It's a shame you couldn't join. Based on this description, it sounds like the perfect environment for you.

It's never too late I guess

Did it ever occur to you that they haven't even had someone like Obama left moderate? That might be the issue

As I've said before extreme politics is downstream of extreme personality. That's the problem imo

Like if someone repeated Obama talking points on the border they'd have a tsunami of nazi accusations.... and that creates tension

a member of management making a decision and acting on their own volition is not the same as the collective management making a decision. I cant believe I need to actually explain this to you but then I remembered that you are just being a dick for absolutely no reason at all.

IRONY ALERT!!! IRONY ALERT!!! IRONY ALERT!!!

19,000 posts and he can't remember posting there. Ok dude.

This is an extremely generous way to describe a homophobic bigot.

I couldn't agree more!


by geezerchess m

As a StormFront guy yourself, sounds like at least some of the nazi accusations they leveled were perhaps valid.

Wtf are you even talking about? I've never even looked at politics on reddit, nevermind some infamously extreme rtard show

It's all your fault I shared the street preacher tweet BTW. Now I'm an immortal avatar for whatever objectionable views the tweeter had


I didn't know about this tweet business and it's still obvious you're an avatar for odiousness.

Most of the "hate group" founded their own little echo chamber, which thrives to this day.

Which makes a lot more sense. I wished them well and still do.

They survived their birth pains and I didn't die of irony watching some of it so it's a good thing.

What can I say? I disagree with lagtight about nearly everything, including his noxious views on human sexuality, but I am interested in the subculture of which he is a part.


You should take is as a compliment. Genorisity is a good thing and you need a lot of it to understand people you disgaree with.

Looks like they got his number with that undertitle, anyway.

I guess I got my fill of that sort of thing walking past the campus street preacher in college and/or reading Chick tracts.

Hate to break it to you, slugger, but the fact that they are ideologues doesn't make you any less of a twat.

In your opinion how many tweets should you screen before you determine someone sharing a non controversial video is a racist or not? All of them?

I think the best way to address this while surrounded by spastic derps is to just attach a disclaimer. Any better solution?

Yes all of them.

Hard to disgaree with genorisity.

Yeah, that is interesting. But also he has a sense of humor and humility, unlike the right wing sociopaths around here. I haven't read his posts as much as some here, but doesn't he seem like an empathetic person generally? Perhaps if he could extricate himself from his religious cult he would be free to be an actual good person instead of following some script of what people thought being a good person meant 2000 years ago.


I would interested to see lagtight and craig in a room together. Both are religious, and both seem to have an attachment to religion that is highly personal rather than institutional, but that's where the similarities end.

lagtight tries to support his beliefs using empirical evidence and logic. And when he gets to a point where he can't support his beliefs through empirical evidence and logic, he fills in the blanks by channeling his inner George Michael and singing "you gotta have faith!"

craig seems to embrace some highly personal variant of Christian mysticism that is barely attached at all to Western rationalism.

A good example of the fact that two things can be true at the same time.

You should try to understand people you disagree with, but if you never come to the conclusion that you disagree with them because they're just *******s you're just using no judgement, not good judgement.

I essentially never read craig's posts. They are usually asides that don't advance the plot anyway. I was tempted to read some so I could get into that thing that you and d2 were doing, but didn't. Also, I wondered if you were cheating with chatgtp or some such. Were you?

I agree that he has a sense of humor and can take a punch. His empathy often takes the form of "love the sinner, hate the sin," which can be very, very hard to swallow. That said, I'm sure that lagtight is capable of kindness.

I seem to recall that he had some sort of dramatic religious conversion as a young adult. I don't think he grew up evangelical. I'm sure that he would be happy to tell you. He is very transparent about his religious beliefs and background.

One of my few regrets in life is that I myself didn't coin the term "avatar for odiousness."

I swear on a stack of lagtight's bibles that I was not cheating. Those posts were the product of my own feeble mind.

What are Chick tracts?
