc. There's no way they can admit their feelings anyways. Not only is it taboo, but they also run the risk of hurting their child. The truth is that we really can't know what their feelings are the majority of the time. I don't believe, from the way I see how most people speak and treat their children, and how negligent they are with them, that they truly love them. Or maybe their idea of 'love' is just really shitty and
toxic and disrespectful and super harmful for a child's development, I guess. Either, way, it's… not a great situation.
And you're so right about how we're told we're all "supposed" to be mothers and forced into motherhood. This is another reason why I think the percent of people that regret it is higher than what people want to believe. The bottomline is that not having kids is discouraged. People might talk about how it's icky "for now" but that eventually everyone needs to "grow up", etc. You see this a lot in films and tv shows for people in their mid to late 20s-early 30s or so. People that don't have kids are painted out to be immature and slow to develop, emotionally and mentally, people with Peter Pan complexes who don't want to grow up, women too unattractive or unstable to find a husband, or womanizers, etc. Eventually the childless are shown to be largely unloved and unfulfilled with a harrowing and increasingly lonely future.
No. 386376
>>386368I agree with most of what you say but, I don't think it necessarily implies that those parent don't love their children. If they truly didn't love their kids, they wouldn't look after them at all. It's true that most people treat their kids like possessions or extensions of themselves, but their parenting styles seem more like reflections of their own mental stability and level of maturity. My mom used to say the cruelest shit to me when I was young, and when I called her out on it she would just say "I can you tell you whatever I want because I am your mom." Even at that age I knew her argument was wrong and childish. Mothers should be respected but you don't get a free pass to treat your kids like shit with no backlash just because you are a parent.
It takes a lot of patience to properly discipline children while maintaining strong boundaries. They act little shits but they are still just kids. They have the impulse control of a runaway train. It's a parent's responsibility to set an example and teach them how to behave.
In a perfect world, only emotionally healthy adults would be allowed to raise kids.
No. 386384
>>386375I think there is a very specific phenomena at work with a lot of parents, where they can hate parenting, hate their life, wouldn't have kids again if they re-did their lives, but they still can't regret the child itself.I've read a lot of 'regret' stories and that seems to be the consistent theme. You might be right that they are lying to themselves but it makes some sense to me. You can love someone and want them in your life but hate your role in their life and how they've impacted you.
> Eventually the childless are shown to be largely unloved and unfulfilled with a harrowing and increasingly lonely future.This is the worst. I'm not a gung ho militant childfree person but I've given it serious consideration and still know in my gut kids aren't for me. But it's still so hard and scary when you're constantly bombarded with threats of being miserable. I'm not lonely without kids (or relationships, or a full social life) now, why should I be in the future when that's just my personality? But society just won't let up on how much we deserve to suffer a horrible life if we don't have kids.

abusive parents, etc, all over. I think because life is so stressful and because most people are unhealthy people who shouldn't be parents and either have some growing up to do or need to resolve their own trauma, or just are not fit to be parents, they excuse the way they damage their children, and society as a whole apologizes and rationalizes this kind of shit, too.

abusive attitudes and behaviors of many parents.
I'm on the fence about having kids myself, mostly because I fear choosing the wrong partner and not being the best prepared, and if I failed my child on those fronts I would feel like failure as how my parents failed me plenty of times. On that note, I think most parents are aware that they mistreat and abuse their children but develop ways to mentally cope with what they're doing instead of trying to make it better or right.

Why are the rules different for them? They themselves are "invaders", and descendants of "invaders".
If they were serious about wanting to "secure a future for their people" and keep out "invaders", why not fly back to their actual places of origin, start huwhite families to bring up the replacement rate, "defend" those and push for full separatism and isolation to the outside world? It's like they want only Europe to be some kind of rigid ethnostate, while the rest of the world is free real estate. This is just ignoring that a lot of the non-European followers are basically mutts of different European ethnicities and no one specific culture for a second to follow their "if it looks white, it's all right" narrative.

So, it's okay for him and his kind to destroy the rainbow? It makes no sense.

