r/badphilosophy has a meltdown over a user daring to criticize social justice.

/r/badphilosophy , and all the badx subreddits, are absolute shitholes. Pseudointellectuals with no credentials circle jerk eachother about how minority views are totally right, and every majority view is some kind of -ist and thus needs to be tossed out.

like u/mrsamsa, they're all just a bunch of racists really

I popped into /r/badhistory one time to see what it was like. Just circlejerking about how nobody has ever done REAL socialism, and how the Holodomor never happened, and how actually Mao was doing the right thing and it was just western propaganda that made all these things seem so bad.

And it's true that there is some Western Propaganda on the subjects. But to say that the entire events are fabricated to make communism/socialism look bad is absurd.

BH has been getting steadily worse since even before I was on Reddit, but the last year or two has seen an absolute tailspin into communist circlejerking.

It's funny because communists are basically the worst and most prolific group that rewrites history.

Its simple, really. No one can deny that the holocaust was carried out by the nazis.

However, since real communismTM* has never existed, its easy to explain away how what happened wasn't due to communism but due to <insert bullshit argument here>

Nah proper holodomor-deniers deny that the holodomor was anything but a natural famine despite overwhelming evidence to support that it was deliberate genocide. I think they get away with it more because the homodomor is a much lesser-known genocide than the holocaust, so people don't have that instant kneejerk "oh a holocaust denier, how disgusting" for tankies.

It's strikingly similar to the Turkroach defense of the Armenian genocide.

"Duhrr it wasn't a genocide, but even if it was they they had it coming. They were on our land and needed to be killed to make space for Turks. But it wasn't a genocide."

That is surprisingly in line with the holocaust deniers who overwhelmingly seem to believe 'it didn't happen, but I wish it did'.

My favorite is the fucking yahoos that literally take all starvation deaths outside of Communist/Socialist nations and just make a blanket statement that they are an example of the horrors of Capitalism.

They're trying to tear down Confederate statues now

Well who actually gives a fuck about that though.

Neither do books

Books don't care about public statues?

You don't care about history?

Nobody is going to forget about those guys because the statues dedicated to them were torn down. I just don't like the idea of honoring a bunch of dudes who betrayed their own nation just so they could continue to enslave black people. They deserve to be remembered in the history books, but not in a positive light.

The victors really do get to write the history books wow.

Just think about your statement for a second. How many white men actually owned slaves in the south? Do you really think every confederate soldier was a slave owner?

I think they fought for a cause that can be traced back solely to slavery

Doesn't matter how many of them did or didn't own slaves. The fact remains that they fought for the institution of slavery, and that is despicable. They don't deserve to be honored or remembered like this.

"uhh uhh erasing history is bad but uhhh who cares about those people we dont like..."

What history is being erased?

I've seen your post before and you're just going to pretend to not understand what I'm saying, and continually ask questions with obvious answers.

Right. Nice.

So there is no history being erased.

Yes there is.

For example ___________

I already provided one. Do you talk like this in real life? I'm guessing you got beat up a lot.

You talked about removing statues, but not about how that erases any history.

Are you jewish.

Lol so no you still can't explain how that erases any history...

already have lol

are you jewish?

Did you? Where?

It's right there.

What do you think there means?

Up his ass

Why are you pretending to be so dumb lol

lol I wonder if you realize how hard getting downvoted in r drama is

not sure i understand u

Tearing down a fucking statue doesn't erase history you tool. All the statues of Lenin Mussolini Hitler Stalin etc are gone and good riddance

I don't know why you're getting so upset about some truth bombs being planted little buddy

Did Hitler not exist because there are not statues of him in public anymore?

Who?

Flair checks out.

There are statues of Ashernasurpaul that ISIS is tearing down, he skinned people alive, should destroy those too?

It's fucking history.

Nah those have some value

Allied soldiers blew up the swastika on the Nuremberg Stadium.

But that swastika was fucking history!

The Confederate flag is a swastika now? Lol

What about the hammer and sickle

What? No, I haven't said the Confederate flag is a swastika. Clearly Confederate flags are Confederate flags and swastikas are swastikas. I'm just agreeing with you that the swastika is 'fucking history'.

To borrow a turn of phrase, 'There are statues of swaskitas the Allies torn down, the Nazis committed genocide, should destroy those too?'

Statues of swastikas? Lol

Yes leave them. Put them in a museum if you don't want it in public.

Statues of swastikas? Lol

Really.

I said this very thing previously. Allied soldiers destroyed the Swastika on top of the Nuremberg stadium.

Yes leave them.

Why?

/u/gaynigger1488

You seem like a pleasant fellow

You seem like an annoying snarky bitch boi

1: Literal nazi upvoted, just another day on Stormfron... oh fuck this is reddit

I enjoyed the volcano worship last over there

finally started to impose a floor on how bad /u/mhl67's Trotposting is allowed to get, though.

That nut followed me around and posted my comments twice to badhistory, mostly about how communists like the SPD often enable fascists. I didn't follow it back (that never ends well) but I was at least glad to see that he got demolished by half the posters there.

I still can't get over his insistence that Ebert backstabbed the working class by lying to them about social programs and then spending the money on battleships instead.

since even before I was on Reddit

Really? I think I was the 200-something-th subscriber to /r/badhistory c. early 2013 and I believe you were already there or got there around the same time.

yes and in retrospect it was already in decline

Huh.. I've definitely seen plenty of criticisms of communism there. I don't go there quite as often as I used to though.

It's devolved pretty steadily. It used to be a great source for effortposts and discussion with a little bit of circlejerking, but the quality has slipped.

the Holodomor never happened,

we actively ban users for denying the Holodomor on /r/history and /r/badhistory

my last post there was a critique of CPUSA propoganda

Then why are the comments of that thread filled with denial of communist involvement, and accusations that the entire thing is an FBI false flag?

it's not...

I'm confused. One of the top comments is "Didn't the FBI make it all up?"

two comments were joking about the fact that the FBI heavily infiltrated the fbi

they don't actually think it's an fbi false flag, you're just didn't get the joke

So you ban everyone who denies the Holodomor, except people who deny it "as a joke" based solely on your discretion?

wait, do you know what the Holodomor is?

