  • I think you have a very different perspective from me on what OP was asking and what this thread is.

    Indeed it seems so. I read it more as

    OP: “I believe porn can ruin your mind and sex habits, how do we acknowledge this without delving into conservatism on the issue.”

    You: “wtf porn doesn’t ruin your life, you’re in a rabbit hole and your entire premise is wrong”

    Me: “Porn can ruin your life, why would you suggest it can’t? Look at gooners”

    I feel you have to actually understand and acknowledge the real potential effects of pornography in order to find the line between recognition of harmful effects and conservatism.


  • I didn’t say you invent those phrases, I said that you harshly dismissed them with no recognition of the limited truth they hold, so why would you expect me to know you recognize the nuance?

    How can I “put some ridiculous binary statement” in your mouth when I’m just reacting to the binary you already presented.

    It like if someone says " all drugs are bad because they ruin your life".

    and you say “wtf that’s not true, drugs don’t ruin your life” without mentioning that you’re only talking about some drugs.

    Obviously I’m going to point out that, no, drugs can ruin your life if you partake in them the wrong way, because drug addicts do have a problem and you dismissed it through ignoring it, even if that’s not your intention. I can’t know your hidden intentions, only what you post.


  • Porn wrecks your mind?

    Porn stops your sexuality? Wtf.

    you shouldn’t assume even your starting framework is agreed upon

    Why wonder about people who think porn stunts their sexuality (still wtf?!?)

    You mentioned it multiple times but the only things you said about these statements were harshly dismissive and didn’t provide any sort of nuance so why would it be ridiculous for me to respond as if there wasn’t nuance in your opinion? I don’t know what’s in your heart/mind, only what you say.













  • There are no good guys and bad guys.
    2 groups of people who are neighbors and relatives and share a common heritage keep killing each other, mostly due to shitty rulers who have no interest in their peoples’ well-being.

    Genocide isn’t bad? Palestine and Israel are just neighbors despite Israel being on land stolen by the British and Israel being propped up by western powers to oppress Palestinians?

    You could say the same thing about almost any conflict.

    2 groups of people who are neighbors and relatives ✓

    Share a common heritage (European/German)✓

    Keep killing each other ✓

    Shitty rulers who have no interest in their people’s well being ✓

    Seems like there were no bad guys in WW2/The Holocaust, because using power to oppress and conduct genocide isn’t what makes a bad guy apparently.



  • People try to complicate it (not necessarily in this thread) because they want to provide excuses for supporting the genocidal bad guys or not fully opposing them.

    The truth is simple, rhe ones actively carrying out a genocide are the bad guys.

    The ones resisting it, even if you disagree with their other beliefs/methods, are currently fighting for the good cause, to stop the genocide of their people.

    As for

    but from what I know Israel was attacked and is responding and trying to get their hostages back.

    History didn’t start on oct-7, though the media would love people to think so.

    Gaza has been an open air prison living under an apartheid state for decades.

    Ignoring that the entire strip is practically Israeli hostages, Israel has had far more Palestinian hostages held in Israeli prisons long before oct-7. A major reasoning for the Al-aqsa flood and taking of hostages was to trade those hostages for their own back.
