Sophronius

I am one of those guys who call themselves rational unironically.

I try to be reasonable, which usually gets me accused of being a filthy centrist.

@lporiginalg The bizarre thing is that nobody on the left admits to believing Blank Slate nonsense, but they all act as if it's true.

IMO the *real* load-bearing delusion is the idea that everything is relative and so it doesn't matter.

@ciphergoth @MaxNordau haha, I meant stuff like neuralink, electric cars etc. Unfortunately, if AI = human extinction, I'm afraid that counts against nerds in general which would mean that the jocks were rights about us all along. :3

[Sophronius @Janfreterson]

@ciphergoth @MaxNordau Both true, but if you do the math, personal life stuff is probably outweighted by his accomplishments by about a factor of 1000000 or thereabouts.

@memeticsisyphus I get the anger at boomers though, they're so bizarre.

I wanted to help my young cousin set up a stock market account to help him start saving (since his parents are clueless lefties). My boomer parents immediately got mad and said I can't help because it'd hurt their "pride".

[Sophronius @Janfreterson]

@Halalcoholism @CameronCorduroy Pogroms against random minorities? Did I miss something??

What it loses financially may result in a gain culturally

This is not a thought that interests many economists

@olschoolbeat @stonetoss How come I know the OP hates Israel before looking at their bio?

Lemme check... "Free palestine", yep, there we go!

How did I know that?? Am I a wizard?

@TabulaStellar @memeticsisyphus Preaching to the choir, man.

@AquaticFlapper Any time you see a post like this, you can search "from:(username)" and add Charlie Kirk or Palestine/Israel and you'll almost always find them supporting terrorism and assassinations

They play on empathy to disarm you from their own violence

Manipulation, never take the bait

@rabbit_marble I said "we" have a broken system because it's the same system, you dolt. You create a global financial crisis, it affects the stock market and housing prices in my country. I have US shares. My family lived in the US. Don't you understand it's not the 19th century anymore?

[Sophronius @Janfreterson]

@adamsmitty04 @RockChartrand They identify as good people.

[Sophronius @Janfreterson]

@rabbit_marble Oh no, someone *inserted* themselves into a conversation you were having??

My man. You are not in your house having a private conversation. You made a post on social media and I responded to it. I apologize for intruding. 🙄

[Sophronius @Janfreterson]

@rabbit_marble @memeticsisyphus This insane nationalism has got to stop. I am talking about a global financial crisis and wealth disparity between old and young. Somehow this only affects americans? At least I assume you're american because of your attitude. What a bizarre thing to say.

[Sophronius @Janfreterson]

@rabbit_marble @memeticsisyphus Yeah, but it really does feel unfair that old people can make so much money just from passive income while young people cannot even buy a house because prices have gotten so high.

[Sophronius @Janfreterson]

@pledgerbrb @benshapiro I have, at every turn, told you that this isn't my view. My first words were "fully understand your revulsion". That's why I say you are looking for an excuse to be angry. You want to reduce "rightoids" to a caricature it's okay to hate.

[Sophronius @Janfreterson]

@pledgerbrb @benshapiro You sound like a very hateful person. I don't think you're really interested in what happened, and I don't think you care that cops died. I think you're looking for an excuse to be angry and bigoted, and you found one.

[Sophronius @Janfreterson]

@pledgerbrb @benshapiro I fully agree that you can't engage in violence, fuckery, storming the capitol etc. Do you acknowledge that the right's outrage was in response to Democrats forcing lockdowns and changing the election rules to make it easier to cheat and giving them extra votes?

[Sophronius @Janfreterson]

@pledgerbrb @benshapiro Donald Trump is not a fascist, and that's not what you said. You said you cannot contest a lawful election, which you absolutely legally can.
