Wait a minute, this was racist

>>158759
I agree with the concept, but in practice it makes me feel gross to see; watching another human being in so much terror and fear is off putting to me no matter how horrible their actions are.

Empathy is a strange and wonderful thing.

Irony is, most of the real sexual predators are right under their noses and they go by unpunished


Also, most sexy predator-baiting shows are often focused on the catch rather than protecting the vulnerable

Alot of these stings are often using fake personas to begin with.

And from what I heard, Chris Hansen's show "To Catch A Predator" was staged.

I have lived extensively in both, from the bumfuck middle of the forest as a hermit surviving, to the middle of a sprawling megacity, and I can tell you one thing for sure, you take yourself (your baggage, your conditioning, your skills) wherever you go. The things humans do in cities is analogous to what animals do in forests. Its the hamsterwheel that is samsara. I think you, as a city slicker, will actually find rural life to be more bullshit than city life. I've seen it happen both ways. I will also say that where your story ends is usually a result of where you started. Good luck finding yourself lainon. It can take a few years or a lifetime

I left my city and I hated it. I just came back. We don't live in a major metropolis, but, it's around 800,000 residence. I came back. I was living in a bum fuck middle of nowhere town in idaho for 8 years and fuck that. Those people are backwards.

City life is bad only in the sense of a lot of pollution and smothering but that doesn't make it inherently bad.

In nature, animals make their own metropolitan districts.

>No, it's juvenile. Don't try to correct me, dumbass.

How is it juvenile?
More adults whining about pop culture from a "it's not cool like it used to be" angle.

>Because it's a bunch of rich guys, largely concentrated in a few wealthy areas, who use insidious marketing and heaps of money, based on the same tricks developed by the likes of Edward Bernays at the birth of PR, to manipulate people into a state where consuming particular products is perceived to be a default state or a signifier of normality. These products then supplant local culture, people accept them as "ours" because they are told to, even though they actually represent the will of small, economically disconnected people very far away, and what those people think everyone else ought to be listening to or watching or doing right now.


You know that local cultures are not static and can be influenced by metropolitan areas even in the old days.

The problem is not "cultural appropriation", but rather that said products are oversold.

>Meanwhile, the culture on the ground, the remaining regional culture, tends to be far more connected to the pulse of the people. It isn't filtered through the whims of the state. When it comes to music it's even generally better - like more interesting, better hooks, less boring. But I'm supposed to pretend like it's not!

Neither of these sentences is engaging with anything I said. I never once said "cultural appropriation," nor did I say anything about "local cultures being influenced by metropolitan areas."
I'm talking about payola and Bernays-style PR by millionaires connected to the corporate state, keep up.

>Umm, you know that a lot of our pop culture is due to regional scenes being recognized in Hollywood, right?
Again, this isn't engaging with anything I said.

It's not a counter-point to anything I said to say that the mass-marketed media which is pushed to replace better organic cultural expressions sometimes offers inferior imitations. That doesn't contradict my argument that pop culture is a sort of cultural brood parasite, if anything it supports it.

Your post is fair point
I apologize for being dense

But now you understand my frustration with these "incels" constantly whining about "TFW no gf" thinking that romantic love is owed to them by default?

Now you understand my frustration about childhood and adolescence being manufactured?

Our gender relations are also manufactured.

>>158750
Why do people say we think that? That's such a fucking sterotype. Maybe pull the log out of your own eye before you point out the stick in mine because I have tried to play the dating game I have tried to be that bad boy edge lord I have tried everything to actually find a partner (with varying success) but I am still alone. And If I don't have a family to look forward to in my life then I have no reason to work.

>>158753
This is what I'm talking about.
Yes, I'm well aware that most of you have payed the dating games far too many times for any low-prospect man.
But the point I'm saying is that romantic love is oversold as an automatic grant for adulthood.

Also you confessing you've tried the "bad boy persona" is especially cringe worthy.

And why do you people always say that having a family/partner is your sole motive for working?

Do you not know how many family men are disenchanted with their lives?

If you need a family to motivate you to work, then I'm sorry my friend,you're already ballast.

>>158705
Jesus christ, what the fuck? Are you then advocating for just letting all these "good" homeless junkies take what they want (which makes everything more expensive for those of us living within the rules of society) as "reparations" or something?
I don't know why you're so offended by my post. I'd certainly consider myself a liberal, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stand by and assume it's the "Evil System" that put these people where they are. I used to be tangentially connected to that world. I smoked heroin and ran around with these scummy people and watched them shoplift and scam whoever they could for enough cash to get their next fix. Luckily I'm not retarded, so when it looked like I was going to have to graduate to the needle and start living like these people, I checked into rehab and got my shit together. As SOON as it became "get act together" or "live on the streets with your addiction", the choice was clear.

