I spent alot of time at Gaurdian Talk, got 'killed' reguarly, eventually became totally discusted w/mods. One thing I noticed there was the shilling of many r/w posters... I've done some puzzling over this and I guess I believe they have back forums where they can post a non fascistic remark and get fascistic comments from a bunch of r'w'ers. I sense they have a systematic approach to using the web to buttress and shill.
I would guess there are analytiuc methods to develope web 'agencies' in a systematic way so as to be able to address any argument very forcefully and subtly. Why can't the commoners do this too? The web has many facets (
agencies) which could amplify each other and there are some very bright people here ( I gave up on detailed arguments when I was 7 or so, when I realised what a heap o steaming ones politics/conspiracy was... but since it seems I must be drawn into it or the beast will distroy all). I have my areas of skill and I am a generalli... renaisance kind of guy, but like each of you am incomplete in abilitiy to save the world and humanity from certain maladapted world views. I spend decades looking for one piece to the puzzle, but there's no time for that now.
So what's on the web? Web sites, blogs, chats, forums, the wikis,... the olds methods of collecting differentiating, linking, amplifing... anyone interested in working on systematic approaches to fighting the dangerous forces trying to destroy what we think of as human? BTW. i don't type so good, and sometimes that frustrates me and it may show at times as bad temper ( health ain't so good... one symptom, irrasability... toward rudeness. I reackon I am as well educated as anyone in my subjects, I wish we could share as if egos didn't matter and perhaps we can. I had a German descended girl for awhile, parents moved to Salvador after the war, it was she who told me of Cia torture classes for the death squads back in '71. But I got some very politically incorrect knowlege from her WW2 era German mother. There is more in life than many paltry philosophies are cog of, which to speak of is to onvite censure.... but which stiffled bread monsters. I can see historical neccessity and I can see bulls***, the USA right is puro crappo ( hope that doesn't get me banned... for everyones sake. 100 books of Psych and 200 of history, + anthopoplogy, biology, stress thoery, adaptation theory etc etc etc I hope allow me to speak realatively openly and frankly, perhaps as if I were writing to Harartz(sp?)
if not.... your loss.
Great respect for Thom giving me some keys... hope to return the favour.
If anyone here is on GU tell them the mods stink for me.
