    the core concepts of sports aren't bad. playing is fun. more playing! including of sports I guess!

    its the myth making in how we enjoy them that's the problem, and intimately bound with capitalism and the myth of the discrete individual separate from their material conditions.

      this sounds fine if you frame it like “I just like good sportsmanship and playing on a team” people will super duper be on board.

      just dont get all weird when telling this to a an average working person is apolitical maybe. sometimes it feels like it we are begging them to run to conservatives lol

        hey, this seems a little close to tone policing. this isn't a space for dialogue with moderates, and that's why it doesn't sound like one. if you would like it to sound like one, might I suggest buying some high end sex toys, spending some time getting to know yourself, and then coming back to the conversation?

        its problematic shit, and unless you're talking about yourself (in which case: buy cheap ones instead, or use household objects like a lightbulb and literally anything from /r/dontputyourdickinthat) this really really isn't the place. when im trying to talk to dumbfuck mushbrained libs, ill talk to dumbfuck moderate mushbrained libs. my thoughts and internal articulation, as expressed here, will be as they are.
