Comment on Anon interviews for a job

I guess we’ll have to disagree on that. Since no one would be forced to participate no one should be harmed.
I am sure as an enjoyer of c/greentext you can appreciate the comedic value of such an unmoderated cesspool.
When someone affected chimes in and actual harm is potentially caused I might reconsider my foul mouth. I am not going to censor myself proactively to goose step in line. Every word we give up to whoever “uses it wrong” gives them power. I am not going to do that.
Good talk. Thanks for taking the time.

As someone who used 4chan a very long time ago, I appreciate the comedic value in how much of a cesspit it is, not because the people there are valuable. I spent a while there seeing death threads (threads of video/images of people dying) and all kinds of other messed up things. Do I assume those things are good things for people to see though? Absolutely not.
First, we aren’t “losing” words because language changes. We gain many more instead.
Second, who’s “them” that are gaining power. You seem to have an imaginary enemy you’re fighting. I can promise you you’ll lose because “they” aren’t real. No one is trying to control you. They’re only trying to keep you from harming other people. “They” also tell you not to assault people and you listen (I assume) despite it forcing you into a position you didn’t choose yourself. Being an asshole isn’t something to be proud of just because you’re sticking it to some made up enemy. You’re choosing to let a made up enemy control you instead by fighting against them instead of making choices for yourself.

Are you hallucinating? What does anything you wrote have to do with what I said?
Maybe you should de-radicalize yourself, or idk, meet normal people irl.

I quoted exactly what I was referring to from your comment…
Also, you’re one to talk. How about trying to not use ad hominems to try to dismiss someone’s arguments just because you don’t want to listen. If you have an issue understanding something, you can ask. I didn’t say anything particularly complex though.

I think I have heard enough. Careful you might be a case for /c/meanwhileongrad
If you truly think I have to listen to you you’re more delusional than I thought. I believe in IDIC. Just because I don’t understand the way you think doesn’t mean you aren’t valuable.
