[Raúl Duke]

The hell if I know










:p

[Widerstand]

Fucking racist.

[The Feral Underclass]

Fucking racist.

There's no such thing as race.

[The Feral Underclass]

Woop.

[Widerstand]

There's no such thing as race.

Funny to use that as an argument against the existence of racism.

By ignoring your own conclusion when it comes to your words and actions.

By ignoring your own conclusion when it comes to your words and actions.

Well, since I'm an active militant anti-fascist and have written extensively for magazines and other propaganda regarding anti-fascism and the challenge we face fighting the far-right. I would say that my words and actions conclude my point-of-view.

You people are the ones who have constructed the "race" of Welsh people, not me.

[Chambered Word]

What is his purpose?

Trolling Welsh people, evidently.

So now you throw me in a pot with people who can't take a joke after demonstrating that you can't take a joke...

Does that make us bros? :3

I'm not entirely convinced that you were making a joke. But whatever. :thumbup1:

A particular Welsh person, actually.

to make uptight people on revleft mad and whine about ridiculous stuff that wasnt meant to be taken seriously.

[Il Medico]

To make threads asking the purpose of stuff.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Egomania.

[Il Medico]

Oh and to terrorize Skinz.

[The Feral Underclass]

egomania.

Give. Me. Attention!

[Os Cangaceiros]

Mission accomplished, apparently.

What is his purpose?

To fuck sheep?

Couldn't you make this argument for pretty much any kind of trolling? What particular quality makes the Welsh fair game?

(I don't care, personally. I'm just letting all of you know that I've bookmarked a bunch of shit to pull out of my hat at some later point.)

[Quail]

TAT's purpose is to be a baby throne.

[Aloysius]

What is his purpose?
To be intensely awesome.

[Bad Grrrl Agro]

To be pretty? Well, at least that is the human purpose and I do believe that TAT is a human, just a hunch though...

Actually he is a bear.

Whose purpose is to be the greatest threat to America.

Bears can still be pretty.

An excuse Pedo? :confused:

[Adi Shankara]

How can I be a racist if I don't accept that race exists?

Or let me turn it around for you: If I say homosexuals do not exist, then I can just say they do it as a choice, homosexuality isn't actually something someone is born with, and thus deny them rights and benefits of straight citizens, because afterall, homosexuals dont' need to be married, they don't exist, they just are really straight citizens, right?


race doesn't exist biologically, but in our society, the social and psychological construct of race is as real as the sky is blue, and until that is eliminated it exists as a reality.

[Aloysius]

Isn't that our, as in, the revolutionary lefts', purpose anyway? To abolish everything?

terrible analogy.

yea bro!


No more trees!

Fuck end-tables!

Down with pronouns!

My homosexuality might be a choice?

That analogy doesn't really work. If you were talking about sexualities not existing, then maybe it would work. Gay people exist, just like black people exist, but sexuality may be a social construct just like race is. Either way, you've not said anything controversial or that I'd necessarily disagree with.

to abuse his powerz

to say something stupid and bigoted, then close a thread and ban people when everyone (surprise surprise) turns against him.

[The Feral Underclass]

to say something stupid and bigoted, then close a thread and ban people when everyone (surprise surprise) turns against him.

Firstly, what I said was incredibly funny. Secondly, what thread have I closed and who have I banned? I didn't close the thread in the members forum, and CA was suspended, not banned, and that happened automatically as a result of receiving five infractions.

[IllicitPopsicle]

Pancakes.

[Adi Shankara]

Firstly, what I said was incredibly funny.

Is saying "the Welsh love to fuck sheep and speak gibberish" what passes for humor now? really?

Many people were offended. who knows how many unregistered guests saw your behavior as an admin and thought this place wasn't as welcoming to anti-racists as they would've hoped.

I don't expect you to get any real action against you for saying that, but...there were many more people who found you offensive in your childish humor than who found you funny. the number of thanked posts that called you offensive is testament to that.

Many people were offended because they don't understand the use of irony and how it can be used to mock sexist, homophobic, and racist behavior.

