It's an Orthodox thing. You're supposed to think of yourself as the worst of all sinners so that you won't judge others harshly for their sin, which you want to avoid because God will judge us in accordance with how we judge others.

Sorry to hear that, but thanks for the explanation. I did not know that.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I don't see why not, but it'd be difficult to do so.

Like seriously, they're doing what millions of people throughout history, both males and females, have done: choosing to not get into relationships in order to pursue work, school, personal hobbies, etc..., except they choose to believe that they're special and being free thinkers, by forming a crowd, and a lot of the time, adding an unneeded sexist spin on it.


You're ignoring centuries of gender roles where men worked and women looked after domestic affairs and societies where hobbies could only be afforded by the rich and royalty, who were the people that didn't need to work for a living and therefore could have the time and money to pursue hobbies. Only towards the end of the 19th century did more and more people, the middle classes, acquire enough wealth and free time to also pursue hobbies.

You're also ignoring centuries of social pressure where marriage and relationships was considered an essential aspect of becoming an adult, something which hasn't completely disappeared. Granted society at large no longer believes cohabiting to be "living in sin", but there's still pressure on men and women to find a partner, settle down and raise a family. Those that do not, and do not have any other reasons to do so like focusing on a career like many do today, are often considered to be "immature" or "manchildren". There's even a term for men specifically who refuse outright to settle down, marry and have kids: Peter Pan Syndrome.

Given we live within a society that still fully believes in the whole "men are providers" thing, saying that you refuse to participate in that is going to rock the boat.

Like, seriously, if they just said "I'm not dating cause I want to peruse a career/school/hobby", and I'm pretty sure 99% of people wouldn't care. Yet for some reason, they need to add this twist to it that just makes them seem kinda silly...


It seems kinda silly to people who have not yet swallowed the Red Pill and understood why we believe what we believe.

You want to know what helps people stop being aroused? Having the smex.

That's a shame. I tend to agree a lot with socialist economics, but I disagree very strongly with the foundations of socialist thought, and thus tend to reject it altogether.

It's the morally correct path to be monogamous. Promiscuity is unhealthy.

No, it's not. So long as your partners are consenting, it's fine. Another caveat, at least from my perspective, is that if you're having sex with someone but don't want a relationship, you should be very clear about defining whatever it is "you are" with them, or else it's shitty.

Sex is actually a very healthy activity, and promiscuity doesn't really hurt anyone, so some could argue that it's actually healthy.

I'm fond of the economics of the Soviet system because of the control it gives the government over the goings-on of the country. It is very good for destroying the influence of the international cartels and bourgeoisie. But I disagree strongly with the notion that egalitarianism is good.

Promiscuity, as has been shown earlier in the thread, is unhealthy because it leads to higher levels of divorce later in life.

If you're married, then don't cheat/be promiscuous. If you're not married, then being a single man who is promiscuous is fine, I think, so long as again, there is consent and some level of respect.

Like, don't be with someone and not establish what "it" is.

Only if one of the people involved have any STIs

Otherwise not really, unless we're talking about mental health. In that case, one has to decide for themselves what matters to them and know their limits. If promiscuity isn't something you want, then no one's forcing you into it. If you enjoy it and don't have any emotional issues with it, then whatever, it's fine. I think the most important thing to consider is how you feel about the other person. If you're fucking just to fuck, then perhaps you might need to think about what you're doing and whether you're doing it for the right reasons. If you're fucking a lot of people but the relationships are passionate and there's a healthy amount of respect, then I'm not in any place to judge. If you're happy, you're happy.

I don't mean promiscuity within marriage. Women with more premarital partners are more likely to have unstable marriages and divorce.

Speaking of that, probably due to promiscuity, pretty much every year a new record for STD infections is made. both 2015 and 2016 were record years in the United States.

True, but the tax benefits are certainly nice. Sometimes people like to go a bit beyond proving affection, and make a showing of it... Can't say I oppose or support it. I remain a huge fan of you doing you.

2. You bet I am! Do you wanna know why? Because we don't live in those times, we live in the safest and wealthiest time period in human history
3. I also am doing that. Mainly because there are several societies that didn't actually mind if people got together or not. Also, Peter Pan Syndrome isn't real, but even then you don't understand it's definition, it's for people who are considered "societally immature" (Which is one of the major reasons it doesn't exist, as being societally mature varies wildly across cultures. The person who coined the idea was American and didn't really do any research into other cultures, so yeah...) and has nothing to do with whether your in romantic relationships or not.
4. Ah yes, the Red Pill, another thing that doesn't actually exist.

I'm not that type of socialist, infact I wouldn't consider the USSR socialist at all tbh. They had no democratic element to their production process hence it isn't socialist.

I'm a market socialist, and I am an egalitarian at least in the since that I believe that people should have as much equality of opportunity as the government can support. I'm much more authoritarian in the social sphere than the economic one, which I tend to be rather libertarian.

Holy Matrimony and marriage are not necessarily the same thing, as there have been civil marriage contracts pretty much forever.

It's not being 'made' a secular institution -- it IS a civil institution.

Fun fact: you are NOT legally married in the US unless you have the state-issued marriage license. That's why you need to get one ahead of the religious ceremony.

There's a fair argument to be had there. Perhaps reckless promiscuity is responsible for that, but I'd say the way to fix the issue isn't by telling people to stop having sex with others, but to teach people about STIs and the dangers and all that. I mean once you see some real fucked up looking penises or vaginas you realize you don't want that happening to you. So, get to know the person a bit before you fuck them. It's not smart to just bury yourself in anyone that's willing to let you do so. It's a risk, and if you take it, and you end up contracting something, you may not realize and continue to spread it around. That's when things can be dangerous.

So if you want to fuck a lot of people at least get to know them and if possible see if they've been tested. It's not fair to assume that every promiscuous person, or for that matter, anyone with more than just you as a partner throughout their life, has an STI. They're not THAT common.

We can think up a lot of things but just because we can think it doesn't make it possible. Besides, sex with a machine would be pretty shallow and unfulfilling. It's just a more physical extension of porn no matter how realistic it may be, and porn is great if you're only concerned about sexual release. But there's a whole lot more to sex than just the raw mechanics of it.

Um, what's this to do with marriage?
