Drugs are imported into the United States, then the importers sell the drugs, people get hooked and they start spreading the drugs to their friends, and so on.
Pornography is the same way, teenagers are sexually active and big hollywood porn corporations put an image out there, and some guy gets hooked, and starts spreading it to his friends and so on.
Education is made by the government. We get educated and we spread that knowledge to the next generation and so on.
.
All bad habits are created by corporations, but good habits can also be passed on, like bad ones.
All addiction is borne from alienation. See the famous "Rat Park" experiment. There's a comic about it to make it easy to understand. stuartmcmillen.com/comic/rat-park/
Adrian Fisher
Will someone please read this comic regarding the "Rat Park" experiment that proves addiction is directly caused by alienation and atomization and tell me their thoughts….please…
Adrian Lopez
It looks interesting.
Ayden Reyes
School doesn't make you smart, school makes you better informed
Nathaniel Rogers
Nice. There should be more comics like this.
Like the guy with the comic link said, alienation create addiction. I may add that capitalism in general and specificly consumerist culture create alienation. One of the most important and difficult tasks of the socialists will be eradicate consumerist culture or cultural capitalism, if they can meme us we can meme better. Why no one created a counter meme like this to cultural marxism yet?
Jose Roberts
What's next, are you going to call me a degenerate?
Carson Howard
I can only feel sorry for you.
Jordan James
On second note, pornography may have existed for thousands of years, but capitalists actually have perverted and exploited pornography.
Christopher Perry
Sure, i guess they can, but the problem is on the age of internet, people, especially children, are exposed to such material and it becomes a desire, an addiction.
And it falsely shows how sex really works. You're not hovering in 3rd person during sex (exception: pov) and it can change your views of women in general, thinking of them as only sexual objects.
You might see it as just something that makes you feel good, but for a lot of people, it controls them and manipulates their moral compass.
Joseph Cruz
Good.
Xavier Young
That sounds a lot more like a problem of upbringing than being exposed to pornography.
Andrew Lewis
Now you're sounding like a troll from Holla Forums or Holla Forums
Cooper Rogers
M8 I was referring to you changing your position.
Josiah Cruz
And how is this unrelated to my position?
David Phillips
Because you are blaming it on the pornography instead of the lack of parenting. If anything at all, it simply fills the void that shitty parenting left.
Charles Price
And the porn industry doesn't help it at all.
Just because you and others are currently into it doesn't justify the industry.
Adrian Taylor
Also Lmao. Maybe a few kids who get into it young will think this. But even without good parenting, they will eventually understand porn is from the point of view of a camera, even in POV.
Jacob Perez
Also, if you were implying porn isn't responsible for objectifying women or confusing children sexually, I don't know if you're a serious poster or not.
Aaron Wood
I'm not justifying the industry. I'm justifying the concept. There is nothing wrong with the concept, just how it is marketed and manipulated by capitalists.
Andrew Hall
I didnt mean literally think thats how it works.
I meant people, even adults, will expect to see the entire body set like in porn while they are having sex.
Jordan Wilson
Not reproducable. Making it less than worthless.
Andrew Ward
It almost feels like *you* are the pol troll.
Carter Rodriguez
The porn industry? Probably. Where are you even getting this idea. Pornography in it's pure form (Specifically, amateur) can be the most informational thing a sexually illiterate person can view.
Are you just pulling this out of your ass to be anti-porn? No adult of average intelligence (Or even really below average, really) would imagine that you are supposed to see sex from the third person. A chimp probably has the spacial intelligence to understand a screen is showing a camera's point of view, not a person's.
Ryan Gonzalez
Do you ever get that hot-headed feeling when you're in the middle of a video that tells you you shouldn't be doing this, but you're already caught in the moment so you continue and also continue hot-headed and aroused at the same time?
I may be wrong, but you sound like the person who wants to enjoy life in the moment and do anything that can make you feel good with ease and 'without work.'
