Arranged marriages were just a society wide buddy system that revolved around pairing members of the opposite sex together right? So why is the sexual free market considered progressive?

What is wrong with giving everybody a buddy they can love and have sex with? Why do socialists want to clothe and feed everyone but so vehemently defend the sexual free market?

arranged marriages were only common among rich families. Commoners had 0 reason to arrange marriages.

Both options are fucking shit. The only right choice is family values, a return to the nuclear family. You being forced to marry someone you barely know is what caused libertine Kings to seek out whores, and women that could've been pure Queens to become whores. It was pretty fucking bad and why aristocracy was shit.

>>3051474
The problem with modern relationships is that people have a twisted view of what a marriage is good for and many people are not very smart in choosing partners.

It is not because a girl is attractive that it is a good idea to marry her. Yet, many people think that the most important part on marriage is attraction. Marriage would work best if people used their rationality more and their instincts less. But then, we are bombarded with 24 hours a day messages from Hollywood on how you should always choose your feelings, so I doubt many people will think hard about this.

Sorry, I more of conflate extended family and nuclear family into a whole thing with family values because of how many times the Americanist term is used. Anyway, you get the idea, be it the US version or the EE version, its about keeping to a family unit rather than being rampant degenerates having a time of being 'young, wild and free!'.

I'm not him, but I believe when he mentions nuclear family, he is saying "biological parents living together with their kids", instead of the "step-parent carousel".

>>3051772
Yeah, see >>3051763

In general I mean, arranged marriages are equally as bad as degenerate behaviour you see today because it doesn't support family as a unit of love, culture and tradition, but rather as a form of business. Lots of wealthy people still go for arranged marriages these days, its just that they have better PR about it now.
>>
>>3051802
Not saying they weren't, but there was still an actual measure of attraction. You got to at least know the girl. Feudalism was pretty fucking horrible overall and those that glorify it have watched too much GoT.

The best period in history for society, culture and progress was arguably all of 19th century to up to the first World War.
>>
>>3051789
It depends on how the parents choose who their kids will marry.

There is a difference between:

- This guy is hard working, religious, kind, treats everyone well. I'm marrying my daughter to him.

and

- This guy has kids with 2 different women. He is alcoholic and he is famous for his pub fights. But his father is a potential political ally. I'm marrying my daughter to him.

You wouldn't be living in a house like that as a serf. You wouldn't own anything besides your wife, your children, your clothes and a portion of the crops you worked for, because your lord would own the land, a tenth of all crops within, utilities such as the mill you use to make flour, and you are bound to his land, as your children may be. Your house would be a shack or a mudhut. You'd share a (straw) bed with your entire family and next to filthy animals because you'd depend on animal heat to not freeze to death in the coldest nights. You'd almost certainly experience the death of one of your children. Giving birth is often fatal. Disease is rampant. As are raids, and violent death in general.

Well to be fair, peasants back then had more holidays than us and got free wine on Sundays.

But social mobility was rather fucked if you weren't born a noble.

Also you are wrong about the war thing. I mean the English were literally war criminals during the 100 years war and murdered peasants just to wreck the French economy.

But if you were a rich Jew money lender and the local lord hadn't expelled you, then well life wasn't that bad.

More percentage of the population died in 1348 than both the World Wars combined.

And it literally was the result of poor hygiene and fear of cats.

The Jews... Who took baths didn't die of the plague as much.

Look. Feudalism was cool. I enjoy a good crusade, but don't kid yourself that you'd be more happy as a peasant back then then now.

I mean if I was a crusader or merchant that well things would be decent as long as I could take baths.

If I had a choice, I'd rather be a money lending Jew than a peasant.

I think he's arguing for the ideal of feudalism, aka having with the most modern knowledge and technology, not for feudalism of medieval times.
Let us be honest with ourselves here, all lower class people from time immemorial until the late 1800s (and even afterwards) have had it crap. The question is just the specific ways in which it was crap.

Um. Chances are you settled for whatever peasant wife that was available since no one in the village had gone more than 5 miles away from the village in their life.

