If you think ..."Rome continues to burn."<br /><br />If you think that there are bigger problems in the world than what I write about in my posts, then instead of not reading them and leaving comments that make you look like an idiot, a liar, or both, just don't comment at all. It's an option people commonly exercise when they haven't read the selection presented, and leads to fewer misunderstandings.<br /><br />(TRY TO READ, IF NOTHING ELSE, THIS NEXT SHIT)<br /><br />I don't care "the manly brass tacks of the sport," whatever those are, although you apparently do. It doesn't concern me that individual dipshits are lying for effect -- there is nothing new there. But now the media are getting involved and people are being dragged for real. If you have no problem with that, again, move the fuck on to whatever you find more important in life.<br /><br />(YOU CAN STOP NOW IF YOU WANT)<br /><br />Your pussified, equivocating "I actually see problems on both sides, but your side should shut up" is unconvincing -- you just don't want these SJW assholes criticized, for acutely personal reasons. You live near the censorship capital of the United States. Just own it.<br /><br />Either way, everyone you want to pipe down about certain things has been advised You can stop typing and put your thumb back in your mouth or ass wherever it was before.kemibehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843360441074102811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217271428057557189.post-1021174213194189222021-03-05T17:40:02.343-08:002021-03-05T17:40:02.343-08:00Thank you for your input, but neither Kevin nor I ...Thank you for your input, but neither Kevin nor I lie to prove a point. This isn't about a disagreement; it's about people being dishonest and tossing out loaded insults instead of simply offering a viewpoint. Calling someone who is acting like a bully a bully is not the same thing as calling someone a racist or a bigot or a Nazi; it's just not.

As I said, here we are again, wading right back into the muck of online grievance. <br /><br />What's interesting is that I agree with Kevin on a fair amount: the insidiousness of "woke capital" (what we used to critique as 'cultural capitalism' in academia), the fact that "inclusivity" discourse often avoids reckoning with material structures of inequality and power, and the civics-sapping nature of social media outrage. <br /><br />But, at the risk of repeating myself, I think this "very online" debate is stuck in self-reinforcing grievance: both sides are pointing at each other saying, "You're a cancel-culture bully!" "No, you're a racist!" "No, you're a gaslighting moron." <br /><br />Meanwhile, Rome continues to burn.<br /><br />Lize, to your point, there are better ways to disagree. And this ain't it.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for the post. <br />Sam Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04515534179065532478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217271428057557189.post-9231333733025591362021-03-03T20:06:44.902-08:002021-03-03T20:06:44.902-08:00At the risk of repeating myself:
The misrepresent...At the risk of repeating myself:<br /><br />The misrepresentations of my and others' writing appear to be the result of either not actually reading it--at least not for comprehension--or simply lying about it. But another, even more possibility exists, and that is that this crowd agrees that the lying and gaslighting antics of anti-white racists and anti-female gender activists are perfectly okay, even desirable, even though their only outcomes can be bad ones.<br /><br />The other thing about the willful dismissal of older running voices is that it's not just bad marketing strategy, it makes these color-and size-crazed influencers who can barely move in a straight line or write their way out of a wet paper back look like fucking morons. Some of them genuinely are, but most have just been transfixed by Wokism and are intellectually worthless in these conversations as a result.<br /><br />They know this, and it's why they do what little they can to try to limit the spread of my posts.<br /><br />I can, like you say, tolerate criticism of my writing quite well (I prefer it to be on point rather than blind so I can improve) and -- unlike Wokish people -- I don't think all of my views are unassailable. But when people start the canceling and attempts at censorship -- and this is well underway, because both Murphy and Schranz's commenters have taken aim at them for sharing my stuff even without comment -- that's when I start to really fight.<br /><br />And I am not a coward who makes idle threats against inanimate screen shots, nor am I in the "Let's ruin that person's life over this!" camp. But I want people to start answering for what they say and do, and I'm not the only "old" person who feels this way (and could still outrun a 10-person relay team of these shuffling goobers over any distance).kemibehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843360441074102811noreply@blogger.com