>>386954I consider myself pretty expert on Nazism/ fascism and Neo-nazism, it's an eccentric interest of mine and well…In my teenage years I was radicalized by a lot of it. I'm not sure I can accurately express how many of them are, but I'll try.
The far right (any type of far right, this applies to ISIS and Japanese Imperialism as well as neo nazism) is typically made up of lower to middle class males, these males typically are paranoid and suffer from anger issues, I've spent years socializing with unironic nazis and paranoia is by far their most pronounced characteristic, any one of them that isn't sufficiently radical or is too radical is thrown under the bus by the rest as being 'an obvious plant'.
Of the angry and paranoid men, you can diverge further into three different types. First you have the unprincipled sociopath. The unprincipled sociopath doesn't believe in the ideology at all and instead attaches himself to it for personal benefit. They use it as an excuse to beat people up, to hurt others, make money and to generally easily just become part of gang. Eichmann and Mengele were two historical Nazis that were clearly of this variety, and Goering fits in here pretty well also. This type usually moves on from nazism as soon it brings him no benefit, and in the modern age doesn't commit mass murder as it brings him nothing good.
The second type is the low functioning 'thug', these people fall into believing the lowest form of nazism and believe all the conspiracy theories such as jews poisoning wells and the kosher tax. All the stereotypical 'dumb nazi' pictures you see are just pictures of this type of nazi. Streicher is the historical nazi example and Andrew Anglin is the modern day example. They don't have the functioning required to commit mass murder, instead only managing a simple stabbing or at most a double homicide.
The third type is what the New Zealand shooter is, the 'pure' nazi. I say pure in the sense that they actually believe in the ideology unlike the sociopath, but also unlike the thug they have a proper comprehension of it. These people stand above the lowest level of propaganda that keeps the thugs chasing pizzagate, these are the active subverters and converters. They are also the ones that take calculated action, and when they are poor and unremarkable they easily turn to mass murder due to their fanaticism. The thug generally only manages a stabbing or a single murder when he takes action, but the pure nazi calculates it and can amass bodies like with Breivik and the shooter in New Zealand. They're generally of above average intelligence and of the different types the paranoia is most pronounced at this level. Himmler and Goering are the historical examples, Richard Spencer and the shooter here are modern examples.
No. 387295
>>386954>>387289This is where I get to your point about the manifesto's internal contradiction
>I have to ask: Do these people realize that by their definition of land ownership, anywhere outside of Europe is not "their land"? Why are the rules different for them? They themselves are "invaders", and descendants of "invaders".The shooter knows this double standard and is aware of it, but he doesn't care because deep down this isn't a moral issue for him but a Darwinian one. Fascism and nazism are rooted in Darwinism and the concept of survival of the fittest, they extend the concept to model the world as a competition between different races and nations for survival. Under their models of the world, other races and cultures incompatible with their own are an inherent existentialist threat and must be cleansed from nation. When the pure nazis talk among themselves, either historically in the Hitler table talks, or in secret on modern forums, it's expressed purely through necessity. And once they achieve their ethnostate, it still doesn't stop. In the instances in history when they believed they were safe from the threat of third world 'shitskins' or other undesirables, they eyed china anxiously and worried about the yellow peril. Himmler even planned and talked about the final race war between aryans and east Asians for supremacy over the earth.
The reason why, even in the manifesto, they stick to painting an ethical picture and paint it as 'defence'. They're actively trying to recruit more adult thugs/dupes into the fold, or maybe some vulnerable teens that they can groom into becoming pure nazis. This wasn't meant for you, or anyone with a brain, it's expressively about advancing the cause.

However it is just the reflection of man. Man has always proved his fitness through brute strength, regardless whether it is through literal fists or the threat of nuclear war.
Every male created ideology rests upon strength because it is all they have, and all they want.

I come from a shitty dictatorial country and this lib series talking about how redeemable a group of psychopathic galactic lords are is fucking insulting and insensitive. PD literally started a war for a giant roleplay, killed everyone on the process and then ran away. You just cannot start a war without a plan or strategy just because you "felt like it", especially when so many people were on the damn line, people that believed her cause they were desperate for freedom, and she used them for her stupid fantasy.

Somehow people have a real trouble accepting that there are psychopaths among us who just like the thrill of killing others and don't see the value in human life, and don't need a stupid youtuber to influence them. He had a normal life, he wasn't your generic incel loser, he was just a fucked up individual who probably would've done it had he not visited /pol/ or not. Think back to Charles Whitman or Stephen Paddock, they both shot a bunch of innocent people for no other reason that they apparently wanted to kill people.