No, because all that you truly need to be fulfilled (see above) such as house, family, food, work is already in front of you. In addition, society isn't blaring messages of consumerism and greed in your face all day erry day

Well, you're just off course here. If we recognize that the fit body is more attractive, then we can recognize that the average peasant woman (ignoring disease and malnutrition) is better looking than the average no-physical labor modern woman.

So your parents seriously never tried to set you up with the daughter of one of your friends? Arranged marriages still exist in the states, you're just allowed to say no.
>>
>>3051482
That is not true. Nonetheless I don't agree with OP
>>3051474
Marriage in the past wasn't about love, or really fucking it was about having kids, Either to help out on the farm, the family business/trade, gain more land/wealth or to gain political advantage.
I will emphasize on legitimate children too.
Basically, people married because that's just what you did to survived. You needed a husband to help provide for you(women couldn't work much outside the home anyway) or a wife to help you out. More importantly make kids together to have more help
It wasn't about loving the person at all, it was all practical, like society was some type of machine.
If you want to go back to that, we'll be my guess. Ask you parents to arrange your marriage to an Indian or something.

The nuclear family was a break away from the traditonal extended family you freaking idiots. It was literally a meet to support American proto individualism . Forget your cousins, grandparents (they should all be in a nursing home anyway) uncles, and aunts. Let's live alone as an isolated "father mother daughter son house hold" that's not how families worked for the longest time.
>>
>>3053194
Also forgot to add, while arranged marriages do tend to last longer than non arranged, most of it is due to guilt tripping, not actual new find love. The parents invest so much into the marriage, that the children feel pressured to make the marriage work at all costs, even if they are unhappy.
Of course, not all arranged marriages are bad, it's just difficult to seriously say it is better.

No because before 1991 nobody could even leave the country. If the country was so good, why did so many people revolt in the 90's? Pro tip: it wasn't capitalist propaganda, it was because socialism and communism are shit ideas and they lead to an unhappy hungry people.
>>
>>3054083
All I'm saying is that people leaving the country to work shit jobs abroad is a consequence of capitalism restoration, not socialism. We know that people from poorer capitalist countries that have never experienced socialism go off to work in richer capitalist countries just like Moldovans and Romanians, and that goes on for generations and never stops. Polish people go work in France just as they did back in 1930s, Mexicans go to the US just like in 1940s, Algerians go to France today just like in 1950s. Inequality between countries is a feature of capitalist world economy, it's a bit silly to blame socialism and Communist ideology for that.

It's even sillier to say in eastern europe the nuclear family is the standard.
>>
>>3054104
I'm not that person, but yeah it seems like very much a standard to me. Maybe in Romania social mores or the situation with housing is different, but here we generally have kids living with their parents and grandparents only occasionally coming to visit, three generations living under one roof is seen as abnormality.

There are no real values in modern societies. People don't care about family, friendship, love and having stable relationships in general.

Extreme feminism enables women to monkey branch (continously changing partners, leaving the used up guy for a "better", more powerful one). Men want money to fuck women. We became animals, nothing more. This is a vicious cicle. No values - men care only for money to fuck women, women care only for power, so they fuck men after men for more power. Disgusting.

In a decadent society like this, culture, happiness, famiy and other values will die. I blame materialism and the lack of empathy. Most people are psychopats; who cares what others want? Who cares what others feel?

And here come the comfortable lies: maybe it's just you. Maybe you'll make it next time. Man up! Be a strong woman! It's not you, it's them. All men are pigs, all women are whores (so you can discard them anytime without remorse - they are not even people, after all).

I don't know if arranged marriages are the solutions or not. Maybe the MGTOW guys are right - but then we should accept the fact that mankind is a failure and humans can't be decent persons. While there were times I accepted their views and agreed that we need to regulate women somehow, I still want a family and I want my values. Anything less is acting like a mindless, soulless animal... and death. I want to be a human and live like a human. Even when society does the opposite.

