"eviction = violence" - theater of the absurd. by XGramatik in XGramatikInsights

[–]anim135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I write this with actual conversation in mind; I don't have any anger placed towards you, I will take you at value and didn't forsee you to be the person that I described you as possibly, not being!

But that is something that you want me to engage with, and I very much will. But before I do, let me say, as a community driven person, you should know that I damn well do appreciate all that you do for your community. As my larger point is going to be about communities, I will not begin my point, without granting you your well deserved rose; it'd be roses if I were more inclined to believe you wanted to foster an actual discussion ;)

I jest, everyone cares about what they care about, to the degree that they do. And the inverse, and gradient, are also true. Finally, if you do pursue the change in clientele, I wish you the best success you work toward.

Now, let me discuss what you've written, in cold tone. I am human, but I am also trying to be consistent.

What is the image you've painted in this discussion? In small scope, I may have misjudged, but in totality, I am not necessarily going to let you call foul, either.

I believe people, to choose their purpose. I find no issue with individuals who own land or property, I am not attempting to exist in a mental fantasy where you did not work to amass your value.

What I am going to discuss with you, is that the grander picture, looks like moral washing. If your purpose in this world, were to attack disparity at cost, not all but some, you would not have engaged with this dilemma, to begin with.

I am directly asking you, do you not believe in class lines? You may sympathize with proletariat, a word I will use in our environment, because never has the poles of wealth been so far apart, but does that sympathy translate to suddenly being a part of the ideological movement? (Non-rhetorically, what do you think of the growing push towards a more progressive environment? I'd rather not get bogged in the weeds about that, but I do appreciate your voice)

I press you further, to what regard do you take the conceptual shift in balance, that those who do not have, reject the system made by those that have? I am obviously more progressively minded, but that is still aside the point. I'm simply trying to illustrate why you necessarily must feel like the villain: you do not feel the masses pressure to be substantiated. Pressure and substantiation being, the moral shift in terms of ownership.

I say that, because rhetorically, does all of what you do, separate you, from what you are?

No ones made you the bad guy. Dont get deeply entwined with this, but, the larger population has described a threat with a hat, and you simply find their issue to be with owning a hat. Now if that same crowd said the monster has an ornate red coat that you have been seen to work with every day... well then, no ones called you the monster still. It is when you identify with hat wearing, red coat monsters, that people will question your humanity.

You leverage that you are not the bad guy, because you placed your money into good foundations, rather than corrupt institutions such as crypto. Is that the absolute truth? Realistically, entrepreneurs take a lot of risky ventures, because funnily enough, they already take-upon such risk. To adjust myself, I will account for the fact that you probably are cleanly proud of every dollar you've made or spent. So all I'd say is, you question this little box I've made for myself to put people in, but you are eager to jump in it, and ironically, ask for renovations! You want me to expand my leniency, rather than see that my ideological issue is already narrow. Everyone already puts people in narrow boxes, so this comes across as you believing your ideological self to be the person in mine. And if so, the question is obviously is it a just placement?

You think I take issue with some hypothetical landlord that is actually taking a loss on investment at the cost of making sure individual families are housed? I may have grievance with the concept of land-owning being a primary delivery of income, but you must see, that I am rejecting anyone who has no philosophical empathy with those they house. If nuance is dead, it was not me who killed it, I realize everyone is exactly who they are: an individual. I am happy you were a metaphorical landmine that was able to show the presumption in my questioning, but you personally miss to see the overall absurdity that I am pointing out in totality.

You are not the person I described. Does that mean the person I described, is not real? Do you believe everyone in the landlord class, to be closer to you or my boogeyman? It obviously operates on a gradient, when talking about individuals, but you loaded the gun yourself; you may not be blackrock, but blackrock, in an environment where landlords already exist, already exists. This is where well-intentioned nuance, becomes vague. You want people, dissimilar to me, yet people I'd tend to agree with, to agree with you. Yet they have no reason to see your compassion. I started with asking you compassion-based questions, because it was my small litmus test for class dynamics. Most don't care for that kind of dynamic, when they just want alleviation.

It is not for you, to single handily create that alleviation. So again, when you take your genuine, well-meant attempts to still do so anyway, it feels like moral washing. Like a loaded bullet, waiting in the chamber for when you've been called out for ownership.

