Everytime you insult someone, everyone should understand that you are really talking about yourself. That's why you go around peddling Kevin McDonald in the desperate hope that hating Jews will go mainstream. It probably will not and you will be stuck here insulting people because you utterly fail at persuasion.


Another tired attempt at inverting the reality here. Leon doesn't think for himself, it's quite simple and apparent. But don't talk about what you don't understand, Kuros. You have made statements that you refuse to read the CofC and now here you are again attempting to talk about it. What an overt display of ignorance. You are distinguished only by your own cowardliness.

Some people seem immune to persuasion. Unfortunately, the placticity of their mind has hardened into belief systems.They do not venture far from the paths beaten into them by their educators.
To communicate at all with this type of person, contradiction is sufficient. This, at least, avoids unintended agreement.
Qui tacet consentire videtur.


Surely you jest if you think views like the ones I hold are beaten into anybody by educators or are attained without being willing to venture as far as possible from the standards you're alluding to. You're describing something, but I don't think you truly understand what it is.

Leon can't think for himself, and there's nothing wrong with anyone happening to notice that. I've been saying it too. His thoughts have been passed down to him by the network of liars who are cheating Europeans out of their livelihoods and destroying their nations by selling out their industries/jobs and turning their homelands into free trade shopping zones. Fox dismantled Leon's argument several times over, but Leon just keeps trucking on because he doesn't want to learn. People like him don't seek truth, they avoid heresy. An ethnic nationalist like myself finds it particularly pathetic and disgusting to see how individuals like Leon, who apply an exaggerated air of depth to themselves, simply cannot evolve intellectually, learn from their argumentative failures, or realize how destructive the things they promote ultimately are. They aren't benevolent, their allegiance is to something else, something selfish, harmful, abstract, and empty. Real irony being that a Jew is often the most adept at illustrating these deficiencies in ourselves on here.


Why don't you post another meme, or link to the same book that everyone with your views link to, or repeat the same talking point about the Jews that you got from said book or blog, and come back to me about thinking for ourselves.

You have often mentioned me copying you, and you being confused by it. do you remember that one of the first things I told you was that you have an unearned sense of superiority?

I'm hearing echoes Swartz.


Or why don't you learn from it, Leon? I'm clearly not the only one who notices this aspect of your character. Like I said before, you aren't a serious thinker, just a mundane talker.


The lack of self awareness knows no end.

Indeed. But it's your own lack of self-awareness to learn from what the two most intelligent posters on here have now told you about yourself.

You lost, man. And you lost bad … again. Fox ran circles around you and was forced to point out several times what I have also been pointing out: that your opinions come pre-made. Refusing to take that criticism seriously, refusing to acknowledge that it's the reason your commentary so often falls flat, or simply evading it and retaliating because it's others who must lack self-awareness (of course!), it's still only you who loses from this juvenile behavior. But you're wasting other people's time in the process.

Ok ok, sure, enough with your opinion on who won internet exchanges and your amateur analysis of me. Back to the more important issue at hand. Did you really just call yourself one of the two most intelligent people here?

Little humor there, Leon. But now that I think about it, if categorized by the four regulars who seem to put the most labor or thought into their posts: the mentally unstable Kuros, eighth grade level Leon, Fox, and myself – it's hardly a stretch.

Ok, great. My original analysis has proven correct. Strong sense of unearned superiority. Gee, this is boring. I'm going to go back to ignoring you until you post something that you didn't get straight from the book or the usual suspects blogs that you read.

By the way, is your position on trade that the Jews control it and influence goys (like me!) to buy in, and the answer is ethnic/white nationalism (insert occidental observer blog post here)?

You're so one-dimensional. Go back to ignoring me? When have you ever ignored me? Our interactions are defined by your petty bickering and nipping at my heels, and your subsequent argumentative failures and general lack of coherence.

Your last sentence isn't necessarily incorrect, but your attempt at mockery only magnifies your own ignorance. I've given you a primer on the subject, and until you stop making excuses and sit down and read it, anything you attempt to say on the matter is meaningless.

Which goes back to the main point here. Being unwilling to learn when you weren't that bright to begin with is a disservice to those you wish to engage with. Face up to your intellectual deficiencies instead of trying to pawn them off on others.

I really need to go back over my Latin: when I read this, I confused tacere's meaning with that of tangere, and was confused about why you were suggesting, "He who touches is seen to consent." Perhaps if I had had Latin beaten into the paths of my mind in proud British tradition, my error would have been avoided.

Plenty of us have been persuaded on a number of things on this board. The atmosphere here, though, has become very bad.

All-encompassing worldviews reflect a beaten path. Predispositions for certain points of view are normal and healthy. As for most Western forms of education, except perhaps in the case of business or economics, in most cases they liberate more than they corrupt.

Why, because people like me are exposing your fake point of view for the nonsense it is and making you look like a fool in the process?

That's debatable. What's certain is that they indoctrinate. Of course, the indoctrinated are the least aware of this, so they either lash out emotionally when it caves in on them (you), or they reason around reality ad infinitum and build higher walls to cut themselves off from the cognitive dissonance (Leon).

PS, my apologies if I read Cosmic Hum's post incorrectly, which it seems I did.

Forum is simply worse now. Not everything is about you. The atmosphere is bad for a number of reasons. For example, for all your flaws, I doubt you actively wear a sock.

So it seems that some of the more prominent supporters of the leave campaign didn't plan on winning. I think the way this was presented to the people in the UK were scammed.

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/06/29/world/europe/boris-johnson-brexit-leaders-eu.html
. . .

In his regular column in The Daily Telegraph on Monday, Mr. Johnson tried to strike a prime ministerial tone of unity in the wake of the divisive referendum, but he emphasized continuity over change and tried to argue that immigration, clearly the primary motivation for many voters in taking a position against Europe, was somehow not a major issue.

“It is said that those who voted Leave were mainly driven by anxieties about immigration,” Mr. Johnson wrote. “I do not believe that is so.”

Suggesting that he wants to keep some kind of open flow of people across the border with Europe, Mr. Johnson wrote, “British people will still be able to go and work in the E.U.; to live; to travel; to study; to buy homes and to settle down.”


Boris Johnson is right, and his tone is responsible given the situation. A 51.8% result in favor of 'Leave' is the narrowest of mandates, particularly when you consider the returns from Scotland and Northern Ireland were strongly 'Remain.' At most, Boris Johnson has to invoke Article 50. Arguably, the returns in Scotland, and Scotland's threatened secession, mean he would not have to do that in the case where Scotland objects to invoking Article 50.


Funny how they got "responsible" with language after and not before the vote.


Well, Boris Johnson is irresponsible after all.
