brezhnev era biography of Anthony Eden, 1st Earl of Avon, former PM who has a reputaion for being "anti-appeasement" despite having been pro appeasement. Its pretty good at laying out british foriegn policy in the run up to 1939, but its got that late USSR thing where every so often theres a bit that ends "...this was perfectly in line with lenin's theory of the peaceful co-existence of states with different social systems", the peace be upon him of soviet revisionism

lol my one thing to do today was go to the bookstore and pick it up but i guess i don't have to now

i heard an interview on the CBC the other day with the author of 'blitzed', a book about how the nazis were high all the time, and i'm gonna go get that instead because it has to be in the S-tier of book titles

i'm reading arundhati roy's latest and more than anything it reminds me of discipline's light novel "spooks" and lgp's novel. it's weird and bad as art how she gloms together and confuses every struggle in india but maybe also a necessary polemic

“Sexual patterns that have emerged as a result of the decline of monogamy have seen a greater level of sexual choice for an elite of men and a growing celibacy among a large male population at the bottom of the pecking order.”

so this person is masquerading as a critique of anime nazis while promoting some of their deepest cuts as true, that's really cool

#14610
and not even using that to take the cheap shot of arguing that part of this is about the economy crowning a bunch of nerds who can't get over high school as king of the petty bourgeois and/or the starkest imaginable form of labor aristocracy, shameful
#14611
I solemnly vow to never get over high school.

my objection to the quoted statement is that it's a gussied up version of "the problem with the world is that vapid bitches don't appreciate nice guys." don't know if that has anything to do with what you're talking about

If she'd used a bunch of Marxist jargon you'd get it immediately

decline of monogamy -> liminal emergence of polygamy via control of economy, perceptions of survival chance -> elite men create divided stockpile of libidinal energy, monetarily gated social activity becomes a castrating pursuit for poor men and an economic activity for women across class divisions -> elites then rechannel the male half of the equation onto an other once potentiated -> congratulations this is the real character of fascism as a movement

anime nazis are just the extreme low, this can encompass any broke mfer, whatever stated political affiliation

nah

i started reading Listen Liberal and it's good but one thing it doesn't mention is how twitter has imo helped leftism not particularly because of anything anyone on the left says but rather because liberal-managerialism relies on the illusion of apolitical meritocratic competence and this idea can't persist when one sees that the elite opinionmakers are actually complete morons

Delayed age of marriage + economic insecurity has lead to young ppl who are already fucking to fuck more widely & some of them are calling that "polyamorous" now instead of "casual" but actual polyamorists are mostly lower middle class grossos, in my experience. I don't buy that rich people are forming harems. Also actual poor people (rather than economically insecure but not actually poor emotionally & technologically isolated fail children) historically manage to fuck even if they aren't getting married.
#14620
The idea of monogamy as a classist invention to provide middle & working class men with wifes is something with some vague merit somewhere in there but I only ever hear about it from PUAs so my final verdict is weird latter day evopsych style just-so story. In particular it's used in those circles to promote what they see as short term attractive behaviors (ie things that get you sex) like having a thick neck and being rude, over long term attractive behaviors (finding WIFE) like having a house and wearing dockers.

Thus when monogamous marriage first makes its appearance in history, it is not as the reconciliation of man and woman, still less as the highest form of such a reconciliation. Quite the contrary. Monogamous marriage comes on the scene as the subjugation of the one sex by the other; it announces a struggle between the sexes unknown throughout the whole previous prehistoric period. In an old unpublished manuscript, written by Marx and myself in 1846, I find the words: “The first division of labor is that between man and woman for the propagation of children.” And today I can add: The first class opposition that appears in history coincides with the development of the antagonism between man and woman in monogamous marriage, and the first class oppression coincides with that of the female sex by the male. Monogamous marriage was a great historical step forward; nevertheless, together with slavery and private wealth, it opens the period that has lasted until today in which every step forward is also relatively a step backward, in which prosperity and development for some is won through the misery and frustration of others. It is the cellular form of civilized society, in which the nature of the oppositions and contradictions fully active in that society can be already studied.

People really are fucking less along due to social atomization. Huge amounts of people live alone now in a historically unprecedented fashion, and loneliness is very normal. I also suspect the rich might fuck more, for the same reasons they generally do drugs and party more.