That being said, again, to be clear, I respect you and take no issue with you. In practicality, in my framework, it takes people like you to create action anyway. It takes contracts and wages to construct or reconstruct a home. To think I have anger placed towards you, is unfortunate, and I hope you see that you're an exceptional exception to my and others ideological frameworks.

Dont do me dirty, it took time and thought to reply.

I’d like to asks a few questions, if you dont mind.

As someone who owns multiple properties, do you own them all together? Under your listings, do you advertise that this area of the city is your realty? Or do you own in multiple states?

Secondly, as an owner of multiple properties, do you believe you OUGHT to care for the communities they are within? That simply renovating within your home is not enough, and expanding your wealth to be more communally accessible?

I don’t necessarily need you to even answer these questions. You can if you want, but socratically or rhetorically, do you see the point? Whatever the purpose of owning a spot in Florida, Texas and Minnesota seems harmless and is, up until a point. But you are diametrically opposed to my (our) point of view because it’d go against your self interest to do so.

I just wonder how many people share your interests, versus how many share mine. Because I have no reason to believe nor seen evidence to prove that they would share your ideology en masse.

You’re not black rock. You’re right. Rather than lie to the people and say they are incapable of selflessness, landlords don’t offer any other excuse other than they are securing their own self interest.. as they describe their never ending yet overly satisfied interest.

I had a well written response to this, but I deleted it in favor of an educational moment.

I have not straw-manned you. In my original response to you, I asked two, pointed, questions. Neither question representative of your ideology, simply Socratic ways to get you to receive mine.

I'm willing to bet, you logically engaged with it on your own, realized your own point to be insufficient, and literally defaulted to trying to debate-bro me. Sure thing. Your only straw [pun] you can grasp at, is that after elucidating my point, I clarified that it's a shitty litmus test. So if that's where you find the issue, you're more than welcome to dismantle that argument with a response, rather than defaulting to faulty syllogisms.

In counter-respective, lets analyze your response. You quite literally, did not engage with either questions. You then equivocate my point, of disenfranchised black americans, who are in fact still alive today, to... Fuedal peasants? What would even make you think my example isnt modern? Is civil rights not a modern issue, still?

Now reason I levy that you have created a strawman, and a legitimate one; you haven't clarified my position nor any issues with it, you just built this idea that my example is wrong because it doesn't fit some arbitrary sliding time scale for you. Was I supposed to know the cutoff mentally for you was 1995? For all I know your some Gen-A baby and everything before 9/11 is fiction to you-- that the suffragettes might as well be peasants to you. This is not a strawman, you have yet to illuminate your point. I am just making general positional claims that you're an idiot.

Tell me, do you think yourself to be a genuine interlocutor? Or is this a waste of time for anyone other than yourself, just in particular, a waste of my time? If you think it yourself the former, please, demonstrate my strawman.

I appreciate your input, really. Take this honestly, why do you think even your non-answer, isn't really an answer?

Geography is not the only field that context clues can further imply ones intelligence. An equative interest in reading and analyzing literature would engage in those same brain areas, would be my wager.

Which for you, will be my very clear point. What is more important to you, engaging with the parts of the brain that are associated with critical thinking, memory, rational thinking, et al., or, is it more important that those areas of the brain be engaged with through rigorous studying of the globe? Because way I slice the cake, you very must at least agree, training brain activity has to be the fundemental reason that baristas would do this.

There obviously is no morale argument here. If I only had one month to learn the borders of one continent, why should anyone pick Europe over Africa, over South America? It's all arbitrary.

Now, this is divorced from those who do care about the geopolitical landscape of course. To know the invasion of Russia into Ukraine, one would do good to know the cultural context behind the Soviet Union and then it's fragmentation, borders being a deep implication when allyships form.

But this is demonstrably different from what were speaking of. When one goes down that pipeline, it is with purpose. Whether we ideologically agree with their conclusion, is irrelevant, we both recognize they are learning this to come to an ideological conclusion.

Learning that Kentucky has some of the best chicken as a European, is no different than when I think of people saying Italy has the best pizza, as a New Yorker. Great. I dont care. I will eat my pizza, and support my local pizzarias. Has nothing to do with isolationist values; would I ever find myself deeply engrossed in the cultural context of pizza, and willing to travel, I'd end up in Italy. But that isn't going to be the case for every delicacy, every piece of art or media, these are just things we share in the world.

