As patriarchy is a part of a fractal Oedipian triangle that ultimately keeps capitalism going, the only possibility for incestuous relationship to come free from stigma and oppressive dynamics is in communist society

Contrapoints: well, you see. Leftists are lame and living in the past and too radical for CIVIL people. At this time of great strife and when crisis follows another every couple of years WE REALLY GOTTA SIT AND THINK OF SOMETHING WE MUST DO
Zizek: REAL JOUISSANSE IS WHEN NATO BOMBS EVERYONE
At this point ContraPoints is basically the Slavoj Žižek of trans politics

Perhaps police departments should be mostly staffed by part-timers. This way everyone also has a different normal job and thus are part of the community. In this way, the police are less likely to develop their own unique values different from the community. And thus, the state enforcing unpopular laws becomes more difficult (moreover since everyone has a second job, they can more easily just quit if they don't like what they are ordered to do). And with all the people it is harder to develop a culture of corruption. Perhaps, it could be a two weeks out of the year thing, if that works nicer with people's schedule. We want as many people to be policemen as possible (in fact, for police jobs that don't require physical stress, we should abolish any health requirements). Maybe, police work should be part of the gig economy. We need more good paying gig economy style jobs. Imagine the delight in giving the person who arrested you a low rating on the app afterwards.

Certainly from cheap romance, I recon. It took me like 25 Magic World books by Norton to recognise that it was all just copypasted and reshuffled from the other books in the series, but eventually you recognise patterns in cheap novels and want to try more stuff! Also, as a teen I was a real slop connosuire, which led me to find out that eventually slop writers get tired and write actually cool stuff just to be able to look in the mirror in the morning
Also schools help with that unironically because they get you to read stuff that's often cool(or cheap romance from 18th century. It's a gamble, really)
i'm not saying people shouldn't be reading more books, but i do think it's funny how many people thinking "reading comprehension" is just about how good you are at reading books and not like. criticial thinking skills.

"Read more books" is a more specific and useful advice than "develop critical thinking". Critical thinking is vague and misused as hell

Organised religion works as intended
Society runs on war. It's the only way to produce without inflation. It's the only way to create prosperity
Society runs on exploitation and most marginalised are the most profitably exploited
All examples of consequences of religion only prove that it perfectly adapted to capitalism and works to reproduce it
Complete eradication of religious thinking will bring no good because capitalism would simply replace it with second best ideological tool for the same job.
Only complete defeat of capitalism will set us free
I think that as a society we've become really restricted in our criticisms of religion. *I* certainly don't want to come off as a simple, narrow-minded bigot, ignorant and afraid of some other person's belief system. And it's largely this application of a personal defense against a systemic critique that's been really successful at holding us back. The emergence of the Amazing Atheist style movement on Reddit in the early aughts also brought with it some shocking amounts of Islamaphobia from the most prominent thought leaders at the time. In addition, it provided religious types ample opportunities to cut their rhetorical teeth on newly liberated atheists.
But now, we're knee-deep in corpses from a genocide committed by "God's chosen people" and on the eve of war with another country because our religious politicians believe that protecting this country is part of a doomsday prophecy that they're helping to manifest. Meanwhile Christians domestically are removing abortion rights, attempting to legislate away transgender women, and are hunting down immigrants with dogs.
It's not just enough to point out when members of the clergy commit abuses, we must also stress that the fundamental tenets of organized religion, the in-group out-group mindset they foster, the system of divine rewards and punishments, the clever trick of tying a 'moral' framework to a spiritual one, and the overall cult mentality is in itself harmful. Organized religion has no place in modern society.

Fun fact: your trans friends will likely literally share their HRT with you. Many such cases. Kids aren't lost forever because they have no money
Yeah, dude, because some kids don't have access to money, we shouldn't give information on how to DIY HRT (something done by many trans youth in Europe for years) because they can 'stay alive' without it. I got blocked by this moron for criticizing not even mentioning DIY. I transitioned as a teen and met multiple adolescents who either DIYed or shared hormones other trans people they were friends with. Let's just give faux positivity instead of giving trans people ideas of how to get hormones; this definitely won't hurt those with severe dysphoria who hate what natal puberty is doing to them.

I mean, I'd rather deliver food or go assemble shit than giggle for four hours every day
Hi, I'm a youtuber. Thank you for wantonly clicking on my video. Did you know that Over 99% of people who watch my lame ass trite dog shit, dont subscribe to my channel? This is a statistic I incessantly track, and well, I put a lot of work into sitting down and giggling for 4 hours whenever I feel like it, so I'd really appreciate if you hit that subscribe button so I can run ads and make my videos even worse and less unique in order to avoid offending MASTERCARD 🙏 If not, heh, thats okay.. No body likes me anyway...

Hey friends, baby Marxist here! I’m starting to feel like technology corrupts the pure soul of man. Has anyone tried turning back the wheel of history so that we can return to a state of perfect innocence?
