@teethmonger@magistercaecus@NiaFrome we have always had a blight of intellectuals and academics that have no connection to the communities they claim to care about.
eventually we have to leave theory behind to connect with people
it’s more worth it than writing the thousandth essay about the “proletariat”
@Opinu@sailaunderscore sexual attraction is deeper than purely physical appearance (which is subjective regardless)
think back to the person in your life you had the best sex with. were they the most conventionally attractive partner you had?
@2179Jason@Bob670689042043@kenlazy2 yes, exactly. janitors certainly have a higher net-positive effect on society compared to stock analysts, do harder work and lead harder lives
someone has to carry the boats, why must you demean the people who do all the work you can’t tolerate ?
@2179Jason@Bob670689042043@kenlazy2 continue to look down on the people that are necessary for the functioning of society but don’t be surprised when it doesn’t function
@funplings just start giving advice on the internet. bonus points if you drop a few quotable lines ironically-funny or that people can put as their instagram bio or

@RayJNorwoodIn07@clemferguson@AnimalBoogie@GoodVibePolitik we all have the same/similar masters but i’m an american. i can speak a lot more confidently and accurately about american society than i can about sweatshop workers in singapore. the people who are reading my english post are also predominantly westerners

@DOfficialRalsei@clemferguson@AnimalBoogie@GoodVibePolitik yea but you haven’t been talking about white supremacists, you’re been talking about white people generally.
there are not as many white supremacists as u think. i’m a black man who grew up in the rural south. i’ve almost certainly met more actual racists than you have
@DOfficialRalsei@clemferguson@AnimalBoogie@GoodVibePolitik u are not really adding anything to the conversation and falling victim to the exact same issue this thread was about in the first place
