I'm not saying adults insisting they only need to read YA and watch children's cartoons is leading to this culture wide phobia of sex which in turn is becoming a useful vector for the increasing spread of fascism except that is exactly what I'm saying.

This is such a great thread. Read it; it’s worth it.

It articulates something I’ve been attempting to express for a while about the neoliberalization and Taylorization of the human mind and spirit. When I’ve asserted things like that people should be able to find romance at work, should be able to have sex just for fun, should be able to act as more than robots in public life, and should be able to just enjoy things in general, even some of my friends have pushed back.

But though they are my friends, they are wrong. Life is more than what your boss thinks of you and how sweet that 4% raise is gonna be. At least it should be. And it could be if we made it that way.
