XO pos: "Shitlibs are dogmatic and irrational. Btw love Christianity" (DTP)
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 27th, 2020 9:16 AM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen love that a central faction in the attack against shitlibs comes from a group of beloved "christmos", and that instead of seeing the inherent dangers of ceding control and power from a loosely held pseudo-religion to an actual organized total religion, the vast majority of posters (who are filthy heathens, btw, larping as fans of devout religion) not only seem to accept and condone such a transfer, but they feel a sort of perverse, contrarian, self-flagellating *glee* in prostrating themselves before the might of christianity as society's savior and solution. simply to "stick it to" the godless shitlibs they reflexively despise. really shows how pathetic, weak, stupid, and emotional most XO posters are - really in fact worse than shitlibs, much worse.

Date: July 27th, 2020 9:50 AM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen see i was literally the only poster on this board to point out that Charles was nothing more than a bitter incel with a laughable veneer of morality holding him back from saying the disgusting things he would frequently blank-bump. and yet that false veneer, when steeped in *christianity*, was enough to garner the universal respect, worship, and praise of the entire board. really sad.
i don't pay attention to these posters as a class, they're utterly boring, aggressively conventional (that's the point), and uninteresting. but this recent interaction with some of them due to an offhanded comment i made in another thread really shows how smug, self-serving, stupid, and dangerous they are, particularly in light of their present-day weakness. there is a seething rage with heterodoxy writ large in their comments. even supposedly brilliant (lol) board "luminaries" like beckersted would gladly string you up for charges of heresy because it accords with their bible-thumping beliefs. it's not a stretch at all to imagine this.

LOL at handing over the keys of society from a disorganized bunch of punks like antifa and shitlibs to the historical blight of christanity.
surely posters as fair, magnanimous, and open-minded as *charles* and *beckersted* are going to countenance your heterodox views when they and their apparatus have their boots on your neck. the average xo poster is simply a juvenile idiot. |

Date: July 27th, 2020 10:32 AM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen thanks for the compliment, but stuff like this genuinely surprises me. it was so stunningly obvious what charles was, and the nature of what was going on here, that almost the entire time i didn't feel it was necessary to put it into words.
i immediately recognized charles for what he was: incel recognizes incel. but more than that, i could obviously see the dangerous strain of grievance combined with aggressive normativity which is the calling card of violent moralizing goose-steppers all throughout history.
charles is not the sort of incel who simply wallows in his misery. he is the sort of incel who assiduously projects his problems outward and takes corresponding action. his superficial adherence to some "morals" and subsequent restraint he showed from outting himself explicitly as an incel, is an indicator of what makes him so dangerous. but 99% of xo posters apparently looked at it and regarded it the opposite way. |

in the post you were responding to, i said "they would resort to drugs because of being ostracized for being gay". presumably that happens less frequently today, does it not? if so, then my overall point is true, so not sure what your issue is. are you saying gays do not have it better today? |

if shitliberalism has dislodged some of the primacy of religion, then that's a good thing. at least the displacement that's occurred from 50 years ago to now, has been unquestionably good. now you can argue about the specifics and about the future need to maintain balance, but that's a more nuanced and moderated discussion than the ones had here, which 99% are about the need to return to christianity full-force by a bunch of reflexively juvenile idiots who are entirely unaware of the tremendous *good* that shitlibs have done for them by precisely taking power *away* from the christian goose-steppers like charles and beckersted who would have previously oppressed them. |

Date: July 27th, 2020 10:36 AM Author: Orange property goal in life All that I get from reading your drivel is that mass immigration is a disaster for any country. You simply can't integrate people like you into a well established society in huge numbers without it destroying the country. 50 years ago, the notion that shitlibism is preferable as a mass religion than Christianity would be vehemently denounced by the overwhelming majority of the country. And that was a good thing. Their only mistake was not being the oppressors that you denounce them for being.

