Look i love guns as much as the next person but sometimes i feel like we’re pointing in the direction of either major reform or outright banning them. And theres no way to cure a mental health crisis or poverty not without money some people arent willing to pay owning guns should be a right people retain till the end of time but its hard to think about it feeling like sometimes your in the wrong

>And theres no way to cure a mental health crisis or poverty not without money some people arent willing to pay owning guns should be a right people retain till the end of time but its hard to think about it feeling like sometimes your in the wrong
Run-on sentence

Also yeah I see guns as a time-wasting toggle issue. Like liberal politicians can set up hype for conservative politicians by banning it, then conservative politicians can set up hype for liberal politicians by being too lax with it. For much dumber reasons, so too is abortion.


So what if some schizo kills himself or his family or a bunch of random people? Under no circumstance can the means to overthrow the state be stripped from the proletariat, not even under a DOTP, you’re being sentimental if you disagree

That doesn't mean you need to have handguns sold in walmart tho, you can have easy but gated access, it works much better to stop mass shooting and yet people stay armed

>Look i love guns as much as the next person but sometimes i feel like we’re pointing in the direction of either major reform or outright banning them.

it's not going to happen. there are approximately 500 million civilian-owned firearms in the united states, about 55% of which are handguns and about 15% are semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, i.e. the kinds of weapons that are banned outright in countries like the uk or australia, so about 350 million guns would have to be bought back by the government and the administrative overheads of doing this in a country as big and spread out as the united states would be enormous, potentially costing the government upwards of $10,000 per gun. it would cost trillions of dollars to do such a thing in the us, and that's not even to mention the widespread public outrage and civil unrest that would certainly result, or the fact that firearm manufacturers and sporting goods retailers are major multi-billion dollar industries in the united states with tremendous lobbying power by way of the nra and its legions of devoted followers. it will be a winter wonderland in the deepest reaches of hell before firearms are banned in the united states.

Materialism does not have a concept of cowardice. That's a spook. At scale, you and everyone else that has and will immigrate to china are doing what is materially necessary.

Why do some people seem to believe that everyone is innately bisexual? I've seen this claim every now and then online, and apparently some prominent bisexuals (e.g. Gore Vidal, Billie Joe Armstrong) believe(d) it. I've even heard it twice IRL; the second time, a lesbian acquaintance of mine said something along the lines of "I'm gay enough that I know straight people aren't lying about being straight", which I concurred with in my head (although I said nothing). Personally, I'm a gay guy, or at least that's what I call myself, but there have been a few rare instances where I briefly wondered whether I actually am attracted to women, only minimally and/or while repressing it, and although I have always ultimately concluded that I am just gay, it does make me think about the idea that everyone is actually just at some point or another on a spectrum of bisexuality. That being said, it still seems highly improbable to me. What are your thoughts?

>Why do some people seem to believe that everyone is innately bisexual?

Wrong question. The correct question wouldbe: why do bisexuals, especially repressing ones, so often engage in sexual solipcism, i. e. the projection of their entire sexuality onto all of humanity when they are part of a sexual minority that should know better.

>>10732
Because empathy is an imperfect ability and picturing other people's mental process will always come with biases from your own experience.

>>10733

This is not empathy, this is narcissism. You are not picturing others, you are literally projecting yourself onto them. The question is why is this behavior so common among bisexuals who should know better because after all they themselves should be, as a sexual minority in a heteronormative society, have at least some experience with having another sexual orientation, the dominante one, projected onto them.

Certain queer people huff copium that secretly they're the actual dominant sexuality and three quarters of population just don't realise it.

>>10723

Why does it seem like so many leftists support Michael Jackson to the point where they make defending him from all his abuse allegations a political issue?