Isn't he the big dumb guy in game of thrones?

no no no, that's hodor. a holodomor is three dimensional image made by manipulating light

i thought this was a Holo Domor?

And as I predicted, communist jerk each other about how the holodomor didn't happen.

IIRC the first episode of Duke Nukem 3D was called "Hollywood Holodomor".

Does it hurt to know that your ideology is on par with nazism?

i don't think /u/Prince_Kropotkin would call himself a communist either

not to mention, we both think the holodomor happened

If you actually think that, go to r/badsocialscience and make a post about Holomodor denial.

what does /r/badsocialscience have to do with /u/Prince_Kropotkin or i?

and i'm pretty sure it'd just get removed no matter whether it denied or affirmed the holodomor. that's pretty squarely historical, they probably deal with social science apart from history

You're a mod. It's one of the subreddits i called out. It would also deny the Holodomor.

i'm not a mod of /r/badsocialscience or any BadX sub i'm pretty sure

regardless, i'm still not sure what that has to do with your accusation that myself or pk denies the holodomor

You hang out in communities that deny the Holodomor and are filled with communists.

That is the central issue of this discussion.

i also do not hang out in /r/badsocialscience

Your reddit profile says otherwise.

...it does? i just refreshed snoopsnoo, and it doesn't show a single comment there. and i don't remember the last time i've read a post on that sub

that's weird, because i haven't commented there in quite a while. it's a reasonable mistake for you to make, but i've never commented there.

i mean you can check the actual submissions or comments i make. they're pretty much all here or SRD, they're the only places i really enjoy

Yeah, I bet the website is just lying about you. Fucking reddit and it's lies.

i mean you could check. there's apparently only been 20ish submissions in the past sixty days to BSS, and well under 100 comments on those. you could just glance and see my name is never there, l

I notice you ignored that.

well yes, you edited the comment to add it after i had replied. you can't expect someone to always reread your comment and notice the new stuff

Also, is genocide a social issue? I notice you ignored that

i mean obviously, genocide is all kinds of issues. but the question of whether or not a certain set of historical events is a genocide is more of a /r/badhistory post than a /r/badsocialscience post. it's bizarre i'd have to explain that twice

well yes, you edited the comment to add it after i had replied.

There's no asterisk dipshit...

but the question of whether or not a certain set of historical events is a genocide is more of a /r/badhistory post than a /r/badsocialscience post.

Um... no it isn't? Genocide is a sociological term to describe the intentions of needless kill as an attempt to eradicate a race. It is social science.

There's no asterisk dipshit...

yes, but there's no asterisk if you edit in under 3-4 minutes. why would you lie about something so silly? we're the only two people even reading this, what's the point lmao

and yes, history is a social science. so, as i pointed out, it would probably be more apt for badhistory. i mean, if you want to post holodomor denial on BSS go for it. i glanced at their front page and the seem to avoid historical discussions as there's already a sub for that

yes, but there's no asterisk if you edit in under 3-4 minutes.

Which isn't what happened. You just ignored it.

i glanced at their front page

lol...

ok fam

i mean you could check. there's apparently only been 20ish submissions in the past sixty days to BSS, and well under 100 comments on those. you could just glance and see my name is never there, lol

Again, I bet you're right and reddit is just lying about you.

PS bernie would have won

Never get to know will we? Instead people on the left decided the best option was an old out of touch white lady with more baggage than an airline.

capitalism sucks

Eh, I kind of like not dying at 23 to tooth decay. But thanks for the offer, kid.

communism will win

wasn't true communism tho

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union

The Soviet Union, officially the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (...) was a socialist state.

im bored now

Aww that's too bad. I had tons more wikipedia links.

Bye commie. Enjoy.

RESIST #IMPEACHTRUMP #ANTIFA #ABOLISHCAPITALISM

are they actually this furious or is it the act of one of the usual people who just have the CONSTANT NEUTRALITY thing going on

they are very angry. they made some silly and easily disproved accusations about badhistory, and had it brought to their attention. they then misread a couple comments and made another silly statement, and had that corrected. as a result, they've just been changing the subject wildly.

the weird thing is, most of their points make no sense. like, he's claiming i'm a badsocialscience regular. hwat? they'd prolly ban me for participating here, tbh

some weird peeps here

yeah lol

he's very dead set in his opinions, especially that i'm a regular in a dead sub. or that i must be a regular in holodomor denying subs. he absolutely needs that to be true

no no no, that's a holograph. a holodomor is someone who fears/hates gay people.

no no no, that's a homophobe. a holodomor is an empty half sphere

no no no, that's a hollowsphere. a holodomor is when your car loses traction on the road due to water or ice.

no no no, that's hydroplaning. a holodomor is one of those big, fan-powered amphibious vehicles with the rubber bottom.

No that's a door holder

i see two mentions of the FBI...?

In a not-very-active thread. That's like 20% of the parent comments.

i thought that might be a decent point, so i went back to read the comments

they're not even flattering towards the CPUSA. the first is criticizing the CPUSA for being a honeypot, and so is the second...

lmao you haven't even got an actual idea of what badhistory is like. i've got some things i dislike about the BadX subs, but you're genuinely just forming an opinion based on what you've seen posted on other metasubs about badhistory. lol, this is the most meta retardation i've ever heard of

Lol.

You're a fucking idiot reimann. You literally mod one of the 45 anti trump subs that got generated after the inauguration, and you actually think you're not a fucking retard.

i'm not sure what having joke subs in your mod list has to do with whether or not you can read comments and parse their meaning, but you seem to be enjoying this change of subject

would you like to talk more about subs i mod? i'm partial to /r/hmmm

joke subs

ROFLMAO

Oh god... that's is HILARIOUS! Joke sub!! That is not a joke sub dude. At all. It's a 100% serious attempt by retards like you to flood reddit with anti-trump content.

what isn't a joke sub? i dunno, there's a few in the list. are you talking about Trumpgret? because i only posted there once, i think. i dunno how that's flooding. i don't even do any mod actions. i accepted because the name's funny to me

Lol, I specifically called out "anti trump content" and you still pretend to be confused... Those reflexive defense mechanisms bro. Not working out so well.

but i mod several anti-trump subs, i'm pretty sure. i was trying to make you be more specific, because you never mentioned which one. i think the only one i've posted on is /r/Trumpgret and only the once, so i asked how that was "flooding"

you weren't being very clear, i just wanted to clarify

But I thought I was the one that couldn't understand comments? Lol...