For example this joke:

Why can't Helen Keller drive?

Because she's a woman.


On the surface it sounds like it's a sexist joke making fun of women. But it is actually a joke mocking the stereotype that women are bad drivers.

[synthesis]

Get out of my thread.

...so it's not a legitimate question? Address it elsewhere if you feel it's detracting from the attention you deserve.

Most people here would get restricted or infracted for that joke. Apparently irony is only tolerated from members with red usernames.

It's not legitimate, it's stupid and boring.

Give me an example of someone who used irony and then was banned. In fact, if there's so many, give me three.

[The Feral Underclass]

Many people were offended.

Many people, huh? How many is that? Ten people?

Well, that would be incredible since unregistered users can't see Chit-Chat.

You carry on living your life based on your thanked posts. That will be productive.

[Devrim]

Well, that would be incredible since unregistered users can't see Chit-Chat.

Which only leaves just over 6,000 registered user on here who have never even posted who could see it. Of course things like Revleft, and Libcom are read by many more people than actually post there.


Many people, huh? How many is that? Ten people?

I wasn't offended. I am not easily. Actually I was a bit embarrassed for you. I still think that it is not really an acceptable why to behave.

I really think the best thing that you could do is to apologise for your behaviour, and move on and start posting about your politics, which incidentally many of the admins here hardly ever do, rather than making threads with lame jokes, which offend people.

Of course, I recognise that the chances of you doing that are very slim indeed, and you will probably come back with some jokey response to this post too. That is my fraternal advice though. Feel free to not take it.

Devrim

[The Feral Underclass]

Dev, you really need to realise that you're not the RevLeft standards police. You're not endowed with the authority to dictate to people how they use this forum. Frankly, I couldn't be any less indifferent to your emotional response to my RevLeft posts and I'll post about my politics as and when I see fit, thanks very much.

I'm genuinely not trying to be combative when I say this, but let's have some perspective please. Your opinions about my behaviour don't register high on my priorities of giving a shit, I'm afraid.

[Adi Shankara]

You carry on living your life based on your thanked posts. That will be productive.

Hey, I'm not the one who Neg-reps every user who calls me out on my bullshit, or who bans (oops, I mean "suspends") users for personal reasons. :rolleyes:

[Devrim]

No, I am not. You are. You are the person giving out infractions, not me. That doesn't stop me expressing my opinion though.


Frankly, I couldn't be any less indifferent to your emotional response to my RevLeft posts and I'll post about my politics as and when I see fit, thanks very much.

I don't think my approach is 'emotional' at all. I'm certainly not angry or upset about it. As I said before the prime emotion that I feel is slight embarrassment for somebody making themselves look very foolish. It is a bit like watching John Clease on 'Faulty Towers' when you know he is about to do something cringe-making embarrassing.


Your opinions about my behaviour don't register high on my priorities of giving a shit, I'm afraid.

No, I didn't imagine that they would at all. In fact I am not at all surprised that you ended up swearing at me. If you hadn't it would of have raised my eyebrows a little maybe.

Anyway, that is all I have to say on the matter as I don't think it is really worth that much attention. After all it is not as if admins on Revleft are know for politeness, setting an example, and generally helping the forum be a place where people can discuss without abusing each other, is it?

Devrim

[Sam_b]

Haha, owned.

[Wanted Man]

There doesn't seem to be much purpose at all. It basically just takes a lot of space (in a few different senses).

Comrade Alastair was suspended for incurring 5 infractions. Try and understand that.

I was wondering when someone was going to pick up on that lol

okay, and user Glenn Beck? (or is that a forbidden topic; I'm not quite too sure)

[IllicitPopsicle]

That was Fuserg9's decision, not TAT's.

[Widerstand]

There was an announcement somewhere, he got a 6 month suspension for bullying and badmouthing another member.

[The Feral Underclass]

It was a decision made by a collective of admins.

[danyboy27]

I see.

yea fun stuff like making a youtube video with the private information on TAT an denouncing him nas a racist and a pedophile.

he deserved what happened to him.