I've seen this a lot recently, with the new MJ biopic out as well as all the new allegations of abuse from the Cascio family and also a new Leaving Neverland documentary. In spite of the left staunchly holding on to #metoo and the fact abuse survivors/victims need to be believed and supported, the same isn't true with the multiple people who have accused MJ of CSA and grooming. The Epstein case has made discussions of pedophilia, CSA, and power imbalances in relationships mainstream. People are even going so far as to debate whether or not the Age of Consent should be raised to 21 in order to shield 18-year olds from predatory 30-year olds. Yet, if you bring up the fact MJ engaged in such things, you're denounced as a right-winger or reactionary (or even a racist).

Perhaps the most bizarre claims I've heard is that MJ was pro-Palestine and (allegedly) wrote a song about Palestine, Israel knew this so Mossad planted the CSA allegations against him in order to ruin him before the song could be recorded. There's no evidence of this, and MJ actually travelled to Israel and met with the IOF about a month after the Chandlers made the allegations known. I've also heard the conspiracy that MJ was protecting kids from the "real predators" in Hollywood and was saving kids from being trafficked to Epstein Island. That claim is easily debunked once you realize Epstein didn't buy his infamous island until 1998, and MJ was already taking in kids long before that.

And let's be honest: even if MJ did nothing criminal with the boys he surrounded himself with, his behaviours with them was still NOT appropriate. A grown man in his 30s and 40s should never, ever be having sleepovers with 8,9, and 10-year olds, much less sharing a bed with them. Plus, all of the stories his accusers tell fit perfectly with the model of grooming: MJ would dazzle the parents of these kids and buy them lots of expensive items, the parents would let their guards down and allow him to do what he pleased with their children, then MJ would have almost romantic-like relations with these kids. In no possible world would that ever be acceptable for a grown man to do.

So what gives? Why do so many comrades still defend MJ so viciously?

He’s a pedo. No questions asked.

>Why does it seem like so many leftists support Michael Jackson
I swear you fags just make shit up as an excuse to be angry at leftists

He was an awful human being made worse by everything that ever happened to him that he then inflicted on others, it’s a cliché story in pretty much every social class. He just also happened to be a musical genius on the level of the Beatles (multiple time Paul collaborator) and give us On The Wall, Thriller, and Bad. These things aren’t mutually exclusive.

he stole a lot of things from lesser known artists and never gave any credit. but then again that's most famous artists, they aren't really "geniuses", they just happen to be the figurehead for an industrial level of effort coming from multiple different artists, which makes them seem way more talented than they really are

parasocial idolatry and hero worship are unhealthy and are a recipe for cognitive dissonance. people elevate human beings into gods who can do no wrong and then when their false gods inevitably reveal themselves to be nothing more than flawed fallible human beings, sometimes in the most outrageous and reprehensible ways imaginable, the idolator cannot reconcile the two conflicting perceptions and so their mind cracks and splits in two. they might go into denial and reject the part of themselves that sees the reality to embrace the part of themselves that still wants to worship and love their hero and continue worshipping them as if nothing happened, they might interpret it as a personal betrayal and reject the part of themselves that once idolized their hero and embrace the part of themselves that is filled with resentment and pain at the betrayal and decide to go stalk and kill the person a la mark david chapman. the rational sane perspective is that he was just a guy who recorded and performed some popular music in the 80s and then later turned out to be a child molester and that as a fan or a listener you never had any genuine two-way human relationship with him and he never knew you or cared about you and you never really knew him or cared about him either, you just enjoyed the songs he recorded and the stage persona he portrayed and that's as far as it goes.

Sowwy jannies, I just need to vent.

My theymab older brother always gets away with it and I'm honestly shocked. You think one of his transgressions would catch up to him but no. First he sexually assaults me countless times over 2 years, then tries to do it to my sister (and fails from what I know), then he convinces my parents to deny me hrt when I was a minor and then finally he attempts to molest the sister of one of his childhood friends. *Also, he probably grooms repressing trans men into not transitioning (from what I know). All of this is typical rapist cishet male behaviour, but done under the veneer of being "nonbinary" and "queer".

