POLITICS MEGA-thread 2025-2026 edition

Basic game theory states that, without numbers, we are going to be wiped out by competing forums.

You spit vitriol toward the people who, like the migrants, have contributed immense and immeasurable culture to the forum only to be made out as a scapegoat.

The forum is genuinely going to have their Boston Tea Party moment soon.

@Huber was a martyr.

fuck off

by the way you’re not fucking rage baiting me if i was already raging you corny weirdo loser

Everything done in the interest of preserving our community is ragebait.

Ask yourself where this caricature came from, who perpetuates it and how it benefits the status-quo.

My dream for the forum would be a generally stoic environment instead of the endless squabbling that dictates every point of discussion.

that’s you, that’s what you’re posting

it’s a metaphor get it haha

Even if robbers with a sharp saw were to cut your body into pieces, anyone who had an angry thought because of that would not be following my instructions. If that happens, you should train like this: ‘Our minds will remain unaffected. We will speak no bad words. We will remain full of compassion, with a heart of loving-kindness and no inner hate. We will meditate spreading a heart of loving-kindness to that person. And with them as a basis, we will meditate spreading a heart full of loving-kindness to everyone in the world—abundant, expansive, limitless, free of hate and ill will.’ That’s how you should train" ...... “If you frequently reflect on this advice—the simile of the saw—do you see any bad word, large or small, that you could not put up with?

let me guess, that’s benny, or simply, not toprak.

Guess again

Red herring fallacy.

toprak is way too erratic for this - and frankly, cooler

Ad hominem.

Reposting due to attempted astroturfing.
