      It’s like the “no fap” fad a few years ago. You could see the same christian arguments against sex, it was pathetic.

        That was when I started getting nervous about fascism because all that no-fap stuff is heavily tied to that shit

          That’s really interesting. I remember being really weirded out by those guys and the “wholesome” group and never really understanding why. Just a feeling of disgust and unease

            Any group of guys talking about degeneracy better have Warhammer 40k paraphernalia around them or I’m invoking the ghost of John Brown

              I’m not sure the 40k paraphernalia makes it safer. Lots of 40k fans don’t seem to realize humans aren’t the good guys.

    So because normal urges are repressed, people feel guilty, angry and start doing more if it.

    Reminds me of how some of the most rabid anti-gay activists are caught pants down with another boy.

      They’re both rolled up into predisposition to addictive behavior. If it’s fun and feels good, you’ll do too much of it.

          Yeah, chemical dependence actually ends in a couple weeks for most (all?) drugs. It’s just that whoever’s life might suck too much to bear sober.
