ive had numerous experiences with prostitutes, and the way you write them depends on what type of prostitute they are. The cheap ones only pretend to enjoy your company, if you go to their hotel room or whatever, it's wine bottles and takeout, not unusual behavior. When you have sex with them they usually close their eyes and let out large, unrealstic, moans as to detract from the fact they don't want to look at your face. I noticed that one of these cheap prostitutes had a picture of a very attractive male model as their background and assumed their cope with fucking uggo after uggo was to imagine they were Chris Hemsworth or something. After I fuck them i never stick around except for one time where I had a short conversation with somebody I reguarly visit. She asked me where I was from and what I did, i answer and then with a subtext of disdain they tell me that I should probably stop visiting prostitutes. Genuine economic advice or a jibe at my character, i'll never know. Apart from that they're not very hard to write, imagine yourself if you're being forced (cause most of them are being forced, either by a caretaker or by their financial conditions) to have sex with VERY UNATTRACTIVE men for not that much money, now imagine yourself 10 years down this road where you've become numb to the lifestyle but still hate yourself. I'm assuming a lot here, mainly because I actually have no idea how these people think but I'm trying my best to create the archetype of their character. They were probably also abused as a child, no normal person would choose to ever go into the sex trade, these people are usually being forced. Their dad probably raped them, you can incorporate that if you want.
I've had a single experience with a very expensive prostitute, paid her 1.5k for a night. The sex was acceptable (having sex with a prozzie is essentialy the same as masturbating) but I seriously couldn't discern anything about her character. she was putting up an act the entire night and never letting it slip, it was really impressive in hindsight. I assume she's like the previous archetype of the cheap prostitute but without the self loathing, they probably also have a tesla and a paid off mortgage.

How many hours do you spend reading every day?

And he is unable to save us now because...

Or do you suppose that god no longer wants to save us?

Hey /lit/, im looking for books into the origins of political psychology and how public opinions are shaped, as well as how mass movements begin and what cause them to reach "critical mass", so to speak.
Ive already read Hoffer.

>Traditional structuring is white supremacism
This was in Princeton btw

>Go to DSA
>people complaining about clapping because it triggers some people with PTSD
>someone unironically complained that the diaper changing room was 'babies only'
>Everybody tense all the time because you can get called out at any moment for anything
>50% of the time was devoted to trans issues even though they mean fuck all in the grand scheme of things
>Some woke white girl wanted to return the land of Minnesota to the original native tribes a la Blut und Boden (she didnt even know what tribe it was).
>People rejecting working out and getting in shape because it 'reifies traditional beauty standards and fascist emphasis on physical strength'.
All these people seriously think they can take on all of international capitalism, while also taking on fascists who have become more numerous and far more violent. Western socialism is fucking dead.

>mfw this book unironically primed me for fascism
I still dont get how it's supposed to be a warning against fascism when The Wave works so well.

>End the class with the professor utterly tanking my average by 5% entire percentage points, claimed my writing style was more suited to an English major than a History Major, and despite it being my last year there's 'plenty of time to change your major to a degree better suited for you, though I hope to see you in future classes!'
Goddamn that sucks

>mfw the far right, especially the French far right, is a big fan of Gramsci and have used his work far more effectively than the far left has since the fall of communism
how ironic

Have any of you ever had any profoundly spiritual experiences?

>Emotional labor
Anyone who uses that term should be put to death desu

As someone who switched quite a lot between the far right and far left, both IRL and online, i have to disagree.

The far right isn't as paranoid as the far left, at least not in the same way as the far left. Their paranoia comes from a certain sense of a persecution complex, which isn't entirely unwarranted, given how sites like Reddit tend to be harsher on far right subs than on far left one, although they're still more than able to circumvent this and propagate on all major platforms. But beyond this, they dont have any inner paranoia, which is the main problem of the far left.

The far left is extremely paranoid within itself. They see wreckers everywhere, have constant struggle sessions, and have no problem coming down on their former 'comrades' with seething hatred for even the slightest transgressions. If you come out too harshly against a certain form of idpol then you're immediately at risk of being branded a brocialists, a manarchist, or a TERF, and then the redguards will come down with you with a hatred that's rare even in the far right, apart from Manson-worshipping SIEGE-cults. This generally makes far left places very tense yet stale, since anything spontaneous and organic is extinguished because it might be problematic. It's no wonder that the far left is losing the youth to the far right, which is generally far more welcoming than the far left. 'Welcoming' in the sense that the far right sees converts, whereas the far left sees heretics.
