@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”

@pthoman2 @Empty_America they will get into some extremely esoteric interest and/or become trans and find community that way

@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 ?

[v @venus6th]

@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

@BlumenMit transmitting energy into generating something that extends beyond your “self” and potentially outlives your physical form is quite different to bathing in meaningless pleasure, no?

are the mystics we typically admire not the ones who enter the world and share their insights?

[v @venus6th]

@MarysRoommate @kaia_sky then you’re being willfully obtuse and having any further dialogue with you is utterly pointless

if your beliefs are already pre-selected then there’s really no point in you saying them at all

@mknya14 ime i find that women are much less often instantly wowed by a man and have to “work themselves into it,” so to speak

but men for the most part know exactly how they feel about you and what they would want out of the relationship within the first few weeks of knowing you

[v @venus6th]

i have unfortunately already found the love of my life, yet i can’t go back

now every new relationship just feels like a cessation patch

Studying philosophy isn't a good way to gain material wealth. But is it the way to a rich and fulfilling life?

No. But is it at least a path toward greater wisdom and understanding? Also no.

A lot of you haven’t had to dissolve your identity multiple times throughout your life and it shows.

@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

what’s ur point here?

[v @venus6th]

@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

[v @venus6th]

@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

yes, the gov spends good money trying to get us to throw rocks at the only people who could conceivably be our allies. that applies to you too
