It's not any more crazy than people committing actual violence in real life, like murdering someone, and only getting properly arrested months later after an investigation has taken place. Somehow we've managed to survive with tha

This thread is talking about an example of doxxing on a much larger scale than anything that has ever happened on 4chan. What's your point?

President Trump supported the Capitol -protests-, not the invasaion. The media has worked very hard to conflate the two. Nobody wants our institutional buildings to be invaded. That was also a general and very peaceful invasion, not people

What's gross is people defending the burning down of small businesses during a pandemic. Either way, reasonable people who don't defend violence in either case are irrelevant, because things happen through violence regardless. Wha

Facts don't exist when we're talking about politics and power. If you believe they do you have a hopelessly naive view of the world. But I'm similarly not going to spend time lecturing you about it.

Wrong. They came to the same conclusion at the same time because their side of the battle finally won and now they can punish their enemies safely. That's all there is to it. Anything else is a rationalization. In the future if the oth

Your claim that people learning to play the game "effectively removes the benefit" of procgen content is false. Games like Spelunky are played by people for much longer than the average indie game precisely because the process of

I agree with you! The way the police acts is often awful and overly broad. I'm all for diminishing their power. But this makes your comment down the thread even more confusing. You said: "He's trying to be clever and say &quo

Well, how do you know that 5G doesn't cause Coronavirus when it's February and no one knows anything about the virus? We now know that both subjects are unrelated, but I followed this virus from early January and it took the gener

That's fine. Humanity has survived much bigger problems in the past, and I'm sure we'll be able to get by just fine now. And as an added note, as I personally have no appreciation for democracy, in my opinion anything that di

That depends on the post. For instance, I believe that democracy is a mistake and we should be ruled by an authoritarian king. You probably believe this to be a lie, and that I'm likely being manipulated by social media. But I believe

If everyone is being manipulated how do you stop misinformation in a fair manner? We can't even agree on what is information and what is misinformation. Surely you understand how stopping misinformation is bad if people can't agre

Maybe people wouldn't so easily believe in alternative narratives if people in power didn't also lie all the time? No one believes in the media anymore for a reason. People don't believe in scientists anymore for a reason. Pe

Democracy also depends on elections not being rigged. There's plenty of credible evidence that things were off this election if you bothered to look into the claims. There's obviously also plenty of false stuff, but that doesn&#x2

I've posted a lot of threads here and you have no control over what people will find controversial or not. If you post a thread and it hits people's nerves it generally happens accidentally. And "profiting off it" is alw

I don't think we disagree and I don't know why you responded to my comment with this. Even Yarvin himself sort of agrees with you (starting at the Extending Economics section) https://graymirror.substack.com/p&#x2F