>>387289I'm the 'nazi expert' from earlier
>>387460>white nationalist racist types actually like having black, muslims and Hispanics around because it gives them a confidence boost and they enjoy the drama. You're in a sense completely right. Fascism and Nazism requires either multicultural/multi-ethnic tension to fearmonger and gain support, or it requires financial insecurity and irredentism. There's a reason fascism is most pronounced in France and modern day Russia, France is an openly multi-ethnic society and Russia is strife with Irredentism. If it wasn't for the existence of black and brown people in French neighborhoods, National Front wouldn't even be a household name. The genocides that took place during the break up of Yugoslavia are a testament to how rapidly multi-ethnic tension develops and spreads. Fascists are completely unaware of their existence being contingent on the things they rally against, but the truth is most of these people would've been sucked up into another form of extremism if they did have a homogeneous society, such as environmental or religious extremism.
The other untold secret about white nationalists and fascists is their rather bizarre habit of sleeping with and dating non-white women. During my time associating with them, it was common for token brown girls to hang around with the group and 'date' some of the higher ranked members. Of course a few called hypocrisy, but it's for the most part ignored and accepted. This isn't limited to my experience as well, Richard Spencer dated Asian women and the Atomwaffen terrorists had a brown mixed girl dating one of the shooters.
The third thing is that, despite rallying against Islam publicly in order to maintain their 'optics'. Fascists admire radical Islam and see it as a model for European nations to draw from. This goes back to Adolf Hitler himself, who stated Christian talking points in public but behind closed doors with his friends bemoaned the fact that Islam wasn't the religion for the Aryan people. Some Fascists go full circle and adopt what is known as 'White Sharia', becoming muslim extremists themselves. They believe that Christianity is too 'cucked' to properly restructure western society, and that Sharia and suppression of women's rights are necessary to get the birthrates back up and to inspire a masculine culture. One of the Atomwaffen shooters converted to Islam and there's a growing link between western fascism and radical islam. The only reason western fascists and radical islam are fighting is because they're both scrambling for the same power.

>>387492'Revolutionary action', and 'class conflict' aren't unique to Marxism. In fact, both concepts are found in Fascism, it's just that they're approached differently. Fascists consider 'revolutionary action' necessary in order to depose the old order and to achieve their own, they glorify violence for this reason. Marxists believe in the necessity of revolutionary action because the process of Historical Materialism necessitates it. 'Class conflict' under Fascism is different from the Marxist conception of it, class conflict is thought to be an inherent part of capitalism under Marxist theory, with the only solution being an end to wage labor and private ownership of the means of production. Fascism follows a different model called 'Corporatism', in which the wealthy/bourgeois are bought into line with Fascist orthodoxy and made to serve the state, and once this is achieved 'class conflict' is over. Hitler, Mussolini, Pinochet, etc, none of them stopped wage labor or purged the fatcats, they don't care what the fatcats do as long as the fatcats become fascists themselves and serve the fascist party. Only when they don't serve fascist interests or harm the state, such as the bankers in Chile during the 1980s financial crash, will the fascists come down on them.
The history of Marxism and the history of Fascism are intertwined from the point of Fascism's origin during the 1920s. After World War I and the rise of the Soviet Union, Communist parties and insurrections took place all across central Europe. Fascism, just at the time being born as a coherent political ideology, found itself immediately in conflict with Communists on the streets and in the parliaments. Marxism Leninism and Fascism were both extremist ideologies competing for the same share of the disenfranchised population, this is why they fought each other so bitterly, the conservative are difficult to sway but the radicals freely ping from ideology to ideology and can be converted. If I recall correctly, Goebbels commented on how former communists made better national socialists than conservatives.
The final move that historically has always allowed the Fascists to cement their victory is the fact that conservatives are more scared of Marxism than Fascism. And when things come to a crisis and the conflict is at its extreme, the conservatives throw their weight behind the fascists. This happened in Rome with Mussolini, this happened most famously in Germany when Hindenburg gave Hitler the position of Chancellor and even in recent history this happened when the conservatives in Chile supported Pinochet in deposing the democratically elected Allende. The fascists need to be able to court conservatives to their side in order to win, and the only card they know how to play is the fear of Marxism.
No. 387564
>>387561(Continued)
This strategy worked pretty well for Fascists during the cold war. Franco, Salazar, Pinochet and other clearly fascist leaders were able to work alongside the USA. Fascists in the USA were able to play off fears of the cold war, George Lincoln Rockwell and his Nazi group is probably the best example of this being done during the period, suddenly everything became a Marxist conspiracy according to their dialectic, they were tolerated in conservative circles because of their mutual hatred of the Soviet Union.
The cold war ended in the 90s and well, Fascists have really struggled to move on, because they've got nothing that worked as effectively as this. Marxism is basically a dead ideology at this point in a west, the Communist parties are all being dissolved and are declining into irrelevancy. But still, in the minds of Baby Boomers, Marxism can serve as a boogyman so they carry the corpse of it around. They dress it up as 'Cultural Marxism' and dilute what 'Marxism' is down until it gets vaguer and vaguer, meaning less and less, the Frankfurt School goes from serious academics criticizing western culture to a subversive conspiracy. The worst part about this is that it fucking somehow works, and conservatives fall for it all the time. It doesn't help we have Dr Peterson, that babyboomer fuck, autistically believing the shit and beelining young teenage boys straight towards the arms of waiting Nazis.
So the shooter means basically nothing when he references Marxism. Basically not a single modern Fascist can accurately describe what they mean by Marxism or Cultural Marxism, it's just something that has historically worked for them so they've stuck with it 30 years after they should've dropped it.

