Post a controversial opinion

feeling virtuous about your consumption choices while literally jacking off has gotta be peak america

all consumption under capitalism is ethical

ethical consumption fits right under capitalism like toast under beans

my controversial opinon is capitalism is actually pretty good and just needs to be restrained like in scandinavia

i recognize that this not actually controversial

hmm i expected you to be more of a revolutionary tbh

i guess that's hoos' field

I actually don't think consumerism is bad per se but I do think capitalism is bad

I am all for a post-capitalist consumerism. Fuck it, full communist consumerism. Bring it on.

as far as that free range appropriate porn article idgi

wanting to not watch videos where ppl are coerced or obviously incapable of consenting to the video's production seems ok

not sure thats what that aritcle is really about

hmm i expected you to be more of a revolutionary tbh

waiting for ppl to come up w better revolutions

hence why idgi

"you need to jerk off to a racially and ethnically diverse cast of happy ppl" seems kind of fucked up as a sentiment

shiny happy ppl fucking for money --rem the band

If I can't soda then I don't want to be part of your revolution

You can still soda in America.

we keep adding new varieties and possibilities to the soda experience

capitalism would be great for places that don't have it yet but is not the best for places that have had it for a while already

what is best for places that have had it for a while

fascism

to die soon iirc

wld be curious to see a low regulation high welfare state

let the business ppl run wild as long as everyone gets free everything

obvs wld need some level of regulation so they dont destroy the environment and so forth

"you need to jerk off to a racially and ethnically diverse cast of happy ppl" seems kind of fucked up as a sentiment

it seems like culturally we've determined that what turns a person on shouldn't be obligated to social justice concerns but if someone refuses to jerk off to non-white porn stars they're probably bigots right?

what if they have some thing where they only want to watch women who look like their wife

"I guess this looks a little bit like a laotian version of my wife, so it's cool"

FWIW, I think the "I don't watch TV" thing really coincided with the rise of iPads and stuff, and is therefore somewhat disingenuous.

Disingenuous now maybe, but the Onion's "Area Man Constantly Mentioning He Doesn't Own A Television" piece is from January 2000 and the Mr. Show "TV is a nickname, and nicknames are for friends, and television is no friend of mine" bit is from December 1996.

yeah feel like if anything that sentiment is at its nadir

the "i don't watch tv" thing was surely usually a snobby thing coming from people who believed that tv shows were pabulum, lot less people believe that now than probably ever before in history what with the emergence of the golden age of tv drama and the prestige and critical acclaim of tv shows

i know that if i didn't watch tv shows that as a liberal arts degree having 30 something i would be a bit of a dinner party pariah

can confirm.

"I don't watch tv" is just code for "I play a lot of micecraft." people should just admit to playing a lot of minecraft imo.

Sorry, but I'm still not getting the point on the Christmas thing.

Most people are celebrating family, friends, gifts, food, drink, winter, decorations, television, films. The name is the only really Christian thing left.
At this point nativity plays seems like Dickens' A Chistmas Carol, Grinch and The Great Escape. I guess it depends on where you live.

put the crüt back in crütmas

just to clarify, it's "i don't EVEN watch tv". the even is very important

which is really only a suitable phrasing if you are famous movie actor being asked to take a TV role

it's "i don't even WATCH tv" imo

"smell tv? i don't even WATCH tv"

the accent is definitely on WATCH, sorry. I was just capitalizing EVEN to make it easier to notice the additional word. just trying to help over here

although I DON'T EVEN WATCH TV is also acceptable in some rare situations

for example, when you're implicated in a crime that somehow depends on the fact that you watch tv

"I don't whip. I don't nae nae. I don't EVEN watch tv."

this was on the car parked next to me at work today. out of respect for my christian colleagues + friends i will continue to view christmas as a religious holiday about jesus christ and resent it for attempting to use the soft power of jingles, holiday sales and red/green patterned color schemes to convert me and my family:

Totally valid.

(Your reaction, I mean.)

red / green as a color scheme is pretty tite

Keep Shit in Christmas
