  1. Typical collectivist nonsense. Instead of A.I. naturally pushing out therapists due to natural switch in free market demand, you want to use the state to enforce your collectivist will. Because your feelings.
  2. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXUcfODOtdy/?igsh=cjdmNWJya3FrbTU3 Reminds me of a certain forum
  3. Seems like Europe isn't completely lost after all
  4. There might be something to what you're saying. Recently I've started to sense that looking at this issue purely from the POV of "Trump regime is an incompetent idiot, Epstein list, blah blah blah" is pretty reductive and NPCish. There are clearly other factors at play here and US as a country has a certain survival strategy, just like any other country. There's been some evidence and indications that war would've probably happened regardless of whether a Trump or Kamala (or any other democrat) were in office, but wouldn't have been waged in such a blunt and risky way maybe. Biden for example approved Iran bombing operation from the last June, that's one indication
  5. It is the best system we got. By a long shot. And there's never going to be a better alternative. You can argue for a different forms of capitalism that would account for the existence of disabled people, unlucky people, people in poverty, LGBTQ etc. etc. or whatever wokie ideals you're subscribing to, wealth can be capped at some levels and then redistributed to the society. There's a lite form of such a system in Scandinavian countries. But to argue against the capitalism itself is just foolish
  6. Bros got that fuckboi stare on point
  7. But character judgements and attacks are woven into these types of topics. At this point it should be obvious that it's impossible to go without them, maybe you can limit their severity but that's about it
  8. I'd hate to live in some weird matriarchal hivemind, probably would live impoverished as hell. Just based on my observations here, these people have no practical knowledge of anything
  9. This is a very broad and fairly kinder gardenish sketching of this issue but I understand you just needed to vent. Be it as it may - there are several levels to loneliness, some more profound than others. There are different kinds of loneliness as well. The better we're going to have it in the lower stages of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the more emphasized our problems become in the higher stages. There's the kinds of loneliness that are pretty much unsolvable
  10. Pretty sure I can get an objective info about anything I'd ever be intetested in, without needing to go to the university. At this point it's undeniable
  11. Don't really see any official feminist principles but I can agree with the core of it, which is that women should have equality in most areas and should have freedom to do whatever they want. At the same time I'm not gonna pretend like I'm some expert on the topic and there are many different ways to look at it including the one being shared here, a lot of touchy sensitive polarizing subjects for sure, been listening to both the critics and the bootlickers of this ideology. But overall, it is confusing and it's difficult to accept many perspectives a lot of these bootlicking type of people share, also hard to completely accept most, if not all, the critics either. So I'm mostly indifferent/neutral towards it, as long as these people don't lump me in together with some weirdos by a simplistic association and then threat me like some problem to solve. There should be something done against genuine rapists and pedophiles, maybe the punishment for the crimes should be much more severe, I don't know. But you're not gonna talk these people out of it
  12. I wasn't talking about their position. Nowhere did I do that. I'm just highlighting that men will always be suckers from their POV, and as a feminist male, the only way to feel good about yourself is if you shit on other men as well. But it's always just talking and deconstruction, nothing actually tangible. Very low spine, weak bite activity
  13. In my observation, all conservative life strategies seem to work the best long term, whilst "liberal" risky ones are mostly a bunch of turds. Despite all the BS hype of "following your dreams" and to "not regret your life" I only ever saw a more boring conservative way working in a career, investing, exercise, etc. I bet it is the same way for relationships as well
  14. I told yall long ago that these feminists will always view you as suckers. No matter what. Just by engaging with them you are already being a sucker because you are conceding a ridicilous notion that you are somehow responsible for this or partaking in this, even as much as 0,00001%. "Let us convince you why you are a sucker and a bad person despite the fact that nothing obviously tangible can be done about this and you are not responsible for this at all, in order for us to feel morally superior over you"
  15. You're fairly on point with most of these tbh. I always wondered though whether scepticism about shampoos ia warranted or not. Shouldn't be, but who knows. Soap should probably be alright, but it is a very inneficient and tedious way to wash oneself. Unless you're using a liquid soap in which case, what's the difference?
