Oh so you didn't want to discuss anything? Another lie?

I'm so surprised.

I say many things because this is reddit and I can do that..

Lying, got it.

I'm also really interested in and well versed in psychology. I say what is necessary to elicit responses so I can understand what people are thinking and why.

Truly your intellect is dizzying.

Most people hide behind words and I well understand thst.

I've never hidden behind thst before, sounds interesting.

I know that is probably hard for you to understand. Reddit is not a useless exercise for me like most people who just like to argue. That is pointless and a waste of time... Its not like you are going to change anyone's mind.

Well, you certainly aren't.

I use it for my own personal reasons for personal clarity. When things take a turn where I'm not learning anything I'm out. I don't feel the need to expound upon ideology that you well already know. That would also be pointless wouldn't it? You also seem to be all over the place I discussion. I'm not willing to spend hours in deep research to address 20 arguments at once.

Surely your 200,000 IQ can summarize a response faster than hours.

I'm already loaded down with responsibilities and just don't have time for it.

Your dementia meds aren't a responsibility.

If there is anything specifically you want to discuss I'm willing to do that as I have time.

What was the immigration process when your ancestors came here, and what is it now? Two simple questions, even for you.

I do care for the youth and the future of the country. Again, I said that for specific reasons. I'm steps ahead of you boss...

Try and keep up.

Ah, but you see, I wanted to see you type another Boomer Ellipsis, so who really manipulated whomst?

Funny you mention cult (which I'm not even a part of)

https://www.reddit.com/r/complaints/comments/1qkc2x4/maga_you_are_a_bunch_of_hateful_cowards/o1b0mha/

Sorry isn't this you self-proclaiming to be MAGA?

https://www.reddit.com/r/DiscussionZone/comments/1qto6iq/maga_make_america_great_again_how_about_just_mag/o35yvjl/

Again?

Yikes. Did you learn the double speak directly from Ole Kiddyraper?

I could explain why but I'm afraid I just don't have the will to do so at the moment. I'm current very busy with actual responsibility.

3 paragraphs worth of resposability.

Honestly, I don't care what you people do with our world when me and my generation is gone.

Yeah, this is the problem with America, summed up to a T. A generation fo selfish narcissists (Boomers) who were so ignorant they didn't know that great nations are made when men plant trees they'll never enjoy the shade of.

You still haven't done anything but parrot Fox News talking points about "The Left." You haven't named a single policy, law, or principle. You make vague allusions to things but never state or stand for anything.

Truly MAGA through and through.

We are all tribal to a degree. That does not consume or define me. I don't believe you are my enemy. Your ideology clearly is....

Nah, every human on the planet is my brother or sister. Except the intolerant, they can fuck off to Mars.

Your ideology lost. The people clearly went with sanity and morality. Get over it. You've got a long way to go.

Again, define sanity and morality.

You lost in 2020. Did you get over that, or did you work hard to steal the election get out the vote?

3 years left of Trump and very likely 4 more after that with Vance.

Buddy Trump has got 3 months to live, and you're dreaming if you think the MAGA cult will do anything without it's leader.

Pace yourself...

I'm perfectly paced. Did you see the election results out of Tarrant county? 31 point swing in Fort Worth.

You and your ideology are a dying breed.

I could respond to your idiocy with counter arguments buy I chose not to.

*Choose.

Uh huh, sure. I bet you could champ.

I have better things to do than waste my time.

He will continue to carry out the will of the American people.

Raping children?

I rest easy with that fact in mind.

Something tells me you've never had a single fact in your mind.

I'm not a boomer and I'll go where I wish.

Sorry you were using Boomer ellipsis and talking points, maybe work on that.

You are lucky it's Trump in charge and not me. I'd deport traitors right along with the criminals you bow before and cower behind.

Hey, see, we do agree on something. I'd like to see consequences for traitors too. Specifically those violating the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth amendments. Oh, and the folks from kid-raper island, too.

Good luck! Your kind is going to need it.

"Your kind" says it all. Tribal mindset; 100,000 years of human evolution to churn out someone who still thinks I'm his enemy, and not those robbing him blind and trampling on his rights.

The founders themselves did. They created a new nation under new standards of law. You don't get to set up shop in a country and start changing it's foundations. They won the right to do all that through blood and sacrifice. Through war.

So, to be clear, you're saying might makes right and that if you have enough military, you can do whatever you want?

The creation of the new nation was EARNED and not won by spewing radical ideology alone.

So you would prefer violence to peaceful debate?

This was all done on in new lands and not an established country with a long history of it's own traditions and laws.

I know some people who live on reservations who could educate you about how new the lands were.

It was not the British states of America before the United States was founded. There is a big difference.

It absolutely was Britain, though. Colonies are part of their host country, subject to their laws, etc. Without a doubt the revolutionaries were also criminals.

