Reasons I should or shouldn't leave my bf... Anonymous 106688
>my boyfriend is in the military, conservative, and christian
>I sell acid and grow weed, am a Marxist, and atheist
so, lets begin at the… beginning shall we?
First of all, I'm dedicated to seeing the capitalist system fall apart. I encourage everyone I know to make income in a way that isnt taxable, and help them find ways to survive without being a slave to the system. I am dedicated to seeing all military become obsolete, solving world hunger, legalizing all drug use, doing something about the climate crisis, etc.
When as a conservative, he does not care about any of this. Usually when he speaks his opinions I am just fucking infuriated, and I hate the military so ofc I hate knowing he's in the military. The only good thing about it is that I find the thickheadedness that comes with being stupid enough to be a conservative to be cute.
Earlier I clarified for him that I don't support the military, I don't support capitalism, and I don't support Christianity, and just made sure he knows I AM completely dedicated to my beliefs and will never get a "real" job where I pay taxes because I feel its inherently wrong, because he suggested I find a mcjob instead of selling weed and acid. He kinda squirmed at me saying that but accepted it I think.
I just feel like its going to cause lots of problems down the road though. I love him. I just don't know if this is sustainable or I am setting myself up for lots of trouble down the road. He is really sweet though and it really shows how much he loves me that he's able to see past all our differences and but I wonder, if this could really continue working out forever…

Well, I've been reading some other experiences with men in other threads and tbh, this guy doesn't seem so bad. I want everything to be perfect, but I'll never have that.
there are disagreements but really the fact he's ok with me doing what I do is still more than most can say, especially considering how deeply polarizing the things we disagree on could be. I think unless something unreconcilable happens then I should prob keep him around
on the phone earlier he told me he loves me like 15 times before hanging up and I know he really cares. So despite the possible issues I think I should probly value him a lot. I was also SA'ed before and he is very understanding and doesn't force me to do anything I don't like. Other guys are noticeably pissed if you deny them any of their favorite fetishes

This is just my opinion but I think that opposites don't attract, but explode, at least in relationships. You should seek a partner… part… ner… get it? Part? They need to be a part of your life, and be part of the things you do.
This doesn't mean that opposites won't be able to have healthy relationships… but I just don't see the point.

Attraction between people with diametrically opposing beliefs are more common than you'd think.
As the old saying goes:

would you want a bf who sells acid and grows weed, is a Marxist, and an atheist instead?

>>106688People are more than their political opinions. Politics are just inane little thought experiments by which we assert our sense of selves - they're trivial, at least compared to our personal relations and our personal virtues (empathy, discernment, love, selflessness, and objectivity). When you die, you won't be thinking about that time you longposted about marxism on the internet when you were 20 - you'll think about the people you loved and who loved you back.

nice
But anyway,
>>106975 is right. A relationship with no "trouble down the road" is sterile and boring. Solving problems together is the grist that human connections mill.
The choice you must each make is whether those problems (for example, selling drugs + military) can be overcome, and you must both keep making it as long as you stay together.

Yes you should break up. Its true people are more than their political beliefs but when you cant support something as simple as your boyfriends profession its a problem. Your life seems entrenched in politics and I don't think you could reconcile your beliefs simply bc of how serious you take shit.

>>106998Lol. I imagine her boyfriend like a big saint bernard dog unbothered by the world around him. Meanwhile nona gives cute but rabid street chihuahua vibes.

if your political shitposting is more important to you than your interpersonal relationships, you should not have a boyfriend at all. Just be angry at the news or whatever, while your boyfriend has a family with someone who has a personality beyond their politics.

did any of your political actions ever result in a change that directly improved your life? No. You just like to be angry and feel like you're doing something important.

>>106688you've latched onto vague feel-good ideas like marxism, world peace, "solving world hunger" and of course the climate crisis. you've taken the package deal of standard beliefs every opinionated humanities major college girl holds since the 90s, yet you probably think you formed your own unique world view.
interestingly your boyfriend has done the same thing, just in the context of being male, maybe less educated, raised more christian and somewhat military-adjacent. you're way more alike than you think. you've both just taken on the ideologies you were exposed to repeatedly. the root of your differences is how you've been spending your time. if your boyfriend spent some time around crazy bluehaired people and you spent some time learning to shoot guns you might end up believing all the same things. this is serious advice. don't give up on something real like sexual attraction and companionship in favor of silly ideologies.

>>106688Normally I'd defend the trads, but if he were a real trad he'd be telling you to get pregnant instead of telling you to get a job.
Tradition is incompatible with capitalism anyway.

Op here, I've stopped selling drugs and have kinda sorta converted to christianity. You may say I gave up, but tbh when I found someone that made me happy I realized I don't care about any of this shit. I used to get so angry when I would complain about the existential problems of the world, and he would tell me to just trust god has it under control. But whatever. It makes me feel better. I don't hate the military either, I just thought I did. I was brainwashed I'm realizing, same as him, he's willing to work with me so I'm willing to work with him. Thanks for the replies

Whatever good ideas Marxism may have had in the beginning were certainly lost when it made the transition into the rabid retardation that is Marxism-Leninism
Anonymous 109322
>>109319Marxism never had any good ideas. Or rather, its "good" ideas were always downstream of dialectic materialism which is about as good at describing and predicting real-life phenomena as reading the Bible is. It's antithetical to the very idea of science and its "bad" applications are still perfectly in line with its internal logic.

>>107039Obviously not everything within the realm of politics falls into that category, but teenage "political compass" absolutely does. You're kidding yourself if you think all of these people truly believe in the random words they spout, and you will fail to see what is actually going on.