toxic levels since birth just to divide us and that shouldn't be normal. Maybe i have more hope on women than you anon.

As if getting accused of being a pedophile rape fetishist isn't worse than being accused of internalized misogyny.

Since you mentioned BNHA I'll use it as an example. Let's look it up on AO3
>50223 works total>2374 under 'underage' >1302 under 'rape/non con' Fujo trends have clearly changed dramatically for the better, yet people are always acting like it's still 2000 and all seme rapists with huge hands and wimpy crying ukes. I'm sorry you've spent most of your time in contact with 12 year olds but that's obviously not the bulk of the fandom, which is realistically mostly tumblr SJWs who go out of their way to emphasize consent and will get serious backlash if they don't.
No. 387882
>>387875>How the fuck can you act like fujos get off scott free when you say shit like this?Because they do. Every community they're in they like to harass not only each other but other people minding their own business, even if said fujos don't like underage noncon. Tumblr fujo sjws and fakebois might not be into rape, but they're super into storming people's posts and inboxes on whatever social media they can because an artist won't draw their hawt yaoiz. If people started calling you homophobic for not wanting to draw porn you're not into, you'd be pretty peeved too. Plus, there's still a shit ton of grown ass fujos doing the same thing, because i don't know where you've been looking, but the uke/seme trope is still everywhere. Always the same old tired bullshit of the strong, sound, muscly-but-still-perfectly-twinkish seme and the poor little uke that's a perfect mix of a crybaby and a cute little boyslut. Several artists just came into mind, did they not?
And at the end of the day you're not allowed to criticize even the "sane ones" because it's a "community by girls, for girls!". That's why fujos feel need to harass every single woman that doesn't like/doesn't draw their incredibly specific kind of self indulgent pornography, because it's the only safe porn that women can make and consume, so if one doesn't like it she hates herself and the gays. And this is still happening to this day.

I really love debates and discussions done ITT (when it doesn't turn into a shitshow obviously), but sometimes i think we should just drop any discussion and don't reply to someone's post we consider retarded and just let it all flow, i mean, fighting over some unpopular opinion kinda defeats the purpose sometimes, like, for some reason is an unpopular opinion, this is a place where people come to say something they know most people don't like, what's the point on letting them know you dislike it?.

What the fuck? If anything, the ongoing drama is the MLM fakeboi activists bullying cis fujos for "fetishizing" homosexuals with gay art. Never have I witnessed a person being shunned for not drawing "hot yaoiz" as you put it, it literally doesn't happen. Maybe someone is shaming people for not being woke enough, I'm sure that's true, but even if it came to that the current trend is definitely trannies as homosexual men are seen as oppressors now.