You can't even talk shit consistently over more than 1 comment...

but i've been just saying the same things the these last two comments

pls speak to a professional

Nothing you say will ever change that you're a pathetic reddit-obsessed sperg with an ideology comparable to Nazism.

but i'm not a communist?

and i am sorry i use reddit in a way that makes you unhappy. i hope you find some way to enjoy this site!

cb2, badsocialscience defending communism, uh yeah.

Yeah you are. If not, you look act and sound exactly like one. So, if it says stupid shit like a duck...

why are you bringing up CB2? that's not a badX sub. i'm also not sure what either of them have to do with my personal politics

i'm also not sure how understanding comments about critical of the CPUSA makes me a communist. that one still eludes me

i'm also not sure how understanding comments about critical of the CPUSA

About critical of the CPUSA? Man you are so intelligent and articulate.

you're right, i made a typo in an internet forum comment. i fixed it for you!

But dude, you are so intelligent and articulate! How could you have made such a basic mistake? Why didn't your intelligence and supreme mastery of the written word save you?

He's right tbh /u/riemann1413 - this is pretty damning.

you're right. i'm just gonna kill myself

Dibs on your new shoes

they are pretty slick, aren't they?

They are. You never did say how much they cost, btw, so I'm assuming they're so disgustingly expensive you're ashamed of it.

just over $600

don't tell my mom

Holy fuck

What are they made of, panda leather?!

hand crafted out of the excess removed from your mother's labia, actually

That is hardly a rare commodity. You got ripped off.

that means i orobably overpaid for this lesther couch as well. shucks

Jesus Christ KYS for that.

they're good shoes

They better fucking fly for $600. You could feed an Australian family for weeks with that much money.

You could feed an American for an hour and a half with that much money, Jesus Fucking Christ.

Behold the communist in his native Habitat, enjoying the privilege of the lower class.

i think you accidently a word

nig

someone sure is mad they got comprehensively owned

Nobody cares PK. Go back to jerkin off about communism and let adults converse in peace.

Again, the opinions of communists can be safely disregarded.

you're absolutely furious i love it

Lol yeah, definitely me, not the communist that came to this thread just to defend the honor of communists in r/badhistory

I like that you think links you post will get clicked.

Keep charging around, defending the honor of communists everywhere PK. Then accuse other people just chillen in an r/drama thread respond to craziness mad. It makes tons of sense, I promise you. Keep doing it.

baahahhaa the anger

So much angry, I came into a random thread I wasn't involved in to defend my ideological allies.

Lol. Nobody is going to click that ever.

oh no i clicked

user reports:
1: surplus autism

lol

Omg is this what its like being cyberbullied

The irony in this comment was so deep it gave me the bends

You should make that your flair

There is a massive user overlap between all those subs.

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

If you follow any of the above links, please respect the rules of reddit and don't vote in the other threads. (Info / Contact)

It's also so pedantic, in one post they wrote a huge text criticizing the historical accuracy of a song.

Any group of people shallow enough to base their identity around how dumb everyone else is can't help but be pedantic. Badsubs are inherently retarded because the only person who would participate in such a thing can't find any validation for their self proclaimed intelligence unless they're lording it over someone else. Honestly history has to be the dumbest thing to feel superior about, it's one of the most practically irrelevant fields of study.

You realize that most people on badhistory do that for fun? Its not supposed to be a serious sub...

I think the point is if you find that fun you're a waterhead.

waaah people enjoy stuff I don't understand so they must be DUMb

Sarcasm and condescension are the smart man's comedy am I right?

They can certainly be comedic. I'm not sure what your point is, though...

It's very interesting how they are totally willing to accept this western propaganda on the USSR, but when holocaust deniers come out saying essentially the same thing about Nazi Germany all of a sudden they develop the ability to be logical and realistic.

These people obviously have a deep-seated issue with reality.

They're just murderous humans who have a lid kept on them by the system they claim to loathe.

Wasn't Mao doing the right thing? He's killed more Chinese than anyone

Just circlejerking about how nobody has ever done REAL socialism, and how the Holodomor never happened, and how actually Mao was doing the right thing and it was just western propaganda that made all these things seem so bad.

link?

that does not sound like anything I've ever seen on the sub

You're a crazy leftist too. I'm tired of you guys dogpiling already. It's so boring.

so... no links

FEELS > REALS

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Nice link

Oh yeah, I forgot that contract I signed that made me beholden to every internet leftist that freaks out at me. Sorry, bro.

This is r/drama. Go defend your bullshit ideology somewhere else.

GIVE US THE LLINK YOU FUCKING COCKTEASE.!!!REEËÊ€÷ËÉÈeee÷

I popped into /r/badhistory one time to see what it was like. Just circlejerking about how nobody has ever done REAL socialism, and how the Holodomor never happened, and how actually Mao was doing the right thing and it was just western propaganda that made all these things seem so bad.

....

No, it's not. BH is pretty much pedantically jerking about every wrong detail in pop culture or refuting idiotic history from racists. What the fuck are you even on about?

Are you just making shit up?

yes

(((racists)))

I havent seen any refutations.

I haven't read /r/badhistory in about 2-3 years, but it used to not be that way. I remember a lot of effort mod posts that were against redwashing.

/r/badecon is the only good one

Badecon is garbage

It bad because me no understand

Is that so? I haven't actually looked and don't know muc about economics to begin with. Philosophy and history are pretty shit

Badecon is pretty good, by BadX standards. It's dropping due to /r/neoliberal, though.

a fascist whining about r/neoliberal, as expeted

Why do you think i'm a fascist?