When it comes to how often he raped me, I dont know the true number as it was simply that many "sessions", but I can give an estimate. If we say that it was weekly and there are about 50 weeks in a year, then it would amount to 50 times a year; we then double it to account for two years between the ages of 5 and 7 for a final value of 100 times. Now this is a very conservative estimate, if we say biweekly, then it would ammount to 100 times per year for a total value of 200 times. A close estimate is probably far less conservative than these values, its probably close to 400 - 600 times, as it was usually every other day, with several rapes happening in a single day. For more anecdotal and less rigorous evidence of his crimes; he would usually say very rapey things while raping me, a couple I remember are: "you know you want it" and "when we are old men in our 40s we will laugh at this", these lines often will ring through my head at my worst moments.

Now when he tried to do it to my sister, my sister eventually reported it, well the best a 5 year old child could report it. My sister was most likely spared from his crimes as she had a separate room and was also a cis girl (typically my parents really only care about rape or violence or threats of it when it comes to her but not to me).
When my parents learned of this when I was 7, they shamed me and removed my brother of all guilt, letting him off the hook. He stopped raping me, started to be my "friend" and I was supposed to never talk about it ever again. Eventually after living with him in the same house for another decade I simply broke and couldnt take it anymore; I reported it to my parents. My parents seemed to have completely forgetten what happened, they separated me but not him from the rest of the family. I went to live with mPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

I think chaos really sucks and I don't like the "oh, that thing you were doing? It was a chaos plan all along" thing that keeps fucking happening. Like, I was excited in SM2 to be fighting the tyranids, and was really disappointed that they were just a splinter fleet/opening act for chaos shit heads AGAIN.

Sorry if you love CSM, but imo they're losers, and after 10,000 years of being losers I think it's stupid and shitty that they're treated like a real threat, and I'm sick of seeing them.

Don't worry, judging by previous entries in the series Total Warhammer40k is going to drip feed every other faction into the game as DLC.

Dawn of War 4 on the other hand is much more shaky on whether it will eventually have all the factions. It's being made by the devs of Iron Harvest and if you don't know anything about Iron Harvest basically it was a kickstarter RTS that was extremely disappointing and quickly abandoned after like 2 DLCs so I'm not expecting much from those devs. I expect DOW4 to get 1 year of post-launch support before development stops and I would strongly encourage all fans to stay away from Dawn of War 4 based solely off the track record of the dev team since it's not the same team that did DOW 1 and 2.

The Total Warhammer guys on the other hand love milking players with DLC so it's pretty much guaranteed that Chaos, Tau, Tyranids, and everyone else is eventually coming to TW40k the only question is in what order and how long it will take before all the DLC has been added.

I don't think it's healthy to be bara in the long run, since a strongfat physique could become regular fat really quick with age or neglect of your exercise routine. Personally I'm just shooting for a middle ground where I'm noticeably muscular, beefier than a cute dude with abs, but not quite bara. Idk if that has a name, maybe like an dad bod deluxe? That's probably the easiest body type to get if you're natty and sticking to a good routine and moderate diet.

Worf is a really interesting character. He's a Klingon that knows nothing about Klingons except what he learns through the lens of the federation. So on the one hand, he learns all the rules to being a klingon, but none of the exceptions to the rules, and he ends up becoming the most Klingon Klingon.

What I mean is his main narrative arc in TNG involves him colliding head on with the contradictions of Klingon society. He's internalized a rigid, highly inflexible code of honor that other Klingons kind of respect but also find pretty bewildering. He's willing to take discommendation in service of the empire when it's strongly implied that no other Klingon would be willing to. At the same thing, it's recognized that this honorable act is in service of covering up another house's dishonor. Eventually it all leads to a civil war, which instead of purifying the empire only solidifies these contradictions, which Worf also finds incomprehensible, as highlighted by the scene when he's in a bar with his brother Kern, whose busy drinking with warriors from the enemy faction.

It's also pretty interesting how Worf ends up becoming what is probably the most important Klingon of the century. He participates and ends up deciding two separate succession crises by killing corrupt chancellors and even restores the office of the emperor, before putting his own adoptive house in the position of the chancellorship.

