>>8196>This is a fucked up moralistic take on "proper love"okay fair enough, what im trying to say is just that love requires a certain kind of alienation in order to really mean anything, otherwise its just narcissism, trying to turn people into objects that reflect you perfectly
love doesnt mean finding someone that fits you like a jigsaw puzzle piece, at some level love requires a radical acceptance of difference
>And irony is, capitalism romanticises conflict and difference far too much as virtue.capitalist culture constantly pushes the illusion of a harmonious society under siege by external forces, internally there is no tolerance for conflict and difference
in the context of relationships this applies too, those who arent "like us" are treated as something to avoid rather than embrace
