If you base your value/purpose of life on wanting to pass off your genes, everything seems like “eugenics” to you

>>782032
i wish for a world where the majority live good healthy lives and not be hampered for what they were born with

>>782031
what does abortion have to do with eugenics? Educated, high income people are more likely to get abortions than poor dummies

>>782031
>>782051
If anything, abortion functions as reverse-eugenics

>>782053
How?
This doesn’t make sense
Abortion means sniffing out fetuses
You know that Leftypol agrees that fetuses should be rid of if they have Down Syndrome?
If women decided to abort their fetuses for having autism out of individual preferences, making autism extinct, would you consider it eugenics?

>>782051
How true is this?

>>782050
Then, would be willing to live in a world where nine tenths of the human population is autistic?
Not just a slight touch either. But level two or three type of autism?

>>780254
If that’s the case, why do so many poor people become middle class homeowners?

>>778699
This is why I say work is better
There’s more moral allowance to slack off than in academics

>>781788
ur mad n ur bad lol

>>781790
Your 'good decisions' and 'discipline' is just working towards the mirage of an early retirement, aka not living your life and hoping it will get better one day when it won't. You are pathetic.

>>781790
show us a band on camera rn then

Mods deleted his comments because they couldn’t cope knowing he accurately described them lmao

>>781937
which are interesting hypotheticals and not just someone pushing their paraphilia

>>778457
Cringe

>>781939
They’re retarded hypotheses because they don’t have any base in reality and they’re pushing political biases

Good fuck vtubers.

>small chance
oh yeah sure its just a "small chance" alright bro but in all seriousness kys

ugh


fucking extinction


prehistoric birds


I think I could write lyrics like Thom Yorke maybe "cracked eggs birds scream as they fight for life"

except I would make it about prehistoric dodo birds in the harsh subterranean wilderness

I don't think I care for harry potter that much I won't go into detail but it just doesn't resonate with me very much I mean it's okay I guess I liked it when I was a kid a little bit but even then I think





It's almost just too old fashioned/traditional and possibly conservative leaning which is why I don't care for it much for one Hogwarts it's kind of an okay idea but of course




it's actually kind of based on a typical old fashioned european school almost and the seeming gothicness throughout the stories is okay but it's too quaint for me in some ways


I think of Dumbledorf and I just think of course he's this really old guy he's not an old mystical sage necessarily he's just a wise old school principle or something and of course despite his age and position he's like always correct and he knows like everything they never go into the concept that the old generation isn't always right sometimes the younger generation has to break off from the older generation

I just feel like Harry Potter is kind of prestigious almost or something



it's considered really "good" but it's kind of in a snobbery way well I just don't think Harry Potter is like how a preferred or idealized future society should be for sure that much I don't know



that's almost what I feel like it is or something


I feel like it's for people who love school or academia or something


I guess maybe the idea is lost on me it's supposed to be a version of school that teaches you all kinds of things that would almost be considered occult or cool or something (forbidden)

it just seems like harry potter is for kids almost and it serves as a add on to elementary school or something like it just feels like they're trying to teach you things in kind of a basic and obvious school kid kind of way and I don't think it's that classical or whimsical and great at doing that either



I look at the hat image here and I think "wow that's almost my kind of thing it's kind of pleasantly gothic enough" but then at the same time something about it just totally robs me the wrong way


and it's the same with this hat guy I read the first book I don't remember his name but I just hate this character


I think the basic premise with Harry Potter is pretty adolescence and kid gloves to me it feels liek coddling almost it doesn't feel big or grand or serious enough the basic idea is that Harry Potter is never truly safe or completely protected from Voldermort he has to learn and come to terms with the fact that their are people out their in the world who might want to harm him and that's the process he goes to coming of age but that's such a simple concept for me this concept spans the whole series of books and it's what he has to come to terms with but it just feels such a kiddie thing to me almost

>>781960
Just because something is made for kids doesn’t make it bad

There’s a lot of entertainment franchises made for adults that miss the point

>>781864
Imageboards love to antagonize young people though

>>781541
Jewish nigger.

>>781881
Where is the word filer when you need it
Obviously I know about it being the nickname for LaSelle

>>781894
Even without the context, it's such a ridiculous thing to say to someone, like saying jews did 9/11 before elders of zion became en vogue again. Marx was obviously cooking with that one and how anyone takes it seriously is beyond me.