You've self-identified as one

But i lie all the time

When you act retarded 100% of the time, being a retard becomes who you actually are

Oh but that's not an act

Well I like you sir :)

Are you really autistic in real life though?

i never had delusions of grandeur

You lack the only fun shit about the disease

Well at least you cope with it in a very healthy way:

Shitposting on the internet and bullying ramdon people

Yeah i haven't murdered anyone in years.

At one point that were mutually exclusive in the DSM I think. So close enough

Stop you abeliest language.

Retarded lives matter

They don't tbh

Yes, this!!! Why can't people accept some of us don't want to be taken seriously?

Wait you're not really a nazi? I thought we had a connection.

I do think Hitler was an angel, sent by God

lmao

no its not. It was always this bad. Were you just blind back then or...?

What's bad about BadEcon? I think it has pretty good rules like having to provide explanations why a post is bad economics. It's the best BadX sub out there.

r/neoliberal is so fucking dumb

Economics departments in Europe fucking laugh at shit like that

Oh no, not Europe! Which ones specifically, schools like LSE, Oxford, and INSEAD teach a lot of this stuff?

Economics departments in Europe fucking laugh at shit like that

Not in prestigious econ unis like LSE, INSEAD, Bocconi, Said, LBS, HEC, Esade, ESCP... you get the idea.

Even then, the US is the center in economic academia, whether we like it or not.

Not anymore, they are starting to get to dangerous smug levels, defening ridiculous position just for the sake of it, and have several head mods shared with badphil and banning people for personal disagreements

lol, that's one of the worst

/r/badlegaladvice admonishes you. You are admonished.

/r/badlegaladvice admonishes you. You are admonished.

Maybe I'm just displaying "toxic licensed privilege" or something, but every time I've visited /r/badlegaladvice, I see as many OPs that are wrong as ones that are legally correct.

Granted, it's been a while. Has the sub gotten better in recent days?

It's a good idea to assume that any given badx sub is just communists circlejerking about how they're right, socialism has never been really tried guys, and their favorite dictator of choice dindu nuffin.

AHCTUALLLLLLLLLLLLLY Stalin wasn't even a real communist so it doesn't count.

counterpoint: badeconomics is status quo neolibs rubbing themselves raw to austrian economics

Counterpoint: badeconomics hates austrian economics.

Seriously, it's all orthodox, academia, post-Keneysian economics in there.

Bad philosophy = shit arguments + power. So that's why there's a pro-SJW bias.

BadPhilosophy = Power + Prejudice + Bullshit

Racism = Power + Prejudice

Therefore, BadPhilosophy = Racism + Bullshit

Q.E.D.

Badecons good

I think badeconomics is OK, but yeah the rest are shit.

BadPhilosophy in particular is like 95% people that took 1 "philosophy 101" class in college and now think they're experts.

All their denizens have found me and are freaking out on me in the comments here. It's pretty hilarious.

i am literally the only badphil poster i can find in this thread replying to you

If you had just literally proved me right, this would be really awkward.

Wait...

All their denizens

i am literally the only badphil poster i can find in this thread replying to you

I get that this isn't going to be a productive conversation, but you could try harder than that

I called out ALL of the badx subs not just badphilosophy dipshit...

the dude and/or dudette who you replied to said "BadPhilosophy is particular", so sorry for the whole "using context thing". Regardless, that still doesn't make any sense

Also, with respect to "no credentials", I actually kind of do have credentials in philosophy, so feel free to make a joke about McDonald's here, although if you care about the wellbeing of your fellow man, you'll try to keep it original.

No. You tried to criticize me based on something someone else said. I said "the denizens of" and have no reason to refer to his comments as opposed to mine.

credentials

Yeah, most people with advanced degrees, especially in philosophy, cannot parse basic conversations and make themselves look like idiots in the process.

I said "the denizens of" and have no reason to refer to his comments as opposed to mine.

Gricean maxims in ruins

pragmatics destroyed

ordinary language but the ruin of a decadent civilisation

u think ur the only bad Phil? not so fast

did you just call me Phil? how dare you

Dr? Uncle? Kessel? Collins? adelphia? There are alot of trash Phils.

as opposed to badeconomics, which is liberally festooned with non-undergraduates

You gotta make a r1 at least to comment on the silver threads, which are mostly people who understand this shit

Plus, because it isnt a circlejerk you can actually challenge any comment you see, or any post, without getting yelled downvoted and banned, making it easier to spot who is talking out of their ass, and making giving your own opinion less of a hassle.

Now, if badphil likes the yell downvote and ban way good for them, is probably more fun anyway, but this also means they get flooded with the " yay another sub for me to yell at my slightly conservative parents " types, which I think subs like badecon lack.

In general I just find the sub insanely vitriolic and cynic, and I remenber before I even understood what Stemlord meant that when I first found that sub my first reaction was to think " why are this people so fucking angry and smug "

In general I think badphil is closer to r/drama than they think, but like way closer, but if you dont realise how much of a cunty anti-social retard you look when you post in subs with the same spirit than this one you just end up looking like a joke. So yeah, badphil to me is like r/drama if r/drama took itself seriously.

In their defense I think some of the mods are self-aware, is the " mooooom please I am arguing with this guy on the internet I cant go now " types who arent.

a significant proportion of the casual users/non-mods/lurkers are pretty dire, although I'm hesitant to get involved in atnorman's anti-lurker/take the sub private mindset too. honestly i never found it that smug tbh, at least to begin with, and at least to the extent that plenty of the smug shit is pretty clearly tongue-in-cheek, whereas /r/drama has a full-blown and pretty explicit attitude of blurring the lines between tongue-in-cheek, ironic, sarcastic, and deeply felt personal commitments, which a decent portion of the regulars use to shit on anybody deemed a non-insider - you know, schoolyard or fratboy shit to as nth a degree as possible - which badphil never gave me the impression of being.

