So Maduro was arrested for violating American gun laws. This makes no sense but I'm sure whatever kike judge he's put in front of will go along with it.
I like America in principle. I like what it could be. This current iteration is gay as fuck, and is also retarded.
Tangentially related, you have people born here who are less American in their principles and actions toward freedom, than some people born outside of this place who love the basic American principles, with all benefits and drawbacks. I've heard native-born Americans tell me that gun rights should be restricted, or that "I can't say that." That's un-American. That's gay as fuck. That's retarded. Deport those n*****s too.
Well, like, "Terry, what is so terrible about Jews?" 'It is because they have subverted the country with commie propaganda! That's why I must oppose the country and love commies. This makes complete sense.'
Poor Terry. Someone sapped and impurified his precious bodily fluids.
> I like America in principle. I like what it could be. > This current iteration is gay as fuck, and is also retarded.
Thinking that the politicians decide what "America" means is the least possible American thing to do. It's dangling your feet off the cliff that Terry jumped off already.
@ins0mniak@p@Terry@William_The_Dragonborn Hey when I first became Orthodox, I found myself admiring Putin’s efforts on behalf of the Moscow Patriarchate; an opinion I help all the way up to the scamdemic. I get the appeal, but he’s not ourguy.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica@ins0mniak@Terry@William_The_Dragonborn Well, you can be in favor of a guy helping out your church even if he's not your guy. Likewise, you can be in favor of knocking over commies even if the dude that did it is orange man bad.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica@ins0mniak@p@Terry No he isnt but I am not gonna glaze America by any fucking means Putin could have dont far more like assassinating that jew zelensky and ending this pointless war quickly but nooo he is dragging it out too.
> The people, who are gay as fuck, and are also retarded, made it this way collectively.
I'd like to introduce you to Bob McNamara, FDR, Bernays, Kissinger, and a shit-ton of other things that created the psyop that you perceive as public opinion.
I didn't say the politicians made it this way in any way shape or form. The politicians, they're just taking advantage. You get the nation formed by the people who tolerate it. The people, who are gay as fuck, and are also retarded, made it this way collectively.
@p@ins0mniak@Terry I get hating zionists but come on that doesn't make every thing blumpf ever does bad. Not trying to be the always angry every day guy. A half W is better than zero Ws. There are plenty of subjects to jab the regime over but this isn't really one of them. I want domestic stuff fixed, foreign policy is not a priority
@mancat19@Terry@ins0mniak Frederick Douglas said, "I will unite with any man to do good and with no man to do evil." Any time a commie dictator is gone, a commie dictator is gone. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
@ins0mniak@Terry Same dudes what hates Mexicans and Mexicans will take that pastrami and make you a pastrami bacon cheeseburger. That is how I became Mexican, I just like...you know, like, people go "Oh, potato tacos...that's bullshit, it's fucked up, it's a vegetarian taco" but then you realize: potato tacos are like the next level beyond French fries. You don't get potato tacos instead of meat tacos. You get potato tacos with your triple bacon pastrami cheeseburger.
@ins0mniak@Terry Yeah, a motherfucker allowing people to get away with shit dude to identity is going to end up supporting all of the shit that kills him. So Terry is simping for commies because if he admits that it's good to be rid of a communist, it basically forces him to have gay sex in Ukraine. Right on the plane, do not pass Go.
@Owl@ins0mniak@Terry@William_The_Dragonborn You said "The people, who are gay as fuck, and are also retarded, made it this way collectively." and every time I quote you, you tell me you didn't say it.
@ins0mniak@Owl@Terry@William_The_Dragonborn Had a couple of Black&Milds today. I am the only person in this entire country that just smokes them instead of filling them with weed. Feels good, man.
@ins0mniak@Terry It must be nice, relentlessly shilling for a foreign country; wonder what it nets a feller. I don't think it could possibly pay much to do it on fedi.
@ins0mniak@p@Terry The biggest complaint people had in the Dubya days about mexicans was that they made a lot of noise, and they were willing to work under the table for low wages. Then we found out it can be much worse. I don't remember any UM PAH UM PAH music or mariachi bands starting up at 3 am like these calls to prayer now. That shit has hit land man.
