Forum Guidelines
There are no truly far-right people but that's a good thing. There’s a few people I would consider moderate right though. McTraveller, jipehog, TheDwarfy, arguably Strongpoint. Yes there are no outright Nazis or reactionaries because they get chased off, but considering them even existing is a symptom of our society's degradation that's a good thing.This forum is a rare exception, of a community where both the left and the right can tolerate each other.Lol. This forum is an exception? This den of progressive scum and villainy? There are no right wing people on bay 12. Or if there are, they stay away from politics. They've all been bullied away over the years. Best you can get is a few centrists.
When I adopted these beliefs it was already dead. I alone won't revive something society-wide so I chose the belief that, you know, makes it easier on me and communities I have a stake in. I am not a true idealist, I am willing to throw away principles if I see something is not working out.My position is honestly less spite and more recognizing that civility just... doesn't really work out nowadays.If you contribute to it not working, then you must want for it not to work.
So you would support anyone right to say that your religion is a 'pervasive mind disease'. Stating that you are 'beyond saving', what you say is merely 'validate your beliefs', and it is 'virtue to censor' you.Nope because I consider my beliefs more valid than theirs.
Guess I'm also behind the times as I don't know what a vatnik is.Slang term for a Putin supporter/"z-ombie". The meme originated from a character someone created who was a personified jacket (ватник) who spouted pro-Russian propaganda. iirc
Tucker Carlson also think so.He does. Why would that have a bearing on my beliefs?
iirc someone recently made fun of Elon Musk being 'free speech absolutist' only when it suits him, I guess he is no different then rest of you just much more successful/rich.Oh I wasn't making fun of him being a hypocrite about being a free-speech-absolutist. I was making fun of him for claiming to be a free-speech-absolutist at all!
Well I suppose it felt true to me. The others... didn't. I don't know how to explain it other than that.Well somehow I felt my pure materialistic worldview wasn't right and I was looking for something to provide meaning. Christianity felt right and the other religions didn't feel right. It was an emotional decision.
This doesn't answer the question. It answers "why?" or "for what?". I asked HOW.
How do you make yourself believe something you didn't believe before simply because you think it will be beneficial for you? Not pretend to believe but actually believe.
What happened to Reddit?Apparently they started charging outrageous prices for 3rd-party apps so there's a mass blackout. This likely results in the fall of Reddit.