>>781860
it's not that they're different in that they're completely special, it's that every type of site is different. twitter creates a different kind of poster compared to a forum, which is different again to an imageboard, which is different again to facebook, or instagram, or tiktok, or youtube. each one of those encourages a different kind of posting. you *can* cheat and upload static images plus greentexts to youtube, but the site makes that much more annoying than doing it here. you can do the same on forums too, but it rarely takes the same format since images attatch differently.

the main good features of imageboards are that you don't have to register an account (tedious, keeps too permanent a log of your behavior and posts + encourages the kind of psychological investment that makes it more likely you go nuts when banned) although you can still use a name if you like (an imageboard where you need a name - but can change it at any time and can't register it - would be fine, anonymity is a bit of a meme), that threads are ephemeral, that they're all on a single page, and that image uploading is made very easy. it's more like a big semi-anonymous IRC/discord. the whole thing mainly thrives on a high PPH and a sort of sense of anarchy that flows from that. once you cross a certain threshold the appeal becomes the opposite, throwing posts out into the void knowing that you're unlikely to get a reply at all. (but /leftypol/ is ill suited to that because the chance is too high that you'll get a bad reply.)

>>781878
Not true
You guys here are sympathizing them.
If someone were to insult a fat woman in public they would be shamed online and even beaten up.

>>781886
lol delusional, normies jerk off to fat karen instant karma vids. i've seen it

>>781889
That’s only if said lady was in the wrong

They celebrate models being treated like shit for being shitty too

>>781886
>beaten up for insulting a fat woman in public
only if her 2 meters black boyfriend was next to her lol

>>781908
You keep joking but again fat women do get social defense

The main problem with anti-civ ideology in my estimation is that it cannot be implemented because there is no collective will to implement it, and if it were, the people implementing it would be committing suicide. Nature is struggle and evolution. Technology and civilization evolved out of nature. They are not purely and simply a negation of nature. If a bird can build a nest an ape can build house, and eventually, a city, surrounded by farms, paying grain tribute to the temple. The productive forces and forms of exploitation develop alongside the advancement of technique, and the game-theoretical logic of the various forms of human struggle run themselves automatically, independent of our individual willpowers, or our desire to negate the logic of competition for scarce resources with increasingly advanced technologies, or our conservative nostalgic desire to RETVRN fundamentally rooted in moralism: A desire to return to a beautiful and uncorrupted state of nature, when people lived short, brutal, lives, died of simple infections, bone fractures, sometimes dying for mistakes as simple as foraging the wrong fruit/vegetable/fungus and dying for it. To wage anti-civilizational struggle is to wage struggle against the very same productive forces we have accumulated which allow us to multiply and specialize. If technology is an arms race, and the people with the superior technologies and numbers of trained troops win struggles most of the time, then it follows that anti-civilizational struggle is the struggle of the weak, unarmed, and numerical minority to not merely disarm the strong, armed, majority, but to destroy those arms so they are never used again. There is no realistic path to do this. It is a fantasy.

Ancient peoples lived under constant and total social surveillance. Not even modern people with all our spyware begin to approach the reality of ancient life. They lived in a tribe that demanded total devotion and without which they would perish. The destruction of that unit was the same process as creation of the family.
Now you know why anarchists are fascist. Fascists wish they could capture a tiny portion of that spirit of ancient man.

>>781869
This.
I especially tire of this kind of romanticism guilt tripping people for growing up with amenities

>>781868
Its amazing to think about that most of Sahara was fertile land during stable holocene epoch around 9000-5000 years ago.

Rich people tend to possess means of production that make them rich, and it should be socially acceptable to overthrow them in a revolution and seize the means of production.

>>781685
This.
Society especially looks down on young people for having struggles

>>781679
Class only reflects your money status not your psyche.

People like to preach about how “money doesn’t buy happiness, material things don’t matter, it’s the heart”

And they’re right for the wrong reason.
People are motivated by their desires
Desires don’t always have to be sex and drugs
It can be love or arts and crafts.

You know something?
Poor people don’t want money.
They want to have their desires met.

There’s people that eschew living in a mansion, preferring to live in tents or RVs.

This is how upper class actually thinks.

Notice how the word 'trait' was being used in this context, a vague attribute that also sometimes applies to innate and immutable features. You are posting in a racist threat, btw.

The purpose of a (ideal) nation state is that geographically and culturally unique and contiguous groups could decide how to run things collectively.
The EU exists to protect or "lock" existing nation states at where they were after the cold war so smaller groups could decide their internal affairs without fear of larger ones.
You're conflating the nation state model with the political influence of capital which erodes it, there is no essential overlap between the two.
