You Can’t Afford My Radical Life

I had a revealing conversation recently with a student at an elite university. He said that when he sets his Tinder radius to five miles, about half of the women, mostly other students, said they were “polyamorous” in their bios. Then, when he extended the radius to 15 miles to include the rest of the city and its outskirts, about half of the women were single mothers. The costs created by the luxury beliefs of the former are borne by the latter.

  1. The delusion that they are intelligent and superior seems to expand as their useless education progresses. Intelligence, knowledge and wisdom are different things and are rarely found in the same package.

    1. @Clearsky:
      At first I took it to mean ‘bisexual’. That perked my interest.
      Then I saw your definition.

  2. In Massachusetts, Brookline, Wellsly( Swellsly), Newton( Snoot’n) , Cambridge and the other liberal towns vote soft on crime. Because it hurts them. Not crime as these are exclusive, white, Volvo communities. You know the type. Now the working class, lower and middle class and even the majority of the welfare towns, that are the majority in the state, want these, often of them, males dead. The murders, rapists, pedophiles dead. Ot at least put away for decades or life.

    That is what the yupper income liberals can’t handle. The decision. They are physical cowards, and weak.
    So they as advocates, but really defenders of their feelings, lawyers who profit, liberal judges who preen they send these back amongst the majority to commit more crimes while they live comfortably numb in their picturesque white clipboard houses, Volvos, Golden Retrievers and their summer houses in Martha’s Vineyard.

  3. So the budding members of the parasite class figure out what it is fashionable to believe—i.e. what it is convenient for the few thousand people who control everything to have their useful idiots believe—and then believe that too.

    They don’t actually care. They just want a reason to feel superior on the poor workers and peasants who work like dogs to put bread on the table, hand over half their pay in taxes so the woke can stuff themselves with quinoa and avocado toast, and do all the dying in war. They rarely, if ever, face the consequences of their bad ideas.

    When the workers and peasants of the western world actually take back control—an event it is fashionable for the woke to claim to support, but few actually want, for probably obvious reasons—you won’t hear another word about polyamory, intersectionality or cisgenderism.

    You’ll hear a lot more about loyalty and accountablity, as well as chastity.

    1. It’s ALL virtue signaling … nothing more. All the lilywhite suburban moms in my very well heeled suburb … love to show how they carrrreeee for the downtrodden. They want all the black “kids” released from jail … cause they’re only there because they’re “black” … they were jailed by racists doncha know. And all drugs should be legalized … cause marijuana is a magical medicine! And they especially want all women … ESP. Hunter Biden’s baby mama to have access to FREE abortions! Now hurry-Up and suck that little crackhead baby Biden out your womb sistah! Say! I really LOVE my Tesla S Model … I don’t understand how all you cave men still drive those smelly old fossil fuel cars. My exhaust doesn’t stink. In fact, I have no exhaust. Elon magically made my car from Unicorn poop.

      This is what we’ve replaced church and community with … social preening and virtue signaling. And an overflowing measure of self-esteem such that EVERYTHING is about me me me !!

      And the children are even worse

  4. Oh course single mothers live in the outskirts. Young women in Tinder are either having fun (students) or trying to catch a man (many single mothers).

    I don’t see the connection (first polyamorous, then single mother). I think the polyamorous ppl will use contraceptives and abortion instead of dropping out of the elite university.

    I love you people, but sometimes I realise I’m more a realist than just a traditional conservative.

    1. You are overlooking that those single mothers are single for a reason. Many men no longer take responsibility for begetting and rearing children. That is why abortion is called a “women’s” issue, as though men have nothing to do with a pregnancy. Really, things are way out of whack.

      1. Men actually don’t have anything to do with pregnancy. Men breed on demand. That demand is determined by women. Why would a man ever consider supporting a women and her litter when she breeds freely with random men like him?

    2. a closeted realist is an oxymoron, and you appear to exemplify the moron part any ways. With your thinking there would be no single mothers at all, but most men like bare back, so there are a lot of unscheduled pregnancies, which no one wants the expense of raising

      1. You are excused from ‘you people’.

        Believe me, the elite school students won’t get pregnant and move to outskirts. They’re mostly school dropouts instead.

        Well, maybe Canada has stupid students in elite schools? No? I’m voting for bare meat being a suicidal idea, after Tindering specifically.

  5. At a societal level, stupidity is one more luxury item. The rich find so many ways to rationalize getting the poor to subsidize the lifestyle of the rich, wether that be taxpayer funded handouts to “the arts” — invariably the types of entertainment enjoyed by the wealthy, or the plethora of government jobs with their gold-plated pensions that return no real added value for the working stiffs forced to fund them. “Woke” ideas are a further abuse of the power of the wealthy used to get a pat on the back at a cocktail party at the expense of the working class individuals who have to pay the price. It’s a disgusting and shameful abuse of power.

  6. I don’t know anything about polyamory (but since when has that stopped me from commenting) but I strongly suspect the women in university who are polyamorous are not the same women a few years later who are single moms. I further suspect the polyamorous women in university are women who simply want more than one male relationship (at the same time) and probably have no plans on getting pregnant or keeping an unwanted fetus. The single mothers on Tinder probably never made it near university and went straight to motherhood. So I’m calling BS on the polyamorous to single mother theme here.

    I also suspect that women like Ms Penny simply can’t get a man (because they are fat, ugly and have purple hair and lots of fish tackle in their face). These women claiming to be polyamorous is a joke. They are trapped in a single person relationship (i.e. with themselves).

  7. Thoughts; so far, on the Impeachment program today Nov 21-2019.
    Mr.Holmes; the note taker for the Dept. of State in Ukraine. Reminds me of a time buying groceries in an American Grocery Store; —- A young man, about 27-30 years of age during an eight p.m. trip with his wife and kids to buy groceries fro the Family. The young man was still in His work clothes and appeared to be tired from a long hard construction job. ___ I at about the same age, experienced long hard constrution exhaustion.___ My paraphrase of the words the young man said to his wife is as follows after listening to Mr. Holmes reading of the well prepared opening statement at the impeachment; “Take the S**t out of your voice and you will be heard”.— This tone of hurt is what Mr. Holmes reading of the opening statement reminded me of; “take the S**t out of your voice and you will be heard”.

    1. Holmes just saw an Opportunity to advance himself… It was the PHD that had “absolute” opinions on all things Ukrainian…..She is a Wonk freak ….The fact that Russians were trying to influence the USA elections does not diminish the Ukrainian attempts to do the same….. The UK spy Steel also interfered in the Election (The Government of the UK didn’t care about that)….Lots of individuals seemed to have a common goal…..

  8. The take-away is that it looks like the sweet spot there is the 5-15 mile radius. Single moms…especially in their 30’s are exceptionally good at…things.
