Dan Bilzerian's very own containment thread. All things Bilzerian go here

Getting nothing on that link. X banned?

Since about a year ago, sometime shortly after 10/7 when all of the other anti-semites started climbing out of the woodwork before Israel even lifted a finger of retaliation.

he's not just anti-semitic, he actively spreads nazi propaganda on mainstream media. (e.g. interview with that BBC douche)

Guy has always seemed like the biggest insecure douche nozzle.

imo he wanted to speak out about the atrocities committed by Israel to Palestinians but then got carried away and just became anti-Jew

I'm not familiar with that interview; can you give some specifics so I can look it up? I googled "Bilzarian BBC" but only got really old content in the results.

They probably mean the one with Piers Morgan

lol, thank you. Not even close to BBC, so I'm glad you clarified.

NVG is a politics free zone. You can call Dan B. whatever you want (within forum rules) or the opposite of it, that's fine. If you want to talk about Israel, we have a politics forum for that.

Such a weak move, my post didn’t have anything hateful in it and most poker players are critical thinkers so leave the post up and let them do their own research.

Funny that no one can’t defend Bilzerian’s views without mentioning what could be behind it but it’s ok to label him as a nazi.

Just so that we're on the same page here: The first sentence of your post would have resulted in a temp-ban in the not very distant past as it was 100% political and nothing else. The only reason that doesn't happen anymore is because I hate banning people and barely ever do it and there aren't too many other mods dealing with NVG anymore.

"Absolutely no politics allowed in NVG" is still rule number one.

Trying to clarify. Is calling him anti-Semite allowed? Is defending him from that charge allowed? If one is allowed but the other isn't is pointing out that politics is allowed so long as it is the approved position allowed?

In a perfect world, everything that has to do with Israel/Palestine goes here:

I would also prefer if nobody was called anti-semite in here but I guess technically that's not a political statement. If people are allowed to call someone an anti-semite, others are certainly allowed to claim he's not an anti-semite.

Also no idea why people feel the need to get hung up on stuff like that but you do you.

First thank you for the response. Second it might be I associate too much with attorneys but the way you phrased your response; specifically "allowed to claim" , suggests that both sides are allowed to post claims but neither side is allowed to post facts to bolster their claims. Is this correct?

You can post as many facts as you like as long as rule #1 is not violated. Everything that violates rule #1 goes to the politics forum and only the politics forum.

wait, my posts pointing out that Bilzerian does nazi propaganda were deleted?

niccccccce.

OK, i can see how that might violate the rule.

But then, considering that Bilzerian is a public political figure at this point - someone who actively spreads aforementioned propaganda,
this whole thread is thereby political, so please delete this thread or move it to the politics forum.

if trump starts playing poker, is a trump thread allowed in NVG?

If daniel Negreanu runs for office and beomes a politician, is his thread allowed?

btw, rule number 1 is kind of silly considering the name of the forum: 'news', 'views', 'gossip'... i guess you guys haven't put much thought into what exactly 'political' means

If you like to talk about moderation, we have a thread for that:
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29/ne...

The Ukraine flag on the website is political. It's generally a way for SJW types to virtue signal. Most people know that the free money supply is coming to a quick end and this whole skirmish will be an afterthought in the near future. So please consider updating the published political creed of two plus two to something more de jour for the virtue signalers. Maybe a nice Hamas flag? Or you can go retro with a free Tibet flag?

Or stop with the double-standards. Or defend the double-standards. Rules for thee not for me is the epitome of autocracy, which I guess is a political ideology that some embrace through action.

You may be surprised to learn that there are people from Ukraine and who know people there. Ukraine existing isn't political.

Virtue signalers are annoying but caring about an issue in the world is not always fake.

iirc one owner of the site is russian and the other is ukrainian

Using your standard there are people from Palestine and people who know people there. Really want to argue a Palestinian flag would not be considered political? The issue as defined by the moderator was not if the concern was fake but if it were political. I again thank the moderator for replying to my questions and seeing what has not been deleted from this thread explains his desire to leave the standards vague enough so the standards are we delete what we want to delete.

Shush.

Saw Bilzerian at the Aria this summer. His mullet makes him look like a roided up lesbian with a beard.

Not one, but two 2+2 favorites mentioned in Oompaville's latest vid:
