It’s something I find rather petty (especially when you have 19 members of your community liking your post - and then Telaryn) and it’s one of those things whose departure from the forum culture would really improve the level of the discussion.
I just upvote with posts I agree with. I’m not a member of their community despite Perroy’s efforts to shanghai me into one of his guilds
And to be really honest dude you just post things that are really hard to sympathise with like your racial views on economics and supporting griefers in the other thread.
Not PCU here and I barely upvote posts. You just come across as “mental gymnastics”, the guy, trying to justify ideas that are frankly stupid
I think you mean to say “not yet”
Only a matter of time…
Not to mention, being an insensitive dick yet keep the facade of rightousness.
Face it, Telaryn… just like me, we’re all part of the…
ominous music plays
Federation of Evil
How do ERPers fit into this discussion! Are they RPers or OOCers! Or maybe a third faction!
Why?
You don’t have to actually sell your soul, just a token part, really, a trifle…
echoes in Telaryn’s head “One of ussss…”
Honestly something so simple as none of the guild concepts are what I’m looking for. I’m just not the target demo
I just upvote with posts I agree with.
As you say, you don’t like me because I am a centrist who thinks we don’t have to be bigots/radicals to resolve things in our community. I’m sure you have your reasons to root for the worst in the server.
racial views on economics
So this is the real reason, is it?
I never said they were race-based, and I never said (as some people interpreted) that divide in economics are explained by biology. I just said our biological luggage plays a factor when it comes to performance in jobs - many people don’t like that and neither do I.
Ironically, I have actually learned this thing while making a paper against the idea that biology should be considered an important factor. But in the end I surrendered to the evidence I found, because that is what science demands, that you accept that we live in a world that can really suck, and we must work from there to improve it.
Ah, I can respect that. Obviously, the ‘why’ question was mostly just my chance to throw in an Ursula line, not to actually attempt to pressure you!

Just want griefing to stop, it’s that simple.

Not the sole reason, but little things stack up over time that really rub you off the wrong way.

The specific wording you used is that ethnic minorities “aren’t into management” and therefore them being “unable to afford a porsche” as a result of that is on them. I’m sure you can agree on just how insensitive that comes across.
Everyone is and should be equal. And on paper the system is supposed to work like that, but in reality it doesn’t and the hot takes you took were either really naive or misinformed of the whole picture leading to the socioeconomic circumstances many minorities come from. Laziness isn’t it.

it’s cool boo

Is Fortnite overrated

It does. It was meant to be a provocation to someone who was, under the lines, accusing me of being a n*zi. Something that (also for personal reasons) really rubs me the wrong way.
Everyone is and should be equal.
I think this statement is true. But it’s really hard to figure out what is the best solution. You see, if you think it’s just oppression from above, people are going to focus a lot on all the issues that come from above (which DO exist) and to interpret everything that stops a minority from growing as part of that narrative, thus ignoring important cultural aspects (of an ethnic group or what-you-have) that aren’t fitting in a certain society, among other things.
Laziness isn’t it.
You have never been in southern Italy have you.
I am a centrist
You should’ve just said you were slow from the start. Then we could have saved so much time.
The way I see radicals is usually people who are unwilling to accept other people’s values, as they believe that humanity should be like they want it to be.
I believe this approach is connected to an idealized idea of humanity that doesn’t fully work in practice, makes people worse, and that it’s better to have people find their own way by making mistakes as they progress with their life, rather than force them to be something they aren’t.
Real politics hour now boys.

Is this the ultimate example of a midwit post
