A thread focused on discussing the parasocial relationships cultivated by the Almighty Algorithm to generate profit off of our atomization and society's commodification of petty internet drama.
Brace through the hyper-real lacanian void together!

Reminder That None of This Is Real!

Read Engels and stop jerking it and simping for OF prostitutes motherfucker

>>2582179
Leftcoms aren't wrong on most things actually. It's not like MLs and other sects don't have their own lolcows

>>2581841
So why is known Imperialist Dog Hasan Piker not helping in funding against the lawsuit?

>>2582309
I read Engels and disagreed.
I'm also not jerking off to OF whores unless I pirate their content, because again I'm not married.
>>2582292
Don't be stupid enough to get married is also one of my points, I also support cheating from a womans perspective since it's less damaging that how they already date.

>>2582189
Why are people shitting on you when you're mostly correct lol

>>2582189
Oh fuck off, as soon as retarded mls get in charge of any space it goes to shit. Turning even the tiniest of places into their personal dictatorship of dogma.
No one remember the time original leftypol/leftpol split?

>>2582315
>Disagree with Engels
>Pirate pornography
Ok coomer

>>2582320
No fap never goon red fashoid spotted.
Prepare for orbital obliteration and immediate destruction.

>>2582315
>cheating is less damaging than divorce
<infidelity in secret is less damaging than openly admitting your sins
please don't
however i completely support not marrying if you can't control your novelty-seeking and prefer to sleep around

>>2582177
Anon simply said that if you educate yourself you're less likely to get groomed by meme cults and misanthropes. Where's the absurd in this statement you moron.

>>2582325
Romance is a idealist bourgeoisie notion that fails in the real world, if you are for abolishing capitalism instead of addressing its problems individually why are you mad I don't care for the problems of individual romance and am for the abolishment as a whole?

>>2582328
>implying the bourgeois aren't sleeping around
have you ever heard of high profile escorts

>>2582319
You can avoid this problem by adopting the correct theory (ML)

>>2582331
Idealism and utopian notions are called that for a reason anon, even the people who espouse them cannot attain them, which is especially why they need to abolished.

>>2582328
>don't care for the problems of individual romance and am for the abolishment as a whole
<supports cheating in secret in order to keep an individual marriage
that's not how you do marriage abolition
>>2582338
i agree, that post in particular was misguided on my part tbh

>>2582339
I don't particularly care for whether or not some e whore gets paid millions a day to talk with men who are emotionally broken because they got married is my point, the only people offended by that stuff are people who haven't fully accepted the futility of things if they don't do away with all of it to begin, they're the type to go "I hate hate hate how some random lazy deadbeat in a better position can make more money than me but I would never EVER advocate for destroying capitalism."

>>2582342
i don't particularly care if a woman gets paid for OF either but
>muh ""emotionally broken"" husband is the actual victim
here's where i wholeheartedly disagree

>>2582343
How is it any different from the bourgeoisie being victims in their own system like Marx and Engels say? They were conned into it and had to cope with their awful decision?

>>2582344
>They were conned into it and had to cope with their awful decision
well too bad ¯\(°_o)/¯ what's your point with that particular comparison though? that we should have sympathy for either the bourgeois or the "emotionally broken" cheaters?

>>2582348
No that people can be brought up to do stupid things systemically.

>>2582350
i don't disagree, and i have zero sympathy for either the porkoids nor the cheaters, even if the system that benefits them can hurt them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>2582068
I heard the Alice in Wonderland musical she'll be starring in will feature Soviet Songs exclusively

>>2581676
Inceldom produces bizarre creatures. They each create an individual fortress of delusions that requires them to ultimately totally abandon their identity, commit suicide, or be miserable for life. There is no other option for them.

Incels should accept that some people are "doomed".

>>2582363
Bourgeoisie mental gymnastics

>>2582344
It’s fairly simple to either exit or open a marriage. This is 2025.

It’s evident people don’t generally regret marriage, because divorce usually results in marriage again. Many times. If people really didn’t like marriage they wouldn’t just do it repeatedly. The fact is most men like women and enjoy marriage.

>>2582363
They do, they believe they are the doomed ones.

Behold! The Invarian Marxist Line regarding love.


>>2582370
Mods, ban this soyshit NOW!

>>2582366
Do women enjoy marriage?

>>2582369
>Love
Woke idealist nonsense

>>2582374
It is fine to be loveless like you. Individuals are not equal. Not all individuals have the same capacity to love. Accept yourself as someone who is incapable of love.

>>2582379 (me)
Incels are just people who are not capable of love. They are seeking partners because they are taught so by society with its egalitarianism. They are doing it, that is, seeking partners without understanding why. They dont understand because they dont have the capacity for love.

>>2582379
>>2582384
I've accepted it, now we need to dismantle love in society as a whole to prevent these issues further as more people become incels.

>>2582389
>love
It's just obsession and obligation.

>>2582373
Do they marry? If so then yes.

Of course there is the constituency of young republicans and trad wives who are totally larping some old concept of marriage. But these guys are going to fail because the young guys are groyper fascists who don’t see or understand women and the women are not actually willing to have their identities subsumed and destroyed as the trad lifestyle requires. Unless they are Mormon.

But most people marry for their own reasons.

>>2582393
>can smoke inside
Wtf I love amerikkka now

>>2582393
What AI slop is this

>>2582396
It is, hormones and animal signals confused for higher emotion based off racist Darwinian notions.

We don't get enough Luigis for this world.

>>2582404
>Luigis
As in men who murder over botched circumcision?

>>2582404
>>2582396
Call it whatever you want. Not all individuals have the same capacity for it.

I hope it’s just one anon and we don’t really have two incel retards in this thread telling each other “exaaaactly”


>>2582411
Wrong again idiot, you just don't understand Chad to Chad communication.