Still, maybe that's my insiders' perspective. i discovered badphil when i already had a reasonable grounding in philosophy, i have a BA in philosophy, and it isn't hard for me to separate the wheat from the chaff. And, although given that that's my limited perspective, i don't really get the R1 thing as being a true delineator of badecon from badphil. From my point of view, the R1 thing just lets people who know a bit of undergrad economics to shitpost about stuff they know little or nothing about in the renowned shitposting thread. I only know enough about econ to separate eve from adam in the most basic way, but i certainly know enough about politics and philosophy to know that that rule doesn't exactly separate the enlightened from whoever, and i think badecon's more introspective and reflective users would agree with that. I certainly don't think that the pro-learns attitude actually allows people to do much else but upvote or downvote any view that they already hold or disagree with, and i think that some of the discussions i've seen and had in that subreddit rather reflect that fact.

But then even before i knew what reddit was i always suspicious of the whole "sunlight is the best disinfectant" idea. ban the heretics etc.

honestly i never found it that smug tbh, at least to begin with, and at least to the extent that plenty of the smug shit is pretty clearly tongue-in-cheek, whereas /r/drama has a full-blown and pretty explicit attitude of blurring the lines between tongue-in-cheek, ironic, sarcastic, and deeply felt personal commitments, which a decent portion of the regulars use to shit on anybody deemed a non-insider - you know, schoolyard or fratboy shit to as nth a degree as possible - which badphil never gave me the impression of being.

Well yeah, but, to be fair, they both have the problem of being filled with randos who don't get what the subreddit is about. At least, I'm told the original cadre here recognize it's bullshit, and the hoi polloi who confuse bullshitting for confirmation of their status as special snowflakes are an unintended consequence and/or contribute to the comedy. And that's kind of what's happened at /r/badphilosophy too, hence the perennial suggestion to take it private so people can bullshit about Twin Peaks and whisky in peace.

hence the perennial suggestion to take it private so people can bullshit about Twin Peaks and whisky in peace.

Hnnnng! So good!

I'm told the original cadre here recognize it's bullshit, and the hoi polloi who confuse bullshitting for confirmation of their status as special snowflakes are an unintended consequence and/or contribute to the comedy.

"This is probably a good way to prove I'm not smug"

Which reminds me, I have whiskey at home.

Dude you're actually retarded holy crap

How far back are your stupid communist comments?

Not everyone who disagrees with you is a communist. Some people just realize how dumb you are.

Everyone who makes pro-Communist comments, and hangs out in communist subreddits is.

It's completely possible to sympathize with communist ideals while also not being a communist. I know that nuance is too difficult of a concept for you to grasp, but please try your hardest.

/u/reimann1413 are you a commie?

/r/badwomensanatomy is the only good badx sub

/r/badeconomics is fine tbh

/r/drama , and all the xdrama subreddits, are absolute shitholes. Pseudointellectuals with no credentials circle jerk eachother about how minority views are totally right, and every majority view is some kind of -ist and thus needs to be tossed out.

THE LITERAL PHRASE "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS" IS A SHIBBOLETH TO IDENTIFY THE DUMBEST GUY IN THE ROOM. IF SOMEONE SAYS THE WORD "POLITICAL", FOLLOWED BY THE WORD "CORRECTNESS", THEY ARE THE DUMBEST GUY IN THE ROOM. WELL, NOW I'M SECOND GUESSING THAT, CAUSE IT'S LOOKING LIKE THERE'S A NEW CANDIDATE FOR DUMBEST GUY IN THE ROOM AFTER YOUR INABILITY TO PARSE A SENTENCE. THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW THAT SOCIETAL NORMS EXIST WITHIN INGROUPS. REAL GROUNDBREAKING STUFF AND NOT SOME SLACKJAWED BANAL SHIT.

u/charliebrookerfan37 you can stop looking so hard for the dumbest guy in the room

it's you

Shibboleth? Whoa, someone's breaking out the big boy words. I bet he used that in an essay he recently did for high school and the teacher loved it.

You never know, perhaps they just see the truth that political correctness is a tool of (((you know who))).

Are you talking shit about us Jews again?

Well they are lefties, so the only evil Jews are the Jews that think their homeland should be run by Jews and not by murderous desert savages.

actually he doesn't even understand what a shibboleth is holy shit

u/charliebrookerfan37 why are you so stupid?

I ask myself this question too.

None of that is an excuse for being enough of a dumbfuck to even exchange words with these people..

You are correct, however:

"I am a good cuck, I love the self-abuse." - /u/CultOfCuck

this is like watching question time on the bbc but with even fewer people qualified to comment on the matters of the day

You are mod of that cancerous sub so I will take you opinion with a pinch of AIDS.

Unban me and I will fondle your genitals whatever shape(s) they may take.

People who use words that are more-frequently used by people who I disagree with are stupid and bad.

Now, I am not even a commie, but you went too harsh on Zizek /u/charliebrookerfan37

/u/charliebrookerfan37

Do you really have a philosophy degree or are you just politically shitposting on whatever sub that will accept your shitposting?

/u/charliebrookerfan37

Do you really have a philosophy degree or are you just politically shitposting on whatever sub that will accept your shitposting?

"if you say this thing you're a stupid idiot and i don't need to explain why because youre so stupid you must be wrong i win again haha get rekt"

Truly philosophical.

THE LITERAL PHRASE "GET REKT" IS A SHIBBOLETH TO IDENTIFY THE DUMBEST GUY IN THE ROOM. IF SOMEONE SAYS THE WORD "GET", FOLLOWED BY THE WORD "REKT", THEY ARE THE DUMBEST GUY IN THE ROOM.

the username /u/charliebrookerfan37 is a SHIBBOLETH to identify the dumbest guy in the room.

You can always identify the dumbest guy in the room because he's wearing a name tag that reads "Hi, I'm Sibboleth".

This gave me the most upkeks so far.

What about the guy that said

Behold the frog, who when he opens his mouth, displays his whole inside.

That was /r/im14andthisisdeep level

At least he didn't use allcaps

/r/BadPhilosophy has a collective vore fetish.

r/badphilosophy is fucking trash thanks to dickheads like /u/luke37

I just come to reddit dot com to make fun of people and ban them.

You fellas and I are a lot more alike than you may think.

You have a buttplug too?

that implies only one, so no.

I should've known, you do act like someone who has a lot up his ass.

Man, you guys really bring the bazingas.

