Not very many people target ordinary honest Joe workers on the right specifically as "Nazis". Yet when they instead vaguely wave at the Red Tribe with the Nazi sign, I can see why the honest Joes shy away from them.

I think it's pretty myopic to accuse those who defend/ignore the "drag kids" thing of being conflict theorists, while ignoring how the entire "groomer" label is a conflict theory superweapon being deployed by the conflict-theory part of the right. Were I an American leftist who'd never took a step inside a drag club, or even a Pride parade, my thought process would be something like "I will only disavow this when you stop painting me with the same brush. Otherwise, if you're going to keep implying I'm part of it, well, then I'm part of it. If the penalty for surrendering is death, and the penalty for losing the battle is death..."

Sounds like we won't find out whether the Queen sends a centennial congratulations letter to herself.

This is funny enough that I don't believe it's really JB's alt.

The IQ supremacy guy in the culture war thread sounds like the teen rights high school savant guy with the book we've had.

That would fall under torturing the phrasing.

And you can't have a slogan "one name swap away" in another language because your ability to word the translation differently gives you an extra degree of freedom when doing comparisons.

I testify that this translation is exactly word for word, and the phrasing is not tortured into this form in any way.

What, do you think we all got a visit from the alphabet firms?

Memocide?

victim blaming (someone else will have to explain how sexual crimes against women are the one place where mentioning how to use your agency is a sin)

There's no shortage of stories where the victim has been using her agency and it was not enough. Usually a list of precautions and safety measures that those women take but men [in the audience] would never even consider is also provided. When put like that, it is at the very least supremely tactless to act as if the woman did not know to not go into dark alleys with strange shady men.

Sure, alright, I'll bite your bullet, not that I ever was a big NYTimes supporter. You can increase your counter of people who want KF dead and accept that NYT also deserves that by one.

regardless of what you mean by "those like you".

Those who also think they're the only ones playing by the rules.

You will take cored olives from me over my dead body

Why do you and those like you bother, then? It does look like there are people who aren't convinced by trumped-up accusations who would be convinced by a real malicious act. Or are you tribally aligned enough to treat any real flags from Kiwifarms's side as false flags?

For the first time, new technology is not only making it easier to transfer art from head to the medium, but to decide what is being put to the medium.

Random comments start as collapsed for some reason when entering a thread. They seem to have positive karma score, so what gives?

FWIW I do not think farming and eating animals is equivalent to torturing them. It lacks the element of pointless sadism.

Pact is finished.

There's first principle morals, which I assume almost no one uses in daily life, and there is aesthetical morals. Animals have aesthetical appeal. If you would torture an animal, that signals your aesthetical moral compass is off the societal baseline. I think there's a reason why "tortured animals as a kid" is a common trope for psychopaths.

I have been enjoying Pact and Pale. Its magic system is internally robust and well-developed, in my opinion. Sadly, it doesn't quite meet your criteria three times: its system has baked-in morality (though it's not linked to contemporary morality and it's one of the core conflicts of the serials that characters don't always agree with it), it is more like TVTropes than science, and Pale is ongoing.

So you're going to tell me that all those words are just a cover for gathering allies for one last fedpost (even though you claimed you do not hope to gain any allies)? If there is no place in life for ideas and ideals, then there is no place for this discussion. Let you be off to committing political violence or else shying away from it in perpetuity, and me be off to believing in my side's core values and watching you self-destruct.

Those who say the words are my enemy. Those who bend the knee are my enemy. Those who internalized it are my enemy. I don't care about inscrutable motives and complicated internal states - I care about what you actually do.

'What you actually do' and how many people actually do it can vary very sharply depending on whether they consider you an enemy. The acts you've described are committed and spurred on by an intractable minority of those you have named your enemies. That minority can grow or shrink depending on how you present your side to those who are not intractable.

"They" embraced naked might and optics, and you're not good at them. You were wondering why bad things work for the left tribe but not for yours: if you're at all interested in my opinion, this is why. The real meme magic is to believe in virtue even when your side's loudest and strongest stomp on it. There's nothing more revolting than those who have lost the meme magic, who have lost even the 'right' in 'might makes right' and are left to only worship 'might makes'.

There are those who have internalized the ideology, and there are those who were forced to bend the knee and say the words, and there are those who say the words not when forced but out of habit. You seem to conflate all those groups into Tentacles. Not very good for your strategy, if true.

Being a tentacle would imply that they were one all along.

Ultimately, though I do sincerely advocate in favor of political violence

It is very stupid to advocate it somewhere other than your gathering of blood-sworn battle brothers. Whatever allies you hoped to stir to action are mixed with opponents who see you abandon the idea of moral high ground and resign to abandoning theirs.
