  • Non-democratic/psudo-democratic socialism/communism: “You’re paying for this service whether you want it or not. There is no motivation to make a quality product.”

    Democratic socialism/communism: “Well, only 60% of you care about this enough to vote. We’ll put some funds into it, but definitely not what it needs. And oh dang, everyone hates it now, guess we’ll defund it.”

    Edit: I’m not disagreeing with OP. Capitalism sucks too. Socialism and Communism *can* suck. It depends on the governing body. There are good examples of all three economic systems working and bad examples of all three screwing people over. I’m anarchist and believe good systems will eventually fall to corrupt politicians if safeguards are not in place to prevent it, and there’s a bunch of sneaky intentional and unintentional loopholes to sneak in power grabs.















  • There are definitely women who like and appreciate a partner like that. Particularly, demi-sexual women would absolutely love a supportive and caring partner. Pansexual women could too. Many women may not realize they’re demi or pan and don’t usually advertise themselves as such, but they are there.

    I myself don’t act very masculine and don’t relate well with other men. I identify as the gender apathetic flavor of non-binary. Not being masculine or feminine in mannorisms. I appear male, but like you, my mannerisms are gentle and caring. I definitely have had women friends see me “as a little brother” and cared about me in a platonic way… I don’t know if there’s a way out of that 😅… BUT they will help you find a date.

    When I met my future wife, I let her know I wanted to date her before being friends but after being aquatinted. She appreciated my politeness and care and reciprocated it back. We’ve been married for 10 years now. Found out later she was demi-sexual. She didn’t find me attractive at first (she didn’t find anyone truly attractive), but she did as she loved me more.