Most of Eastern Europe, or the world, are poor like that or even poorer, and capitalism doesn't seem to do be able to do anything about it. There are only several countries like South Korea that ever managed to get out of this shit. The mainstream Western media claims that it's because of this or that reason like corruption or socialism, that distorts their perfect capitalist economy that will eventually get everyone out of poverty. In reality they no one actually knows what is that that has to be done to get a country out of poverty, but they go on with the pretence that they do only because the status quo favours them (that is, they don't actually want the world to be a less unequal place). What could be better than hiring a Romanian woman who will be happy to work for peanuts and pat yourself in the back for your love of diversity and other non-virtues, right? Elites and common folks in the developed world profit from the inequality, elites in poorer countries like Romania and Russia profit from it too, the only people who don't are people like you and I, but they don't actually want us to notice the real problem, so we're distracted by propaganda boogiemen: be it irradiated theocratic Russians, gay Europeans or aliens from Nibiru, doesn't matter, as long as it allows the common folk like us to vent our anger harmlessly. Don't fall for the meme. Whatever happens in Russia, it won't improve your own prospects by one bit.

Feudalism was shit for everyone not even the fucking aristocrats liked it otherwise they wouldn't have been so suicidal. People who are saying commoners don't have a reason to arrange marriages are fucking dumb. If I was a piss poor peasant I could arrange for my healthy attractive fertile daughter to marry the son of a rich merchant, that way our families would unite and would help each other out, my family would climb the social ladder and would benefit greatly from the merchant's help. If I let my daughter marry the tanner's son it would be a loss for my family, because the tanner doesn't have enough money to help me out so both our families would get stuck in the same class.

Love was a thing back then as it is now but there were plenty of smart peasants who saw marriage as a means of getting up in the world, not as a means to fulfill love. If your father is against you marrying some poor qt because he wants you to marry the inbred countess, he's doing it to get up in the world, and if you disagree with him because the countess is hideous he could just disinherit you.

That being said sons and daughters were just another resource to any man back then. If you had a debt to pay you could just betroth your daughter to the man who owed you money. If you were a good buddy of the lord you'd send your son to his service.

Now you can argue that arranged marriages might be good today to improve your social/economic/political standing but making them the norm is idiotic. Imagine you turn 18 and you have to spend the rest of your life with an ugly dumb woman that you share nothing in common with because she was picked for you, not by you. Pretty shit innit? Now you can pick the woman you want but most people are idiots and pick the bad one anyway which goes to show no matter how far we've come we're still constantly fucking it up.

>>
>>3054237
100% agreed. With the end of arranged marriages came more traditional ones. It's why high-up politicians were way more moral in some cases, despite the meme, than monarchs. The Bourbons were a decadent mess, meanwhile Napoleon who was at his heart a soldier was a family man.

If you marry someone you actually love, and he/she loves you back, odds are you will create a stable family unit. If King X got to marry some peasant girl that respected and appreciated him, he'd have a much better life and rule better than if he was forced to marry some decadent noble slut.

Sure today you have degeneracy but its no better if you want to return to the aristocratic degeneracy where in an arranged marriage the man and the woman would have 5000000000000x lovers.

desu this is frowned upon today, as living at home is seen as being unable to live an independent life

i understand that times are different and kids do mooch off parents longer, but if you live closer together and bring in income as well as maintain family ties and eventually take care of your parents and take their place in the family hierarchy, that's perfectly fine to me.

peasant houses were often just one main room where everyone slept. adults slept on beds, kids slept on the ground, in tables, on the furnace (if they had one). so one fire did tend to one room, and in a way, the house.

Bringing in more things to warm the house could help throughout the harshest winters.
I thought they all slept in one bed? Kind of harsh to put the kids on the floor. I guess they slept together with a sheet.
Babies also didn't have cribs most of the so they probably slept with the parents, which was probably dangerous since that is risk factor for SIDS.
Anyway this threadas is being derailed, it was about arranged marriages, not peasant lives. Some idiot was just romantizing feudalism again.

Meh, alarmist charts like that tend to forget that cancer is inevitable as one ages, and the population is indeed aging, and then, well, pic related.

Everyone old enough to post on this board has tumors, it's just a matter of time before you develop one that is malignant and metastasizes. All that is required is that something else doesn't kill you first, and since that is increasingly unlikely, barring a cure, more and more people will die of cancer as time goes on and medical advancements for other causes of death improve.

