I dont post much give me some slack

lmao you're really still THIS stupid? after 5 years bro you're still like this?

I'll keep it nice n simple.

- You're the biggest joke, so thanks for this
- Aren't you fucking Armenian? So "Fuck you, I got mine" it is then for healthcare.
- You got any examples of 'remote criticism of pride month'? Genuine.
- Youtube is a piece of shit, and it isn't your soapbox
- Trump has likely not been around enough to generate you 2 jobs, unless you're a contractor building the wall and a nuclear engineer in Saudi Arabia. If anything, he's done fuckall on changing America's course in policy and you were going to be a slave to 2 jobs getting slightly better pay so you would ignore the lack of having 1 well paying job in the first place...
- Hateraid fucking rofl
- Falling for the violent video games bait. No shit, it isn't games, clued-in politicians are using it as a scapegoat to sidestep the US's massive guns problem.
- You flipflop from "if we don't love enough we'll have a second civil war" to "I need guns for the upcoming apocalypse". Alright Doomer.
- You're right about "it" being fucked within the next decade, but for entirely the opposite reasons.
- Jesus Christ you over-dramatic vitamin-deficienct dumbfuck, America is far from NK or the Soviet Union where they actually removed people. You've got other problems but you drank the koolaid.
- Gays don't just have pride month mate, it's for lesbians and trans and all them too. If you're still struggling, think of it as Independence Day, but for people who are born some way rather than from somewhere. You celebrate liberation from a tyrannical force, gays celebrate not being lynched or oppressed as much as 50 years ago. Who'da thought?

And fucking hell do you have to use so many empty idioms and cliched phrases, it reads like a paranoid depressed footballer's interview.

Youtube is a piece of shit, and it isn't your soapbox

muh private platform.

Look fam, sorry but, you're completely politically ignorant.

And that's coming from a guy who traditionally isn't considered the best informed by our fucking assembly of EU lawyers and whatnots

The worst part is just the attitude he has going into this.

"I'm not here to argue or debate. Save your rebuttals. At this point, facts don't mean much. It doesn't matter if what I say is entirely false, I don't care about your responses. Don't bother refuting or correcting anything because I just don't give a shit about what's accurate or correct. My feelings matter more than the truth and I would rather knowingly repeat things proven to be false than to learn and grow as a person."

I really don't understand how you got to this point Deci but it's really problematic and doesn't make much sense.

at that point, why even make a thread, he's obviously not here to discuss his beliefs, this is a political board not a political blog

tbf this soapbox-y attitude is how everybody behaves on social media, youtube, etc.

Venting is cathartic.

it's catharsis devoid of meaning, a hollow feeling that will only need to revamped once he realizes that his moment of self-actualization was inepiphanous. Then he'll just make another thread and the cycle will continue at the reader's expense.

I think you're selling catharsis short. It can be the difference between someone managing to cope with their emotions or snapping and doing real harm. It's not supposed to be about coming to a realization of anything, it's just a release of tension.

Better to have someone ranting than hurting someone else or themselves.

Fair enough, but that's assuming that this actually led to any sort of relief. It's just as likely that someone posting a rant like this walks away feeling even more vindicated in their intolerance, more hostile towards "the other" (in this case, the fabled far leftist SJW PC libtard NPC soy cucks), and more angered by how everyone else is too stupid/brainwashed/incapable of coming to terms with "the truth" (in their eyes) that they just dropped. Venting can definitely help in some cases but I'm far from convinced that a rage fueled rant about how the other side is so fucking disgusting and vile that you fucking fear getting thrown in jail for saying the wrong fucking thing because stupid NPCs and leftists are gearing up for another fucking civil war is something that calms you down and makes you feel less aggressive towards those who disagree.

Besides, whether or not you resort to physical violence is a pretty extreme standard for this being a good thing. Rant away if it makes you feel better, but if you decide not to listen to people who shed light on clear misunderstandings and mistakes you're making, then the only thing you get out of it is feeling more entrenched in your beliefs and intolerance. Better than violence, sure, but obviously pretty shitty either way.

I'm not saying his rant was effective for him in any way. I'm just saying that there's a reason people do things like this. Solonoid seemed to think it was entirely pointless.

Also, when I say it's a release of tension, I don't mean that it makes you hate your perceived enemy any less. Punching someone in the face can be cathartic, and it's pretty much the opposite of trying to hate someone less.

Ranting about people you hate isn't an absolute guarantee that a person won't resort to violence, but I'm definitely a believer that if people don't express the way they feel, even though it may be hateful, then violence will be a more common consequence.

I hold a very low opinion of catharsis.

Well that's pretty clear.

Still, it's a valid point for people to rant nonetheless.

I don't think the purpose of catharsis for most people is to have any sort of realization of anything, it's just a short-term relief of the rage built up within them. It, more often than not, seems to me to be a more selfish, self-serving act just to make a person feel better.

When I said I think you're selling catharsis short, I don't mean that it's more positive than you're making it out to be, I'm saying it has more utility than you seem to suggest in your first post about it.

Although, catharsis can come in a positive form.
