  • I just want them gone. I don’t care if death is how they get there. Society can just turn on them and have their assets siezed as they rapidly fade into obscurity, or they can be tossed in a jail and largely left to rot, save for some cases of extreme reconditioning.

    I won’t wish death on anyone. But sometimes, it does feel like the most readily accessible means to a good end.



  • That’s because the Discord in question and these supposed shared practices are thing a particular circle of friends maintain and do. Not something that is representative of a widespread cultural group.

    There’s no spiritual movement about masturbating for hours to reach a state of Goonvana, or whatever the fuck this garbage article wants to call it. There’s just people who are sick of being shamed for masturbating and otherwise celebrating sexual attraction to icons, so they’ve created a term to function as a point of counter culture. That’s it. This article tries to paint it as this unique, organized, wide-reaching cultural movement, and it’s just not.










  • I’m with you. The school system is designed to keep voters stupid and uneducated when it comes to civil matters. But at some point, you can’t use it as an excuse. Yes, the system was against them, and miseducated them to this purpose, but they’re still making the decision. You can’t just handwaive away 100% of responsibility for the decisions people make as being a result of being victims of circumstance, because then there’s no such thing as a human being being responsible for their decisions.

    What the actual fuck is this article, lmfao. They act like they’ve cracked the code of what a “gooner” is, and likened it to this almost religious state of being. It’s slang for someone who unapologetically gives their time and energy to one of more targets of their sexual fantasy. That’s it. They’re not trying to ascend to a state of goonvana, or whatever the fuck this article is trying to paint it as. It’s literally just a culturally accepted way of referencing obsession with sexual fantasy.

    So fucking weird, dude.


  • “classical examples of capitalism prove that ogliarcy is the outcome” isn’t a great argument when every real-world attempt at communism has led to fascism. Or, you know, China lying about being Communist while being exactly as economically capitalist as the states, abusing their poor class in exactly the same ways as the American prison system

    It’s not like Dessalines, or the rest of .ml gives a shit about the reality of what they say though. It’s easy to make an argument when you lie through your teeth.




  • I can’t wait to see the exemption for “part time workers” and suddenly everyone making less than a triple digit salary has exactly 32 hours a week, or whatever is legally permissible to pass as “part time work” in your country.

    You’ve provided a fantastic common-sense solution designed off the simple premise that no one needs 12x of a living wage, and I can’t agree enough, but I know the capitalists would fuck it up at every stage possible, while simultaneously arguing that they’re justified in doing so because the method of economy that they worships has given them moral purchase to look down on the poors.
