  • There IS a difference between reality and fantasy. We see it all the time.

    There is an actual fetish for consesual non consent aka rape fantasy/roleplay. If we allow that people routinely engage in fake rape, then why are you surprised if anything else is sexualized. People are weird.

    But is it not just as disturbing to you when people glorify violence and gore such as the Saw franchise?

    I do not understand the attraction to these things either, but I dont think its healthy to pretend that reality and fantasy cant be separated.

    I own 5 guitars, and gave one away. Have had 2 amps, a little fender practice amp and a bigger marshall amp.

    Been playing for 30 years or so( purely as a hobby and not with much intent to master it)

    Ive probably spent less than 3000 CDN as much of it was gifted or family handme downs/family rates.

    My eldest brother, definately spent more than 10k on his music habbit (thanks for old gear bro!)







  • And we have tried to clean the slate many times throughout history, but we always get back to where we are. And it will probably work, but i dont think we can until we weaken this digitally reinforced system this time. I think it needs to be broken more before we can get rid of it and the mechanism to breaking it is very simple, we the people need to use the system as much as the corpos do.

    So if we keep money circulating and OUT of investment, we gain power again over finances. Maybe not enough to reverse the problems, but enough that we CAN get to a clean slate.

    I think it will take a world war that changes the maps forever to happen any other way, which i think would be worse for too many people who wont survive. If this was in ukraine hasnt already shown us


  • I think we really just need to remove the burden of having to work yourself to death just to pay for the existence you didnt ask for.

    Which is why UBI or other similar strategies are becoming popular again. Ive thought a lot about this recently and we have too large or a system that depends entirely too much on transactions of money because it is a much easier way to trade goods and services as opposed to some kind of bartering system.

    But money and power corrupt everything over a long enough period of time. Massive turmoil can short circuit that as in times of crisis where values can shift greatly.

    I think the systems we rely on can’t really be dismantled at this point. We need to create an equilibrium before we can start that dismantling of useless,broken,restrictive,unethical, ways in which we transact with other people.

    UBI should be used as the mechanism to achieve that equilibrium so that everyone can use the system. If we arent able to financially exploit people anymore than the people will be able to live for the themselves.

    Not everyone will want to use that opportunity for self improvement, and we need to work to build a system that lets people not have to be a part of it while it still provides for them to live their unasked for existence in much more meaningful manner.


  • Conservatism is a vile plague of inhumanity, oppression and death and should be treated as such. It is due for a cure.

    And yet they seem to be the majority, or close to it. So one has to ask, why is that so many people turn to it. It has to give them value. And is that value real or perceived.

    For some it is very real, usually the exceptionally wealthy. Which means conservatism is profitable.

    Not having empathy for anyone outside of your in group would make it easy to dismiss or justify the fact that the first rule of capitalism is find a weakness and exploit it
