Evolution's for chumps. I prefer PoopFling®, the social media for real people.

Someone doesn’t know what the internet has become 🤔

Someone sounds a lot like a fair-weather American. Things start looking bad for white Christian dominance, make liberalism and inclusivity truth and justice the enemy and burn it down: This is where we claimed to out of barbarism:

Counterspeech Doctrine

The counterspeech doctrine, first articulated by Louis Brandeis in First Amendment jurisprudence in 1927, posits that the remedy for false speech is more speech that is true.

Please tell me what you think you know about the internet that makes you think you know a better way. I know what you know about the challenges created by the internet. What I don’t have is certainty about how to fix them. I do know I beat hopelessness and despair personally in such a way as to confer a faith in goodness and longing for light Such that if for me than all others too. How does a leaf in the breeze become the master of the universe?

round and round you go, with yourself. Here’s an idea, use the internet to learn about…..the internet and how disinformation takes hold.

You seem to think bringing information to rural areas will enlighten them like you are, to that I say…LOL

 

[iRONic]

I nominate this as the official "slogan" of the P&N forum!

Further reduced to CTFD for brevity.

And here we go again. I have to remind you over and over that what I seem to you or seem to be saying are the creations of the unconscious assumptions you hold but do not want to examine. I suggested to you that your terror of the ignorance of others is a product of the very same thing, ignorance. In order to help you see that fact, the unexamined nature of the assumptions you make, I asked you to crystalize a specific solution to the problem superior to the one I suggested, good old-fashioned liberal American counterspeech.

I may not know the answer myself, but I am pretty sure it isn't authoritarianism that seeks to silence the other. That just makes you the left hand of darkness. Naturally, you will take this as my superior, well everything, chastising your evil nature rather than conversation intended as counterspeech. If I really thought you were worthless I wouldn't waste a second on you.

so, still not up to date on what the internet is, got it.

Not when you realize that Nomad has seized control of the thread. The authoritarian mind must eliminate error. Must eliminate error, must eliminate error, must eliminate error.....................

a bad case of the internet? Interesting, seems like exactly what you want more people to have. Wonder why

Tell me, do you see that the internet is being used to destroy liberal society? Now let me ask you, did you read that on the internet? Isn't it the internet that has defined itself to you? Isn't it here on the internet that you seek to bask in the the glory of the partisanship of fellow liberals to drive out non-conformist heretics like myself to eliminate error?

I have suggested that counterspeech is the best I can offer to the lies on the internet. Do you really think that other readers can't see you have nothing to offer by way of counterspeech, that you can't offer a single challenge to that other than diversion, avoidance,, and innuendo. Come on, let me hear your fascist ideas. Let's see the courage of your conviction.

working on your victim stance I see.

the internet is a great tool, and a terrible tool as well. You seem to be conflicted. You are what you claim others are. Gg moonie. I hate myself!

You're not an "error".

Maybe a little confused but hey I'm right there with you!

Thanks for that! Off to throw myself out a window now!


Seriously for a moment... you never know when somebody is having a rough time and IME the harder a person tries to convince you they're "in control" (in this case with flowery language/wit) the worse things are actually going.

By skipping to the last page of almost any thread you'll miss the point of the thread...as by then, its devolved into personal insults.

he seems to be confused, as thinking that giving socialism subsidized communications to rural will be an automatic benefit. This is laughable.

The rurals have access now to more information than they ever had in history and they are becoming worse and worse. Fuck them all at this point. My patience is up with these regressive pieces of trash. At this point it's either them or decency, freedom and democracy. I know what I choose.

All I can say is that so many of you so called rational and enlightened elitely educated liberals are complete bone heads when it comes to psychological wisdom. What the fuck do you imagine happens to the even more backward and psychologically blind than even you are when confronted for the first times in their lives to facts that shake their tiny world view tree, that threaten to knock them off their high and mighty ego perches, that say that all they believe that makes them feel some measure of dignity and self worth challenge those notions to the core. You should learn to have some pity for yourselves. You are just in another class of deplorables. But I could only say that and believe it's true if I were as big an ignoramus as some of you. Stick around on the internet here with Moonbeam and I'll straighten you out. Who knows this self hater might actually know you might be worth something.

But know the danger. The more you confront the ignorance of others the deeper they will struggle to keep it intact, in other words the sicker they will struggle to become. So what's the point. It's always darkest before the dawn and the reason being that sickness has a bottom known as grief. Get there and you will be safe.

In and out of honkey tonks from one town to the next
But anything worth loving
Lord's, just too hard to forget
Everyday's another day of feeling more the same
Looks like I'll run out of highway before
I out run the rain

But if there's fire and smoke
Ooh what a rush I got when your love was hot
Oh but I couldn't see
That when the flame burned out you'd leave
A cold dark cloud a raining down on me

So I'm reaching out to someone wishing, she were you instead
Everything I left behind was waiting up ahead
Pulling on the bottom baby, looking back on you
Anyways the right way babe as long as I pull through

But if there's fire and smoke
Ooh what a rush I got when your love was hot
Oh but I couldn't see
That when the flame burned out you'd leave
A cold dark cloud a raining down on me

Yeah, and when the flame burned out you left a cold dark cloud a raining
Down, a raining down on me

Just one more step to take
That cold dark cloud a raining down on me
The mistake I made thinking the love I sought had turned to ash
Just smoke that hid a fire that was only my love of Thee

Everything I thought I'd lost was always there hidden within me

You've been a member since 2010.... you SHOULD be used to this by now! (if posting in P&N has ONE positive it's the thickening of ones skin!)

You would be open and vulnerable if you knew there was nothing wrong with you, nothing you need to protect. Think carefully. The worry you have that I may be in some sort of hidden pain is a projection of what you would experience were you to lose your capacity to not be vulnerable. Why do you think it is that only as you be a little child will you know what heaven really is?

Look at what children do when they have been hurt. The only place of safety is psychic death. Stockholm syndrome, we are all walking cases of it.

And you wonder why I'm concerned ?!?

Trust me if I'm feeling bad I'll talk about it consciously.
