I reckon if you’re doing the work involved in managing a rental property yourself, you’re doing work and providing a service.
If you expect an employee/contractor to do all that for you, but to still collect profits: what would you say you do here?
As a cis het white guy it’s important for everyone here to know what I think:
Fatherhood, and my monogamous het partnership are the best things that’ve happened in my life.
“Traditional family values” (paternalism, misogynism etc) are toxic, and abusive. If your existence as a trans person helps undermine them, I celebrate you. If your existence as a trans person somehow reinforces those values I’ll still celebrate you (but I’ll be curious about how that’s happening).
You have allies.
Edit to add: the opening line was firmly tongue in cheek.
I’m not certain what the external OP meant by liberalism. If they meant leftism I think it might be accurate to say that:
Leftist movements promise everything in the hierarchy, but depend on working class solidarity which (I think) is a form of transcendence. Leftist movements blame societal safety and physiological shortcomings on amorphous policies and power structures.
Whereas: fascist movements promise esteem (through the glory of the state), belonging and love (through participation in the movement), and blame safety and physiological inadequacy on ‘outsiders’ and political opponents.
I’m having trouble articulating how promising esteem through the glory of the state isn’t a form of transcendence. I think it’s because it’s something that’s promised, ie “elect me and you can be a proud aryan again” is different from “elect me because you care about the working class”.
The former is “you get something for voting for me”. The latter is “if you’ve achieved transcendence you should support lifting others up”.
But this all based on my uninformed understanding of Maslow and political ideologies.
Yeah I thought the same about depose.
