No ideas are being challenged by these low-brow smut books, come on, it’s just literary porn. Sometimes considering heretical thoughts is the path to enlightenment, but this isn’t relevant when discussing porn, lol. The difference between these books is whether it allows for people to fantasize about unhealthy, morally questionable kinks and maybe even normalize the things I talked about in the previous post, or not, that’s it. And yes, there’s a limit to everything, I also oppose positively framing pointless non-sexual violence, or just having it in for pleasure/titillation, ofc, who wouldn’t?

No, that’s nonsense, things are or aren’t more on the side of virtue than vice and vice versa. If you wanna stand for rape, abuse, coercion, weird age gaps, bestiality, etc. in your literature because it turns you on, that’s you, but it’s depraved. And we all get to speak about it, and you don’t have to agree with what I’m saying.

I can’t believe that’s still a relevant and convincing thing to say, wtf. Maybe for American audiences (and that might be all they’re aiming at, just local support/spin, TBF), cause atheism in Europe is not shunned (and they still have more moral grounding than many “God-fearing” Americans who actually just worship either money or power 🤷).

I didn’t, thanks for the info. 😔

But even if that were true, even if you could kill enough people and subjugate others to have a very comfortable existence, should you do it? I understand an appeal to morality in a society of amoral beings is basically yelling to the void, but come on. Some things are wrong, regardless of how easy your life could become if you did them. I don’t think Americans have ever understood that, and whoever did has historically been shunned (John Brown comes to mind), often imprisoned or assassinated.

Democracy is as fair as possible but fair does not necessarily translate to prosocial, efficient and competent. The people can be corrupt and immoral, uneducated and short-sighted, so those who are not will suffer because of the lost majority. In the absence of a righteous, strong (so not weak enough to be corrupted by lesser men with indecent proposals) and big-brained leader, I guess we can/should still default to democracy?

That’s cordial of you, I appreciate it.

It’s brain poison, and you can waste your time with things that are not nearly as depraved. Stop your perspectivism, at some point these things are just morally wrong and shouldn’t be published (any literature that praises/paints in a good light things like rape, assault, abuse, etc just because it makes people wet). Do I think it’s a big thing overall? No, because this is porn for women and women aren’t outside murdering and raping, that’s almost entirely the domain of men. I do think that, especially for those that come from an amoral, postmodern culture and that never knew what it’s like to have a proper male role model, or what male love should be like because their fathers either weren’t at home or were confused and amoral, it can be somewhat dangerous.

Hell awaits.

Iran already got bombed to hell and back some months ago, maybe this is the time for action? The question is: would the rest of the West go along, once more, with the Burgers or will they abstain?

What if the non-traveler had an internet connection and wasn’t mentally incompetent? What if the person who travels just does it so they can be hedonistic somewhere nobody knows them (as it tends to happen, like Brits in Spain and all the “eat, pray, love” girlies)? Sometimes it’s a cultural experience, most of the time it isn’t, from what I’ve seen.

It’s a mixture of “fancy” escapism and trying to signal being “cultured” (they just got wasted and fucked random people in a different country, perhaps with a museum visit in the middle of it all, lol). It’s nice to travel, just like it’s nice to go to a nice restaurant, but that’s it. Sometimes it does open up your mind because you lived in a racist, weird bubble your whole life, and in that case yeah, it’s definitely more transformative than just having good Indian food in a nice restaurant. And I’ve been around the world besides Asia and Africa, basically (but Morocco and China are my future destinations so that’s gonna happen too at some point), so it’s not like I’m just sour-graping over here.

If you don’t wanna murder innocents and colonize, you’re woke and gay, NGL.

There’s a difference between writing things to satisfy a “healthy sexual appetite” and some of the honestly disgusting and insane things that get published. I guess I’m more against literary depravity (like shit involving falling in love with your rapist or family stuff, many Wattpad stories are like that) than I am against just erotica.

I read the entire Dune series on my phone, laying on my belly, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I did it with an app called eBoox, which reads different formats, making it very practical.

Reading gooner “literature” needs to be shamed, at least when it’s read in public. It shouldn’t be as popular as it is, I’ll tell you that.

The OG trilogy was a Vietnam War allegory (visibly so but also confirmed by Lucas) so I guess this is more than fitting.

Things either get me mad enough that I lose my composure or not nearly enough for me to do anything. Bad parking I don’t care much but other things will push me into breaking shit, I just can’t think of anything right now. 🤷

It’s hard to pick one between ELO, Jamiroquai, the Bee Gees and Linkin Park.

It should be offered IMO (and definitely not made illegal), but not mandatory. If the truth destroys something, it just wasn’t meant to be.