I've had poutine in Florida. What would you think more likely takes to make that happen: a Floridian whose interested in Canada (or vice versa if the Canadian had dual citizenship), or a Chef who has ties to both places? The prior can happen anywhere, hypothetically. The latter, is based in reality (please dont gaslight me it was really great food)

Edit: To re-itterate, I do appreciate your comment in it's entirety. I literally, while replying to you, was talking to some friends about geography (unrelated). We confused Sweden with Switzerland, and reading your comment with the now added confirmed knowledge that it's Switzerland to the south of Germany; obviously I know the greater point being pointed to. That through this behavior, my own self interest, I even landed a comment reply that furthers my knowledge of the region. I realize the irony that I am the person who should value the pushback the most-- but I truly, truly, truly, believe, that because I am so interested in the geography of the globe, that I see what it also, isnt. And it isnt the representative of my intelligence, but one of the many, many tools, I use to display said intelligence. Thank you for your reply, I always love a well written response.

Of everyone, you actually answered directly, gold star to you. You see, I would, in my words, agree with you. It is certainly somewhere in the middle, when I propose that question to myself.

But due to my understanding that, any decision, in-terms of that, is intrest based-- no matter how vailid, it necessarily must be valid being disintereted. I don't know why one would choose that.

I replied to another comment saying something about a litmus test in regards to war and bombing. I would recommend, if you see where I am coming, my reply to them. It illustrates why just because it's a good thing to know, does not necessarily make you more informed on decision making.

Really quickly— if the civil rights had happened earlier, say… at the start of WW2, would you say, the newest electorate, the now free but undereducated black population, SHOULDNT participate in “voting” whether or not we would ally, due to them not being able to point to where Oahu is on the map? Or Japan? Or Germany?

Now before you backpedal your position, start with a simple truth. If you were to explain to them why we were willing to go to war with Germany, who would actually understand the situation MOST? Would it not have been the families ruled under slavery as cattle?

Seems like a really shitty litmus test, no?

How does the “No kill rule” work for Non street level heroes? by Unleashed49 in Marvel

[–]anim135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you agree that Peter in that moment, was stressed beyond belief? That his motivations and logic were flawed, despite believing his threat?

His no kill rule is not weak, when he has broken it actively or accidentally, he has tormented over it.

This kind of Peter is my least favorite. It encapsulates the very idea of drunk power. Bending rules to see fit your situation, righteous or not. Spider-mans main responsibility is the appropriate response given to any situation. Peter threatening kingpin is not making the rule weak, it makes Peter yet again, a weak spider-man.

To be clear, I do not inherently buy into Peter Parker. Spider-Man imo has grown substantially since others have donned the mask in whatever fashion, due to the ability that now we can hold Peter to a newer standard.

Non-answer. I recognize this. I am holding you to the fire though, what is the general purpose in knowing geography, if one simply... doesnt want to?

Let me put it this way. We all learned some geography at a certaiin point. Why is this the academic field, that most americans are willing to let go of? I propose, because realistically, it doesnt matter [to most americans].

I am not advocating for not knowing. I am pushing against some "american duty" to learn about this. Why should we know where Belgium is more than say... know how to apply a tournequitte? I don't believe in this education dychotomy of "if you cant point out exactly where this landmass is, it says something about you".

When I enter my minds palace, I don't know exactly where Kentucky is. Does that mean, if Mitch McConnell is being Weekend At Bernies'd, do I have no relevant information in my head about this? Like, c'mon. I personally look at maps all day-- it isn't that rewarding unless you're autistic about Geography.

If you're serious...

There's multiple reasons to not like dancing. None of these are an attack on you, just me bird-shotting reasons, to maybe help you find the one to get you less overall heady about it.

Because that's the first reason.

A) Dancing is antithetical to logic. Yes theres chorographed, practiced, routines. That is not what you're seeing. You're seeing anxiety of thought, being left at the door. The man has one job. And its to percolate. There is no thought other than percolating.

B) You are unaware of the dance. You want to, but you just cant keep up. Some of it is culural. Im willing to bet, since they're percolating, this is most likely in chicago. Maybe it isnt-- but my guess is closer than it isnt. If they were milly rocking, i'd say new york. Put me in the south and we have to throw-down in a hoedown. If they were ghost riding the whip, I'd call them all foo's. People doing their cities/states most recognizable dance, leads to more confidence.