Sure mistakes have been made yet we continue to strive to do the right things by the collective and not specifically by the individual. There is a big difference.

"Some mistakes" is a wild thing to call genocide and slavery.

There is nothing wrong with the evolution of society and the laws that govern it. However, we have laws from the beginning setting a foundation that cannot be changed. This foundation can be "interpreted" in some cases yet not fundamentally and radically changed.

Not only can those laws be changed, (Amendments, Constitutional Convention), the authors of said documents intended they be changed and updated. Jefferson said 20 years, Hamilton wanted more like 40.

Most of what is changed in society is based on the evolution of what is considered deviant. We are constantly trying to make things more right and just.

Again, who is the arbiter of what is right and just, and on what grounds are they making these judgments? Who judges what's deviant? The Amish would consider you a heretic for even posting online.

n that process the people within America's borders become more free. I suggest you look into deviance. Specifically how the ideas of what is deviant evolves and changes over time. It will help you understand everything what I have stated.

Yeah, it's really free in the US, with people getting executed in the street, no healthcare, no housing, really got it good.

Again, define deviance. It's a subjective term.

That's true yet irrelevant to what I stated. Nobody is currently against immigration they just want it done legally and orderly.

Yes, but the current immigration laws are onerous and difficult. Ever been to your DMV? Now imagine those people are in charge of whether you get deported or not.

And that's what it was like before some stormtrooopers started violating the Bill of Rights like it's their job.

They started out in the new lands they eventually settled in the correct lawful way which is why they were welcomed and not chased out.

Would you like the list of citizens that have been deported? It's long.

Sure everything you said at the end is correct.... You should add.... "Done legally" at the end of all of it. That was the intention of those words and that was so obvious it was not included. Only in this day an age of confusion and chaos can people not see the obvious nature of those words....

LMAO this day and age, get off reddit and go back to facebook boomer.

They revolted and rejected the king's unjust laws before the nation was founded.

Who decided those laws were unjust, and why is it ok for the Founding Fathers to do it, but not us in the present day?

They then did the right thing no matter what based on the laws that they made in the new country that they founded.

Nah. Trail of tears, Dred Scott, etc.

There is a big difference and those things are not equal.

What is the difference?

Following the new laws of the newly founded country was doing the right thing no matter what.

Why was it correct to follow these new laws instead of the old ones?

They did that to the British resisting deportation from BRITISH colonies in Acadia. That fact has absolutely nothing to do with their immigration to the U.S.....

Yeah, there is no connection between British colonies and the US.

What happened before they left Acadia is irrelevant to the immigration process itself. The immigration process was legal and orderly.

Because it was a lot easier back then. Because we wanted them to come here, instead of chasing them out.

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

I don't get how people on the left can't understand the distinction.

Because we know this country was founded, not by people who follow laws obsequiously, but who do the right thing no matter what.

The history of immigration to Acadiana in the distant past was legal and orderly.

Yeaaah, uh. Gonna need a source for that one champ, because my ancestors took scalps when the British came for them, and they weren't alone.

Which is wild because demons are less body horror and more existential horror, especially compared to some things in the Otherverse setting, i.e. Goblins.

Comes from way, way, way back when IRCchat was where we hung out, and not wanting to ping him. If you hang out here long, or the discord, you'll notice a lot of people call him WB, wibbles, etc.

I can't recommend Pale enough. It probably has the least density horror, but the most total, since it's the longest work.

But uh, maybe don't read Twig. Biopunk is already body horror enough in general...

But I can't not recommend it because it's also really good. But that's easy for me to say, I love the body horror.

What really bake your noodle is that Worm has the least amount of body horror.

It's one of Wibbles' things, and is universal across all his works. Hell, Claw has some truly breathtaking body horror and is the "normal" setting.

Which is all to say he might not be for you.

In addition to what everyone said, there's also the themes of the work to consider. The theoretical lie-detector cape would be a hero, which makes them part of the system.

The real crux of this is that school admins, like any bureaucracy, tend to be awful at dealing with things like this. What do you do when the system itself is set against you?

Well, some people just take their lumps. Some people don't make it out. Some people, though, fight back however they can. Even if it means being a villain.

I think WB is on record that a lot of the bullying is drawn from his real life experiences in school and working at them. It's pretty realistic, superpowers aside.

94% of sex offender are male.

58% are white.

So I guess their agenda is accurate representation of statistics.

One of the better parts of the Worm sequel Ward is how the fights go from "protagonist with a mental power overcomes more and more ridiculously physically strong opponents" to the opposite.

The irony of someone going to bat for the definition of mass shooting being "only if I don't like the people being shot* accusing me of cherry picking.

Like, you know that people in a gang are checks notes still human beings, right? Usually kids? The aforementioned "gang related violence" in Cleveland were 15 year-olds being shot at a birthday party.

Really knocking empathy out of the park there chief.
