Love is therefore the ultimate act of resistance. It is a negation of a convention built on assumptions that people (in individuals) are replacable, that you'd simply "find someone else". The truth of the matter is that you don't want someone else, you want the individual you're in love with.
To love is, I think, to ultimately extend that middle finger to the established ideology of the day.
Under this form of resisting lies a greater beauty. This type of beauty would rather hold the hand of a lover while they were in a hospital bed, than merely exchange the person "you are seeing" for someone else.
Indeed, brother, and this is why love is under attack by the Love-industrial complex.
The greatest act of defiance against the predominant ideology is to passionately and fully fall in love with another human being. The logic of love is antithetical to capitalism's logic of immediacy and ephemerality.