Hey when you drop the ball in front of the goal, then i'm not going to bring my best either.

Bazinga is a banned word btw, so watch out.

I was pinged, and now I'm getting "were you dropped on your head" responses, which, eh.

I like a good internet slapfight as much as the next guy, but if the user with a swastika isn't even putting forth an effort, it all seems a bit flaccid, you know?

The swastika is because i'm buddhist, it'd be against my religion to say anything inflammatory. Youre all caps rant was worrying, though.

Man, you try to have a little fun yelling, and suddenly you're the bad guy.

There are no bad guys, dude. Haven't you read Nietzsche?

Never heard of her.

It's a pretty obscure philosopher, i don't expect analytical departments to know about him.

Man, you try to have a little fun yelling, and suddenly you're the bad guy. -Hitler, 1945

What are your thoughts on the Diamond Sutra?

Sorry, when we send ultrashitpost, we're not sending our best

I'm more like a dirty bomb than a missile. It gets the job done, but it aint pretty.

Eh if you were a dirty bomb you'd just make people overreact.

well i think you're pretty

I see you have met our resident schizophrenic

I am not even shitposting

I do hope he's doing well.

My uncle had schizophrenia. When I was a child he tried to commit suicide and was paralysed for the rest of his life. His actions affected everyone in the family, my father especially.

I can only hope that /u/Ultrashitpost has a supportive community that loves him, a psychiatrist that he believes he can be open with about his feelings and a partner that stands by him.

I do, thank you very much.

And my Abilify works like a charm.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

Can confirm.

Ban me daddy

Modding's a pain in the ass on the phone.

Wait you can mod on the phone? I thought it was literally impossible to do without desktop. How?

Web browser?

Web browser always automatically links me to the mobile version of the site.

I don't know what browser you're using but I have firefox and chrome on my android tablet and reddit defaults to mobile but there is a setting to use the desktop version.

Wow I click that tab all the time and never even noticed "desktop site." Thanks! That will make things so much easier.

there's usually a tab in the corner of the browser that lets you see the desktop version automatically

Done. We thank you for choosing BadPhilosophy Bans Express. We know you have a choice in indiscriminate, capricious banning, and we thank you for choosing /r/badphilosophy to provide this service for you. We look forward to hearing your increasingly desperate whining to be unbanned in the future, and hope that you enjoy the pointless task we assign to you. Fingers crossed for more Mr. Belvedere!

Wait who tf are you

/u/ccmulligan

it says so right there above my post

You're not daddy Luke tho. I did not consent to you banhammering my bussy. 😖

I'm like six times his age tho. And consent is a fluid thing, baby. Let's see where the day takes us.

Rawr!

Lawyer lawyer!

Is drunk sex rape?

I gotta find an answer to this one, I would very much not like to be both a rape victim and a rapist, or hurt anyone for that matter, but man Spanish people really like sex and drinking ( God I fucking love this country sometimes ) and I dont want to be left behind

I wonder why people in economically fucked countries are more fun and easy-going than rich first worlders, or is a weather thing? 🤔

Lawyer lawyer!

You can't afford my fees.

Is drunk sex rape?

Maybe? I guess it would depend if someone was raping someone while drunk, or who was drunk.

I would very much not like to be both a rape victim and a rapist,

What if you were raping someone, and then someone else came up and started raping you in the middle of it, though? Ever think about that?

I wonder why people in economically fucked countries are more fun and easy-going than rich first worlders

You get pretty sanguine about small annoyances when survival is a bigger concern. Fallacy of relative privation and all.

Wait, shit, was that a serious answer? I mean, we're all fucked, son. Even the rich.

You get pretty sanguine about small annoyances when survival is a bigger concern

Wait, dont you mean lesser?

What is the marxist explanation for this hapiness/wealth lack of relation? I am telling you man I know europeans who lost a 60k-80k job here in Europe to live in Brazil making way less

You know I'm not going to be serious with any replies, right?

Who could have predicted that a subreddit full of philosophy undergrads would be garbage?

I took 12 months of philosophy courses and I can safely say that these guys aren't even that.

Yeah I minored in philosophy and 95% of that sub has no idea what they're talking about.

I've heard the word "philosophy" before and I'm pretty sure that sub is mostly metaredditers who read an /r/askphilosophy thread once about how moral relativism is probably wrong and have decided they are now experts.

single tear

philosophy undergrads

They're clearly not, usually philosophers at least do one better than people in other arts fields and don't just go "communism because no reason lol"

THE LITERAL PHRASE "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS" IS A SHIBBOLETH TO IDENTIFY THE DUMBEST GUY IN THE ROOM.

the wewest of lads

You know what's dumb? Getting a high enough score in highschool (whatever test for each country idk) and choosing to undertake a degree in philosophy

Make sure its at an Ive League university too, so you can graduate 300k in debt and have only a adjunct professor income.

I gazed into the abyss and saw an asshole.

That was probably just a mirror, /u/mrsamsa

Oh damn, schoolyard burn :(

Now give me your lunch-money, you fag

Whoa language. Can I link to another sub and claim you're having a meltdown? Write the joke in capitals, then people won't understand the joke.

I'm sorry, but my talent is not for sale.

Damn it, you killing me here. I just need a little bit of karma, help a guy out. I swear it's my last time.

If you want free karma, then go to /r/askreddit and reply in the "Rising" questions. Works all the time.

Communism has always and will always fail

oh nooooo, you've criticised communism, my only weeaaakknnessss...

But seriously, I don't know what communism has to do with anything.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOM I'm an anarchist now!

Communism is a shit rebellion strategy. At least do drugs so that it's fun, or become a goth so you can later make millions with a makeup tutorial YouTube channel.

Your beliefs are poopy

You can attack my character all you want but don't you dare criticise the goth lifestyle. It's a way of life.

nig

Don't you dare finish that word. Unless that's the cool way kids say it these days, then shame on you.

I'm black I can say it you can't.

Fuck, airtight logic.

I swear it's my last time.

Yet you always come back.

Look, just pony-up the cash for a dominatrix like a normal person and quit coming to /r/drama.

