It’s not illegal, but it’s still weird, creepy and potentially harmful and no amount of lambasting about “the problematic age gap discourse” will make it not true.
Everyone under the age of 25 should be strapped to a booster seat and given a binky and a rattle
Struggle session not related to the revolution, struggle session for its own sake, is useless.

Kim is wrong about this on art. Art for its own sake is important and is one of the reasons for the revolution, to free art from the constrains of capitalism and needing to make money.
Art for it’s own sake is pure idealism, anti-materialist, and bourgeoisie self-indulgence.
Art cannot exist for its own sake because all art exists in a historical context. The idea that art is or even can be some pure self-expression, some kind of raw creative exercise, is quite literally the height of idealism.
All art is in fact an act of communication rooted in shared experience, history, and biology. Denying this is engaging in bourgeoisie idealism. It’s a pretense that meaning exists or can exist in the abstract divorced from the material. It’s a pretense that the value of a thing exists or can exist in the thing rather than it’s function for a human or for humanity. This is why art “for its own sake” is idealism, because art cannot be for its own sake and engaging in the myth that it can be for its own sake is anti-material anti-scientific anti-dialectic idealism.
All art is an act of communication and denying the communicative function of a specific work of art is denying that something is being communicated. A denial of responsibility for the communication. Recognizing that all art has a communicative function places a burden upon the artist to be conscious of what they are communicating.

Brb gonna go tell my neice the finger painting she made this weekend is bourgeoise self-indulgence
someday we will study what drives people to constantly start conversations with random strangers about who should and should not be having sex, imagining all the details that make them angry and constantly proposing new rules about it
Leftists: “What two consenting adults do in the bedroom is not anyone else’s business.”
Also leftists: This
I mean, power dynamics are something that needs to be considered to make a healthy relationship, but all relationships have power dynamics. I mean, the power dynamics between men and women in general is likely more intense than the specific gap that of a 26 year old and a 19 year old.
Heterosexuality is not something we can get rid of, much as I dislike it. Dating someone who’s barely an adult so not a requirement of your biology.
You can drink at 18 years old in most countries.
Fucking hell, most people were drinking every weekend in highschool Fake IDs everywhere. Still remember the dude that put minoxidil cream on his face to try grow a beard so he could look older and go clubbing during the school holidays.
This is why children should be locked in safety cages until they’re old enough to drink responsibly
Be an adult, shackle your young :the-more-you-know:
Honestly the older I get the more I resonate with the whole “teenagers scare the living shit out of me” stuff.
Fuck it I’ll be a full on boomer by 30
Most countries have lower drinking ages than 21.
I’d make a different rule
If you haven’t poo’d your pants in public you aren’t ready for the responsibilities of a civil society and are therefore not allowed to vote?
