Journal by The Mighty Buzzard

It used to slightly tweak my nose when the weaponized outrage mob on the left complained of not feeling safe. Primarily because they'd say it in response to someone doing nothing but disagreeing with them or even simply saying something they didn't want to hear. Since neither of those remotely implies impending violence, I figured they're either lying or so paranoid that they need to be institutionalized and medicated.

Nowadays though, I count it as a happy thing. Turns out it's usually a combination of them lying and being extremely fragile little pussies. That sets me up to call them out on both counts and I genuinely enjoy doing so.

    You act like a grade-schooler, you get treated like one. Let the grownups know when you're ready for your big boy pants. Hopefully that'll be sometime before the heat death of the universe.

    I mean, I get that he's not really posted anything of substance either, but again I'll ask, are you not able to contribute anything constructive at all?

    You're often well spoken, logical, even incisive. Yet in this thread all you do is sling grade-school insults. I'm not trying to be flippant or insulting in any way, I'm genuinely curious why you would do this?

      1) So anyone seeing this thread doesn't think Uzzard gets to spew his self-serving bullshit unopposed, 2) So anyone seeing this thread can *also* see he's got fuck-all else when called on it, 3) Because I feel like it :)

      Tone trolling has replaced patriotism as the last refuge of the scoundrel. Taking the high road when your opponent constantly takes the low road is not a winning strategy, and neither you nor anyone else is going to tone-troll me into doing so. Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty. And yes, I'm aware of the proverb about not wrestling with a pig in the mud, but sometimes it needs to be pointed out that the other person *is* a pig, as some people might not be aware of that fact.

          When called out on it, yes. You were perfectly serious beforehand.

          That's something you assholes all have in common: if someone confronts you, you go "GOOOOODDDD, I was just JOKING, can't you fragile snowflakes take some SATIRE?!" It's Schroedinger's Satire, of course; utterly serious until someone challenges you about it. Who the fuck do you think you fool?

                That you are insane is not an insult. It's a fact. I mean anyone else can look to this very conversation and see who's been spewing the insults but to you it just can't register as true. I don't say this to put you down, I say it so maybe one of these times it will get through your delusions that you need professional help. Badly.

                    Dude, that's below psych-anything in difficulty level. It's just paying attention to reality, not rejecting it for not fitting what you want to believe, and having a modicum of common sense. Come to think of it, that list does seem pretty fucking difficult for a lot of people lately.

                  Insults don't make someone wrong. Sometimes they're perfectly well-deserved. And you're not fooling anyone by pretending to have the moral high ground here, not least because you're so low you'd need to look up to see a snake's arsehole in a wagon rut...and you'd better salute it and say "sir" when you do. The delusional one here is you, if you think the greater part of this forum's audience doesn't know you for what you are already.

                  Once more: tone-trolling has replaced patriotism as the last refuge of the scoundrel. If you think I'm too spicy for your delicate little palate, feel free to leave.

            "It's Schroedinger's Satire, of course; utterly serious until someone challenges you about it."

            Well, that's generally how jokes work. They take one down a plausible road up to a point where it seems serious and then they suddenly shift the camera and it's a totally different scene, so to speak. That moment when serious gets flipped to ludicrous is the moment of relief that makes you laugh.

            Not that I've seen much humor in this JE.

                  Shitposting would be me posting something idiotic as if I were on their side. This wasn't meant to be effective. They aren't capable of listening to anything that conflicts with their preconceived notions. Their masters have seen to that quite thoroughly. This was just shaming them a little bit more towards the breaking point, so they'll hit a crisis point and the shit in their heads will have to change in some manner.

        It would be nice if we could have differences of opinion without them becoming so personal that we're calling each other pigs.

        You don't like his ideas, you don't like his posts, fine, legit. You say you do this so that others will see him for a pig - not so they'll reject his bad ideas. Why make this so personal?

        Don't you think it possible that he has his ideas because of his life's experience up to this point, not because he's a (rhetorical, I know) non-human?

          Don't be naive, Arik. As I said just before in this very thread, it was known way back in Biblical times that "out of the heart's storehouse the mouth speaks." In other words, when this asshole shows you who and what he is...over and over and over again...*believe him.*

          What is difficult about this? If I thought he wasn't a human I wouldn't waste my virtual breath; he'd have an excuse then. But he *is* a human, and that's an order of magnitude worse, because it shows what a complete waste of flesh and brain and intelligence someone can become when they willfully shove their head up their own ass and clench. That's not a good look for someone with any sort of administrative power over a discussion forum.

What do you think is insane, that I'm not an atheist and suspect to the point of belief that reincarnation is a thing? I've had evidence. Maybe it's not convincing to you, and that's fine, because you haven't. You aren't shirking your epistemological duty as far as that stuff is concerned.

                              Where you *are* going wrong is in your self-serving "libertarian" worldview. You twist and redefine words, then stick to your own bizarro-world dictionary definitions, and think your arguments somehow work in the real world. They don't. You've built yourself a tiny little toy universe, and are going around with your little sewage-filled snowglobe and telling people it's a scale model of the real thing.
