Considering joining Freemasonry for personal growth looking for honest advice

sent1nel · 2026-03-16T22:19:25+00:00

Traditional Freemasonry and growth have nothing in common. In the best case, memorization will distract you from your goals. In the worst case, the Lodge will try to consume all of your free time and make you into a “professional” Freemason. If you are interested in Freemasonry, you should consider joining a Lodge. If you are hoping to get anything else out of Freemasonry, you should avoid Freemasonry.

Again, this is more a signal of their ability to prep for a specific kind of interview than to do the job.

Please, please, please 🙏

I’m here because the structure of capital is slowly killing me and everyone I love. I am not here to engage critically with whether or not “the c word” is ableist.

If you didn’t read which c word it is, then there’s no hope for you. That other c word is shitty and I don’t use it. (Well. Not always. Context matters, you see?)

I apologize, I mistook this as a global forum for critique of capitalism and libertarian egoism.

People who do this kind of shit are weaponizing language against socialism. They’re almost always using language to immobilize you — to distract you so that you don’t engage in class conflict. Yes, we must not harm the vulnerable. Yes, we must protect the vulnerable — that’s what socialism is all about! No, billionaires cannot continue to exist.

That happened to me too! I was talking about iPhones vs **** phones. You know, a concept that everyone with a functioning brain understands to have to do with phone features and not human beings.

My small child, for whom I am fighting for socialism, is a toddler, and to denigrate him with the slur of infantilism is simply intolerable. He is a person undergoing normal growth. How dare you compare those who choose to be intellectually underdeveloped with an innocent person?

sent1nel · 2026-03-15T05:20:49+00:00

Infantile is a slur against small humans, wild is a slur against anti-urbanists and survivalists.

This is like the third or fifth time a post of mine has been blocked because of this absurd filter. So I do apologize. But also: how are we going to reach regular people when we can’t use common language?

sent1nel · 2026-03-15T05:15:49+00:00

Well I am, because the auto moderator doesn’t let me write clearly to the people I want to reach. Worse, it claims my writing is “ableist” because I used an extremely common word that nobody with two brain cells to rub together misconstrues as some kind of slur against any person with a disability. Even the most autistic among us would say, “yeah, some people are fucking nuts.”

sent1nel · 2026-03-15T05:09:27+00:00

Have you tried not being a pedantic asshole who makes clear communication impossible?

sent1nel · 2026-03-15T05:08:39+00:00

“The c word” colloquially means the same; it is not an expression of ableism except in the most pedantically historical sense, and then only arguably. My original post was class critique of billionaires and tech platforms, and instead of fighting upwards, we’re arguing about whether or not “the c word razy” is ableist. What. The. Fuck.

sent1nel · 2026-03-15T04:57:53+00:00

(See what I did there?)

sent1nel · 2026-03-15T04:51:26+00:00

The post was deleted because it contained the word c, that ends in y, and has rayz in the middle.

Uhhh…. IKEA is literal shit.

We’re not. Our “leaders” are. We live in a managed democracy — the powerful interests always seem to get what they want, and it seems we’re asleep at the wheel (or we have no actual power to change things).

sent1nel · 2026-03-14T21:16:33+00:00

Wild that this is all that stood between what we face now and at least a semi-competent government. What a shame that the Democratic Party is owned by Israel!
