from an anti-poly BookFace group that claims to be ML :wtf-am-i-reading:
a lot of things have been ruined by captialism but this is such bad fucking analysis
I’m guessing this is what the “homosexuality is bourgeoisie decadence” weirdos moved on to after open homophobia stopped being socially acceptable
It’s funny how like every trans person I know irl is reserved and borderline arromantic, myself included, and yet it’s automatically assumed that all the trans people who are friends must be in a polycule.
Never mind how this person is complaining about “neoliberal” capitalism atomizing relationships only to conclude that the problem is essentially the disruption of the “nuclear family,” which is itself a relatively anomalous and recent type of family organization.

I’d guess it’s fetishisation of trans people due to pornography leading people to draw conclusions and further fetishise them, while also creating “trans people are dangerous” narratives.

My experience is kind of the opposite. Most of the ones I know are some form of poly, to the point where I feel the odd one out :(
I agree that modern polyamory, specifically within the working class, is in some ways a consequence of neoliberal capitalism colliding with sexual liberation.
As rents and cost of living increases, the need for more roommates to cover rent increases steadily, and why not choose roommates that want to fuck?
3-4 people living in the same apartment/house and sharing fewer beds while actually enjoying being around one another is a fantastic way to cope with the hell of late stage capitalism and the housing insecurity that comes with it.
This is actually how polyandry started in rural Tibet so there’s historical president for labor units becoming sexual units that share the burden of cost of living/labor of social reproduction.
