Malding in Stormwind

[Soulburn-argent-dawn]

Who are you even arguing with at this point. Is this practice for your entrylevel political philopshy class? If so good luck with the exam.

[Paxmillian-argent-dawn]

What has PCU got to do with it anyway (another non PCU here btw).

So posters agreeing you’re posting waffle is PCU conspiracy but when that random pandarenx2 and that velf hunter nod their heads to every single post you make its because you’re posting hot takes and not because they’re simply e-liking someone because they know they’ll oppose posters they experience criticism from.

We have a mechanisation for removing blinkers. I know a guy.

There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. The man who is wrong still retains some respect for truth, if only by accepting the responsibility of choice. But the man in the middle is the knave who blanks out the truth in order to pretend that no choice or values exist, who is willing to sit out the course of any battle, willing to cash in on the blood of the innocent or to crawl on his belly to the guilty, who dispenses justice by condemning both the robber and the robbed to jail, who solves conflicts by ordering the thinker and the fool to meet each other halfway. In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit. In that transfusion of blood which drains the good to feed the evil, the compromise is the transmitting rubber tube.

Your point was to demean my position, so I’d say I’m arguing with you right now.

I’m trying to show you where I come from, and why I don’t shy away from what I said.

Quote a real philosopher then we’ll talk.

It’s easier to pretend that everyone who agrees with you is in the same faction when you don’t have any arguments that don’t sound like they came from cleverbot left

However Athramus is right in that you should also join the PCU

Okay, but I don’t think that the Roleplay forums under the post “Malding in Stormwind” is the place for discussing your theortical politics and applying it for RP drama completely unrelated to the thread going on.

Even if it was related I feel announcing yourself loudly as being “Centrist” is just the weak man’s defence where you sit on the fence so your position cannot be attacked. When it’s incredibly obvious you already picked a side and is weirdly only attacking the pcu people in the thread.

My computer is packed up ATM so no easy play but I was thinking of sticking my nose back in the RP game after a few months break but unsure of whether any guilds out there suit my boy here.

Revelation 3:16

So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

Would you say the Holy Bible was spitting absolute + with this quote, Yue?

[Paxmillian-argent-dawn]

Pretty sure Rand is a philosopher irrespective of whether you agree with them or not. You don’t get to decide that. And you have to be a pretty arrogant individual to think you can.

Irrespective or whether she wrote garbage she had a heck of a lot more clout in influencing thinking that you. So if a "non real " philosopher does that, what are you?

Oh wait, I know, an enlightened soloist who can pierce the veil nobody else can see through. Get over yourself, you sound ridiculous.

Actually love this post! Makes me want to support OOCers more firmly instead of sitting middle! I got no issue with OOCers like raiders and such who don’t grief!

Also what’s up with people using ad hominem left and right! Blizzard used to be way more trigger happy with bans!

If you bothered to read the topic, you’ll notice it was a reference to another discussion, where it was an epiteth I received, rather than formulated myself. I simply said why I don’t mind that, and I think it’s an enlightened position.

I respect those who just want memes and sh1tposting, but let me have fun in my own way okay? You can do your thing right below this post.

Edit.

@Paxmillian-argent-dawn

You don’t get to decide that. And you have to be a pretty arrogant individual to think you can.

There’s actually a debate about Rand - a lot of philosophers don’t consider Rand a philosopher. It was a reference only a man of culture would understand.

Can I expect a summary hammered to my local church door?

Source please. I really wonder what philosopher would stand up and go like “lul he ain’t one”.

For all her popularity, however, only a few professional philosophers have taken her work seriously. As a result, most of the serious philosophical work on Rand has appeared in non-academic, non-peer-reviewed journals, or in books, and the bibliography reflects this fact. We discuss the main reasons for her rejection by most professional philosophers in the first section.

There. One of the most trustworthy websites about philosophy. Is that good enough for you?

What the hell is a professional philosopher! Are your ideas less important unless you get paid for them / get published! Who’s to decide! LOL!

Imagine unironically needing to appeal to the authority of Stanford Ideas Guys to ignore subjective ideas because you’re unwilling to confront the quote with your own brainpower.

cringe, honestly