It's a shame that none of this was really followed up on post ds9. Worf single handedly positioned himself to rejuvenate the dying Klingon empire, and all that was killed in its crib by the tng movies and abramslop.

If you want to understand why certain products are constantly shilled in the "privacy community," you need to know Grapheneos' financial ties. The principle is quite simple: everyone listens to what Grapheneos has to say; Grapheneos is the ultimate authority in the privacy community. If Grapheneos says, "Mullvad is the best VPN," then this wisdom is regurgitated by everyone, whether on Reddit, X, 4chan, YouTube, etc. But why does Grapheneos recommend certain products/companies? Because they are sponsored by certain companies, meaning they are financially dependent on them.

Last week an English terf grifter made an "expose" on how more people were getting surgeries on the WGS than in England. This got shared on Welsh nationally funded news. Due to this, along with whining from tories, NHS Wales has cancelled every single surgery including ones only hours away from happening. Basically trans people in Wales have had their healthcare stripped from them by some angloid whiners.

that is what should happen. if a decision is reached centrally, after an appropriate democratic process, then you are to obey it. like all aspects of production, it is ultimately up to the center to decide whether to slacken the leash or to tighten it. your health is a political question. the main issue here is that the UK is a bourgeois state

  • Corners: Watch your 90 degree corners.
  • Cover: The sky is the enemy. The more material between you and the sky, the better.
  • Retreat: Do not investigate the dead or search for bodies, lest you be struck in the double tap or triple tap strike.
  • Scatter: Crowds are bad. Be spread out.
  • Self Control: If you heard it, it was not meant for you. Therefore retreat and don't move. Turn phone to airplane mode to make them think all radios (hence people) are dead.
  • Digging: If you try digging people out of the structures, I lack any knowledge on how to do that, but you can and people do. Maybe you will need powered equipment or vehicles in order to do that.
  • Hard Kill: Active interception is unlikely and deeply illegal.
  • Soft Kill: Radio Jamming of large 20ft aerial drones is not only illegal but also not technically feasible as directional antennas are aimed from the 10KM high drone to the satellite in the sky.
  • Synthetic Aperture Radar means you can't hide during the fog or the storms as it can still see the ground.

real life isn't like hitscan video games where shooting something at a much higher elevation than you is the same as shooting something at ground level. you aim a gun at a high angle to try to hit some object that is 500-1000 feet above you, your gunsights/optics and all of your instincts and reckonings about distance and bullet drop and wind drift and leading the target become useless because you have no common ground reference to gauge distance and the geometry of the bullet arc becomes counterintuitive and wind speed increases significantly with altitude and in the case of aircraft the target is also probably moving really fucking fast and you have no sense of its speed or distance because it's in the sky and there's nothing around it that can be a useful frame of reference. there is a reason why the military had to invent special guns specifically designed for ground-to-air combat and why they were just dumb brute force fragmentation weapons designed to simply blanket the sky with tons of flying metal and shit hoping to hit something.

This is why people in Ukraine carry buckshot, its either a shotgun or spray and pray with tracers

even the us and other high-tech military nations don't really know how to defend against drone attacks and are actively trying to figure out solutions. it's sort of led to a resurgence of interest in directed energy weapons research, particularly laser and microwave weapons. a very small very fast flying object is practically invulnerable to ballistic weapons, like trying to shoot a bullet with a bullet as the saying goes. hitting it with a laser beam or microwave pulse is a lot more feasible but reflective coatings and shielding could make the drones resistant to those kinds of weapons as well.

I heavily recommend using u-he plugins if you don't care about using proprietary software, especially the new Zebra3 (a CPU hog but sounds sublime and insanely versatile), Repro-1 and 5 (Prophet-5 and Pro-One emulations) and Uhbik2 (great suite of effects).
A lot of people swear by Diva, and Bazille is also pretty interesting if you are into weird modular sounds.