Where did I bring up public perception? I said, "the people are gay as fuck and also retarded." That isn't me saying "I see the people think that," that's me saying "the people are gay as fuck and are also retarded." I think some of you guys misconstrue things to do these weird
@p@ins0mniak@Owl@Terry@William_The_Dragonborn If you like little cigars, have you ever tried Djarum Black, preferably Djarum Black Emerald? I dont smoke a lot anymore but when I do its those, pretty damn good.
@ins0mniak@p@Terry year 4, Trump makes every net positive country a state and then reveals they've build The Enterprise and people can go to space and stuff tada
@MisterRogersSnapped@Owl@Terry@William_The_Dragonborn@ins0mniak Oh, yeah, I used to smoke Djarums. I used to buy the packs of them before Obama outlawed them, then when they started using tobacco instead of paper and calling them cigarillos instead of cigarettes.
@p@ins0mniak@Terry I think carbs-on-carbs might well be the best combination that people never consciously realize. Potatoes on bread. Potatoes on corn. Pasta on bread. Rice and potatoes. Perogies. Shit never ends, and IT'S FUCKING EVERYWHERE AND ITS EASY AS SHIT. Hurr there's no meat, YOU FRY IT IN LARD DINGUS. THEN ITS THE BOMB.
> dude...you need to come to dc and jus hear raw ass punk rock.
I used to live
10 minutes
from The Whiskey
and at a different time,
I lived
walking distance
from Pollywog Park,
where Black Flag got kicked off the stage.
Not to disparage the DC music scene; Navi's there, after all. I would be delighted to come check the music and the food; I am gonna stay put for a minute, but I gotta get out there and visit you, friend. But I am from Los Angeles. Telling me that you will help me hear the raw-ass punk rock is like telling me I gotta get to DC to try burritos.
@p@Owl@Terry@William_The_Dragonborn@ins0mniak My understanding is the cigarettes were better but I didnt try them til after they were cigarillos. The ones I miss are apparently really bad for you, when I was a kid I would steal Bidis from my uncle and even if you were a veteran of the tobacco wars (lol) those things would give you a nicotene buzz. Those were great.
@MisterRogersSnapped@Owl@Terry@William_The_Dragonborn@ins0mniak I should grab a pack of them. Basically, like, somehow eliminated my nicotine addiction by just being up here with the rest of the cvlt for a while. Figure if I grabbed a pack of those, they'd last me a week or two. I used to have to be careful, like, if I had them and I didn't have any regular cigarettes, I'd chain-smoke Djarums and burn my throat.
@ins0mniak@p@Terry@William_The_Dragonborn I gave him the benefit of every doubt, up until the coof; that he pretty much just played along with it dispelled all doubt.
@mitchconner@ins0mniak@p@Terry Yeah, goy, stop NOTICING ... (and, Obama served as a puppet to the same - just like Mamdani and Trump - need those pics, too?)
@p@ins0mniak@Terry Yeah, because the ruling-jews ONLY work the LEFT side of the FAKE Uniparty R/D machine, right?
And anything that prevents a tiny group of oligarchs from holding the vast majority of people in poverty-slavery is "ebil commmeeee" - even using oil-proceeds for that purpose.
See how USA oil reserves are sold at pennies-on-the-dollar to that scum, while we get screwed by them at the gas-pump. "Knocking off a commeeee" - using debt owed at-interest to jews for the MIC, while THEY keep all the loot.
@PopulistRight@mancat19@ins0mniak@Terry You have no standing to say anything; you have an unprincipled tribalism. You exist to make the rest of us look brilliant by comparison. Everything bad is "Jews" and you'll suck a dead commie's dick just to prove it.
@mancat19@ins0mniak@p@Terry Ending the "free to them" foreign wars / military-ops for THEIR overseas-investments + MIC contract bankrupting of the country with unpayable debt has domestic effects - see inflation.
