Why now?  Is it that his recent criticism of political correctness had stirred controversy where his apology for the mass murder of class enemies has not?

While it's safe to say I don't agree with a lot of what he says, he is up there with the most intelligent, interesting and generally gun posters on the Atlas. Clear FF, and his high HP vote says a lot about the forum these days......

Probably a nice and well meaning guy IRL, who is knowledgable and articulate, but his support for genocide, regicide and massacres makes him a HP.

Precisely. Being ok with mass murder is a deal breaker.

I have strong disagreements with his ideology (that might come as a shock to many of you).  His pro-murder pro-destroy communism makes me, as a somewhat (emphasis) paciifist green anarchist, retch at times.  However at the end of he day we do agree fundamentally that the rich will one day get what they deserve, so take that as you will.

He is also, like has been noted before, one of the more intelligent members of the "left" on this board (many of whom pretend to understand the class war yet at the same time tend to view a pretty large segment of the poor as "subhuman" and even defend disgusting things like cultural elitism).  He has perhaps, possibly through his own background as well as his education and research, a much better understanding of the class war than the vast majority of us, including myself.

Total FF, despite his pro-murder tendencies.

I like how a lot of people regard an intelligent and/or non-tedious leftist as some sort of alarming and freakish anamoly.

Can't say I'm too happy with him right now. Still an intelligent individual, and a FF on par, but some of his more recent posts have been rather...well, unfavourable.

Perhaps it would help if you pulled the stick out of your Ares, good sir.

Lol, autocorrect.

I need to pull a stick out of my ass over him defending murder and the use of demeaning slurs? If that qualifies as having a stick in my ass, then I guess I'll keep that stick in there.

Given that my primary use of this forum is for information and entertainment, TNF is an FF, as he serves both those purposes. Fun to see the forum's liberal elites gang up on someone to their left for a change.

Like I said his pro-murder schtick is a bit disturbing, but jesus dude do you really have that much time in your day to write up five page theses on why Iggy Whatthewasthatonetrannyrapper's name act is a crime of genocide against black people or some sh*t?

I guess that is what my (and many others) issues is with you and other tumblr activista types Carl.  Sure, some idiot calls somebody a n they should get the sh*t beaten out of them. I won't argue that.  However, should we also spend half of our time waiting to pounce on somebody for saying the word "retarded" the wrong way?  And don't give me any bull about how you are acting like this to try to correct people, it is obvious to anybody with an above room temperature IQ level that you are doing this only to feel better about yourself.  Your exercises in self-righteousness have done jack sh*t to help your causes, and you know it.


EDIT: I really don't give a sh*t about how much this impacts your view of me.  So go ahead an write up your MECHAMAN IS A HORRIBLE HORRIBLE MAN posts because I won't cry about it.  I am not on here to impress or suck anyone's cock, unlike some people.

Yes, R2D2 is the unreasonable and self-righteous one here, not the guy writing a three paragraph screed full of profanity when he is told not to use the word "retard" as a slur or an insult. Roll Eyes

I don't have any different an opinion of you, because I've known you long enough to know that this is simply how you are and you don't care what others have to say, so I won't bother.

My concern is that you take my beliefs as being self-righteous, and you imply (or, flat out say, rather) that I only hold them so I can feel smart. I wasn't right to go on as long a tirade as I did against Iggy Azalea, and I admit I went overboard in some of my statements of her impact on culture, but to say that I hold those beliefs in the first place because I'm concerned about feeling smart is pretty harsh, and just factually incorrect.

The problem here isn't that I want to feel smart, it's that I want people to stop demeaning other people for things out of their control. You blatantly say it's wrong for a white person to use the n-word (obviously because we as a society have accepted that as wrong) and yet you have no problem with people using a term that demeans the mentally disabled, so long as it's not used in a hateful way? So is it okay for white people to say the n-word so long as it has the a at the end? Or is it okay to use the -er ending if it's meant in a friendly way?

You can't be two-faced about this. You have to apply a blanket attitude towards all slurs, not just some of them. Pardon the following terms, but I have to use them to get my point across...there's a reason why we don't say "n" anymore, and it's because the word was used out of hate. If we as a society accept that, we must accept that we can't use "retarded" or even "chink", "spic", "f****t", etc. under ANY circumstance, because all of those words are rooted in hatred as well. If someone calls one a "retard", they're not commenting literally on their mental state (in 99% of cases, at least in casual conversation) they're trying to insult that person's intelligence. They're calling them dumb. They're equating the word "retard" and being mentally handicapped with being "ordinarily stupid", or ignorant. People with mental handicaps aren't dumb, nor or they ignorant. That's why I have a problem with the usage of that word.

So if my reputation around here is that I'm the "tumblr activista" who is upset by the fact that human adults can't choose a more creative insult than "retard" or whatever, then I take no shame in that whatsoever. But it's when you call my beliefs drummed up, and attempt to paint me as just a contrarian who doesn't care about the people I'm trying to defend, but rather as someone whose interests are selfish is what I'm upset by. It's more upsetting coming from someone who knows me well enough to know that the passion I feel about certain topics is genuine.

Did the fact that TNF is not a tumblr socialist upset you?

Ideological differences aside, I find his attitude extremely irritating at times. Still, he's a principled and articulate poster who often provides an interesting perspective and puts effort into a lot of his posts. Obvious FF.

This basically.

You must have a very odd definition of interesting, then.
