it’s been dunked on plenty already but this is just really stupid. entirely devoid of real analysis, it’s just more “inequality le bad” and “poly people can be unhappy sometimes :o”

wow nice you figured out that authenticity is stupid, and that patriarchal husbands are pieces of shit. slow clap for the genius please. no differentiation of different styles of poly, and not even significant analysis of who the “elite” is supposed to comprise

even if polyamory was just a way for the ruling class to “have their cake and eat it too”, why is this bad? and it’s hilarious how we get a token disabled poly throwaway hero as an example at the end too - a better subtitle for this article would have been “poor good rich bad”

i’m all here for political critiques of polyamory, one of my fav articles is “Polyamory is Gay Marriage for Straight People”. but that’s because they’re not morons and actually engage in the subject matter with differentiation, specificity, and proper categorial analysis

omg this looks incredible what book is this?

i havent felt able to message people because it feels like it requires undivided attention that i don’t really have any more

maybe it’s also just that my social needs have been satiated and there doesn’t feel like a point

it just takes a lot of focus and energy and effort for me to pull off and i’m not really benefitting from it. lol i’ve had to put it on my to do list and schedule it out like a chore

in bed with her oscillating between dream sleep and marginally awake and i can’t tell if im talking to the real girl or dream girl at any given moment. and then i realize its been dream girl the whole time and ive just been talking to myself

this is like the third time this has happened and it always makes me feel lonely

yesterday i got three audible books. downloaded, de-drm’ed, started torrents, and then promptly changed tasks instead of actually listening to them =v=

soupchi - never knew exactly what i wanted

daytime downtown during the semester is depressingly active

😭😭😭 discourse cycle has circled the drain so long the graphic designers got involved

- equality sux - “male privilege” is a confused and analytically bankrupt reformist concept - the whole conversation is abstracted so far that it’s unclear what we’re even speaking in reference to, which is fantastic bc everyone can project their own meaning and keep discourse going :D

it’s also fascinating how de-personalized the chart is. it’s as if the man and woman have no relation to one another, and this abstract patriarchy has arbitrarily chosen to make women worse off. through what means? who knows!

6 months ago me was spittin (the cutoff * continues “… are more complex than this”)

we're dewey-pilled now chat

John Dewey, Reconstruction in Philosophy, pg. 87
To Plato, experience meant enslavement to the past, to custom. Experience was almost equivalent to established customs formed not by reason or under intelligent control but by repetition and blind rule of thumb. Only reason can lift us above subjection to the accidents of the past. When we come to Bacon and his successors, we discover a curious reversal. Reason and its bodyguard of general notions is now the conservative, mind-enslaving factor. Experience is the liberating power. Experience means the new, that which calls us away from adherence to the past, that which reveals novel facts and truths. Faith in experience produces not devotion to custom but endeavor for progress. This difference in temper is the more significant because it was so unconsciously taken for granted. Some concrete and vital change must have occurred in actual experience as that is lived. For, after all, the thought of experience follows after and is modeled upon

angrily muttering “kill yourself” to the gas pump that started playing an advertisement at me before realizing the person that just got out of their car 2 feet from me might think it’s directed at them

“you’re not a fan of adorno and nietzsche, you just need a hug bro” ⋆｡°✩ a quote thread ⋆｡°✩

1/ To those human beings who are of any concern to me I wish suffering, desolation, sickness, ill-treatment, indignities - I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, the wretchedness of the vanquished:

I have no pity for them, because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not - that one endures. -N

2/ Sociability itself is a participant in injustice, insofar as it pretends we can still talk with each other in a frozen world, and the flippant, chummy word contributes to the perpetuation of silence, insofar as the concessions to those being addressed debase the latter once more as speakers.

By adapting to the weaknesses of the oppressed, one confirms in such weaknesses the prerequisite of domination, and develops in oneself the measure of barbarity, thickheadedness and capacity to inflict violence required to exercise domination. For intellectuals, unswerving isolation is the only form

in which they can vouchsafe a measure of solidarity. All of the playing along, all of the humanity of interaction and participation is the mere mask of the tacit acceptance of inhumanity.

One should be united with the suffering of human beings: the smallest step to their joys is one towards the hardening of suffering. -A

3/ You want, if possible—and there is no more fantastic “if possible”—to do away with suffering. What about us? It does seem that we would prefer it to be even higher and worse than it ever was! Well being, the way you understand it—that is no goal.

To us that looks like an end, a condition which immediately makes human beings laughable and contemptible—something which makes their destruction desirable! The discipline of suffering, of great suffering—don’t you realize that up to this point it is only this suffering which has created every

enhancement in man up to now? That tension of a soul in misery which develops its strength, its trembling when confronted with great destruction, its inventiveness and courage in bearing, holding out against, interpreting, and using unhappiness, and whatever has been

conferred upon it by way of profundity, secrecy, masks, spirit, cunning, and greatness—has that not been given to it through suffering, through the discipline of great suffering? -N

4/ I have an image of objective happiness and objective despair, and I would say that for as long as people are unencumbered as they are now, and are not expected to take on full responsibility and full self-determination,

then for just as long their welfare and happiness in this world will be an illusion. And it will be an illusion that will one day burst. And when it bursts it will have dreadful consequences. -A

5/ Interestingly, I am a critic of relief while you are a proponent of relief: the distress that drives people to seek out such forms of relief is precisely the distress that is put on them by the institutions – that is,

from the arrangement of the world that is alien to them and omnipotent over them. And that seems to me to be an ur-phenomenon of anthropology today, that people flee precisely to the power that is causing them the harm they are suffering from. -A
