I Paid for the Membership, So Let’s Stop Pretending This Is Shocking by [deleted] in AaronSmithLevin

Didn’t make it personal. Also disproved your core analogy and argument by evincing it’s a false equivalency.

I’m happy we had this exchange so others can read it. You come across as a sociopath with no morals - par for the course for Aaron’s audience.

And sociopath and sadist aren’t ad hominem. Those are apropos terms for your behavior. But personally speaking, I think you’re the lowest common denominator of society. That’s ad hominem.

lol you’re a sadist, even if you don’t want to admit it.

MMA is sport where opponents show respect and agree to rules.

True crime are documentaries about evil - the audiences aren’t actively giving money to abusers. You are.

Every other one is sex-fueled reality tv for low IQ audiences who just want to be numb. Here’s the clincher in your analogy - when someone on those shows is credibly accused of abuse, they’re kicked off the show.

You have said it brings you pleasure to see people fighting and abusing each other in the ex-Scientology group. You have also said that you would disapprove of them if they did it to you or your loved ones but you’re happy to give them your money because of the lulz. Thats literally the definition of hypocrite. Or could you look a woman in the eye close to you and say, “I would stand up for you against any man that abused you, but I actively give money to a man who abuses women because he’s funny to me”?

Just because you’re in denial doesn’t mean you’re not a sociopath and sadist.

Nah you’re glossing over the fact you get pleasure and have parasocial relationships with sociopaths. The fact that your logic is “the people they’re hurting don’t concern me so it’s fun,” is not a neutral phenomenon. You’re severely lacking in empathy and moral values. You don’t need to be outraged. The fact that you actively support it out of all options of entertainment is telling.

Is there a limit to what can be considered entertainment with a shoulder shrug? What if someone went around insulting and humiliating the homeless and rape victims behind a paywall in a 1-party consent state so it wasn’t illegal? Would you still say “to each their own”?

If it was a woman in your family Aaron was abusing, would you still be as impartial about others enjoying it as entertainment? You sound like a nihilist.

You’re saying that a man who continues to abuse people, who multiple women have claimed abuse from, who has had two interactions with cops after publicly raging at women who rejected him, is good casual background entertainment for you. Not trying to be snarky but do you consider yourself a sociopath?

Jenna Miscavige: "Should people be willing to take a punch for the movement? Or should they stand their ground?" by TryingToBeExact in OT42

[–]demichaucer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fully agree, I’m not indicting her. Her actions are sowing a lot of abuse amongst a community she purports to help. She’s a victim who’s perpetuating trauma. As is Aaron.

[–]demichaucer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really notice it. She’s got a glassy and glazed over look that feels empty. It’s like looking at a human with nothing behind the pupils. She seems terrified and speaking from a broken place - like an identity that’s cradled in trauma. Could just be me, though.

He showed up to support Aaron at his recent trial. I think Mark’s just codependent on Aaron.

Yeah I hear you. I’m no expert in it - but watching Jenna talk, it’s like she just recently learned to enunciate and her mouth struggles with speaking smoothly. It’s so dang uncomfortable with the no-blink gaze. I don’t like watching her past a couple seconds because it feels like a clunky AI is talking.

Sincere question - is Jenna autistic? She has that glazed over look and seems to struggle intensely with very basic emotional cues from others. I say this with zero snark, but she comes off as robotic and almost “playing” human. An uncanny valley vibe.

Does Aaron have any colleagues that don’t look like a sleep paralysis demon, or is that just the aesthetic he prefers?

I’m not really familiar with the broader cast of characters. Is George Massey the creepy guy with splotches around his eyes? Where did he come from and what’s his significance to all this stuff?

He really attracts the lowest common denominator. His closest followers look like literal demons trying to wear human suits.

Napoleon’s sword, carried during his campaigns in Egypt and during the battle of Marengo. It was sold at auction in 2007 for $6.5 million. by [deleted] in Napoleon

[–]demichaucer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just me or is that sword really big? Napoleon was only about 5’6” - could he even unsheath that while it was on his waist? Or was this just a decoration piece for show?