Date: July 27th, 2020 10:49 AM Author: Orange property goal in life One more thing - most non-western countries actively protect their cultures from subversion from non-natives. If you show up to China and start preaching something the government hates ("you need western democracy"), you will be arrested. In India, a mob will form and throw you out. Try to be a Christian preacher in a Muslim country or Israel. You'll be thrown out or worse. Only the US and the West are we stupid enough to invite people that hate our traditions, history and culture to live among us and destroy us. And the people we denounce are the people that try to prevent that. Once that destruction happens, I think the remaining societies will understand why this was a historical aberration that shouldn't be repeated.

Date: July 27th, 2020 10:57 AM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen yes, the US is unique in the world (and perhaps in history) for its tolerance of heterodox views. tell us something that we didn't already know, moron. that's intentional and civics 101 you uneducated, cretinous dolt.
it has led to the unique dominance of US culture and institutions, which encompasses free media (admittedly getting pozzed but still better than anywhere in the world), universities (admittedly getting pozzed but still better than anywhere in the world), and entrepreneurial mindset (silicon valley and nyc, literally the crown jewels of the modern age). if you are so stupid as to not understand this, it is honestly a waste of time talking to you as a reddit 8th grader would have more "insight" into the world than you do.
you "people" (and i mean you as a broad psychological class) are a constant blight on the human race, but more ironically than that, you are in a very deep sense un-American. |

Date: July 27th, 2020 11:06 AM Author: Orange property goal in life The tolerance worked when the US was basically made up of European, Christian immigrants. The population was homogeneous enough that there were common understandings on the basics of life, philosophy, etc. Differences were limited to shit like Irish vs. English vs. Italian vs. Hungarian, Catholic vs. Protestant, etc. People like you were extremely rare, so it worked. Now it is a bunch of people that have nothing in common so people can earnestly say that shitlibism over Christianity is an improvement.
The US is clearly in its twilight as an empire. It this point we can already start discussing the cause of the decline. You're a prime example of it. |

Date: July 27th, 2020 11:23 AM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen maybe, maybe not. unlike most xo posters, i don't presume to be omniscient. here are some things we do know though.
what do know is that "oh we have crossed the line now and are degenerating as a country" was a sentiment that was strongly felt in every previous point in this country's history. but it was not true then. is it true now? maybe. needs to be put into context though.
what we do know is that the leading thinkers and doers in this country have often felt stifled by christianity and conformity. whether it's ultimately needed and irreplaceable for overall society is an open question. but should be acknowledged that much of the progress in this country, even in many centuries past, was made in spite of and not because of christianity et al.
what we do know is that the acceptance of diversity and embracing of heterodox views has risen in lockstop with the increasing complexity of the modern, technological, globalized world. as such, there is a good explanation for why it came to be, and there are plenty of good explanations for why it is sustainable even if you don't believe it was in the past. not going to preach one or another since i don't really have so strong views on these topics, just again placing things into simple context because 90 IQ xo posters are irritating |

your interpretation of things is valid, but your reasons given are flimsy. gold standard, monetary printing, and high debt don't count as multiple things: they are part of the same thing, and i don't see what they have to do with white people or christianity. moreover, you are presuming that they are fraudulent or will lead to collapse. i would suggest that this is an ignorant presumption. i would suggest there is reason to instead think of them as an experiment in macroeconomics/finance that is more interesting, innovative, and impactful than almost anything else going on in the world today. they are a new form of technology, not an old form of fraud and deceit. i believe this is where you're getting your doomsday pessimism from. |

|
Date: July 27th, 2020 3:32 PM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen have you considered that China's lack of innovation and freedom (its 'bug' society) goes hand in hand with its lack of shitlibs? and that if it were to promote a culture of innovation and freedom, shitliberalism will begin to take root just like it has in 100% of western white countries that have attempted to simultaneously promote innovation and freedom?
you claim that white christian countries are the only ones that can be prosperous and free. and yet, there are no examples of white christian countries that are prosperous and free in the present day. the correlation is very much inverse. you then point to the western world of the 1950s or 1800s. yet nobody would consider the 1800s west to be anywhere close to being free or dynamic enough to remain a powerhouse in the 21st century. and the 1950s west was already heavily secular at the top, and secularizing everywhere else throughout, and you were merely seeing a temporary phantom sustained by cultural inertia in the halcyon days after WWII. |