I wish I could better understand where you're coming from and what you think the solution would be. I don't advocate rounding up the homeless and moving them past the city limits exactly, but I also don't like them camped out around downtown businesses panhandling and smoking and letting their dogs shit and bark at people trying to engage in commerce.

I know we need to just fix everything so this doesn't happen, but what's the solution? The 1% just keep taking and taking and leaving us less. I've seen situations where homes are provided to these people and I've seen them not even be able to keep their FREE fucking room together. They live in filth and cause drunken fires and shit. They end up being too wild for their government-given surroundings.

I'm saying the difference is that I was on that road to ruin and I did the hard thing and lived in a shelter and pissed in a cup and made curfew until I could wrangle a place of my own for a new start. There are resources to help you save money and get back on your feet. I used those resources. And when I've suggested such places to beggars on the street they start in about the rules and how they like their drink and their drugs.

Some of these places are hardcore religious and I don't believe you should have to hear a sermon for your dinner, but still it's better than the streets.

I don't think all these people are bad. I just can't see your Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>I'd certainly consider myself a liberal,
Ok, that explains it somehow.

>>158711
Explains what? That you don't have any response because you don't know anything about who you're responding to?
You don't have any issue with my opinions after all. That's what I thought.

"Liberal" is a slur around these parts here

That anon doesn't like you because you don't automatically sympathise with junkies to the point of becoming a door mat.
Alot of LeftyPol users are pro -NEETs and glorify the lumpenproletariat

>>158743
>"Liberal" is a slur around these parts here
Yes, and he helpfully self-identified.

>That anon doesn't like you because you don't automatically sympathise with junkies to the point of becoming a door mat.
No.

I went into my position here: >>158705
I am clear and unambiguous. My position has fuck all to do with how "sympathetic" I personally find junkies. It also has nothing to do with whether any given individuals are "good homeless" or "bad homeless," that entire framing is retarded. It's a systemic problem, and the things which would benefit the homeless broadly will benefit all of them and will benefit me. That's not conditional on what interpersonal beef I do or don't have with some individual guy, that shit is irrelevant.

>Alot of LeftyPol users are pro -NEETs and glorify the lumpenproletariat
I'm not glorifying anything. I am a lumpenprole. Nothing I say has anything to do with "glorification," and I've explained this to you, specifically, before in other threads where you've made the same misrepresentation of others' positions. I'm not sure if you're really this dense or if you're just trolling or something worse. I don't romanticize or glorify anyone, get it through yr skull that the existence of the lowest rungs of the working class is not conditional on your approval, we are literally just people who have had shit opportunities for 'mainstream' work, an extraordinarily common thing since the capitalist economy keeps shitting the bed. There are millions of us, and the only people who don't interact with us regularly are the richest capitalists, we're not some alien thing which anybody in this milieu is "glorifying."

>And no matter how much money exists, womens sex drive is really amazing at sniffing out good genes it's very primal. Looks actually matter to women way more than men think.

Wrong on both.

Women aren't good at "sniffing out good genes".
Also lookism is part of equation.

It's not 1 out of three it's like 3 out of 4. Only some delusional female would ever say that.

Holy shit is this a copypaste of a thread from like 2015 wtf is this

No it fucking doesn't lmao

The quality of discourse on the rest of the web isn't much better. Enjoy your hug box.

>>158707
I mean it fucking used to be.

As a devoted user of this site, I admittedly find it frustrating. Not that .org is better - .org is unusable, the mods of .org are weird sadists who hate /leftypol/ culture, ban people for undeclared reasons, and delete stuff which doesn't break any rules. .org has also, accordingly, been a serious step down from the educational & memetic exchange atmosphere of old /leftypol/ and Bunkerchan; it was a major downgrade even before it became unusable. It frustrates me that it seems like the more time and thought I put into posting here, the deader and more vapid this site becomes. I don't begrudge the incels as posters (unlike the OP), I like that they're here, but what frustrates me is that casual attention to anything else seems to have declined so damn steeply.

You know, our /b/ is very free, our /leftypol/ is not censor-happy, our /edu/ was once full of users posting useful pdfs. There's a TON of stuff going on in the world right now which is insanely fucking interesting, but it seems like I'm 99% of the posts about it.

Furries arent zoophiles and neither are lolis being pedophilws

Also, zoomers are not being groomed as a majority into these cults of degeneracy.

At least no more than millennials were.


Alot of these "unfortunate" you g souls who get caught up in grooming willfully chose it because they weren't getting enough attention at home or school.

Alot of grooming occurs more in academic and religious settings

And social media is overblamed.

We had way more molestation in the "good old days"

>>158514
You claiming that people who don't agree that furries aren't degenerate is terminally online is paradoxical


Terminally online people are the ones who call anything "degenerate".

Ummmm… based

I was friends with a random furfag before he told me he was a zooey. Needless to say, I blocked him. Seems like the stereotype is true
