what's funniest about the jeffposting on twitter is you can tell he doesn't actually believe any of what he's saying

he's not actually sitting there giggling about how much of a loser he believes this guy to be, instead he's angrily trying to hurt someone with words who doesn't care at all what he has to say

deep down he knows that most of them probably lead much more fulfilling lives than he ever will lead

As usual, the need for snarky comments outweighs empathy for a severly injured person.

I don't really like them, because I learned in a documentary that like tigers, if a male comes across cubs that aren't his own then he just kills them. In the documentary the mother leopard had to have sex with the male to distract it from killing her kids that were hiding nearby. That may be natural behavior to them, but it's fucked up to me.

It's a wild animal. 

They were probably talking about their fursona.

Incredible discourse:

Empathy is a finite resource.

Goddammit! These fuckwits keep talking about sympathy when they mean empathy and now here is this genetic triumph calling for empathy when they fucking mean sympathy!

I’m frankly surprised they can survive getting food to their own mouths.

I love that Jeff barely ever gets likes or responses on twitter. He’s just shouting

I find two aspects to be funny. First, that the people Jeff disparages are basically the same as the people Jeff worships and patterns himself after. Sorry, but sitting around all day on social media getting emotional about capeshit and similar is loser behavior no matter what. I'm totally on board for saying if they enjoy it I have no reason to criticize it, but that takes away Jeff's only line of criticism. Having better stupid opinions about capeshit movies or video games or whatever on Twitter doesn't bail you out of being a loser. I have no complaint about people being losers, I'm happily a loser, but Jeff clearly wants it to be an insult while also ignoring the people he likes are equally losers.

Second, that we're supposed to be progressives who consider the environmental circumstances for all situations to understand and EMPHASIZE with the downtrodden. This instantly goes out the window when we hate someone for having different opinions. Jeff can mock this guy for not getting girls and sex from them (totally feminist), mock them for being depressed losers, etc. How is any of this acceptable? It's not like saying someone is bald or has a tiny penis, these losers on Twitter could be fat disabled mentally ill people from broken homes and poverty, maybe they were bullied as kids, etc. Normally these are excuses for literally anything anyone does in progressive spheres, removing responsibility and making them off limits from criticism. Jeff offers none of this grace to someone who says they hate some MCU slop or some streamer he loves, he goes right into trying to savage and shame their lives for not meeting problematic Western white supremacist patriarchal standards. Never does Jeff consider that they reason they dislike She-Hulk is due to systemic issues or bad luck. No, instead it's their fault and they need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps into having proper opinions or they can shut the fuck up and die alone without ever getting laid.

Nepenthe was completely and unironically correct for calling out Era for being no different from the reactionaries they claim to be better than. The problem is just she's a terrible messenger because she's literally no different as she showed in that very same set of posts when she said a few ICE agents murdering politicians would end the problem of white supremacist colonialism forever.

That explains it then. I miss my old neighborhood.

Aside from that one time a dude stalked me for 9 blocks muttering homophobic slurs at me and threatening to murder me until I ducked into a bodega around Argyle and told the cashier to call the police.

[DavidCroquet]

Yeah, it'd be a truly bizarre thing to lie about. Sleeping through a community event isn't great, but it's not a major deal to me, ultimately.

Yeah, who needs politicians to be awake for key developments or events. It should probably be fine.

Ree-Anon has arrived -

I definitely agree with this, but at the same time I have sympathy for people falling into it here. This shit is all so insane and sniffing out the actual unbelievable bullshit from the unbelievable-sounding-but-somehow-real stuff is quite the task.

So many of the details tie in with things a lot of us already believed, like the ties to Russia and Israel and the links to Gamergate and the rise of the alt-right. It really does all feel connected.

Hell, I remember the thread here about Epstein's death and some high profile posters who are still around to this day were mocking people for believing it was likely a cover-up.

It's why I've not really posted much about this stuff as I have no clue what's beyond believable anymore.

Phew.  Nepenthe got her meds

Direct action works

Indeed it does.

Ok, we just have to tear down some more ICE buildings and this whole thing will be resolved.  But I imagine at some point we will have to do pussy ass shit like vote. 

It's good, and fuck ICE to hell, but isn't this kinda what the admin wants? To call off elections?

So we should leave the ICE facilities alone then.

They can call off elections any time they want. They could do it today, and the funny thing is most people still wouldn't get it in the streets and do anything about it. Why do you think they "need an excuse?"

Stop giving deference to your oppressors.

Last weeks Nepenthe would say the real oppressor is the concept of capitalism itself and trashing a building doesn't stop that. 

https://www.resetera.com/threads/la-protestors-tear-down-ice-facility.1421767/page-3#post-150741871

Like, are protesters going to stop bullets using the power of community and friendship like the Care Bears? Fuck that.

Haven't reached the quota of white people killed yet to really start organizing.

So we shouldn't be organizing and reading?  We need to let them kill more white people.  Last week white people, even MAGA, weren't the enemy and it was the institutions that were bad.



 Godbless.  I thought we lost her the other day.     With her pills, Nepenthe can get back to treating the forum goers like little

Yup, this forum alone is great evidence that Americans can't be trusted and many of those who present themselves as progressives are complicit in propagating American exceptionalism.

The mods on here are certainly culpable - often allowing Americans to rile up Canadians and bait them into arguments, then banning them to silence dissent. Or the general #NotAllAmericans victim mentality that permeates this place, rather than a desire to be reflective or show contrition. And that's not even touching on those who advocated abstaining in the election...

Calling the police on the mentally ill? Yikes, oof, not a good look.

Stop giving deference to your oppressors.

Why does she think the President has the authority to call off elections? Why would getting in the streets be the way to "do anything about it" versus simply holding the elections as normal?

[Boredfrom]

As long they don’t mention Nepenthe, BDubs will allow the Canadian victimization and the U.S. #NotAllAmericans.

If Canada ERA genuinely cared, they would have called her out.

[imsotired]

/new/ had already existed.  The dates lining up are funny, but I don't think there is really much significance to this.  Do people really think that a political board would never have happened again on 4chan without Epstein?

This amateur anthropologist, sociologist and follower of American culture from those perspectives tried to warn them and they silenced him:

I am an amateur anthropologist, sociologist, and follower of American culture from those perspectives. I am also American, but not all Americans really study their own culture in a serious manner.

Gamergate was a remarkable cultural event within geek culture that has no obvious parallels in both scope and sophistication. I don't mean the personal shit that was the origin, but the strange leviathan that gamergate became with the false messaging and cult-like activities and the strange bot-like identities on twitter. Take any cultural difference of opinion, gamergate was another level. It felt like there was a lot of effort working behind the scenes to push it beyond your normal cultural disagreement.

At the time, I ran an experiment on twitter. I have a basically non-existent presence there. I posted about the hashtag criticizing the movement and instantly, systematically, constantly I was attacked. It was a swarm with a kind of intelligence. I had never seen anything like it.....until the 2016 American Presidential election.

The level of effort and sophistication are similar. Gamergate occurred in 2014. Gamergate could have been an early effort to influence American culture. I have to assume these folks play games, take part in the culture - hell I am sure some of them are members on this forum. Either it was a test run, or something they did in their off-time, for fun.

They are just too similar to me to not be related in some way.

 The bots and coordinated astroturfing were there way before GamerGate. If this happened during Mexican Elections, I’m sure it happened before that in your country and you just never realized.

I'm just happy that here on The Bire I can post "America Rules!!!!" without caveat or apology and there will be no consequences more serious than a BoredFrom reply.