|
Date: July 27th, 2020 3:54 PM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen there are very benign reasons for why innovation should go hand in hand with shitliberalism: the most obvious one is female enfranchisement.
as for freedom, you are changing the topic. i might agree that *technology* leads to a loss of freedom. but i don't agree that a decline in christianity does. even for a white male who loathes shitlibs, society today is much freer than it was under christianity. |

this doesn't make any sense at all as 99.999999% of innovations are done by men
"even for a white male who loathes shitlibs, society today is much freer than it was under christianity."
depends how you define freedom i guess. you're spied on 24/7, every move watched today. what you can say without losing your job is severely limited and getting smaller every day. but yeah if you want to fuck a guy in the ass you have much more "freedom" today |

Date: July 27th, 2020 11:10 PM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen while it's true that the vast majority of 160 IQ geniuses are men, innovation is not simply scientific / technological breakthroughs in isolation. innovation is also the 120 IQ achievements in efficiency and organization that enable and magnify the impact of those breakthroughs, and women undeniably play an enormous role in all of this.
you're once again bringing in technology (spying) which is not the topic of this discussion. and sure cancel culture is stifling and bad. but this has realistically impacted what, 0.01% of the population? furthermore, not being able to get hired in the first place because you're a woman, or gay, or a minority, is far worse. |

lol come on bro. name of some of these women that "enable and magnify the impact of those breakthroughs"
"and sure cancel culture is stifling and bad. but this has realistically impacted what, 0.01% of the population? furthermore, not being able to get hired in the first place because you're a woman, or gay, or a minority, is far worse."
directly impacted a small percent of the population, sure, but the psychological effects of it have terrified and cowed a huge percent of the population into self-censorship or worse (people won't even think the bad thoughts).

Date: July 27th, 2020 11:54 PM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen the 120 IQ'ers are nameless, so i wouldn't be able to name them. or are you disputing the fact that an innovative society depends on having a large class of accountants, lawyers, engineers, lab scientists, professors, writers, etc etc and not just a few geniuses? i also have vague suspicion (not provable, of course) that a society which subjugates women would also have a chilling effect on innovation at large, independent of the direct contributions those women would have made. you can make an analogy with the chilling effect of liberal speech codes, and that would be fair.
2. so let me get this straight - people making a statement about race and potentially getting fired is bad, but people not getting hired in the first place *because of their race* is not as bad? this makes no sense to me. and why do you emphasize the psychological effects of people "cowed" from making statements about race that would impact their jobs in the current period, but discount the psychological effects of people cowed from *expressing their sexual identity* in the past for fear of physical violence? your moral calculus in weighing harms is nonsensical to me. |

lawyers and accountants are SPS and don't do shit, engineers depending on what they are doing can be 18000
the best odds to get humanity off earth is to have a stable (economically and socially) society that allows the top 0.0001% of white men the ability to innovate. spacex is the best chance humanity has imo . people who put an emphasis on *expressing their sexual identity* are not constructive members of society for the most part and add a level of instability which is counterproductive to the things i care about |

Date: July 27th, 2020 12:51 PM Author: laughsome school I’m an atheist, but I can understand the value of the Judeao-Christian teachings around personal and social behavior. Christian teachings provide a framework for social coexistence, and represent the collective lessons-learned of our ancestors (from farther back than the founding of Christianity, since Christianity itself was heavily influenced by philosophies such as Stoicism and neo-Platonism). I’m sure I share your opinion that the mystical aspects of the religion are nonsense, that the religion is easily abused, and that many people use the written words of religion as an excuse not to think for themselves. I certainly would never acquiesce to religious rule. However, I do think there is value in the religion, and I think the modern liberal notion that human nature is somehow different today than it was 2000 years ago is extraordinary dumb. |

