No, you're just indoctrinated by bullshit and it's making you say insane and stupid things.
If you think that monogamy means you get to rape your partner, then you probably shouldn't be in any relationship under any system ever because clearly consent is something you have a fuzzy concept of. You can stay in incel town where you belong.
Monogamy is a system of relationships where you and another person agree that while you're in a sexual relationship you won't have sexual relationships with other people. Under such a system, if you have sexual relationships with other people while already in one relationship it's called cheating and it's frowned upon. You can have sexual relationships with other people, but first you need to end the relationship you're in.
The enforcement of monogamy isn't forcing people into being in a relationship. It's the enforcement of monogamy as the general way of having relationships rather than something like polygamy or a sexual free for all. Under monogamy, there's lots of men and women who aren't in relationships for a variety of reasons, and there's nothing at all inherent in monogamy that suggests you must be in a relationship, any more than there being anything inherent in polygamy that suggests you must be in a relationship.
Marriage in the west is a form of enforced monogamy. There is no law saying you can't cheat on your husband or have a side boyfriend or girlfriend, and in fact a surprising number of marriages practice polyamory or other forms of sexual relationships but society expects that if you choose to marry someone then you're going to be faithful to the other person. Under the European nuclear family model, there is no one 'arranged' to do anything -- certainly not by the state. Young men go out and try to meet women, and a woman chooses who she wants to marry, and then they get married. The way that it is enforced is that you'll face social disapproval if you cheat on your husband or wife. If your friends know that you are married, and they see your husband or wife kissing someone who isn't you, they'll come back to you and let you know, and if it gets out that you cheated on your spouse then you could lose social standing including losing friends because they don't respect what you did.
The state isn't the only or even the best way to enforce things. Culture and society are the things that enforce many cultural norms.
Now maybe you might ask "why should society enforce monogamy?", but to me the real question is, "do you hate most women and most men?"
If we don't enforce monogamy at a societal level, the alternative seems to quickly become powerful men acquiring massive harems, and many men never getting a chance to be in a sexual relationship of any kind. The consequence is that the women are treated like garbage because they're just one of many in a powerful man's harem, and many of the men go crazy and become increasingly extreme in an attempt to secure their future. We see this in some African countries where old men treat their many wives like trash and young men are ruthless and violent because they have no chance of participating in a key piece of the human experience through normal means.
"The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth."
The polarization is part of a larger rush due to this being a difficult time economically as well. There's too many elites being produced and not enough normies, and so everyone is clamoring all over each other trying to get into and stay in the upper class.
That's what this is all about, after all.
Lots of parallels between today and the time right before the French revolution, including lots of inflationary spending making fake rich people and effectively harming the poor and middle class, and instead of not doing that, the group claiming to represent the poor and middle class call for policies that help the upper classes such as perpetual inflation forever.
Man, if I were in a public position, I'd have to have all fake accounts with my name and face run by my social media manager, then Id have my 'real' accounts totally pseudonymous. All the ado about liking posts would be tiring.
I'm pretty sure it's a white shirt and the reason it looks off white is because it's so thin you can see her skin underneath. The color of the shirt is thicker fabric, and you don't see the skin color underneath.
I think that you probably could have put 99 more t-shirts on her, and not one of them would have invoked this policy, because most t-shirts are not designed to be see through.
The internet is a mirror, it reflects back what you put into it.
Of course, some people want to inject politics into every single thing that we do, and some people want to inject bad lessons into everything we do, but you can use it to learn math, science, crafts, skilled trades, you can learn about literature, history, philosophy.
On the other hand, the one thing that I think that you're absolutely correct about is that you should eventually step away from the screen, and go do some of those things that you learn about online. My beloved Soviet canuckistan is presently an Arctic hellscape, but when we end up getting our 37 minutes of summer, I intend to go out and play with a new kiln I bought for firing pottery and melting different metals.
Earlier today I made a post on fbxl social about the concept that the state owns you as opposed to you owning yourself. If you own yourself, and I think that most people should want to, it ends up becoming contingent upon yourself to come up with plans. The world is an adventure, there is so much out there, and so many things you can do without a penny, but just as you said, you need to get out of the house in order to actually participate, and you need to put in the effort to find those exciting things because no one else is going to do it for you.
In Plato's allegory of the cave, is the understanding of the forms which releases you from your bonds and sends you into the wilderness, but I think in postmodern society it is actually embracing your personal autonomy. For many people, if they see you doing something that they don't like, if they hear you saying something that they don't like, if they think that you think something that they don't like, and they get all of their opinions and actions from someone else so they don't need to and don't get to choose their opinions or their actions on their own, and they see someone else thinking for themselves and acting for themselves, and of course it enrages them because they know what they've lost even if they don't understand it.
That's what they said!
Honestly, I think you cash out while you can. reddit is what it's going to be. It peaked a long, long time ago and now is a niche website for a certain type of user, so all they can do is try to squeeze more money out of the people left.
Wow, called it!
By Stewart's standard, everyone who has ever applied for a loan and everyone who has ever paid land taxes has committed fraud.
My house was appraised by the city at one price for the purposes of land taxes, and guess what? I paid a completely different price when I bought it and got a loan from the bank for it! OH MY GOD CALL THE POLICE!
I bet Stewart owns some property, and I guarantee the same is true for him. I bet he got a mortgage for the actual value, but he pays land taxes based on the value the city assessed which is lower.
I wish I could claim it's all original ideas, but it's a synthesis of two ideas I saw, one being about the secular cycles idea from Peter Turchin where elite overproduction is one of the problems, and another video about the french revolution and inflation which was really eye opening. It's not the first time any of this has happened, and it doesn't end well.
