The problem with this sort of thinking is that there are people who actually put energy into that and actually change the world.

The last decade, it was the alt-right folks who managed to transform the society up to a point where governments and lives of those targeted by the alt-right have changed significantly.

Voting, policy on civil or environmental matters, rights etc. all seem like nothing ever changes by activism and yet they changed quite significantly over time.

That sounds like a great slogan for a kinky dating web site.

It's relevant because good sex probably has a diminishing effect on polarization between the participants.

Or in some encounters, among the participants. :)

I offer into evidence the social behavior of bonobos when they get stressed.