Date: July 27th, 2020 12:57 PM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen don't just look at what it purports to teach. look at what it leads to empirically. do you think there was more virtue in society in the 1950s when racism, sexism, homophobia, etc etc (not even getting into all of the more abstract harms of religion) were dominant, compared to today? today we have what, increased promiscuity and cancellations on twitter?
and my broader point, is that the vanguard extremists - on both sides - pushing these ideologies should be reviled. yes, go ahead, shit on the feminazi shrieking shrews and their fascist enablers. but also, be fair, be honest - have a sober look at charles and beckersted and their proto-fascists with their own harsh brands of prescriptivisms waiting in the wings. |
|
Date: July 27th, 2020 1:26 PM Author: laughsome school There are a few flaws with your logic. 1). You have defined today’s morality as being immutably “good” and backwards-projected it to past eras. History shows us that today’s morality will evolve into something different. Future generations will think of you and I as having moral failings that seem obvious to them, but you and I have no idea what those will be. It’s not because the world is more moral; it’s because morality changes.
2). We have far more than just “increased promiscuity and cancellations on Twitter.” When viewed holistically, modern day morality has failed to solve most of the things it defines as problems. We still have wars of aggression being fought Iraq/Vietnam/Grenada; our society is still (apparently) rife with misogyny, homophobia, and racism; nearly a fifth of women are on anti-depressants. Even though I generally agree with today’s morality, our belief that the world is a better place now is just a manifestation of confirmation bias, declaring that the pervasiveness of our shared morals is progress rather than any fundamental change in the world. In fact, modern day liberalism has largely failed in fulfilling its greatest promise: providing people with meaningful lives.
3). You can afford to be more tolerant of the Charles/Beckersted wing than the shrieking feminist wing because the shrieking feminist wing looks like it will be imminently implemented. I’m sure in the future the pendulum of power will swing back towards the religious fundamentalists, but until the day comes when they are the threat to my freedoms, I’ll align myself with Beckersteds against the juggernaut of liberal moral outrage. |