"Domestic stuff" would start with ordering the long-standing, court-cleared felony prohibiting Employing Illegal-Aliens enforced. That would get 99% of illegals fired, broke, and gone. Trump won't do it - does numerically-insignificant "Whack a Mole" ICE "raids" on video, to fool the "maga" goyim, instead.
Then there is canceling all the treason-visas, so the 3/4 of REPLACED American STEM workers (higher qualified than their pajeet replacements) can return to work in their fields. Trump says "we don't have the talent" - when that talent was literally fired and replaced with "will work cheeeper" pajeets.
@PopulistRight@ins0mniak@Terry It's a goddamn automated message designed to discourage you from talking to me because you have never said anything of value.
@PopulistRight@Terry It only happens if you tag me after being repeatedly asked to never bother me. Every message you have ever sent me is spam: you are pushing something, you are not talking. You're a goddamn script. Don't tag me and you won't receive those messages.
@Terry@PopulistRight It's the Strangelove bot. This guy won't fuck off. I explained to him, right, I don't care he's shitting up fedi, but it doesn't obligate me to entertain him. So he wants to be unpleasant/whiny/useless, he can tag someone else and do it, I'm done listening to him. People that don't know how to fuck off are incentivized.
@PopulistRight@ins0mniak@Terry Tedious cocksucker, you've done nothing but cost me time and you're turning fedi into an unpleasant place with your whiny agitprop. You're not even American, so fuck off with that "our nation" bullshit.
You fail to consider that if I adopted the principles you pretend to espouse--principles convenient for the sake of an argument, not real principles--you wouldn't be on that server. Who gives a shit about a people that does nothing but whine?
This "oh, costs money" bullshit is even fucking dumber. It's the same utilitarian framing that your "opposition" uses. You don't want a better world: you don't care if Malthusian nihilists run the goddamn planet as long as they're huwite. Go suck a dick so at least someone will be grateful that you lived another day.
@ins0mniak@p@Terry Yeah, the mestizos only cost us ~$550K in net-losses per each - dragging our nation into a 3rd World S-Hole - even more expensive in total than the blacks (though lower losses per-cap).
Actually, that "hispanic" figure includes some Castillian Spanish, so the mestizo drain is higher per-cap.
I'll isolate this guy, but there's probably still a lot in the queue. If you could explain to him that he'll stop seeing it if he stops bothering me, then that will probably help the situation.
@p@Terry@PopulistRight@yockeypuck pete I can see in the screenshots you have multiple people tagged. if you're going to spam our users because they wont leave you alone please remove the additional users in the replying to field
> people especially on poast don't really see replying to somebody earnestly as antagonistic
Go look at other conversations I've had with this guy; if he's earnest this time, it's new.
> A lot of people on here think it's funny to 'collect scalps' (ncd for example, drc is big on this too) and they will just antagonize until you do this and then I have to explain to people over, and over, and over again why you're doing this and it's so, so fucking annoying
I get it. He's unable to process "I don't want to talk to you" and that is the reason.
How about I just ice his account from this end, and if he tries to kite/train MOBs/whatever term, then please handle him from that end. Does this work for everyone involved? Any objections? Because I'm pretty sure he knows what he is doing and he's trying to get his account blocked so that he can claim FSE is censoring him for anti-semitism rather than for being an unbearable prick, so if there are any objections, I'd like to hear them before that occurs.
@p@PopulistRight@Terry@yockeypuck It might, but most people especially on poast don't really see replying to somebody earnestly as antagonistic even if they've been told to leave somebody alone. A lot of people on here think it's funny to 'collect scalps' (ncd for example, drc is big on this too) and they will just antagonize until you do this and then I have to explain to people over, and over, and over again why you're doing this and it's so, so fucking annoying
The guy doesn't just know it, he's been doing this for a long time and I've sent him the blog post at least twice (which you can verify) and explained to him that I don't care what he says but I don't want to hear it and will stop him from bothering me with it.
> not understanding that he's written a bot that will just spam them with nonsensical responses
I've explained the bot to him more than once. I can dig up the receipts if you'd like. He's baiting.