TAL also make good plugins with Linux native versions. Haven't tried AudioDamage stuff, but I've heard it's good too.

Otherwise, with yabridge, ValhallaDSP plugins run perfectly for reverb and delay. I had good experiences with the FabFilter suite in the past too. Native Instruments stuff generally works okay. Lightweight plugins from small companies that don't use iLok kind of shit DRM tend to work pretty well too, like Madrona Labs' Aalto or AberrantDSP SketchCassette II and Digitalis.
However, I had no luck with Serum 2 and Lexicon plugins, but I can do without them.

The only thing that sucks is that yabridge hasn't been updated in a long while, and it has a mouse cursor glitch with the latest versions of wine-staging, but it works fine with the normal version in Mint's repos. Let's hope they eventually fix this problem, but so far, I think there is everything needed to make great sounding tracks on Linux.
No Ableton Live and Max For Live sadly (there is Bitwig and PlugData tho), and tinkering and random bugs can be pretty annoying sometimes, but I think there is something really satisfying about having an audio setup working fine on Linux. It used to be much more complicated and restrictive 10 or 15 years ago.

Good article series on synthesis: https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/whats-sound
>>33831
Ah, good shout. Need to toss some money their way, probably for Uhbik 2.

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/lv2/
the packages that require lv2 list is a nice catalog of arch linux plugin packages
i recommend calf, distrho-ports, x42-plugins, and eq10q

You're always gonna suffer if you're trying to replicate professional audio workflows on linux. For basic MIDI sequencing and recording (muh real hardware synths autism) I use Muse because sequencing on Ardour used to suck even more. Made a lot more tracker music (mostly 4 channel mods in milkytracker, some in schism). I want to try out Radium, it's a tracker inspired DAW that's free if you build from source. Total spaghetti clusterfuck shitshow codebase with a bundled python2.

>>34382
Not much suffering since Pipewire came out. And even before then, JACK was probably alright. And I'm fine with the smaller plugin ecosystem, especially since my favourite synth, Vital, is Linux native anyways.
>because sequencing on Ardour used to suck even more
For me, it's alright since I found out how to open the piano roll window. Still a little awkward workflow wise, but eh. https://manual.ardour.org/working-with-midi/pianoroll-window/

I'm only three years late to this post so allow me to shed some timely light because I thought this was an interesting question that I'm somewhat prepared to give an answer to. The more complex answer than just "psychedelics" is that 50s-70s comics artists were part of a much broader cultural shift that involved modernist art trends seeping into popular culture. Artists who reached their artistic maturation in this period were studying art in a world where cubism, futurism, abstractionism, etc. were no longer controversial new waves but well-established languages, and the new guys weren't just going on to become gallery painters but a lot of them became designers, commercial illustrators, etc. And then pop art did a lot to accelerate this shift. Those guys weren't necessarily the ones who became comic artists, but they helped diffuse these ideas into the mainstream. And this was also happening at a time where nuclear physics, computers, SETI, the space race, etc. created a real "wonders of science" zeitgeist that also begged for new ways to visualize it in a way that properly conveyed its power, strangeness and excitement. I think this is what makes Kirby a truly epochal artist: he more than the writers he worked with turned superhero comics into a reflection of this zeitgeist.
I'll also note that comic artists have always been on the lookout for formal ways to communicate movement and power on the page instead of just drawing things as they would "seem". For a long time this was the influence of cinema, and before that it was Art Nouveau. So the necessary pull towards "weird" non-literal visually challenging art was always part of the medium.
All of this harmonizes very well with psychedelic culture and in Ditko's case there's the explicit influence of mysticism and such as well, but it's more of a shared heritage that was affecting everything, rather than direct influence of LSD. This is why the intuition that something must have been "in the water" was partly correct and the answers saying "they just imagined it duh" are kind of misleading. But I don't think any of the important 60s Marvel artists took psychedelics or cared about counterculture. Stan did later make an infamous attempt to cash in on underground comix, and the people who came after were a lot more hip to new trends and probably brought in some deliberate influence from psyPost too long.

