The Anarchist movement would not have let me moved on with my life without my having created a record of my reasons for leaving it. Though doing so ha...

I have a need to put information out there in the world. I have information that needs to somehow get to some other people in the world out there some...

There's a difference between being involved with intelligence and orchestrating it. I'm not discounting your claim in regards to what you have just ci...

I feel as if you fail to understand my paradox. Because there was nowhere else to do so, I had to use the forum to leave a set of points out there for...

My thread on that ramble from Nihilist Communism may be fairly arcane, but there is actual theory. I actually kind of make a fairly conscious attempt ...

Sure thing, I guess.

I don't know you're on about. Everyone agreed with you in that discussion about the SPD's alliance with the German military. Besides, no one here know...

To my estimation, the political debate is often more in the vein of political science than political philosophy. I'm mostly interested in relatively o...

How is the second paragraph to it, "Libertarianism originated as a form of left-wing politics such as anti-authoritarian and anti-state socialists lik...

What I'm saying is that the Rockefellers did not have the control over the intelligence community that you have alleged. That's how you are "waxing co...

I was referring to the roots of the more radical strains of how it is to abolish institutional and systemic racism. You'll find people within the Blac...

I think so, yeah. I'll have to find where Schopenhauer talks about that. It's difficult to say as to whether you even can feel genuine empathy. I assu...

I didn't know that about Kentaro Miura. That's so sad. I'm not sure that you see what I mean by the metaphor. I would like to be an artist, poet, and ...

Consider the hypothetical situation to where a certain massively multiplayer role-playing game has both become a cult phenomenon and resulted in any n...

Eh, you don't see what I mean, I think, though, perhaps, I am too concerned with remaining where I can drop out. Personally, I have kind of social pro...

What I mean about the American Right is that I already dislike the Left, the Anarchist movement, left-Wing Liberals, and the Democratic Party to the p...

I am in favor of the singular they, even to the point of saying that its being taken up so as to garnish votes was built that way by design. We wanted...

I have so much of a vested interest in critiquing black intellectual currents as a Pacifist that it's difficult for me to come to an understanding of ...

This will be my last attempt at explaining this, but there's a certain poignancy to something that the character, Seymour, says to Les in J.D. Salinge...

I kind of doubt that anyone else is interested in talking about this, but what I take away from this text is that avant-garde chic is often mistaken f...

I have said my peace already, but am glad not to have been a bother. Everything and nothing is banal, anyways.
May 21, 2021 at 04:55
I just can't imagine that psychopathy can arise from anything other than any number of other social plights. Perhaps, I just want to think that, thoug...

What's in in black liberation circles now is Afro-pessimism. It's effectively the black equivalent of Nihilism. Orlando Patterson's Slavery and Social...

Chomsky is talking about contemporary Libertarianism and the origins of Libertarianism as an Anarchist school of thought. Read the article.

I watched that documentary in a Cultural Anthropology class ages ago. It's a very good deconstruction of the biological concept of race. You'd be surp...

There are all kinds of grossly misguided initiatives to have proceeded from the movement for black liberation that, as, as someone who is not black, I...

Ayn Rand created Objectivism in response to the Soviet habit of entertaining two entirely contradictory ideas simultaneously, which is something that ...

Everyone just always leaves when I start making sense which kind of throws a wrench into my flair for the dramatic when it comes to exits.
May 21, 2021 at 02:59
Regardless as to what anyone does however, the snail's pace of progress will just soldier on. I'd give it some hundred years before we all become citi...

Am I the only one who thinks that the concept of God could use its own pronoun? ye/yem/yeirs, perhaps?
May 21, 2021 at 02:46
This is a pretty good dig, but I kind of harbor a theory about online discourse that the general lack of improvement in the social ecology of internet...

There's a way of interpreting the Golden Rule as a kind of alturistic Egoism if you think about it. It's within your interests to be treated well and,...
May 21, 2021 at 02:38
Race: the Power of an Illusion puts forth a good defense of multicultural "color blindness". I think that the general trend against such an ethos has ...
May 21, 2021 at 02:01
Libertarianism did actually originate from individualist Anarchism, and, so, was originally kind of a left-wing political philosophy before it came to...

Aside from my speculative interpretation of this text, as it relates to what people take for free expression, mostly what I was interested in talking ...

For all of the sympathy that I have for Anarchist Black Cross and the prison abolition movement, I think that they ultimately have somewhat naive, if ...

I have put forth my theories and opinions to the best of my abilities already. I just think that assume for the Rockefellers to have had more of globa...

I'm not saying that the Rockefellers didn't have an extraordinary amount of wealth and influence in the world; I'm saying that your notions of that th...

I have conceptualized Meta-Anarchism so as to be able to leave the Anarchist movement and paradoxically become relatively a-political, but that is nei...

I don't quite have the qualms with "idealism" that you do, despite that it can occasionally be invoked in a fairly patronizing manner. Gummo is parado...

I think that you're waxing fairly apophenic, here, so as to create a coherent depiction of what borderlines on conspiracy. The Office of Strategic Ser...

When Hilary Clinton lost the election to Donald Trump, she did bemoan that she had done so because of a "basket of deplorables", thereby creating a sl...

What I am saying, though, is that it was cooler when it was just a snide remark that you'd hear a character played by Janeane Garofalo say in a film a...

Even if you believe in antinatalism, how can you expect to convince anyone not to have children? It seems like it's just a way to look down on breeder...

The existence of so-called "psychopaths" would seem to refute that a system of ethics can be created from empathy, but it has become such a highly cha...

I don't think that you have understood me well which is probably because I have only hashed this so well out with myself. I'm not saying that ethics a...