@Oven_Operators_LU_88@p@PopulistRight@Terry@yockeypuck no it's about our users earnestly responding to something not understanding that he's written a bot that will just spam them with nonsensical responses if they respond to it so they just think it's schizo shit and they keep feeding into it and he knows that they do that and that's why he does it and i'm so fucking sick of dealing with reports of spam and its always the same fucking thing
@p@PopulistRight@Terry@yockeypuck please do because I am really getting tired of having to field these issues. I like to consider you my friend but I am going to hold you to our spam rules because asking you not to do this has resulted in you continuing to do it anyway.
@MoralPanic@PopulistRight@Terry@graf@yockeypuck Yeah, yeah, the entire internet is not a communications platform, but another theater in your pointless culture war and the only reason to ever say "I don't wanna hear from this guy" is because you can't handle bantz: it's never got to do with people that try their damnedest to waste your time because their panties get in a wad and they have to REEEEE at you for hours on end.
The internet is full of dipshits that whine and whine because your opinions are wrong, people that will follow you and screenshot your posts and over-parse everything you say. Ask graf: they do that to him and then they called the cops on him.
So, here's a graph, I get 1000+ notifications per day a couple of years back, it peaks at 1,667 notifications. Same people that have it in for graf, and they spend all that time accusing Poast of hosting CP, graf blocks them, blocks their accounts server-wide, sometimes blocks their instances. Every single time, though, they start up again and they claim it's about something else. "Can't handle the bantz", "I was just asking questions", etc.
"randbot" is one of the worst about this: someone from KiwiFarms shows up and posts pictures of randbot's kids, right, I solve that problem, I took shit for it for *years*, one ban and one instance-block, but right after that, randbot starts following me around, bothering me. So I say, "Look, don't waste my time, my time is spent trying to prop up this shit and I have fixed your personal problems at graf's request" and the guy would rather jump in and whine. I have to go deal with people spamming randbot's wife's nose. I mute him, he tags people in, same tactic the KiwiFarms dipshits use. Fuck it: randbot's clique wants a pointless internet slapfight, they can argue with a bot. And you ask this "PopulistRight" guy if he believes in the concept of collective guilt: you know his answer. So I apply it to him. (Terry, in this case, lied directly: the bot never tagged him. I'm sure graf knows how to verify that, it's a really simple query to find if the "to" or "cc" fields from any DM I've ever sent had "https://poa.st/users/Terry".) You look at FSE's old @modfaggotry account and you'll find years and years of people intentionally spamming so they could collect their ban so that they could claim injustice; you find the same tactics people use on Poast.
Some people are not worth dealing with: https://blog.freespeechextremist.com/blog/on-human-bots.html . And that includes basically anyone participating in a "culture war". (This is worth reading: https://archive.is/ym000 . "Conversations became one man with one microphone attached to a thousand megaphones, and replying was like talking back to the national news broadcast, because you could reply to a shill, but the man giving the shill her script was not listening, because he was running a hundred similar shills, and his shill would just stick to her script, the script he had assigned to her no matter what you replied to her script.") Trying to be shitty on the internet has not advanced anyone's cause an inch. Look at Gab. Are they in charge? notifications_about_the_loli_question.png
> Way I see it blocking somebody is like pulling out a gun during a negotiation, it means you've given up on discourse and just want the person gone
I get that, yeah. But like the 80th guy to accuse me of being Mossad, you know, fuck it: fuck that guy, I'm a black Hebrew Israelite, I'm being paid by the Mossad, whatever. Last time he accused me of being "an 8200" sent to "demotivate" him. (I explained the bot to him in that thread, he argued with me about it, so here he is lying about the claim that he has no idea what is happening.) First time he lost his shit at me he insisted I was a fed, so I aggregated his posts by time of day, and the data suggested that he's not American and he maybe does this for a job: maybe he's the fed. Why is a foreigner trying to radicalize Americans? Well, we know why ( https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/german-domestic-intelligence-running-100s-fake-right-wing-extremist-social-media ):
> “In order to be really credible, it is not enough to share or like what others say, you also have to make statements yourself. That means that the agents also bully and agitate,” says the report of an agent who claims to have joined the agency to “do something against right-wing extremists.” This involves actively encouraging people in their worldview, but she says it is her job to “feed” the scene.
