general politics

i would like to make it absolutely sure

when i'm saying that corruption, nepotism, the necessity of making hard choices, etc. will remain a thing under a socialist society just like in a capitalist one, i am not saying that socialism is inherently bad or won't fix the current society's problems

just that no society is invulnerable to these problems in the long run

capitalism itself, at some point, was a revolutionary movement that solved a lot of problems in feudalist societies

(and, for some "socialist" countries in the late 20th century, capitalism then was a solution to their problems)

right now, the abusers and the oligarchs know how to obtain the necessary resources, connections, etc. to gain power under capitalism's rules

in any other society, they'd be figuring out how to do the same under its rules (much like stalin did in the soviet union)

there is never going to be one perfect system that only needs to be protected and never questioned

porn / sex thought

so i got this app, "tribler", which is basically a torrent client (based on the same library as qBitTorrent, which is the best one available) that also has a built-in anonymization network and search engine that allows you to look up what other users of the same app are up- or downloading

you can find movies, tv shows, games, and, of course, a lot of porn

but since the search only happens by title, you don't get a lot of control over what you receive at the end in that last situation

apart from the obvious things that i instantly delete asap upon seeing, one other big turn-off that i noticed, at least for myself, is stuff where any of the participants are being abused or degraded

maybe for some people it's part of the fantasy, but... ugh
