I can just as well say that the conflation of whites and racists is done primarily by whites, racists and white racists themselves. I suspect I would even find a few people here who would eagerly act as a case in point.

The way I understand it, the Azov aren't that Nazi and Zelensky is really not that Jewish. And even Hitler had a Jew or two he liked.

I really don't get why Sneerclub still lives rent-free in some residents' heads even after getting off Reddit.

This can read as "when you have power, immediately destroy everything your opponents value or they'll start arguing for some arbitrary statute of limitations".

This art was already there, because Midjourney learned all that on human art. Corporations preferred to use corporate memphis because it's presumably cheaper and perhaps more brand-recognizable and shit. I'm afraid if AI-generated memphis remains cheaper than beautiful art, we're going to see a lot more AI-memphis than AI-beauty.

What? No. Sovereignity is specifically about the control you have over the territory. Pride is more about keeping face.

In other words, objective truth is more important to me than either your ego or your life.
No, your ego is nore important to you than objective truth. Objective truth does not require that people accept it; it is enough to be correct. "I am correct and you must admit it" is the ego speaking.

I've seen a (possibly) female profile on a horny subreddit, and in her profile there's a vent post about how she feels worthless because everyone only values her for sex. My sister in Christ, how am I supposed to value you for anything else when all you present (on this profile, at least) are cybersex offers!? At least suggest something, anything else to talk about! Sorry, "being a human person I don't know" is not interesting enough. There are 8 billion people offering that.

I thought we were talking about the "what a man did 50 years ago, he is not guilty for now" situations, not the "actually this man is exactly the same as he was 50 years ago and proud about it" situations. So no, if you're being a nazi today you're not decoupled from what nazis did 50 years ago, or 80 as it may.

I don't feel more sympathy for the surgeon because he is more successful, but because he provides more value. Some people, on the other hand, enjoy a lot of success in ventures that provide negative value to many, and I prefer the welfare leech to them.

Because (and when) I can be sure that the current government will treat me better than the other guys.
The other guys marching in with tanks and artillery seems to make people less assured that they'd be better than the current government.

I'll say it again that private profiles shouldn't exist. If ad-hominems happen, let them be dealt with within the rules. Posting history is information, and shedding light on it is according to the website's principles.

When in a high-trust environment or trying to build one, it would be customary to resolve disputes with neighbours personally and amicably before resorting to state force.

The idea I got is that /u/SkookumTree wants it to be stupid, because it's noble to do stupid shit or something.
Needless to repeat, I disagree. Doing retarded shit isn't noble, it's retarded. When women do become attracted to a man after he did something retarded, it's in spite of retardation - it's because it was also cool (the "Hock" isn't) or netted him value (the "Hock" doesn't) or was noble-noble not "retarded-noble" (the "Hock" is not).
By the way, /u/SkookumTree, before you show your idea to anyone else, please don't call it some cringy neologism that sounds like one of the worst terms PUAs coined because they thought it's gotta be original and catchy.

Yes. Do you believe it makes no sense?
"You can receive X benefit but only after an unpleasant process, which itself serves partly as deterrent to prevent frivolous abuse" is not without precedent.

Consider that the next iteration of targeted ads is not to recommend you the product you 'genuinely are interested in', but to manipulate you in a more targeted way than generic manipulative ads.

It makes sense to speak against lockdowns because they were actually harmful in ways you can describe, like the guy above with his children who couldn't do speech therapy with masks on, or because they were dumb and unproductive/counterproductive towards their stated goal. Or it makes sense to speak against the government for moving the goalposts and Fauci-ing it up.
Tophattingson on the other hand, the whole idea I get from his posts, is all about how they're bad because they're somewhat like imprisonment according to its dictionary definition, and imprisonment is against human rights as written by libertarians, and therefore they must be the Worst Evil Ever. I cannot help but associate this kind of legalesthetic thinking and tunnel vision with sovereign citizens.
I would be prepared to forgive and forget if they were taught as a ‘never again’ moment and written into history books as the worst human rights violations in the modern west
Do you honestly believe they were the worst human rights violation, or is it just a condition for forgiving and forgetting?

If they asked me, “Are you glad that Mr. Schizo is dead?” How could I credibly answer “no, this is a terrible tragedy, I never wanted to take someone’s life” when I’ve got a backlog of posts here saying explicitly that I believe that schizophrenic street criminals’ lives have no value whatsoever and that the world would be better if all of them were summarily rounded up and sent to gulags or executed?
You only need to believe that it would've been better that Mr Schizo was miraculously cured of schizoism enough to not attack people in order to honestly say "no, I didn't want him to die".

Nobility, as far as I understand it, is about owning land, developing it and those who dwell on it and protecting it and them from harm. (Whatever "bloodline" and "good stock" are, they only contribute to nobility as much as they contribute to what nobles do). Perhaps Burdensome has neglected to mention everything he does that makes him, as he puts it, "better", but from what I gathered from his post he moves money around the Western market and earns a premium based on how much of it ends up in his employers' hands. Hardly evokes an image of a noble patriarch, that.

There are principles like "I won't do a viscerally horrifying thing like killing a child" and there are principles like "I won't stop people from distributing any sort of information on the platform I administrate".
Regular Reddit app is shit. People use unofficial apps that rely on the API. API changes kill unofficial apps.
