    Literally proved my point, let's try this again

  • I can’t believe I spent like 3 and half years of my life on website filled with a bunch of whinny annoying vegans and mfs who talk about trillion other irrelevant things while people are getting blown up and terrorized by genocidal yakubian terrorists over the globe.

    I can. People spend decades on sites far worse than this. But why can't we discuss other problems? It's not as though we aren't discussing the big ones.

    It also came to my attention that most of the users here are white and from the west, my friend told me so and I checked the data on prolewiki and it’s true. I thought that this was supposed to be a communist Global South focused place, and not a place where white people talk about first world problems.

    As I told your friend, it's better that a bunch of westerners are clumsy at being communists than perfect at being nazis. I have my own gripes with this place and some of its administration but it beats the hell out of 4chan or other kinds of places.

  • I gotcha. But "can't" in this context means "I doubt they'd let me."

  • Why? In response to the aforementioned westerners. "We can consume what you hate and you gringos can't stop us" kind of stuff.

    "Consumption" is another strange term to me, one that underestimate how accessible porn is. It doesn't get consumed. 1,000 people can view the same porn 1,000 times and copy and distribute it endlessly. It doesn't get used up like a drug.

  • boasting about consuming that material is weird

    Quite right. What's wrong with weird?

    The western puritans are a large group of internet-goers who police sexual expression and thought and go to absolutely absurd lengths to expose, harass, or dox people who have them. People on Rednote compared them to colonialists.

  • Well said. I don't blame people entirely for depending on cognitive shortcuts because we are oppressed and sapped of mental energy but fighting oppression effectively necissitates we recognize what it looks like and where it comes from.

    Something I’ve noticed as well is that this latest generation of young people seem to be extremely sex-negative and increasingly puritan to the point of intensely policing others if they detect a shred of sexuality…

    This is a largely western phenomenon from what I've seen and it's led to clashes on RedNote and other places, thus the policing takes on a racist form. Big surprise. I think there's plenty of sex positive young people in the west, they just get silences and suppressed by the negative people you mentioned, many of whom go to absolutely extreme measures to antagonize them. Doxxing, threats of abuse, the list goes on and on. One example was doxxing someone in the middle east to homophobic parents. This, I believe, is a reproduction of capitalist power-dynamics as well as fear of ostracization out of "looking bad". Fear justified and self-reproduced in part by the aforementioned abuses. Thankfully pushback's been stronger lately.

  • That is correct. Exposure therapy is considered the most effective therapy for a reason. Well done.

  • I'm not sure. China is a massive place with different politicians everywhere. I see people on Rednote talk and boast about consuming porn in the face of "western puritans". It may depend on the type of porn.

  • It may also be because everyone has different ideas as to what "porn" means. Does it involve real people? Is there money involved? Things like that. With a sufficiently strong imagination and/or a sufficiently varied libido, one could get off to anything whether it was created for such a purpose or not.

  • "Serial kidnappers that do not actually exist".

    They absolutely do but RAINN says that the majority of CSA is committed not by strangers but by acquaintances and family members.

    As for porn, yeah, it's not even simply a matter of it being more accessible. Kids and teenagers are capable of imagination and creating images in their heads. They're also capable of writing and drawing. I think the Netherlands had the best solution; sex ed should be early and comprehensive so kids will learn from it before porn gives them the wrong ideas AND ALSO to equip them to recognize grooming or abuse attempts.

    "I reported it for being gross".

    Cool. Cool. We need to face "gross" sometimes. I'm trans and thus many people find me gross. It's a visceral cognitive shortcut that we needn't rely on. Wisdom of Repugnance is a fallacy for a reason.

  • It's not a matter of intellect. Do you realize how many neurodivergent people are ostracized into communist circles?

  • Trump’s spiritual advisor, Paula White: “Saying no to Trump would be saying no to God”. Whenever I see this, I am thankful that China bans and prosecutes this type of cults.

  • What are your thoughts on Islam?

  • The people who judge the Quran that way usually have no issues judging the Bible that way.

  • Absolute pawns, too. They may be a threat to individuals like myself but they're nothing next to the power wielded by imperialist rulers and billionaires. The incident helped put it in perspective for me; it's very little wonder Stalin was as hypervigilant as he was.

    EDIT: Just today, someone told me Total K*ke Death. I'm not even Jewish.

  • It's a religion. I don't like religion. But Islam constantly has enemies far worse than itself.

  • Yes. It's why I was saying they're nothing compared to the organized Nazi Germany of old and even less compared to the United States of America. They're a bunch of Hitler-glorifying teens and adults who constantly attempt to dox and harass people.

  • It is absurd and less of an "organization" and more of a group of people who wanted a website that was an even more right-wing 4chan.