  16. I wouldn't personally lump in capitalism into that triad; capitalism led to a lot of positive material outcomes for the mankind such as increased life expectancy, scientific and industrial revolution, and higher living standards for the entire humanity in general. Capitalism is the kind of system that's emotionally unbiased and neutral, and it's form highly depends on the society, culture and individuals operating within it. But regarding white supremacy + patriarchy you are correct in describing all colonial + post-colonial era exploitative European + US behaviour. Doesn't really exactly describe the past further than that, or outside of this narrow historical space-time window tho. I think what @Breakingthewall might have aluded to with his response to you, is that there are other cultures and "races" who have behaved (and are still somewhat behaving) in a very similiar, cruel way towards women and people in general. Other cultures waged imperial wars, had large empires, etc. I mean, how many central Asian tribes swept across Asia and Europe, destroying any settlement in their way. What about the past muslim imperialism (or the way their society is still structured now), what about the attrocious behaviour of American native tribes? The gist of what I'm trying to convey here is that this intelectual framework only focuses on criticizing and deconstructing the kind of systems and people who are available to listen to these vents. You don't see a whole ton of these intelectuals in Afghanistan, for example. And it is the same way with this topic right here, essentially, 60 million men globally (assumming this number is correct) were involved in something heinous and unjustifiable, yes, we can see that and agree with that. And yes, we can safely assume that each of us dudes in here were programmed or pushed to some extent with a certain domination mindset that can be considered toxic in general, or in some circumstances (excluding the role of biology here). However, the irony of venting to us in particuliar, about the behaviour of some 60 million weirdos does not escape me, as well as thinking that you can erase existence of these crimes throught some theoretical intelectual deconstruction. And also asumming that we are somehow responsible for something 60 million weirdos globally were involved in. If you are so enraged, why don't you go punch each of those dudes in the face or something? What can be done other than prosecuting these dudes and putting those who acted illegally and immorally to jail or something?
  17. That's not gonna happen, Iran wouldn't be the one sending nukes or escalating anything first. The escalation history between the Iran and the West is clear, and it clearly makes the West look like the villain, not Iran. North Korea also never sent any of it's nukes, despite Americans making a cringy action movie of how a North Korean invasion may look like. Despite all this analysis, US is still the only country who actually used nukes in combat, isn't that interesting. I would say Israel is the one who needs to chill the fuck out the most. There needs to be a pressure from the entire world to make Israel stop and maybe even change it's goverment, then make a ceasefire with Iran. There must peace!
  18. It is ovER for golddiggermaxxers. Especially in this economy
  19. This guy's actions are trully just all over the place. Does a bunch of despicable, horrible shit, and then some random "Oh wait, while we're at it, let me make this one substance legal"
  20. 🤣 dogcels would surely be getting mogged into oblivion when compared to how cat owners think of cats
  21. A sense of purpose, or the sense that you are contributing value to other people, does override lonelines. I get such a good feeling when I objectively know that I contributed to something worthy, that the good feelings from it can last for the rest of that day. It's actually pretty decent ROI from a completely selfish point of view in terms of mental health. Girlfriend is not even that important, who cares. But volunteering would be lowkey underrated if it was more common and available, but it's not so much really. Also not that easy to make yourself usefull to society, society seems to need us less and less as time progresses. Maybe once all the jobs dissapear people will just start going out for no reason whatsoever cause they'll be so bored, and create problems out of thin air that they'll be able to volunteer for
  22. I ranked every ginger's soul on Earth:
  23. Ok I'm taking the bait. Btw I'm talking about communism as it always manifested itself in reality, not the way Marx theorized it. So for me, socialism and communism is the same shit and system without hierarchy is impossible. Since you dissagree with this premise and can't "gotcha" me anymore with "you don't understand communism bro", then you might as well skip over the rest of this post. It could "work" technically, but it'd be pretty shit compared to a functioning capitalistic system. By those standards, any system could "work". State would basically own the means of production and there's this delusion that state is more able to represent the will of the common people and cares about their wellbeing more than the free market. It's the same kind of idea some anti democracy people use with a similiar concept of this "benevolent dicator", this would basically be the benevolent goverment in the case of communism. Capitalism basically democratises means of production and your ability to choose as a consumer. Of course there are people who rise to the top as is the case with any system that ever existed
  24. They shouldn't calculate the difference as an average aggregates of incomes that all men make vs the aggregates of incomes that all women within that company make. If they calculate it correctly and take all the factors you've mentioned into consideration plus couple of others, and there's still unjustified difference that dissadvantages women or a particuliar individual women, then by all means that should be fixed. But since this gender pay gap thing has always been massively overblown and most companies pay men and women exactly the same amounts (it's against the law to do otherwise), there won't be too much to fix, if we assume there's some rigour and good intentions being mantained while making this law. Which I doubt there is. But also, who cares really
  25. But capitalism would work even better if all people involved were "100% self-responsible", capitalism is simply always high tier than socialist or communist equivalent of such system could ever be.
