    I heavily disengaged when an active user was shopping some soft peddled red pill content and no one else gave a shit to call him out cause he'd been around for a while. I felt like the whole place had sunk into dreary apathy.

Really trying to figure out who and what you’re referencing. I’m sure it’ll be an I’m an idiot moment once I figure it out.

Maybe you just let it breeze by like everyone else.

Hey man BFX made his comment in good faith. This could have opened a discussion about the incident and maybe improved a fault of this community. Instead this cynicism is quite rude to him and contributes nothing.

That incident is long past and really only interesting as an inflection point where I didn't find hanging out here often fun anylonger.

Maybe klein has it and after I left people started to take his shit seriously but I was gone by then. He was doing the "I'm not saying what's right or wrong but don't you think it's unfair for men that xxxxxxx" soft peddle thing week after week when I started calling him out.

I don't even remember what his user name was but went he was a lawyer in DC who was into kung fu.

He also liked guns if I remember right.

This isn't the pain point to dig into if you want to save Hubski, at least I don't think it is but it's a funny thing to get called out about after all the bullshit I've seen people put up with here.

Oh that guy.

My last interaction with him started with me going "please I beg of you don't do a guns thread" and ended with him defending the existence of the felony murder rule because people oughtta know better despite me mentioning that I have a cousin-in-law serving life without parole for tagging along with a buddy to try and get some weed money back. Buddy got shot in the face with a .44 magnum and the cousin-in-law is doing the time. I had him blocked for years.

He rubbed me wrong in like five different ways.

A hypothesis:

    I heavily disengaged when an active user was shopping some soft peddled red pill content and no one else gave a shit to call him out cause he'd been around for a while.

mk hates blocking. Has tried to eliminate it. Yet I didn't engage with this user because we both had each other blocked. Whatever content he served? I saw none of it, unless I was told that he was specifically witch hunting me.

I'm guessing you didn't have him blocked, which meant you still saw his content. Your perception, then was that he was saying all this stuff unchallenged... when in fact, he was saying it only to those who agreed.

I assumed 'bootz, who actually got real real mad and left because he got called out real hard on his red pill shit.

To be fair, he practices what he preaches. I'm still in touch; his life is a libertarian nightmare.

necroptosis  ·  517 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Ah yeah, everything about this tracks. I hope the nightmare does have an effect for the better. I've seen some libertarian's change their mind after reality set in. Some, not many

goobster  ·  514 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I had him blocked because he didn't provide any valuable content or insight.

He can shout into the void all he wants, but what redpillers live for is engagement. They only wanna fight.

And if you can't see anything they do on the site, they shrivel up and fade away. (I assume. Again, I don't see his posts (or several other people).

I’m a generally oblivious person 🤷🏻‍♂️