I have been to graf's house and I drank so much that I didn't remember getting to bed: a covert agent with secrets does not drink that much alcohol at a party. I can drink as much as I want, I already don't have a filter.
> I myself got ganged up on once or twice and you know, didn't write several paragraphs crygasming over it I just kind of tabbed out and ignored it until they got bored
If I don't explain, people accuse me of lying, PopulistRight has attempted to get my account instance-blocked by pretending to be aggrieved because he wants to make it harder for places like Poast or FSE or whoever to operate; if I do explain, people accuse me of talking too much or complaining. Cost of being accused of dishonesty is higher than the cost of being accused of complaining. You don't want to read it, fine. You tagged me, I've never heard of you; easiest way to not hear from me is to not talk to me.
Anyway, you know, fuck off with the "I got dogpiled once", man. You never had to scrub CP off the server and then have people follow you around for months, demanding that you define "child" and "pornography". Cops showed up and cuffed graf's mom, right, that's way different from mean words on the internet. You run a server and that happens and you either shut the server down or deal with the problem, you don't get to "tab out". (And if you shut the server down, then that becomes the first tactic people use to try to get you to stop running a server to host an instance, so shutting down doesn't just fuck you, it fucks the entire network: if a tactic works, people use it.) This isn't Twitter, man: these servers are here because a real person runs them, not because an army of gnomes in San Francisco gets paid to run the pipes as their day-job.
I'm interested in who's doing that shit and why (I'd love to know who PopulistRight's boss is), and periodically dumping some information helps: people see that and they add information. Someone sees that David Rand guy running a scraper, he's a "hate speech" investigator, right, he claims to have done it by accident and then someone else notices David Rand in the NSF staff report on "externalizing the difficult responsibility of censorship", he's on one of those teams of researchers that addresses Congress. That's how these things work: if I want to solve the problem, there are some information asymmetries to correct and if I want to correct those, I've gotta share information. https://blog.freespeechextremist.com/blog/fse-vs-fbi.html some_of_populistright.png
blocking illegal/targeted harassment and such makes perfect sense and I'm obviously not against that
I understand how annoying it could be with a bunch of retards attacking you all the time, I myself got ganged up on once or twice and you know, didn't write several paragraphs crygasming over it I just kind of tabbed out and ignored it until they got bored
Sure, if you like; you could have cut it there instead of tacking on a lecture. I tell you that your experience is insufficient to give me any new information: you use a website to "dunk a clapback" and "skibidi your rizz" and I have my hand in the guts.
> it's unfair
Fairness isn't a factor; it is a different situation from your situation, though. Completely separately, "collecting scalps" is a waste of time.
> you kind of asked for it
Nah, this dickhead shows up on a regular basis to screech about Jews. This is the first time someone *else* had mentioned Jews before he arrived in the thread. Anyway, I've known Terry and ins0mniak since 2018. Talking with these people is different from talking to this guy that wants me to kidnap a governor. (Although apparently nowadays, if you shit on Terry for shilling so hard he starts simping for commies, he starts screaming "I NEED AN ADULT". Declining testosterone levels claim another victim, I guess.)
> instead of having a guilty conscience about it
Terrible reading comprehension. I'd stop doing it if it bothered my conscience.
You're calibrated for internet slapfights. You have a fundamentally different threat model. That's fine, not what I'd do with my time, but it means you have nothing to say to me.
> what do you care what they have to say
I don't. Why's he care what *I* have to say? I explained at length what my interest is: I want this place to continue to exist and this means it can't fill up with shills or feds.
> we're literally two grown men having a pleasant discussion, I don't see why one or two minor points of disagreement has to make us mortal enemies
Well, sure, I'm just saying you don't have to read it, but I put it there so that I don't have to come back and answer accusations.
> I know some of our guys are assholes but they had hard lives, you know
"Non ignara mals, miseris svccvrrere disco." Some people have hard lives and spew boomer-rage at the internet; some learn kindness. It's a matter of character.
