why is dissensus an asylum?

Padraig is Irish, it's true, but he's an IRA anti-british terrorist. Maybe he can induct you into the cult.

Padraig's anger issues preclude him from doing anything for me, I'm afraid.

This thread provides no answers, simply stressing the urgency of the question.

We are the Merry Pranksters, and the forum is our Furthur.

I love how this thread amply answers the question in the title.

Greater forces - the twitterfication of our minds and attention spans, this place is becoming a self contained and self referential sit com with no meaningful output and no connection to the real world

I warned about this with the site upgrade and the likes and all that to. And im the worst culprit too. My posts have got gradually shorter over time. It would be better if Sufi banned me posting after 8pm and put a minimal word count, maybe 250 words minimum. Cut out the lads whatsapp stuff

‘greater forces’ is a good answer to any question by the way - have that one for free. “Well I think it’s obviously down to greater forces” do it with a shrug, raise the eyebrow, don’t explain yourself. Walk away. Greater forces. Powerful and mysterious line and also definitely true, irrefutable.

Gee whiz do you guys just want me to leave? Because I can leave, permanently.

I think that would be for the best, given this forum is almost entirely comprised of visually impaired (blind) users and you are clearly bigoted towards blindness as a mental state.

How are they reading the posts if they're blind?

Why are you being an ableist bigot? Are you saying blind people are incapable of reading?

Borges claimed he could read while blind. Do you think that's true?

of course! He would not be the first, nor the last. It's only small minded bigots such as yourself who are incapable of conceptualising this.

Is there scientific evidence to support your opinion?

reams and reams of it.

But, you don't respect blind people, so noone is obliged to respect you. simple.

The funny thing is, I'm actually somewhat of an activist supportive of disabled people, just like Judith Butler. But you've never actually said anything about how to actually fight ableism or help the lives of disabled people.

That's not very funny, and I don't need to tell you because you are an ableist. I'm not obliged to educate you, even if you are an activist.

 

[CorpseysEvilTwin]

do you want to have a romance-cum-sexual encounter with Judith Butler? She's not into you, you know that, don't you?

 

[?!..!?]

"I'm not obliged to educate you" is anti-intellectualism.

 

[?!..!?]

P.S: Judith Butler is one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century, full stop.

It might be, but then do you expect black people to educate white people such as yourself? Because I think the audacity to ask people your ancestors enslaved to cater to your every whim is messed up.

But I'm Jewish, so my ancestors weren't slave owners.

Every person, regardless of their identity group, should give knowledge to others. That's just a part of being a good citizen. Oh, but you don't care about being a good citizen because you reject democracy.
