Moderation Questions
The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
After you complete your long-format training here on 2+2, I assume that you will feel prepared to enter the short-format competition on X, which of course has a much larger field.
May I ask what sorts of prizes you expect to win in the competition on X? I ask not because I doubt your ability but rather because I am not familiar with the prize structure.
What makes you think I am not already very active on Twitter???
Well for a start there are only 24 hours in a day and you're typing into rectangular boxes here for at least 16 of them.
"Full" libertarianism (even the minarchist version I expouse, which is less extremist than Anarcho capitalism) very rarely gets converts, but when you focus on single specific topics it's much easier.
Then you slowly move to generalize the intuition "the state is actually the problem in Topic x I care about" to more and more topics

I have this forum open on one tab togheter with others and twitter and discord.
Then I take a couple of hours to farm .it sites (yes they are still soft) then I go back.
And I keep tables open a lot to catch fishes (low actions, many rooms) which requires SOMETHING to fill all the empty moments or you actually get crazy
You play online poker for a living?
To pad income until it lasts (it is tax free in Italy, rake is a tad higher, a portion goes to the state, but that exempts eventual winnings from income taxes), could retire on previous winnings (budgeting carefully) but why leave free money on the table until it lasts

Owning libs obv
Fascists always own the libs, historically, because libs biggest enemy is socialism and they always believe they can control and use the fascists to rid them of that threat (when the reverse turns out to be the case).
What makes this forum so fascinating to me is how accurate it is as a microcosm of politics in the broader world.
I don't want to own anyone, I am against slavery.
Wait a minute, you were talking about discrimination against Christians, not Jewish people.
If you moved to Iran you might be discriminated against for being American more than anything else.
Re. Turkey I am not an American and neither was the person who lived there.
Not making any point. Just chat.
I've been to Turkey and Malaysia.
Turkey had the second friendliest people I've ever come across, after Brazil. They went out of their way to assist me or family members several times.
I was mostly, not entirely, in Istanbul, though. People there are more secular. I don’t know if that factored in. But hospitality is a virtue in Islam, so maybe the provincials are even nicer.
In Malaysia, only the Malay (there are also Indians and Chinese) are mostly Muslim, but they are fairly serious about it. They were always nice to me.
Well, almost. I got clipped by a motorcycle and poor food vendors rushed to my aid with first aid supplies.
It was just a little chunk taken out of my ankle, but bloody.
I found a doctor's office and it was clear that they didn't want to treat me. The doctor was ice cold and refused to give me stitches, which it seemed obvious i needed. Another doctor stuck his head in and was quite affable, but it wasn't his case. I imagined he knew the other doctor would not treat me well and wanted to look in on me.
It took a long time to heal and i have a big scar, so obviously stitches were in order.
One of the only times I've really felt hostility as an American, and only time from Muslims. Both the receptionist and Doctor.
On the whole, Muslims have been nicer and more hospitable to me than average.
If things ever settle down, I'd love to visit Iran.

In my relatively limited experience, hospitality to visitors is a cultural norm in Muslim countries.

I never said anything about Christians. You said no one from western cultures were discriminated against, which is ridiculous.

All of those Cats of Istanbul instagram videos make it seem like an awesome to go where cats roam free and are loved by all.

You're right. You were chiming in on Luciom's side of the argument, and he did specify Christians.
In my post you replied to I said that in some areas of the world I'd expect to find Americans discriminated against.

I specified christians being discriminated against much more than muslims *by leftists*, not by muslim majority countries lol.
By leftists in the west.
Specifically, leftists allow extreme offenses against christianity much more than they allow extreme offenses against islam.
Christians discriminated against by leftists in the West?
What extreme offences against Christianity are these terrible leftists waving through that they're preventing against Islam?
Lmao the moderation in the Israel/Palestine thread is a complete farce.
I made a post that read, “So is Hamas a tiny percentage of the Gazan population or an omnipresent force with eyes and ears everywhere?”, which got deleted.
No idea how that deserves to be deleted without warning while some posters are allowed to shitpost with impunity.
Go ahead and perma me so I don’t waste any more time participating in the circus.
supposn opened more threads, than everyone else combined in the last 6 months i think