Thing is, even in Communism, you should still be productive. Happiness doesn't come on an artificial silver platter. Communism is against corporate feudalism, not productivity of work. It promotes EQUAL wealth, not anti-work.
The reason I don't feel porn or weed is good is because while you can say "oh it's ok in small doses", it's still counterproductive.
I will admit I look at porn too sometimes, but I regret it immediately afterwards, and then I do it again, and then take a break for a few weeks….
…but imagine a world where theres no porn or weed, and we can live happily without needing these stimulis and just live natural and productive lives.
Justin Rivera
I'd also like to add that the porn industry objectifies literally anyone in porn.
Levi Sullivan
Can't say I do. You're wrong by the way.
Dylan Thompson
That too, but what I really meant is it makes porn users see women as objects. It's meant to get your dick hard and nothing else, and if it was truly deep, it wouldnt exist because it wouldnt be recorded, unless theres a peeping tom but that's like 1 in 100,000
Im saying it makes some, not all, but some people have high standards in sex, brcause of the camera angles and the positions combined.
Adam Allen
You should probably go to /r/Socialism. You'll get much more agreement there.
William Bell
I would like to ask, why are you defending your porn so much? Is it really that important to you to start a debate on why porn is not bad because you like it?
Sebastian Baker
It's just fucking porn. It's shit, anyone can admit it.
Why does porn touch your heart so dearly?
Jaxon Torres
The same question could be reversed to you, why do you care so much about what people do alone in their bedroom? I don't want it banned by some tankies and to have nothing but my imagination to guide me.
Blake Reed
I guess you're right
It comes down to me just personally disliking it. I personally feel better using my inagination because I feel less guilt and less perverted when I use imagination alone.
I guess for me it's lack of control, brcause tour inagination can't control what you see on screen.
Landon Martin
There you go. Realize that not everyone is like you. I'm not very imaginatory. And I don't have the same bad feelings you do. Are you religious, or were you instilled with religious values growing up? It almost sounds like religious indoctrination.
Brayden Hill
Religion has nothing to do with this.
I had this similar argument months ago but with multiple people, and they all asked if I was religious.
Lucas Wright
I mean, sure, religion is against objectifying women, but it isn't the ONLY cause of why people dislike porn.
Ethan Thomas
You said maybe it's religion that makes me feel bad from it, but someone could also say you don't feel bad from it because you've watched it so many times.
Carson Wright
It was simply a question, no harm intended. I am only trying to understand why you think this way. Were the people who raised you fairly conservative when it comes to pornography and/or sex?
Zachary James
Or I just don't see anything wrong with human sexuality. It's probably the only thing you can call "human nature".
Brayden Morgan
I honestly don't know. Even though its not real, I still feel like I shouldn't be seeing this.
I feel maybe its because I feel like a peeping ton, or maybe that I don't deserve it.
The only thing my parents ever did was acknowledge they found porn on my phone/computer when I was 13 and told me not to do that.
Joshua Anderson
But even when my parents were chill when telling me not to do it, I was still fucking terrified by it.
I felt embarrased, I felt like an animal. Nothing taught me to feel this way.
Colton Scott
Sorry for internet psycho-analysing you, but could it possibly be that your position (At least partially, not to dismiss any disagreements you have) stems from your unconscious fear of being caught and being told you are doing wrong? Also, we are animals. The idea that we are something more IS religious morality.
Ryder Allen
Porn simply turns you off, it's beneath you then. You probably satisfy yourself in other ways, brush it off as a matter of taste and you won't get weird looks anymore.
Carson Lee
Porn does turn me on though, thats the thing, yet I still get unconfortable feelings when watching it.
Adam Perez
Actually, now that I think about it more, the reason I don't like it is because I have a subconscious cuck feeling when watching two people making love. Or maybe it's because I'm expecting something better but it turns out what I saw was worse than predicted, or I feel like I shouldn't do this. Just what I feel.