What's a better people marrying people who are out of their leave attractive wise like they do today?
Are you sure I'm the virgin? Look if you want to have meaningless sex all the time until you find a girl/guy who seems the "sexiest" then decide to marry them then go ahead. I just don't think you will be better off for it. Nor would most people.
Why do you think people have to like having one night stands all the time before they have friends or aren't lonely virgins? It's like you are projecting or trying to mask you discontent with life so far with the facade that fucking sexy people all the time is what will bring you true happiness.

I'm against hedonism, I literally say it in my post. Pick-up culture, forced Hollywood bullshit, libertinism and the rest has destroyed society.

I'm saying you're being too simplistic about it. There is nothing saying an attractive girl or an attractive guy can't have good morals. A lot don't because of Hollywood culture, but there are still those that do. Thinking in terms of ebul Stacy/Chad vs Plain Jane/Joe is just too simplistic. See >>3054390
>>
>>3054390
No!
Not all of them, I mean 10/10s usually.
If you want to prevent yourself from living an unhappy life, your best bet is to marry a person who is 7/10. They tend not to be full of themselves and actually care about others besides themselves unlike the former. Now not all very attractive people are terrible and I know a few but they are always taken, and very hard to find.
I'm talking about MEN AND WOMEN btw so don't call me a/ r9k/ fag or woman hater.
This conclusion has actually come from my observation of others and my own life experience so go ahead, call me a basement dwelling virgin again. It won help you in the long run if you just dismiss my advice.

And my point is, since Hollywood glorifies the very attractive to excessive degrees and most parents suck at parenting to the point it is near impossible that children are not exposed to this. It makes your post seem more idealistic.
Most of them will grow up thinking they are all that and then some. Hell, there is a joke by this one comedian saying how "attractive people are actually the worse in bed because they believe themselves too beautiful to have to put in effort since you should be glad you'refucking then. Now this is an over exaggeration obviously, but it comes from the same idea." That less attractive people should be happy that they are deign to fuck them

Wrong. Even though the average age is increasing, the chances of someone getting cancer is decreasing.

I think that thinking marriage is about romantic love is harmful. Romantic love lasts about a year or two. And is neurologically similar to a drug addiction.

When you think of marriage like this, after the two years are over you end up feeling frustrated and miserable. The marriage ends or becomes a disappointment. And if you get hooked on romantic love, you become a serious monogamist, with all the unhappiness that a serial divorcer suffers.

It is healthier to ser marriage as a lifelong union with the purpose of having a family and with a kind of love that changes over time.

Realistic expectations make you happier in the long run. And kids raised by their two biological parents end up better than others.

Some say arranged marriage is better because love should grow between to people. Often times, the love is forced to grow because of expectations though. What is the difference between that and just having the love there in the first place?
I do wish families were more involved in who their kids married though. It would help men and women especially(because it is more important so they don't get married to some dude who leaves them as a single mom), make more responsible choices. Like, maybe set up blind dates and it works out it, then they could get married and the family would be behind it. If it doesn't then find them a new date.
Of course, there is no way to implement such a system like this easily now.

this is the major cause of rapid decline in western populations


cancer is now as common as the flu, that is intentional. the existing cures for cancer are intentionally suppressed.

My good friend is Indian and his parents would never set him up with an ugly broad. No fucking way.

The information you will learn is mostly censored and banned in the United States when it comes to cancer treatment, as only pharmaceutical products approved by the FDA are allowed to treat cancer in the U.S.

Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical industry and the U.S. government has lost the war on cancer.

At the beginning of the last century, one person in twenty would get cancer. In the 1940s it was one out of every sixteen people. In the 1970s it was one person out of ten. Today one person out of two gets cancer in the course of their life.

The cancer industry is probably the most prosperous business in the United States. In 2014, there will be an estimated 1,665,540 new cancer cases diagnosed and 585,720 cancer deaths in the U.S. $6 billion of tax-payer funds are cycled through various federal agencies for cancer research, such as the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The NCI states that the medical costs of cancer care are $125 billion, with a projected 39 percent increase to $173 billion by 2020.