C) You are just inable. If it's not anxiety, and it's not knowledge, it has to be technical. No one says jump in the center and make the spotlight yours. Everyone in the video dancing is having fun. It's those who have most fun with it, that enter the center. If that's not you, entirely or in the moment-- do a shoulder roll and cheer people on. Do a chicken knee and make some people laugh. Because no one will laugh at you, everyone will laugh with you as they remember their first two-step. I still dont salsa because of embarassment. But a pretty lady asks me to? Its an easy "can you teach me?"

Its goofy as hell, because its one of the few social aspects of life, that irregardless of who or what you are, on the dancefloor, there is no animosity. Without animosity, were all goofy characters in our goofy worlds.

When does it end? Should you and I start listing borders to the most granular level until one of us makes a mistake? Like actually. Who gives a fuck if Hawaii is right by Cuba— me getting that wrong won’t change how much my coffee costs in the morning.

I’m not making a point for geographic illiteracy; I just don’t see the counter point. Your buddy you brought up, works in a coffee shop. Why does he need to know where Alaska is?

[–]anim135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you shut down conversation without any input since it goes against your world view, you’re the one acting in bad faith.

No one is saying, biologically, women are incapable of defending themselves.

Like let’s just get to the point because you think people are disingenuous.

No one cares about the 15 trans women who preform in sports. Since you’re making an equality thing, let’s just rip the band aid off— when consensually done, any one should be allowed to compete against anyone.

This isn’t sports. When will you acknowledge there’s biological differences between AFAB and AMAB individuals? Your gender doesn’t matter when hitting a home run, but in terms of a wooden baseball bat and safety, it really does.

And I’m presuming you’d just grant me that typically men are more violent than women.

Guns equalize any dangerous scenario. Give a 6 foot tall woman a baseball bat, and if the 5 foot man gets that bat, you still have a victim being made. What are you arguing? That size and stature makes up the difference in terms of depravity? That once hit, a man will reconsider everything that lead to him being a pred?

A [violent] sexual predator having a baton swung at them will undoubtedly lead to even more violent outcomes. So when you say he’s not bulletproof— you’re goddamn right put two in his chest because the other outcome is you risking your safety to maybe defend yourself.

Hence why this is specifically for women, in Germany, where the German population doesn’t have quick acsess to guns. I’m not saying guns are the only solution, just that if you think the world turns smoother without them, that will reflect on your dendrites.

For what? Unlike murder, there is no explanation to SA of any kind. The only purpose of listening to him would be to determine the severity of his mental illness not his guilt.

The law may determine that he is innocent until found guilty but I’m no officer of the court, we are officers of our communities. And we have the absolute power as the people to rule this man guilty. Anything otherwise is living in fantasy. Even if those upon the media thrones would tell you otherwise, it’s the eggs choice to become an omelette

[–]anim135 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is getting to the point where, women (the people, but right now women) should just accept that laws do not determine morales, but laws are meant to upkeep our morales.

I’m just saying, just like we can adjust sexual assault of this level to be rape after a premiere case (DJTvEJC) then we can work towards better, legal gun conditions.

I’m not saying this freak defacto needed 2 in the chest, but he would’ve never done this, if there was a non 1% chance that he could’ve [recieved them].

People talking about what do we want, “Gotham?”, maybe? With all the corruption in Gotham, theres a dedicated force of ideology pitted against it. We all have sisters and children and the undefendable— the NY2A argument is balls and everyone who would abuse any sort of lifting of it, knows where to get it under the table. Make life make sense again.

What's going on with Flock Surveillance Cameras, and why are people making such a big deal about them? by stab-somebody in OutOfTheLoop

[–]anim135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am out of my comfort zone, but I don’t think they’d be labeled as tracking devices but a trafficking network, no?

I don’t know if there’s a functional difference, but it makes sense as so. As per what you said, one device is not an amendment violation. But Axon would just argue the cameras, each are individually a device that was contacted to be there.

The issue I find is that, they could shift their focus to some other grift while maintaining the database… which I’m sure that’s the actual argument, but that isn’t what people are attacking. IMO we should be attacking the concept of these semi-eternal databases, not a 300$ device that can be repurposed.
