Admittedly, I often struggle with interpreting statements about the soul, but I don't what it would mean for my group identity to supplant my soul.

I’m sure you’re familiar with the NPC meme right? That wouldn’t resonate unless there was truth to it.

It starts with acknowledging the existence of the self and practicing self awareness.


So basically this is half politics half spiritual mumbo jumbo?

Wait, can you define "resonate", "acknowledging", "of", and "awareness"? Don't even think of starting a conversation until you define those words in that order.

I mean, you jest, but I wouldn't really know how to go about "acknowledging existence of the self", nor how "practicing self awareness" fits in with what preceded it. A step by step guide might be more useful than a definition here, though.

You can call people liars (to an extent), but you go over the top with insults and cursing. If you don't want to treat people with at least some respect, then you aren't being forced to post here.

Playing chicken with a brick wall might not be +EV for you, chief.

Let me get this straight. Right wing memes wouldn't resonate with a right wing audience unless there was truth to them? That is a wild, wild take.

You’ve never experienced self awareness? If so, you are the NPC.

F.

Humour is not for everyone, bro.

i enjoyed it

but that probably reinforces your grade as legit though πŸ˜€

Looks like your reading skills are on par with your writing skills. Try again, slugger.

Right back at ya. Experiencing self awareness is the same as acknowledging the self.

If a poster can come back from a ban and follow the rules, then maybe they've learned how to play nice and can stay. I don't view any of the comments against me to be against the rules.

but surely you see his evasion of the profanity filter as one don't you?


Craig is speaking in riddles because he knows that if he spoke plainly then it would immediately become obvious why his thread was locked.

Ok, well if you communicated in plain English instead of this mumbo jumbo language you've invented, we wouldn't keep having these little misunderstandings, as everyone has been trying to explain to you to no avail.

As Rococo pointed out, this is how he usually posts, so while this may well be one of the reasons, I doubt it is the only reason.

I’m not a white supremacist. Not even a little bit.

might as well left it open if it was just gonna continue in here lol

also, if that's the standard, why is it ok for luciom to be mussolini in literally every thread on this forum? he says on a daily basis whatever craig is dancing around


by d2_e4 m

Ironic circumvention of the profanity filter there brah.

Hmmm, I shoulda saved that move for a time I intended to circumvent the filter.


I never said you were a white supremacist, I said your thesis was giving white nationlism and I still think it was. I think you resent the racial stereotypes and "guilt" that is now associated with being white, and you want the freedom to critique other groups in similar ways, despite recognizing the various power structures in place. There was never going to be a discussion of "morality" in that thread, it was going to devolve into discussing why certain "groups" have inherently bad traits, which is why the exact usual suspects showed up to that dog whistle practically immediately.

It is also noted that your self/soul analogy was also recently used to describe transgender people as having sacrificed their "souls" to a "group identity". I understood the motivation and aims of your word salad, and its not going to happen.

Please move on from this.

This is what baffles me

Look I realize you don’t want to be seen as libtard authoritarians or whatever you’re concerned about on a forum you moderate without pay, but deciding hate speech against minority groups for the sake of hate speech against minority groups isn’t ok isn’t exactly a bold take

Ahhhh see now they have you where they want you. Gotta play some '85 Bears defense now to save yourself if you want to keep in good graces here.

Your doubleplusungoodspeak is frowned upon. Unsmiled upon?

Its not okay, which is why Luciom just came back from a month off.


If my biggest sin on 2p2 is I call shitty human beings the shitty human beings they are without trying to rEaCh AcRoSs tHe AiSlE since that very transparently isn’t what they’re here for then I’m good with it

In which case, why did you need to say the same thing twice in the same sentence?