Date: July 27th, 2020 1:58 PM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen 1. well, we need some way of making value judgments across time periods, or any discussion about "values" and "morals" is moot. i do think, in some universal sense, that, for example, censoring someone's views on twitter is not as harmful as censoring someone's sexual identity irl. but yeah, otherwise this whole discussion is pointless.
2. not sure why brought up all those things which go against your views (war, racism, sexism, etc). the only thing that supports your view, perhaps, is meaningless and higher rates of diagnosed depression. but even these are all debatable. supposing you are right that the loss of christianity has led to a consequent loss of meaning, then sure this is a problem (which of course must be weighed against the many benefits). SJWs can be viewed as a makeshift effort to fix the problem and instill meaning/a belief system. i don't know how things will play out in this regard in the long-run. it's not obvious that a return to christianity is either desirable or feasible, when viewed as a whole (both the desirable parts, and the undesirable parts).
3. sure, i can agree that charles and beckersted and their ilk are a useful hedge, just feel sickened by the wholehearted fellating of them on here. they are like board icons but at heart, no better than shitlibs - just temporarily not in power. |
|
Date: July 27th, 2020 3:18 PM Author: laughsome school 1). Making a value judgement across time is moot if you cannot acknowledge the mutable nature of morality. I’m guessing that you try to be the best person you can be and adhere to your own moral code. Outside of some core principles (such as murder), I’m more of a moral relativist, so in my judgement, you are (probably) a good person who does the best with the rules and information available to him. The fact that society’s morals will change in the future will not make you a less good person. However, a moral absolutist would argue that progress is a march towards discovering absolute morality. Future generations who use the moral absolutist logic you used above can come to the conclusion that you are, in fact, a bad person. I personally find that line of reasoning to be wrong.
I also think most people define “twitter cancellations” as the online lynch mobs who attempt to ruin the reputations and employability of people whose opinions they disagree with. In a world where a small misstep will send you into an insurmountable economic tailspin, I don’t think the conclusion you came to is as simple as you made it out to be.
2). I can’t really follow exactly what you’re saying here with regard to things against my views, but my point was that the promises of the modern liberal value system (individual merit over tribalism/nepotism, an end to violence, deliverance of economic opportunity to all) have not been fulfilled. There is an underlying paradox in these values. I am a proponent of individual meritocracy, but at the same time, my own incentive for working and being successful is to pass on as much advantage to my own children as possible, which in turn leads to entrenched economic inequality. The modern neoconservative/neoliberal ideology that working creates its own fulfillment doesn’t appear to be correct, judging by how many people in our society are unhappy. The flaw in my own reasoning here is that I have no way of knowing how fulfilled people were in the past, nor can I know the role religion played in their fulfillment. |
|
Date: July 27th, 2020 5:20 PM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen 1. i understand that morality changes over time. and yet, without a stable reference, you can't compare societies. sure "twitter cancellations" is putting it mildly. but the christianity-inspired witchhunts and bigotries of the past were *far* more severe no matter how you want to look at it. it's not even close.
2. your argument is that liberalism hasn't been perfect. well guess what - christianity was far from perfect. but i see a very strong correlation between liberalism and things getting objectively better. i see no such correlation with christianity. (of course this isn't making a causal claim, i never try to.)
you think people weren't unhappy in the days of christianity? nonsense. people on xo are clinically unhappy and glorify the past.
and what is this stuff about christianity being better at promoting individual meritocracy, or not having paradoxes? where do you get this stuff?
the *only* thing i grant you is that christianity did offer a stronger belief system and provided a comprehensive framework for meaning - duh, it's a religion. but that comes with all of the negatives of conformity, suppression, bigotry, etc. |
|
Date: July 27th, 2020 6:42 PM Author: laughsome school 1). You need a common metric, not a stable reference, to compare societies. How that metric is determined is hotly debated, and that debate has been ongoing since at least the time of Classical Athens. Whether that metric be deontological, utilitarian, or some other form of ethics (such as virtue ethics or pragmatism) will never be settled, and certainly won’t be settled on this boart. The rest of your point 1 is whataboutism.
2). My argument is not that liberalism hasn’t been perfect; I’ve made clear above that I generally support our modern values and I view personal liberty and individual meritocracy as cornerstones of a society I support. My argument is that you are unwilling to recognize the extent to which modern liberalism is flawed, most notably its inability to follow through on its core promises.
Happiness is largely a modern notion. Ancient philosophers like Seneca the Elder talked more about satisfaction and fulfillment than happiness. Even Kant dedicated more time towards duty than the pursuit of happiness. That being said, since economists have tried to quantify happiness in the last 20 or so years (and longer among some fringe economists), happiness has decreased, especially in the US.
https://worldhappiness.report/ed/2019/#read
I did not say that Christianity is better at promoting meritocracy, nor did I say that Christianity doesn’t have paradoxes; that is you putting words in my mouth. I stated that meritocracy is fundamental to modern liberalism, but that this conflicts with other other values promoted by liberalism and creates a paradox, since one cannot both support individual meritocracy and accept the outcomes of individual meritocracy in the modern ethical framework.