The simple fact is that the cancer industry employs too many people and produces too much income to allow a cure to be found. All of the current research on cancer drugs is based on the premise that the cancer market will grow, not shrink.

In the 1920s scientists showed that cigarette smoking caused lung cancer.[224] Which resulted in no governmental ban on smoking.

In the UK and the USA, an increase in lung cancer rates was being picked up by the 1930s, but the cause for this increase remained suppressed. Decades followed of suppression of truth, unsuccessful attempts by victims to sue the companies and government protecting the interests of the tobacco mafia.

After 7 decades, and millions dead, the tobacco mafia in the United States has suffered greatly since the mid-1990s, when it was successfully sued by several U.S. states. The suits claimed that tobacco causes cancer, that companies in the industry knew this, and that they deliberately denied the legitimacy of their findings, contributing to the illness and death of millions worldwide.

The industry was found to have decades of internal memos confirming in detail that tobacco (which contains nicotine) is both addictive and carcinogenic (cancer-causing

In a land mark article, John Bailar published in the “New England Journal of Medicine” in 1997 “Are we losing the war on cancer?”

We recently confirmed that this is, still the case. We obtained from the WHO mortality time-series data of 20 countries over 45 years (1960–2015). During these 50 years the age standardised cancer death rate has varied little (−4%).

These data confirm the preliminary results from Bailar and contradict the notion of a breakthrough in cancer prevention, early detection, and cancer treatment (Summa 2012). Today, as before, cancer to the notable exception of some childhood malignancies and of lymphoma remains almost universally fatal.

Today cancer is thought as an invasion by malignant cells which deserves to be killed either by the same stubbornly archaic, primitive treatments: surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy.

The release of drugs is done by assessing their efficacy in killing cancer cells. Modern drugs target one specific pathway in order to kill the malignant cell.

But the logic is still the same: killing the cancer cell. None of these new drugs can be credited with having changed significantly the survival pattern. For example the overall response rate to Herceptin (a so called magic bullet) when administered alone is less than 5%.In the meantime the cost of cancer drugs has increased exponentially. It is highly probable that we are witnessing a “bubble” based more on greed than results.There is an obvious need for change of paradigm.

Perhaps, but it really depends on the case, today we can make comfortable decisions because we're not piss poor peasants. I'd imagine if your father has to work all the time and he's constantly struggling to put food on the table, he'l piss on your preference of blondes over redheads and pick the girl that'l get him more money, even if she's as dumb as a rock, looks like shit and will cheat on you with everyone in the village. Those days feelings mattered less than reason because you couldn't afford to be sentimental.

Today I know my parents are older then me but that doesn't necessarily make them wiser, and even if they are what right do they have to pick who I'l spend my life with? I believe we should have the freedom to make the choice ourselves, even if it ends up bad. If it's just your parents trying to help you out that's cool, no issue with that, but if they force you they're taking away your freedom which I don't think should happen.

There are two different issues:

People should have the right to fuck around. But that doesn't mean fucking around is a good idea. Our society nowadays encourage fucking around instead of giving people better values that would make them happier.

This is, I think, the biggest weakness of modern liberalism. The supremacy of wants.

How so? If anything our modern society is more moral than barbarian people of past ages.
>>
>>3059302
>How so?

By the messages it sends.
Fucking around is shown positively in the media, for example. Take a look at a series such as Friends, which is considered a clean series. How many partners each of the protagonists had?

Now let's take a look at a magazine for teenagers:

http://www.teenvogue.com/story/unslut-slut-shaming-parents-talk-to-them

>But sometimes, the issue isn’t just your safety — it’s a difference in values that might be made more extreme by the cultural or religious norms your parents are used to. Those norms often put special pressure on dads to police and control their daughters’ sexuality. Like most men, your dad was probably brought up to believe that there are two kinds of female people — “good girls” and “sluts” — and that it is a father’s job to make sure his daughter is one of the “good girls.”

>But the truth is, you’re probably not going to be able to change their mind with a single conversation. Instead, plan for the long game. As you grow up, pursue your career, have healthy relationships, and discover what makes you happy, you will be demonstrating to your parents that whatever they thought of as “proper” womanhood doesn’t necessarily make sense for you. Over the course of many years and many conversations, you can show them — through the awesome life you will be leading — that women should not be categorized according to their sexuality.