I'm so tired of it all. Everyone believing the lies. Everyone legislating our torture. Everyone celebrating our oppression. Everyone pretending they're justified. All the money, all the technology, all the grifting, all just to hurt me and the handful of my kind. I just want to give up and cry.

I know that's what they want. They want us to hate humanity so they can justify branding us as terrorists. They want to push us into a corner where the whole world is against us, and our only choice is to fight back, so they can use that retaliation to manufacture consent for our eradication. It's the exact same playbook they've been using against the people of Palestine.

But even as horrible as things are for them, at least they have people fighting for them. The powerful stomp them into dust, but there's a dim light at the end of their tunnel of thorns. Journalists risk their lives to spread awareness, citizens risk arrest for speaking out. They have real allies in this fight, a frayed thread to cling to. We have no flickering light of hope, we have only ourselves.

People might feign support in passing, but anything more than empty platitudes is asking too much. Nobody wants to make even minor sacrifices for us. Nobody wants to spread empathy or awareness for us. Everyone is all too happy to let us sink to second-class citizens. Everyone is all to happy to publicly dehumanize us without so much as flinching. Nobody knows we're 10 times more likely to be murdered. Nobody knows there's state-mandated conversion therapy and human experiments. Nobody even knows what V-coding is. When they start marching us into the ovens, will anyone even know? Will anyone even care?

How can I cope? How can I not become jaded? I don't want to hate the human race, but anything less feels like letting myself be in an abusive relationship. I'm so tired.

QUESTION FOR PSYCHONAUTS:
what do you think about the nature of reality? Do you believe your high brain when it shows you that reality is all recursive and infinitely complex and multiversal and with supernatural powerful entities and shit?
Or do you still believe that this is the only universe and timeline and that supernatural powerful entities don't actually exist?

Not all questions can be answered with language but I will try. When you see me use scare quotes I am not saying the concept is fake, more like I don't have enough spacetime or energymatter to properly deconstruct it.

"Supernatural" entities? On a normal day when my brain is running in its "materialist/survival" mode I don't really "believe" in supernatural entities. Everything is natural, from sunspots to ladybugs. Even a factory spewing out smoke or a synthetic chemical made in a lab is made of stuff taken from the Earth. A log cabin isn't that much different from a bird's nest except in scope and level of organization.

But if everything is "natural" then "natural" loses its meaning, since nothing in particular is "unnatural." Words get their meaning from contrast.

I don't necessarily believe in Gods, ghosts, spirits, etc. as they are popularly conceived. I think consciousness is a fleeting phenomenon caused by matter and energy being arranged into formations that result in memory formation and stimulus response. A memory physically isn't that much different from a sunburn or a cut. Matter contains records of past events through its own accumulation of changes. Information is physical, and so is memory and thought. Moving on.

Multiverse? Well it always seemed arbitrary to me that there would be only one universe, only one big bang, only one arbitrary set of physical laws. Outside of our universe is just an endless void? Or more properly nothing at all since not even empty space could exist beyond the universe, since space itself is all contained in the universe? Seems incomplete. For "everything" to be complete it would need to contain all possibilities, including all possible universes, with all possible timelines, sets of physical laws, etc. So "everything" would necessarily contain things that both do and do not happen in this universe. But this sounds like idealism. Just because I can conceive of everything containing that, doesn't mean it does. But if there isn't everything, and there is only something, then that is arbitrary. Why would only some things exist and not others? Seems asymmetrical. To me, everything blossoms from nothing as a set of endless possibilities. Just like space is the set of all coordinates, everything is the set of all possibilities. 3d space is length, width, height. If the 4th dimension is time, why wouldn't the 5th be possibility? why wouldn't all out comes be arranged in a higher diPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I shall supplant that doddering fool
In wintrous depths of hell but with a whisper,
And tear upon heaven to let storms rain,
That Lucifer the pacifist may look to fear
From eye to eye his unequal'd reflection -
And all inferno writhe beneath the
Humiliation of his wrath