Hello Mr Samsa

In your defense you are not an asshole

Just boring and too righteous

But dont worry is not your fault, first worlders in general are like that

Except australians, they are fun

Who's to say I'm not Australian?

You've been bamboozled, my friend.

So you're an Aussie? Throw another pedantic weaseling alarmist on the barbie! Guddaye mate. Were your ancestors imbecilic criminals?

They were probably abos

I always knew you were a racist.

I imagine you in a a psych ward common area hogging the computer time from other lunatics.

That's disturbing coming from someone with obvious mental issues like you.

Have you figured out why you flipped out so much about having someone disagree with you? I just can't figure out what sparked this weird obsession with me. All I did was dare suggest you might be wrong and you're still banging on about it...

You're overflowing with bullshit. lol.

Have you taken your pills?

I'm being serious here. It's clear that you have some mental issues and you're getting sensitive about me pointing it out because you know it's true.

Haha! Nice try. No I don't take pills.

You've encapsulated a new category of internet blowhard: An over-zealous tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist specifically for pissy social justice topics and race baiting. Menslib is calling they want their mascot back.

Do you ever wonder why wherever you go people don't like you?

No because that doesn't happen. I think you're projecting. You really have proven how cognitively incapacitated you are with this stubborn game of "No you are."

Remember how your own sub made fun of you for your submissions?

You mean the post I made about how badphilosophy was a dumb joke and you guys went over and brigaded my humble sub?

The regulars of the sub telling you to shut the fuck up aren't "brigaders".

Haha. Dude, you have one post going right now with about 400 down votes, and you're talking about my two comments from not regulars about a lengthy shit post I made specifically in reaction to you guys, posting a comment I made about you and bad pillosophy, and how fucking idiotic you guys are? You're gasping for air right now.

What post has 400 down votes?

Also, your friends hate you.

Haha! I wish you were even slightly kidding because this would be funnier.

Okay, you have like -75 downvotes and no exaggeration, about 40 comments in there. Where do you find the time?

Okay so the number has decreased from 400 to 75, that's quite a drop. But still no link, so o guess in your next reply my score will be in the positives and after that it'll be the most upvoted comment in the history of reddit.

As for the comments, posts only take 30 seconds to a min to write so that leaves quite a lot of time in the day..

As always, I live my life doing the opposite of what drama thinks is good.

The amount of negative comment karma was around 75 last I counted, and yeah I counted. You've been doing this for 9 fucking years?

Wait what... you spent time searching the thread for my posts counting down votes?..

Haha get a life. Jesus.

It was easy because i have you tagged bright pink in RES!

Cool? It's creepy that you're counting down votes.

Who hurt you?

Whatever you say Mrs Amsa.

no, you not

Whoa, racist.

Fuck off we're full

Typical Australian immigration policy.

as you're probably the only person from that sub who will actually respond, i'll just ask you...

do you really not see the link between a decade of white-shaming/anti-white racism, and the rise of white pride/nationalism? do you think it's just a massive coincidence or something?

what other reaction would you hope to get from constantly telling white people how shit they are?

this is why the non-retarded left oppose the far left btw. the reaction was inevitable

I've never really seen any white shaming or telling white people how shit they are.

so when you see all these people complaining about it, you assume everyone but you is in some kind of mass psychosis?

I don't really see a lot of people complaining about it. I guess Fox news talks about the oppression of Christians and the war on Christmas but I don't think there's any reason to take them seriously.

and presumably you also don't see the normalisation of sexism against men

Like when 90s TV shows had incompetent husbands?

like when men are far more likely to go to prison than women, and serve a sentence twice as long for the same crime, and when people even try to abolish the concept of women going to prison

or when companies institute policies banning men from sitting next to unaccompanied children. because all men are paedos i guess

I saw a YouTube video that called all that a myth though. Also, since men and women are genetically different we shouldn't expect equal outcomes.

oh are you one of those "if you disagree with me on one issue you must also believe the polar opposite of everything i believe" people

jeez with you and that guy screaming in all caps about how everyone who disagrees with him is dumb, that sub seems aptly titled

oh are you one of those "if you disagree with me on one issue you must also believe the polar opposite of everything i believe" people

I'm just talking shit, I don't even know what you're arguing about.

jeez with you and that guy screaming in all caps about how everyone who disagrees with him is dumb, that sub seems aptly titled

The guy in the linked thread who's taking the piss?

why are you posting in a philosophy sub if you can't even parse simple sentences?

maybe tell me which bits were too complicated for your lil brain and i can walk you through it

My parsing is fine, it's just more fun mocking victim complexes. That's what drama is for isn't it?

uh what victim complex would that be? if you mean being a non-White person in a country seeing a resurgence of white nationalism then i guess i'm a victim. and that's primarily down to you and your dumb ilk

This is why Trump won.

yes so on behalf of disadvantaged people, thanks a lot

>trying to have a real conversation on /r/Drama

you're doing it wrong, hes doing it right. Stop while you're behind

gb2/r/all

the rise of white pride/nationalism?

Let's take a step back: Has there been an increase in "white nationalist" sentiment?

I remember being a punk kid in the 90s and it was just sort of accepted that there would be skinheads (and not the SHARP kind) at shows. You don't see anything like that now (I think).

It's possible that Nazi nonsense is on the rise, and it's also possible that it's declining but just gets reported on more often now. Do we have good numbers on this?

i think the elections across Europe and the US were an outburst of it. when I say white nationalism i'm not saying they're nazis really

The antifa vs fascist larping in Spain is lesser and lesser for lacking of good fascists opponents too. I am not sure how much is people just focusing too much on it on the internet.

applauds

/u/EinNebelstreif I'm curious as to why you do not consider racially segregated safe spaces as bad. Genuinely curious.

Darkies can't be expected to perform on the same level as whites and that might make them uncomfortable. With no whites present their level of intelligence will be perceived as normal. I think... I've never actually met a non-white person in my life.

I think that is the usual argument, right?

/u/EinNebelstreif

Minorties can get PTSD simply from living, and the mere sight of white skin sends them into a panic attack.

Minority fragility, sigh.

Because he is a racist.

