#aspe(ttalk 2/12 - blood there’s a number of sa7ing about blood. in the blood. blood brothers. bad blood. blood is thi(ker than water. what these shamelessl7 (herr7 pi(ked sa7ings all have in (ommon is that the7 relate to 7ou and other people. and, similarl7, the aspe(t blood is about 7our relationships with others. some of 7ou immediatel7 thought about 7our partners, didn’t 7ou, reading that? the rush of affe(tion 7ou have for them. well, stop it. those feelings aren’t part of blood b7 itself. feelings fall under the domain of heart (whi(h is gonna be the last one, in (ase an7one was wondering about m7 interpretation of m7 personal aspe(t). and se(ond, relationships (over far, far more than 7our romanti( partners. so, 7ou strip the feelings from a relationship, and what do 7ou have left? the obligation. the responsibilit7. a relationship doesn’t survive on emotion alone! if 7ou love someone and don’t do an7thing with it, 7ou’re just pining from a distan(e. a relationship requires being there. 7our a(tual a(tions being affe(ted b7 their presen(e. a distortion to 7our a(tual life. getting 7ourself up to go (hallenge 7our kismesis even if 7ou’re tired. not going to see the movie 7ou wanted to be(ause 7our friend is hanging out. pulling 7ourself out of 7our (upe to go tend to 7our s(reaming neighbor. blood demands 7ou do the work. even if it’s a bad idea, even. 7ou and that shithead on (hittr 7ou’re arguing with have a relationship, and to do things the blood wa7 would be to keep engaging with them even if it benefits neither of 7ou. some of 7ou might be skepti(al of m7 anal7sis at this point. “n7rita, 7ou sex7 goddess, take me now,” 7ou sa7, “but before 7ou do, 7ou’re making it sound like relationships are things that hold 7ou ba(k!” to whi(h i repl7 - the7 are! blood is one of the five destru(tive aspe(ts, and to be in a relationship is to be bound. but perhaps another word for bound is “an(hored”. and the right relationship is worth a little less freedom, bindings that pull 7ou up rather than keep 7ou down.
what a wild thing to drop on this post spe(ifi(all7. i would love to hear how 7ou think that’s relevant
if you believe relations+ips are destructive you do not know t+e value of collective bargaining building coalitions unionizing really any basic concepts t+at would actually allow for t+e proletariat to +ave t+e power to seize t+e means of production
ohhh, i see, i see. this all might be irrelevant to 7ou, but lemme disabuse a notion or two an7wa7s. blood as a destru(tive aspe(t is just fa(t. that’s just how it is, that’s not m7 opinion. where 7ou’re going wrong, here, is assuming what, in fa(t, is being destro7ed. freedom is being destro7ed be(ause 7ou gotta go to the meetings and mar(h and (onsider 7our fellow man. that’s a limitation! thats blood. but destru(tive doesn’t mean bad, either. what 7ou do with that destru(tion (an result in good things too, espe(iall7 when 7ou mix in other stuff. the whole “work together with 7our fellow troll to make a better world” is a prime example. if that’s something 7ou fo(us on, that is. i don’t, be(ause 7ou were bang on the mone7 that i’m not a (ommunist
two paragrap+s to tell me you dont know w+at t+e word destructive means and t+at your quadrants are more t+an likely empty w+y bot+er wearing t+e mask of a rebel if you like t+e taste of rubber
i was right, 7ou do have no wa7 of understanding. sorr7, but i used up m7 allotment of energ7 for (orre(ting people atta(king strawmen of me alread7, so 7ou’ll have to find someone else to tell 7ou to go fu(k 7ourself.
K--<yeah this is true as a bloodbound