So wear the crown'd dunce his cap,
And by his keep learn in the schooling
Of his error yet undiscovered misery
Of new kinds of suffering, the infernal
Torment of his stupidity

Slow runneth the course of time
Which in this our hour of fall
Leaves little but dread decay.
The youth decry its passage
Whilst infirm age meets it
With well seasoned glee.
Is this our purpose?
This our fate?
That the old shall wither
And by kin youth create?

no, sometimes it's nice to listen to someone talk about something boring. like that popular guy who makes videos about the infrastructure in open world games. is this a subject anyone actually particularly cares about? would you think it's riveting conversation if one of your friends started talking to you about night city's power grid? no, but that's not the point.
also, if the interest is in the subject and not the form, why not listen to someone who actually knows their shit instead of random online fucks? you could download an audiobook of a single good classic on criticism or aesthetics and become way more educated about media than you would from every video essay you've ever watched.

>they're just a really basic, streamlined form of entertainment that asks nothing of the viewer

i don't understand people's sense of self-importance these days. on one hand they think that watching a movie or an episode of a tv show is way too much to ask of them, like as if they are the president of the world bank or something and their time is just far too valuable to risk wasting on such a risky endeavor, but they also think that listening to someone bloviate about a movie or tv show on a youtube video for an hour while they play videogames is a worthwhile use of their time.

something tells me it's not really about the movie or the tv show asking too much of the viewer, it's more about the viewer having some extremely compulsive consumptive habits that they can't abide deviating from. it's like a heroin addict not being able to watch a long movie in a theater because it asks too much of him, he can't sit in a theater for 3 hours without shitting his pants or throwing up or running off to the restroom to get high and then nodding off and missing the rest of the movie.

>>1631
>Okay, but what about loosh farm?
That's the purpose of life, and suffering which is non-consensual and chaotic loosh is the cheapest but not the only form of loosh to produce. Humans surrender to vices and that means you have to defeat and keep all 7 sins at bay to prevent suffering from being hand waved away as necessary to the economy because of popular convenience. If some aristocrats get blackmailed, how do you suppose you would save them from that if you're a rabid Marxist? It would save you both the trouble of suffering.

>If the elite just wanted money and power, they would simply turn the entire world into a gulag.

That's not cheap at all.

>Instead, we have relative freedom, much of which is used to provoke negative emotions and pit people against each other.

The desire to create non-consensual loosh in each other, right? You deserve it because suffering doesn't offend you in itself. It's useful to you to shame and control others so it has economic value.

>>1632
>That's the purpose of life
Marx/Engels said that all history is the exploitation of one class by another, but surely this must end someday and communism must come?
>and suffering which is non-consensual and chaotic loosh is the cheapest but not the only form of loosh to produce.
Perhaps, especially considering the origins of the term, but I'm simply using loosh as a translation of the Russian word гаввах, meaning that as I see it, the elite only cares about the energy of suffering, and they don't really want to make people happy. Moreover, they're currently testing the waters to see how much they can torture humanity before it starts dying.
>Humans surrender to vices and that means you have to defeat and keep all 7 sins at bay to prevent suffering from being hand waved away as necessary to the economy because of popular convenience.
I don’t get it, are you saying that people are to blame for their suffering because they don’t perform bnei noach?
>If some aristocrats get blackmailed, how do you suppose you would save them from that if you're a rabid Marxist? It would save you both the trouble of suffering.
Why should I save them? Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.
>That's not cheap at all.
North Korea, Stalin's USSR, Hitler's Germany. All of these have been tried and succeeded, but even North Korea, the last bastion of totalitarianism, is beginning to implement democratic reforms and grant its citizens increasing freedoms.
>The desire to create non-consensual loosh in each other, right?
Duh
>You deserve it because suffering doesn't offend you in itself. It's useful to you to shame and control others so it has economic value.