They are basically telling girls to ignore the morals of their parents..

Media isn't a whole society and it isn't like anyone believe fucking Friends and Teen Vogue to be their moral guides.

This is what Asian families do. If you aren't married by a certain age, they arrange a date with a family friend's child and hope it works out. It's not forced on either party, just highly encouraged.

If they grow up watching television and reading magazines where promiscuity is glamourized, they will absorb those values.
If you grow up seeing people saying about how great is to have sex with plenty of people, you will likely start to believe it, unless you are too much of an independent mind.

The first point is the fair one, but I don't believe that you can really argue about having sex with a plenty of people being or not being great from an objective point of view.

Also, there exist movies and such that point out to the importance of monogamy so it isn't that black-and-white.

Having "promiscuous values" and "promiscuous habits" do lead to a worse life.

Not him, but when you bring raising the resulting babies comes into the subject, it kinda does. An unstable family leads to all sorts of emotional difficulties.

Granted, a large part of that is because we haven't yet figured a way to transition between this stage when family was a crucial matter of survival for the individuals founding said and the source of all rights of property, to where it's simply become biological maintenance for the greater whole and actually a burden to the founders. Not to go all /pol/, but the fact that information based evolution so thoroughly supplanted genetic evolution (especially with CRISPR on the horizon), and the fact that effective birth control and career women became a thing, basically means that sex is no longer about having babies. Yet it remains a closed social bond, and will probably remain so, and for the mental stability of the children in such societies, as >>3059365's article, among others, hints at, should probably remain so.

Given all that, it's a rather difficult balance to strike. The old doesn't make sense anymore, and no new way has been truly established. The western world is kinda just meandering and muddling its way through uncharted territory at this point.

It's like /r9k/ and /pol/ had a baby.

>they only had me cousins

The majority of arranged marriages involve cousins.

Paki arranged marriages are usually between cousins to keep the family together.

>Today I know my parents are older then me but that doesn't necessarily make them wiser
This is a good point. The angst of edgy teens who think they know everything, and their parents nothing, aside, by one's mid-twenties any reasonably well-rounded person with a good relationship with their family should be able to figure out that their parents are not necessarily the founts of wisdom they thought they were.

Hell, even if they were/are top of their class/field, the shifts in society we've had over the past three decades alone make their understanding of job- and housing-markets (both basic things that I'd hope an arranged marriage would take into account) would be hilariously outdated.

reminder that nobody cares about your feeling and that
-men love to overestimate their performance in bed
-men love to be praised by any woman
-men love to underestimate the lust of women
-men love to underestimate the boredom of women
-there is nothing more boring to a woman than to be fucked over and over by only one man
-men love to think that women love men like women love children
-women are in heat all year long
-women see no reward for faithfulness
-women see the reward for sleeping around
-women see no reward for their virginity
-women do not desire to have only one provider for sex
-women do not desire to stay virgin
-women do not know how to stay virgin
-women do not desire to be prude
-women despise nonguly asexual men
-women fear of being asexual

-the only gift a man possesses by his sheer existence is to be left alone if he wants it, but ofc very few men want this since very few men kill their infatuation with their spook of ''society'' and women.

Yeah... Wait another 20 years... Then see how all the retarded all the twenty-somes really are, and that your parents were right all along.

Ever try to carry a conversation with a nine year old? Well, when you get old enough, carrying a conversation with a twenty year old is much the same, for much the same reasons.

You do know that most of this stuff in the list could apply to men too right? Just making sure you're not a deluded mgtow.

Well are we talking about if arranged marriage WAS good or if it would BE good?

Parents do not choose the partner, that was my point. You ultimately choose the partner- in India at least. You're given options by your parents and then you choose from those. Don't like any of the options? Then your parents keep looking. I think we're on the same page with the forcing thing. No one wants to be forced into a marriage. But your parents can definitely help you in the process and their help puts a lot of pressure off of you so you can focus on other things that ultimately matter more.
