    Has anyone tried scattering sesame seeds everywhere? As a vampire, capitalism will be compelled to stop and count them all and we can get away while it's not looking.

    Uhhh maybe, society as a whole invited it in? Because it was an improvement over feudalism in some ways, it sucker punched us

    Never let the British build a trading post in your country. No exceptions.

      Well the thing is, the Portuguese just came in and built their posts anyways and straight up claimed lordship over an entire ocean and pirated everything. Then the dutch come along and were like, "we'll get rid of these assholes if you let us have their trading posts". But then they were still assholes who break deals and do genocide just for some nuts. So then the these other white folk come along and you hope their less of an asshole...

    Uh, because all transactions in capitalism are, in a formal sense, voluntary contracts!

      I always saw vampires (at least in Bram Stoker) as a metaphor for the slowly decaying aristocratic class in Europe. There's a good scene in Nosferatu where Orlock is setting his own chairs at the table, which would be unthinkable for a noble to perform the work of servants, but he's left with no other options. Has to keep up the illusion of pageantry.

      And that's how I see the invitation thing. Vampires keep up the pageantry and pomp of noble, refined, aristocratic behavior while themselves being decaying undead corpse people feasting on blood. They keep up the hollow shell of pleasantries and manners. They respect your property rights while not respecting the right to keep your blood inside your body.

    I never understood people who find vampires hot. Most people don't wanna fuck blood parasites or corpses, so why does combining those two things suddenly make them appealing?

      For me a few assumptions are made:

      • Theyre not corpses they just need to drink blood
      • Mind control
      • Bites inject something that has an aphrodisiac effect
      • Theyre playing the field and not killing anyone
      • a lot stronger than you

      But I'm big les so liking vampires is a part of my culture

      Probably a mix between fetishizing tragic immortality and something tangential to a vore kink and its pred/prey dynamic.

    As a Sovereign Citizen, the corporation that is currently identified with the GOVERNment of the UNITED STATES (pay attention to the capitalization, it’s important) can only exercise power over you with your CONSENT. This is why it’s important to never sign your name to any government document. Doing so is tantamount to “inviting” the government vampire to control your life.

    vampires are just a way to do pedophilia stories without, y'know, the thing. i mean look at epstein, dude's basically a vampire minus the ability to fly and turn into a bat.
