Authoritarian Communism or Socialism. They are generally in favor of a strong military and central state government that projects power and maintains social order, and ideally social progress through strict law and order methods people who look at Mao and Stalin as necessary or a net gain at least, hopefully they aren’t into Pol Pot’s methodology, as it was clear his primary objective was to constantly purge his own supporters while trying to starve and kill anyone that wasn’t a multi generational rice farmer of strictly Cambodian ethnicity or identity. But Pol Pot isn’t like totally out of pocket for what they’d like to see happen either. So yeah. Authoritarian Communism or Socialism, police state, rolling tanks over disodances. Hence Tankies.

Idk it’s hard for me to lean that way because hank started out as a pretty one dimensional character, he didn’t like finding teenage boys jerkin in his tool shed, and he was so repressed emotionally he could barely admit to liking anything.

I can’t even smell anything well, my taste is very weak, but I know what my kids respond to, and after several years I have a good sense of how much of any spice will work.

If it doesn’t clear my sinuses completely how is it supposed to cure me? Of course it needs cayenne.

You gotta be careful though, because the Bible basically called every woman that is featured in it a whore. A lot of this is actually more modern translation stuff, clerics of the dark ages loved adding whore to ever female description

- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 2 weeks ago:
Part of capitalism is a need for high consumer culture. I grew up in a Latin American culture, and there are American sub cultures that also work similarly, there’s no nuclear family. Of course your relationship with your parents and siblings are very strong and important, but you have no problem living with grandma, or having your extended family live all very close together, my family were all in the same apartment complex in an immigrant neighborhood. I grew up with my cousins, like every day, if we didn’t want to play outside we’d go to different houses to see what everyone was watching on TV, we shuffle around with the different game consoles at different houses, food was entirely communal. After I got married to a typical American partner and started raising our kids together I was very shocked to find out that some food in the house is apparently owned by someone. And eating that food is a serious offense. Anyway, people used to live very close if not in a large family home with extended families. Why was this bad for capitalism? One large house owner by an entire family of 12-22 people securely, in which no one needs to buy their own home. We’re a few cars and carpooling is a simple task, where food is distributed to the hungry without a lot of steps between grocer and table, I was wearing clothes my uncle wore when I was an adult. When everyone dresses in a similar manner and suits and work close lasted generations, a pair of taken care of shoes or boots that just get repaired every few decades, are you starting to see the problem? That NOT good for capitalism. When the concept of the nuclear family took hold there was a huge boom in home conduction, hardware stores, department stores, companies made fortunes off baby boomers, all this individualized products, razors, deodorant, soap, every stage in life requires a new variety of soap, 10 kinds of cereal to pick from, new shoes every 6mo.
Humans are Apes. Every other ape on the planet lives in large troops that mutually aid eachother and who is boss, and who is contending to take over, who has first pick of food and women, it’s based on what? Being hella aggro? Being bigger, stronger, what? Usually it comes down to who has the best social skills, who ever bonds with the most members of the troop, because when a fight ensures, it’s not about who is smart, cunning, or strong, it’s about how many apes jump in on your side. We are DEEPLY social animals. The nuclear family isolated men the most. Toxic masculinity harms men on a HUGE scale. Quietly, emotionless, provide a secure home, two or more cars, and income to spare to the family you alone protect. It’s pretty lonely. Many men don’t even have friendships, one of the worst aspects of toxic masculinity is that it’s a sign of weakness to be kind, caring, and nurturing. You know. Those aspect of social life that make every other species of ape successful. So where do men locked out of this already broken system go? They look for groups that will accept them, invite them out, bond with them socially. And who’s funding all these far right groups that do this with millions of dollars? Russia. Far right billionaires and millionaires who don’t want these men talking about WHY they are locked out of the system. If you look around you can also notice a lot of small service business aren’t run by white people. You see Hispanic, Asian, east Indian people, who ‘‘are all packed into that house like sardines’’ with a staff of related people doing the work. Consumer culture is a dead end. The Nuclear family is a dead end.

We all tend to equilibrium. Having someone vs being single is generally an improvement to most people, but it will feel like an average day eventually.
- Comment on I always read on reddit suicide watch people asking for a hit person to kill them. My question is it that easy to just post and get a PM? Or do they have to go to a bar looking? 4 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised if there were no active hit men at all. Maybe there are, idk, but there being none isn’t impossible.
- Comment on If investing in the S&P 500 is such a surefire way to make money, then why isn't everyone doing it? 4 weeks ago:
Because you’re still talking about less then 10% growth, if you don’t have a lot of money, you’re getting a insignificant amount of returns.

Yeah, I can no longer eat beets. Which I loved growing up, but ate a bit, got sick unrelated and I can’t even think about them too much without aversion kicking in. It really does suck.

So you refuse to understand anything more complex than the surface. How lost are you when you watch a movie? When Micheal Corleone says “I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse” are you just like, “That’s pretty nice of him to offer a business deal that’s so favorable he’ll accept it, I thought these guys were rivals.”

They actually aren’t immortal they just dry up and freeze without dying and function at really extreme temperatures. They’re cool, cute, and strange, but immortal is a bit of a misconception.
- Comment on Leonardo DiCaprio meets a woman 1 month ago:
Yeah those 3 years really demonstrate how the myth of ‘‘they married young in the past’’ can’t possibly be a myth.
Average marrying age in 1950 was 20. Well after high school, and there’s plenty of scandals documented of middle aged or old men marrying teens that drew responses of shock and moral outrage.
- Comment on Leonardo DiCaprio meets a woman 1 month ago:
Yeah, let me walk you through it. JULIETTE has parents. In the play. Those parents that are her parents. THOSE parents, Juliette’s parents, THEY say that she’s TOO YOUNG to get married. Her parents. They say that. They say she’s too young at 13 to get married. What they mean by saying this, about Juliette, their daughter, is that she’s only 13 and shouldn’t be married, because she’s TOO young. Her AGE. It’s too small for marriage. They say this in the play. Juliette’s parents. It’s a subtle nod to the people watching the play, so they can get the idea that the parents of Juliette think that she isn’t old enough to be married. At her age in the play.

I just know there are Christians out there that have a very tenuous grasp on why exactly Jesus is the savior in Christianity and many think it’s because his death was UNIQUELY painful. The idea that it was uniquely painful is very much nonsense, or we’d have a lot of saviors. He had a horrible but common place death.
- Comment on Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been. 1 month ago:
Wait till you hear about infants. They are so tiny a human, they can’t deal with the low temps anywhere near as well as an adult, one of the kids that died in the TX freeze was 7. I’m sorry his family didn’t know about body heat and keeping children in the middle of adults to keep warm. I seriously feel grief over this specific loss of life. I just lived in very cold climates that you forget people who never had to learn how to live in extreme cold just don’t know about the basics. Don’t get too close to the fire, don’t sleep alone.
- Comment on Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been. 1 month ago:
I lived up in the mountains for many years, there are risks of frostbite, hypothermia, and death at some temps and no amount of wool will save you. You need heat, most of that time I had a fire place, when I was in a tenant situation the heat was maintained by the management company and we only paid electric, and it was natural gas heaters.