Drama gets worse by the day, and thanks to petty assholes like you OP. They banned you get over it, this drama is shit and boring

And so is the anarchist and the trump drama

/u/snallygaster /u/cirquedufuder /u/comedicsans

You guys gotta start deleting boring posts seriously

This sub needs more drama from outside of reddit and less drama about meta subs and " THIS GROUP DID SOMETHING "

end of the rant

How did I get here?

Você sabe quantos portuguêses sao necessários para afundar um submarino?

Dois. Um bate na porta e o outro abre!

[deleted]

Probably because /u/alcoholicmood assumed you weren't so retarded as to not recognize the kind of bullshit OP and friends are jerking about today.

[deleted]

Wait you're portuguese?

Yes

Ahaha gross

We try to flag the crap ones as "retarded", but you know how full-blown autists get when their agenda posts are deleted. Definitely feel free to downvote the retarded ones, though :^)

You should have a flair that says something like "OP has a shit tier bussy". If I ever got flaired with that, I'd rethink my agendaposting ways.

Send that to modmail! Even better if you can find an appropriate flair-sized pic to go with it.

I'll try to find something.

Drama gets worse by the day

Oh no your internet club is getting worse, some serious business right here goy

HAHAHAHAHA YOU'RE GAY

It's really too bad that /r/philosophy is taken over by these kinds of people. I have a minor in Philosophy and it's a huge hobby for me. I wish there was a place on reddit I could discuss it without the incredibly overbearing, agenda pushing, moderators.

Religion, politics, philosophy. All things with no good place to talk about them on reddit.

Who was the retard who thought that it could be?

On the internet is literally impossible and always will, for a lot of reasons

thinking the biggest problem with /r/philosophy is not enough modding

not rly what I said.

that's what I took from it, feel free to clarify my misunderstanding

*without the incredibly overbearing, agenda pushing, moderators.

Try reading.

so you want to get rid of the overbearing moderators but you don't want less moderation? surely "agenda pushing" is just gravy.

The agenda pushing is on the part of the moderators.

i don't recall claiming otherwise...

estrogen in the water, straight white males in reeducation and/or labor camps, fake news trying to make it look like Trump isn't great for America, medicine for poor people, the usual stuff.

medicine for poor people

omg didn't you learn anything from UK? poor people don't deserve prescriptions.

serious fact: my friend can't afford prescriptions for mental health drugs in the UK because her wages only cover her rent and spectacles, which she needs to see

poor people don't deserve prescriptions.

well duh, that's why god and/or the selectionary pressures of social darwinism made them poor. but SJWs want to subvert the natural order of things, out of sheer malice.

my friend can't afford prescriptions for mental health drugs in the UK because her wages only cover her rent and spectacles, which she needs to see

when I was in that situation, my doc gave me the samples he got from the drug company. dunno how common that is, but it couldn't hurt to ask for that or a cheaper off-brand version of the drug

I am not sure how serious it is, but if she really needs then and if it is that expensive she could try to do what many english people do and come to Spain for a while, as spanish healthcare system still provides for immigrants.

"Turismo de salud" they call it here, and is usually worth it as you end up saving way more than you pay in the travel.

/u/antihexe are you this Trumpette subhuman wokeupabug thinks you are, or is this smug and condescending comment one of the reasons why you think r/philosophy is trash?

I'm not /u/antihexe and I don't know who that is. Also, I don't post in /r/philosophy. Also, you're acting scandalized by people giggling over bullshit in /r/drama.

But, you know, other than that, you're pretty bang on here. Keep up the good work, A+++, excellent seller, try the fish.

Neither, because I take a daily supplement called Brain Force PLUS™ with advanced ~almond~ neural activation.

also, since i know at least one of the moderators, i'd love to know what agenda they're pushing

wew

i really would

I've tried asking this before. The guy I asked denied that the conservative mods there are "real conservatives" because they're not gamergaters and don't criticise SRS.

Seriously. Political affiliations are determined by your subscribed subreddits I guess..

Political affiliations are determined by your subscribed subreddits I guess..

Fun game

free use porn, nsfw_gifs, crackwatch, consulting, badecon, surfing, drama, fitness, stoicism, askphil, bill burr, dota 2, music, punk, earthporn

Those are the ones I check from time to time, what is my political affiliation?

and the pressing matter of our time

where do I fall in the gamegater wars?

I don't think it's possible to determine political affiliation by looking at subreddits subscriptions, unless you only post at places like the Donald and every comment is about how he supports your political beliefs.

Yes, banned from r/philosophy without notification. Not sure why I'm banned, but I am.

It's really too bad that /r/philosophy is taken over by these kinds of people

I took over /r/philosophy five years ago.

I gave up on /r/philosophy because it became clear that it wasn't a place to discuss philosophy, but to grandstand and gate-keep.

Well, yeah, ... that's literally my primary duty as a moderator of /r/philosophy: I remove posts that aren't about philosophy.

It's really too bad that /r/philosophy is taken over by these kinds of people. IIRC the mods all post in /r/badphilosphy -- same clique. I have a minor in Philosophy, and more it's been a lifelong interest for me. I wish there was a place on reddit I could discuss it without the incredibly overbearing, agenda pushing, moderators. I gave up on /r/philosophy because it became clear that it wasn't a place to discuss philosophy, but to grandstand and gate-keep.

/r/BadPhilosophy is the reason we still make the 'fries with that' joke about philosophy undergrads.

I mean, my brother is about to graduate with a BS in Philosophy and he's not not even remotely comparably insufferable.

#NotAll

But I do believe you, some people do survive College (and even Philosophy!) with their sanity intact.

mayocide2 pls

I see I am /r/Drama D-list celebrity famous, so yeay I guess?

Anyway, /r/BadAtPhilosophy really is a big fat circlejerk full of arbitrary mods with arbitrary rules who act like totalitarian dicks. It is a social justice echo chamber to the point where they think completely denying the existence of political correctness (a social construct as legitimate as the patriarchy, at the end of the day) is a good argument.

These people are cucks.

how, exactly, does joking about the fbi infiltration of the CPUSA deny the Holodomor?
