Throw It On The Pile

@throwitonthepile

All these used to be tabs, I'm trying to break that habit.

See, it’s funny, because a lot of the people I see who use the word are explicitly anti-statist and anti-authoritarian.

And it’s also funny that OP said something vague, and then expected people to understand them perfectly, in a post justifying making strong assumptions about other people’s politics because they used a single specific word.

And it won’t surprise anyone to learn that OP has me pre-blocked.

Anything that isn’t uwu special affirmation for uwu special babby can only otherwise be neck-stomping, people-burning, soul-crushing facism.

No gray area, and no other interpretation.

Even funnier thing to imagine: resurrecting Diogenes too and telling him that “Platonic” relationships means not fucking, he’d probably laugh himself back to death.

So I actually know the origin of this term because it came up when I studied Plato in my classes.  Basically, in ancient Greece it was a super common practice for teachers to fuck their students.  Like all the time.  It was considered a way for the student to “pay” the teacher.  Plato thought this was bullshit.  He felt that a student could not properly learn from someone who was truly only interested in having sex with them.  He didn’t fuck his students and derided those who did.  Other teachers who refused to fuck their students were said to have “platonic” teaching relationships with them – so named because they were following Plato’s example.  So the reason it’s called a Platonic relationship is because Plato was heavily anti-teachers-fucking-their-students and it’s one of the few things he was ever even remotely correct about.

Also "We just want to make sure only sane people have guns" would have very slightly more merit (not really) as an argument if the people saying it hadn't spent the last three years loudly declaring that they considered not unquestioningly trusting the government to be a sign of mental illness.

Or had like ten mental illnesses in their bio

Remember when the Soviet Union declared “not loving communism” as a mental illness as an excuse to lock up political dissidents?

Good times.

Like on one hand honest communication yadda yadda but on the other hand just packing them sandwiches and waiting to see how long it takes them to realize is hilarious.

This is hilarious. So back in 2018, Captain Disillusion did a video debunking the Virgin Mary version of this video, showing that the original video was a trash bin. But as part of the joke, he edited a buddha statue over it, to show off how you’d do the visual effects correctly and better. 

This is that edit. This is literally a fake video, from someone who specializes in identifying fake videos. Amazing.

I mean yeah the water doesn’t interact with the base of the statue at all but on the other hand it’s funny and isn’t that what really matters?

American Headline News, more like Daily Mass-Shooting Report.

Yeah... Have you noticed the most violent places are democrat run cities with the most gun control and the most vulnerable are places democrats have banned guns, making the people there completely defenseless? I've noticed this. It makes me realize gun controllers are evil. 

Well yeah if you ignore all facts and truth and just say stupid shit, sure, anything is possible!

...I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not.

No sarcasm. Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, New York, LA and the list goes on. All democrat run with democrat gun control and violent as all hell. And 94% of public mass murders take place in gun free zones. 

Gun control doesn't work. It just enables criminals and mass murderers. 

Gun controllers are evil.

It's one of those interestingly fucky things where large urban centers are, in fact, the place where a majority of gun violence and bad policing happens. One could very easily argue that it's a factor of population density and that can be a factor, but it doesn't erase that fact.

The next interesting point is that almost all large urban centers favor democrats, and have had a majority of democrats winning both local and federal positions.

This leads to the very interesting correlary that the places with the most attention to major crimes and police misconduct (as well as those places with the largest amount of violent street crime) always have democrat run leadership.

This isn't even some kind of strange kind of bullshit, this is actively true and actually real.

And when anyone brings it up, the immediate response is, well...

"Well yeah if you ignore all facts and truth and just say stupid shit, sure, anything is possible!

...I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not."

Sorry OP, but this is just how things actually are, and part of the reason it is this bad is BECAUSE how often people aggressively work to ignore the problems that exist.

Evidence? At all? For any of this?

Give me a Murdoch rag article at least.

Try. Please.

Go look for yourself. Organize by murder, see the statistics. Top five.

Your refusal to accept how things are is not a rebuttal. The world is not as you expect, nobody's surprised at that, you respond to the truth with outright denials. Hell, I even expect your next response to come with a block.

“refusal is not rebuttal” is a good line
