Here's a bunch of the same people cheering him on for an article about their political adversaries being similarly fooled

Even if they did read it, they're incapable of comprehending any information communicated in fewer than 10 paragraphs

You’d be surprised, I’ve noticed increasingly heavy cross-pollination over the past few months

Yeah, the amount of hypocritical butthurt and double standards when it comes to treating rightoid wingcucks with "charity" while straight up seetheposting against leftoid wingcucks on /r/themotte is why I barely read the culture war roundup anymore. I cannot understand why so many people are going into conniptions over a fricking non-journaloid twitter user getting pranked. It clearly isn't about protecting the reputation of trains from undeserved hatred and it isn't about principles (from a former community member). It's just righteous huffing and puffing over someone on their side getting tricked.

This is what happens when you cultivate a culture where humor is literally banned.

@TracingWoodgrains post was pretty straggy though. Individuals in general should not be taking credit or associating themselves with gay ops like that. When Al Qaeda bombs an embassy, the bombers name isn't the important part.

To be fair there really isn't a better place to get the right wing takes and there are often good discussion. Where else are you going to go? Breitbart?

Maybe it’s nostalgia but there used to be a lot less wingcucks when it was on /r/slatestarcodex. There was also more variety of topics than :marseytrain:s and twitter journos

yeah, the lefties balanced it out. but now /r/ssc is useless for anything but links because it's otherwise a slightly more willing to argue SRD(at the expense of :marseylongpost2:), it's nearly declined to /r/xkcd levels. And that was probably the sweet spot if for no other reason that the blog comments were so shit to use.

Reading /r/slatestarcodex now is like visiting a lobotomized friend. Smh posters there are basic as frick now. Where did all these lame new posters come from?

Probably NYT readers from the dox that think they're open minded but just brought their normie beliefs. But really when the people who post in the motte left to the motte who was left? People who claim to value to challenging your beliefs but are too fragile to handle even careful disagreement.

Pure Rationalism is r-slurred as humans aren't rational. Just be an ubermensch instead of a bugman

With Socrates, Greek taste suddenly changed in favour of dialectics: what really happened here? Above all, a noble taste was defeated; with dialectics, the rabble rises to the top. Before Socrates, dialectical manners were rejected in good society: they were seen as bad manners, they humiliated people. The young were warned against them. People were generally distrustful of reasons being displayed like this. Honourable things, like honourable people, do not go around with their reasons in their hand. It is indecent to show all five fingers. Nothing with real value needs to be proved first. Wherever authority is still part of the social fabric, wherever people give commands rather than reasons, the dialectician is a type of clown: he is laughed at and not taken seriously. - Socrates was the clown who made himself be taken seriously: what really happened here? - Freddy Nacho

humans aren't rational.

This is the actually purpose of the community, the point isn't that you are rational, it is that you should aim to be more rational. Christians don't aim to be christ.

I like how you're saying this as if rdrama isn't basically the same.

Mottecels are just fragile rightoids hiding behind :marseylongpost:

RDrama unironically has more intelligent and balanced political discussions nowadays in spite of our general r-sluration :marseysmugretard: :marseyspecial:

To be fair I think a lot of rdrama aligned mottezans lost our accounts in the orange cat raid of /r/place so it was imbalanced.

In fiction terms none of these people seem to recognize that "the villains" have the capacity to plan and act "off screen" and are thus constantly getting caught flat footed by almost everything. They seem to missing that part of thier brain that would normally be assesing the situation and telling them "That's bait".

This is the same guy that's sneeding in OP's link about Trace's comment, because this time he's the one that got tricked. Behind all the sophistry mottizens are really just dumbasses.
