Journal by aristarchus

The past is prologue! What has been, will be again. Amor Fati!

Once again, aristarchus submissions are being suppressed! By this I mean, not rejected, but hidden, concealed, obscurated. These three submissions are listed as "accepted", but do not appear in the queue, or anywhere else.
US Army veteran among group of suspected neo-Nazis arrested by FBI on gun charges
White nationalist who spoke at Charlottesville arrested on fugitive warrant charges
3 Alleged Members Of Hate Group 'The Base' Arrested In Georgia

Yes, typical aristarchus submissions. Fake accepted just to mess with me? Or deep-sixed to keep coverage of alt-right terrorism off of SoylentNews? Possibly related to the recent threading bug TMB has discovered? Or another "Athanasius" scenario? QAnon, or Lizard People?

*****
Update: more rejected submissions, as the Hate goes down in Virginia.
Proud Boy "Tiny" Toese Pleads Guilty to 2018 Assault
And,
What is The Base? FBI arrest of alleged white supremacists puts focus on extremist group

And,
‘Emasculated’ Virginia gun nuts mocked for ‘purchasing toys, dressing up in costumes, and fantasizin (one of my personal favorites!)

And,
ALEX JONES CRUISES THROUGH STREETS IN INFOWARS 'BATTLE TANK' AS PROUD BOYS JOIN HIM AT VIRGINIA, the crazy does not get any more crazy than this, unless it is Texans in Congress.
****
New excuse for censorship on SoylentNews! Makes me feel so much better. Here it is:

Thank you for your submission. Unfortunately it does not meet the criteria spelled out in the submission guidelines, which can be found at https://soylentnews.org/faq.pl?op=editorial and has therefore been removed from the submissions queue. Please consider revising it based on the submission guidelines and resubmitting. Alternately you could consider posting it as a journal entry.

Yup, gonna revise this an resubmit! That'll work! Nothing like getting around censorship by doing exactly what the censors want! Hooboy! I feel a spate of submissions about alt-right Neo-nazi really stupid racists and Trump supporters coming on! Pray that the fetuses of Evangelical miscarry! Turn about is fair play. Oh, and TMB is behind on his payments.

    Are you saying I am not aristarchus? Given your inability to understand Brexit, I question your ability to question my identity.

    It is you that is misunderstanding Brexit with regards to myself. You accuse me of being a Brexiteer yet I live in France - where I will be remaining. Perhaps the EU will be better off without the UK as a member just as much as the UK hopes to be better off without the burden of federalism being pushed upon it. I'm not saying that I believe either of those to be necessarily true, but you certainly don't know my views on Brexit.

    I will suggest that I do understand how the British population is thinking right now more than you do. I am in daily contact with many people in the UK who have expressed the reason why they voted as they did - both for and against - and many of those reasons have not been as well publicised as those that the mainstream media seem to concentrate on.

    You are the person who uses the Aristarchus identity on this site. You are NOT Aristarchus of Samos who was an ancient astronomer and mathematician.

        Pretentious idiot. What on earth do you think that proves?

        I suppose that you feel you are spoken down to again. Well what makes you think that you are superior in any way to any other member of our community? You are just another community member.

          OH, janrinok! I just assumed you could read greek, and probably Latin and Sanskrit. My bad.

            I can translate it - I had no problem doing that. But why should you feel the need to use any language other than English on an English-language site?

            I can speak some German, Russian, French and the original Serbo-Croat from before the Balkan wars. All irrelevant here.

              Another crime against humanity by the Brits! Besides all the imperialism and racism, the spread of one of the least suitable languages across the globe as a horrific lingua franca! We would be better off with French, or Latin, or even Chinese.

              英語是種邪惡的語言!

                Probably best you go and join one of the sites that supports those languages then.... But stay here as well; for all of your foibles you are one of our community.