The "hot seme raping a whiny uke" is a stereotype from over a decade ago and hasn't existed in ages, today we have all sorts of underage Voltronites policing adults for heir ship preferences and calling out anything not fluffy and syrupy cute (i.e. tsundere ships) as ~
abusive~. The original anon sounds like her experience is shallow at best and picked up through the grape vine. Nobody even fucking uses the terms seme/uke in 2019 because they've been used to describe the rapey nonconsensual ships, they've been outdated for at least the past 8 years.

But yes, anon seems to have had a unique experience with some fujos wanting her to draw ships she isn't into, and extrapolating that the entirety of fujos are like this and somehow that also means they are pedos who love rape. That isn't popular or welcomed anymore so she must be interacting with a small group of outsiders to regular fandom.

Liking het and ("eww lesbians") yuri? No way! I think yaoi fans can have huge entitlement issues because they spend time in spaces were only their thing is the norm.
Personally I found it depressing to see all those girls hate on women and think adult men raping little boys was just fine and business as usual.
And the alternatives were sexist straight romance stories for women and degrading porn by men.

Their /sci/ and /lit/ boards are
not their most popular, and we all know exactly why.
But I guess that doesn't count, even though 4chan/Wiz are much bigger and more widely used than LC is, because "n-not all men", and unlike men, women have an inborn duty to never be rude, nitpicky or unkind.

I wish Lolita fashion (especially gothic lolita) would return to a more experimental phase when skirt lengths, silhouettes and overall execution varied a lot more. I feel like there was an attempt to preserve them with substyles like EGA and punk lolita, but they just kind of died off and were absorbed.
I understand why there are rules and guidelines (to keep clueless newbies from shitting it up with looks that are hot messes, and to provide a style guide for those just getting into the fashion), but it's really nice sifting through GLB and seeing something like pic related. A look that's unique, while still fitting with the overall "gothic, feminine beauty" theme.

It's just another male gaslighting tactic out of many for men to try to keep women as breeding stock. They eerily remind me of gross alt-right white dudes who go on about how all white women should be busy "making white children". Men are men are men, no matter what racial and sociocultural divide exists. Never fall for their tricks.
Thankfully, besides boomers and older women in general, I don't see many black women falling for that BS. We can all agree about the evils of forced sterilization (and the fact that black women make up the largest amount of deaths in pregnancy in the medical industry, regardless of social status, and it's been confirmed that it's because doctors unironically think black people "feel less pain" and refuse to give them necessary care/meds…), but criminalizing abortion is never the answer. Even if it is made illegal, anyone who knows about the abortion-shilling already knows how systemic racism works. They'll just find other ways to kill and poison non-white people in the end.

>bashing the fuck out of other womenDo you understand what i meant with this? do you understand that being mean and obsessive over some girl online/irl for having bad taste in clothes or being color blind isn't really a "natural" thing to do, right?

My parents are snobs and whenever I bring this up they basically laugh in my face, but I wish I had gone to trade school. My diploma is useless and my debt is astronomical.

My mom was pushy about it and I should have pushed back but I basically let her dictate my major for me.
I have some friends who did cosmetology and they're happy as shit, making money and enjoying life, talking to people all day long like amateur psychs, doing creative things to people's hair if they ask for it. One of my friends does nails, which honestly looks super fun but I'm not very artistic and I think you need that to be good at hair, makeup, and nails.
I'm seriously thinking about adding another chunk of change onto my student loan debt and doing something that will get me happy, and get me a job. Maybe get an associate degree in nursing, that would allow me to be a good companion for people in hospice or just elder care in general?

It's so painfully obvious that your only knowledge of yaoi and shipping comes from outdated stereotypes over a decade old or shit you heard secondhand, because this just is not the case anymore. Top/bottom preferences are real, true, but you hardly ever see "big, stoic, rapey seme" and "small feminine mewling uke" anymore. Especially since slash fashion is overrun with antis and sjws, everything is analyzed and dissected for maximum woke potential, non-con and dubcon are the devil, fics now have long screeds on consent and using lube and having everything be ~super realistic~.
And I agree, shipping isn't political and it is just porn. But you can't compare straight men consuming lesbian porn with women being into slash content. The power imbalance between men and women must be taken into account.
And most fujos in my experience want nothing to do with shipping activism and making political statements, they just want to enjoy their porn in peace. It's the pearl clutching antis who make the minutiae of fandom into life of death social justice issues.
