It's 2026! It's almost 2027!

What the heck is wrong with a group of people that all love and support each other? It sounds great!

If people didn't judge it so badly I would have realised that it's what I want a lot sooner.

EDIT: I haven't read the comments yet why are there so many... oh... oh no

Should I have prefaced this by saying I mean healthy, non-patriarchal polycules? I thought that would have been obvious. The fact that people defaulted to thinking I meant Mormon style with one dude and a bunch of waifus is kind of what I meant when I said people get the wrong idea about it.

I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm not mad because struggle sessions over unexpected things are pretty funny. But it's a little disappointing too, I guess.

How is being poly reducing unecessary harm? Is it immune to creating new types of harm? If so how and why? How is it at all equivalent to millions of animals dying every day strictly for carnal pleasure?

Monogamy and carnism are part of none white cultures. They arent exclusive to white supremacy.

It's not a better way to live. It's just a different way to live. You are allowed to do things that are outside of societal norms without pretending it makes you better than everyone else.

    Calling monogamy white supremacy is wild. TIL I’m not brown but a white supremacist for being married to one person.

    He's full of shit anyway because the most patriarchal societies were polygamous. Are we seriously entertaining the idea that a society where women could be concubines are somehow freer than what we have now? I guess some random Tang emperor with thousands of concubines is the model of what all polyamorous relationships aspire towards.

  • Are you seriously equating polyam people with "some random Tang emperor"? What kind of bad faith bullshit is that? And then you make up scenarios in another thread about how this could lead to the CIA doing polywashing to justify imperialism and how that's a totally real concern we should take seriously. Please go and touch grass, this is disgraceful.

    If people were good at monagmy this wouldn't be an issue. Most people have trouble with it most of the time. Look at the divorce rates, spousal abuse rates, rates of cheating. If it was socially possible to chose another way many people would do better with this seccond option.

    Carnism is an artificially enforced hierarchy based. Patriarchy is an artificially enforced hierarchy. Our cultural practice of monogamy is based on patriarchy and white supremacy and the sheer volume of failures we see of it proves we have not unleaded enough to do it generally healthfully. Taken as a generalizable social norm polymorphism giving people freedom to explore their emotional needs would reduce many of the observed social harms we see

    I am infact sincere that I believe that a general cultural practice of polyamoury would have less negative outcomes than our practice of monogamy does. Similar to how a general social practice of veganism would have less negative social outcomes than we see now.

    Because I feel like I am making a generally compelling argument that people should be allowed to choose how many partners they would like to try to keep in their lives

    At what point do you find any my arguments not compelling? I get you don't like them, and possibly me, but that does not meet the standard of evidence here

    I'm not entertaining you anymore. I have been more than clear. If you reply to me in tjis thread again i'm just gonna block you. Maybe someone else can get through. Your arguments were bad and you invalidated them by implying you were trolling, so now your sincerity is in question and no matter how much you insist you are being sincere that wont change. So either way you're wrong and being an asshole, i'm not certain which path you took in your heart but they lead to the same conclusion. Youre either trolling or a legit sanctimonious asshole and thats a difference without distinction
