Being nice and having love

[droid]

It's not a history which will ultimately 'vindicate' either one of us. That's not how it works. Peoples sympathies will be determined by their own temperament, ethics and allegiances

There's no vindication. This is not a contest. And sure, people have their own perspectives, but I can pull dozens of quotes from dozens of threads of you calling people cunts, pricks, every name under the sun, telling them to fuck themselves, haranguing people to leave the forum and then saying that you will never back down, never apologise and never change your behaviour even one iota. Its objectively awful behaviour (uncharacteristic as well) and there's almost nothing in my record that comes close, that's just a fact.

But we've been through all this, its dull and depressing - and here we are again. Thanks Barty!

I strongly disagree with all that and also you're now not backing down after We already resolved this amicably. You're coming back to fight because your blood is up and you love it.

 

[luka]

And there's nothing wrong with that. We all know what it feel like, that surge of aggression. How wonderful it is, how energising. We all surrender to it in the way you are surrendering now, we all love it, desire it, engineer it.

 

[luka]

You more than most of us, sure, but we all do it.

 

[luka]

It's the intoxication of it isn't it? That rush that comes from knowing you're about to transgress a boundary

 

[droid]

Youre projecting again. All I feel about this is weary and sad, and its been that way for quite some time.

 

[luka]

No, you're human too. Nothing is hidden. We all know how it works

I was going to ignore until you started inadvertently (cos you're so pathetic you can't even see you're doing that) coming to the defence of some fascist.

I pointed out that josef k had been branded a nonce and that this, AFAIK, isn't true. I don't believe Hitler was a nonce, either. Am I "defending" Hitler by saying that?

You got any muslim mates, Dominic? 😂🤣🥰😏🙅🏽‍♂️😒😃🤢🤷‍♂️

Are you really going down that route? Really?

For the record, no, if you mean practicing Muslims. No practicing Christians, either. Or Jews. Or Hindus. Any of your mates regularly attend church?

If you mean people from Muslim cultural backgrounds, then yes. One of my best and oldest friends is Palestinian.

this is the dumbest fucking thread in recent history. we're all so much better than this on a daily basis.

i think it's mostly pretty good.

 

[luka]

i think my bits are all pretty good. the stuff about that surge of aggression we all get i thought was good and worth articulating. the third and tea bits are a bit weird. that's a sideshow though.

 

[Leo]

you could have articulated those thoughts in lots of other threads.

 

[luka]

yeah, but i actually articulated them in this thread! which makes this thread pretty good i reckon. im happy with it.

 

[Leo]

I'm happy for you.

 

[luka]

that sounds... insincere!

 

[Leo]

you'd be...correct!

 

[Leo]

I think social media has made me a little numb to online slights and disagreements. I don't take most things seriously enough to get upset because I don't really care, and generally believe this too shall pass and tomorrow's another day.

 

[Leo]

I care about dissensus, but believe it's strong enough to withstand plenty of shit days.

Sure they do. I'm mates with a few practising Christians and Jews, actually...

My name isn't Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins is it. Don't need to pretend I'm on some hyper-rationalistic crusade. I'm an atheist practically but I have no British values to defend ideologically.

Personally I think Joseph K calling antifa whores is worse than *goblin* (a mythical creature!) nonce, but we've really seen where your loyalties lie today.

So, as far as you're concerned, you've convicted me of being a Jew-loving Nazi?