Blake Jackson
and why are parents so shit all of a sudden? Could it be something to do with the capitalist mode of production and social atomization?
Nathan Scott
Solo clips. There are also some solo videos where the viewer is spoken directly to. Just a recommendation.
Landon Ward
What ever happened to
Jace Wood
Omg look at how you sound at the end.
Human beings are more sophisticated than "sex sex sex" jesus christ. Are you sure porn doesn't make users objectify women?
Carson Evans
I meant to say human relationships also.
And also, porn is not an accurate version of sex.
Robert Robinson
I never said that is all there is to human beings. I simply stated it is a core element. If it wasn't, there wouldn't be billions of us. Depends on the video really. There are some videos where both males and females are treated like sexual objects because some people fetishize that. Do I think that porn inherently objectifies women? No, that's silly. Professional scripted porn, sure.
Brayden Butler
I'm not sure what you're getting at.
Xavier Brown
Sex is a personal experience between two people, not an experience between a video
All porn promotes objectifying women. Is this really a debate? You're watching a women for their hot body. - Or are you trying ro make porn justified and right, so you can feel better about being trapped in your negative addiction?
Porn will never be accurate, professional or not. Why do you keep telling yourself all these things? To feel better about yourself? Porn will never be accurate because it isn't even what sex is.
Almost every responsible adult knows porn is a horrible thing. And I'll admit I watch it sometimes, and I feel shameful afterwards.
Christopher White
Unrelated, but why did me mentioning porn addiction in the OP inspire you to start this debate?
You really cant accept that porn is bad can you? Every responsible adult would side with anti-porn.
Cooper Robinson
And do you know which religious group runs them?
You are a fuckless, socially inept degenerate.
Bentley Morris
Has there ever been any proof for this? The rise of porn to its current day magnificent heights has in fact gone hand in had with a rise in women's rights, a decline of rape, and so on. Seems like muh common sense garbage.
Sebastian Adams
Correlation =/= causation
Carter Rogers
You don't even provide correlation, just a naked assertion.
Tyler Lewis

Carson Russell
WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND I JUST DONT LIKE IT??:!?!?!?

holy shit this thread
Owen Roberts
Its weird how erotica and "porn" which is actually just erotica has existed since the dawn of mankind yet every single couple of years we get a new panic campaign against it with various backers, this time being the LDS church and the multi-billion dollar addiction industry. And while criticizing the porn industry and how it backs capitalism is perfectly acceptable the inability to look at the history of "pornography" and who you might be supporting by taking a puritanical stance on erotica.
What is the underlying reasoning for the "imagination" line? I keep hearing this line again and again and there doesn't appear to have any basis for it, how does imagining a sexually explicit image in your head with your minds eye, especially for those with a very active imagination differ from seeing one with your real eye? There is the reasoning "well it cant compare to what you can see on the internet" how so? If one puts his mind to it it is easy to conjure up as many erotic imagery in your minds eye as a porn artist could after all where does erotica come from if not the sexual imagination of the people who create it? Somewhere down the line somebody will have had to conjure it up for it to be placed into the world and indeed the more you hang out with the porn addiction community the more you start to see that even masturbation to your imagination isn't "good" there is an emphasis on how you should only imagine "realistic" scenarios and not "porn" scenarios so not all imaginations are okay you need to have the "right" imagination make sure your imagination is "right" or else your an addict. When you look at it from this point, it becomes really hard to not see it as a resurgence of puritanism or puritanical ideas.
Colton Ramirez
Porn and drugs are both terrible and will be destroyed under socialism.
Brandon Anderson
I responded again
You're an asshole for asking this question, especially when I told you its a personal preference.
Ever thought some people arent as sexually desiring adn horny as you?
Tyler Kelly

Lincoln Hill
Yah, complete shitshow. Amazing. "I don't like porn therefore it's bad. Also I feeld shame after jerking" "Dude r u religious" "REEEEEEEEEEEE"
