It's really fucking common in the internet wild. It's even common offline.

"Just pack up your entire life and move out of here if you don't like it here. No one is holding a gun to your head to stay." smuglord

Oh, I did, but it took years of planning, preparation, savings, and an early retirement with the penalties that entailed. There was no gun, but I couldn't whisk myself out of Bazinga Land in CA any faster than I could sell a flooded house to Aquaman.

That's it. That's the post. No one held a gun to my head to post this, but I did it anyway.

    getting coerced into "sugar daddy" arrangements where they have nowhere else to go and are expected to have sex with their effective landlords.

      That's the beauty of denying people the human right of housing. You can create all sorts of great scenarios to trap women in sexually abusive situations. This is how the right gets STEMLords laid.

        This is also how domestically violent grillman types maintained their abusive and toxic family arrangements for decades without challenge.

            It's the rock-solid spiritual core of the MAGA movement, I nonjokingly believe: monsters that feel their cozy little monster lairs feeling vaguely threatened by the possibility of change. grill-broke

        I'm glad someone else knows about that death camp gate slogan getting flung around as profound unspecified ancient wisdom too. yea
