I understand the totalitarianism latent in the actions of liberal governments over the past few years, but the genuinely ridiculous part if it is that the ones calling it Naziism think they’re exempt. They actually believe that becoming more nationalist, more sexist, and more racist is not a...

The fools think it’s because they don’t have enough revenue when it’s because they spend too much of what doesn’t exist. The revenue they think they can extract has already been spent multiple times over. Hyperinflation in Germany in 1923 had the Deutschmark trading 4.23 trillion to one USD...

I started buying basses, amps, and effects pedals when I stopped buying figures, statues, art, comics, and movies. Done with that now too (unless I manage to find a dark blue Rickenbacker 4003, or a 70’s B.C. Rich Bich 8 string). Now I’m gravitating towards weapons. There’s a nice .357 revolver...

I’m not counseling pacifism or physical safety. Refusing to fight for any reason whatsoever is suicide. Refusing to take risks because you might get hurt is pathetic. The point of bringing my dad’s wisdom into the picture was to illuminate the fact that the choice to be violent changes a person...

I had an epiphany thinking about all of this recently. The entire forum was abandoned. The muppets had all gone home, the lights had been turned off for the last time, and you and jye were still sitting in the balcony, refusing to budge.

I think that being able to defend yourself is an essential skill for living. I don’t think that violence is a solution to anything except for preventing yourself from being a victim of violence. I do not believe that it is instinctual. People have lived violently in history only because they...

It’s funny how naming names clears things up!

I wasn’t talking about those guys. The tools here were very much the opposite of the guys who founded Bantha Skull. The analogy to this place would sound something like: the adults left because they were tired of no one doing anything about the children, and when they left, the worst of the...

You ain’t seen hyperinflation yet.

Wut?

Sure. But I think a fight is more often than not the easy way out. Interesting thing with Rebelscum is that the adults just made their own forum. At first it was a secret base of sorts, to confer privately on how to deal with expected bs from one day to the next. It evolved into a private club...

Catfish. Got called on it early, then hysterically campaigned for guys to be her hero in private messages. Spring 2008 or so. It was dramatic and hilarious. The impressive part was how quickly people figured it out and shut him down.

A code for living is crucial, and honoring your code is honoring who you are, but I meant it in terms of respect. A man is only as good as his word. Honor in the social sense is just plain not being full of it. Talking straight. Being someone who can be taken at face value. To act...

Do you remember Crix?

Oh. It was what happened at Rebelscum and it was what happened here. I don’t have experience with the Spawn board to know one way or another, but that does sound remarkably like the narrative which the persecuted children at both of the boards I did know used to nail themselves to their own...

I

There were a lot of kids in forums at one point. They were raised gaming online and learned to talk smack without consequences. I was never a member of the Spawn board, but I recall hearing how they completely destroyed it. They eventually found boards where adults frequented, and decided they...

That was gross. Who collects crap like that. 🤮

Well, then. Nothing like finding out how right you are. Thanks for that bit. I took a serious ban for confronting that garbage. Vindication is sweet.

Ye. Narcissism and trolliopathic projection. They didn’t get the difference between my hostility and theirs. I would have none were it not for things like them.