Date: July 27th, 2020 9:07 PM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen 1. you're making this overly academic. all i wanted to say is that the cancel culture of today is still vastly superior to the homophobia, racism, sexism, etc. of the past. it's that simple. i do not want to debate about classical athens and kantian ethics.
2. liberalism is not a single coherent creed, of course you will find contradictory messages within "it." comparing it to christianity, which is an organized religion with central dogma and texts that have been combed over by religious scholars for thousands of years, is misleading and unfair.
if your gripe with liberalism is at the level of finding contradictory messages in the abstract philosophy: stop being so pedantic and look at the material conditions on the ground.
again, the *only* legitimate issue you raise are the reports of unhappiness and meaninglessness in life. yes, that's a fair point. point taken. but placed into context, i am not too concerned. |
|
Date: July 27th, 2020 11:43 PM Author: laughsome school I’m not gonna lie, man. I’m just here to argue. I posted in this thread because I can’t engage in these kinds of arguments with my family whom I’m isolating with. You could make the most reasonable argument there is and I’d pick it apart based upon your rampant logical inconsistencies just for fun. We both improve from this exercise. 1). You argue that modern cancellation is less worse than prior centuries’ equivalents. However, despite arguing above that you need a stable reference to compare moralities (what that reference consists of was left uncovered), you provide no stable reference (or common metric) with which to evaluate your claim. Today’s cancellation culture appears to have greater economic devastation than a great deal of actual criminal activity in the past. Mug shots, for example, didn’t start until the 1840s and weren’t standardized until the 1880s. Back then, a burglar or a thief could merely move to a new part of the city and restart their lives. Today, someone accused of impropriety on Twitter will be forced to bear the accusation for the rest of their lives, no matter how minute the behavior (https://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/15/magazine/how-one-stupid-tweet-ruined-justine-saccos-life.html).
2). Christianity is obviously not a coherent and unified set of proscriptions and beliefs. There are three major schisms within Christianity(Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants), and the latter two consist of potentially thousands of individual religions within their respective branches. Catholics, though superficially a single, centralized religion, consists of dozens of Orders (Jesuits, Benedictines, Dominicans, etc), each with their own interpretations of the Roman Catholic religious texts (very different than Orthodox texts, btw. Even the commandments are different).
“stop being so pedantic and look at the material conditions on the ground.” This is exactly what I’m trying to get you to do. Take your own advice. |
|
Date: July 28th, 2020 12:15 AM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen 1. laughable, simply laughable. the proportion of the population today that have been #canceled is less than 0.001%. meanwhile, in the past, entire racial, gender, and religious groups were cordoned off from entire sections of the economy, resulting in vast economic inefficiencies that was nowhere near the same order of magnitude of the twitter anecdotes you dredge up today.
2. don't care. still comparing apples and oranges and nitpicking some abstract issue that i choose not to be dragged down into. |
|
Date: July 28th, 2020 6:50 AM Author: laughsome school Lol. You gaped yourself on this one. Yes, only a small percentage of the population has been Twitter-mobbed. But, to use an apples-to-apples comparison (as you proclaim to want but rarely do), only a small percentage of women were burned as witches, and a minuscule percentage of black men were lynched. As you so aptly pointed out above, these were symptoms of a society that we see today as being unfair. The lynchings and the burnings are remembered today as being the quintessential examples of miscarriages of justice which we want to avoid today. None-the-less, you wave off people engaging in similar behaviors today because there is a superficial difference in consequence for the target? Your argument seems to be, “the past was evil, and we’re doing exactly the same things as the evil people I criticize, but this time it's different.” Additionally, I pointed out that economic participation is exceptionally important today, with economic disenfranchisement carrying a much higher cost than in the past. Countering that by saying “the problem is that in the past, economic participation wasn’t important enough and had it been, it would have been unfair” is just a roundabout way of endorsing my position. |

Date: July 27th, 2020 4:17 PM Author: sadistic liquid oxygen fair enough. i have always asserted that it is impossible to disentangle cause/effect of ideologies and religions: what does it mean that christianity caused a religious war, or that marxism caused a genocide? can you really prove that the war/genocide would not have happened anyways under the auspices of some alternate ideology? no of course you cannot.
so let's just look at the underlying material concomitants of liberalism then: peace at home and abroad, unprecedented prosperity, some campus agitation, twitter rumblings, and a hilarious orange president. looks pretty good to me. |
