What is "Black Lives Matter"?

[jamil]

Interesting how this thread has Energizer Bunny power and the OP achieved 'shooter' status for some reason almost 2 months ago.

Yeah. The 50 post runners come across this thread from time to time and revive it. And then Kut says something wrong on the internet. And then that jamil douchebag can't let it go. And then Kut and jamil argue back and forth about semantics. And other people chime in with their two cents. I think we should just blame the whole thing on runners.

And just like that...it's all over, before it even really began.

Yet we few that briefly experienced it are richer for the memory.

I think we just experienced a microcosm of the Libertarian existence.

There is no existence in any political party. Existence demands a philosophy, nothing more.

The fullest expression of existence might entail something more: connectedness with other individuals in a community (i.e. society), but little else.

That's the wonder of human existence. We have minds which can contemplate "existence" abstractly.

I am a pragmatic individualist. Which makes me open to joining with other individualists, even if they are less individualist than me, to achieve a goal. Idealist individualists are content to never achieve anything while lauding and admiring their own individual pureness.

I'm open to a variety of voluntary associations and interactions with individuals ...and I change the world on a whim.

I don't know what you'd call that, but I just call it me.

I saw some slaves just the other day. They were happy. I think they seemed better off.

Wait..... it's not the police causing institutional racism is it? I have some bad news..... again.........

See, this is why "Individuals Matter" simply won't suffice; it always ends up as just another club with a group identity.

I'm abandoning the club (nothing personal, guys, I still like you) and "The Individual Matters" shall be my article of faith.

The individual matters only when in communion with the group!

The individual matters only when in communion with the group!

That would suggest that an individual can't change a group back into individuals.

I would suggest that I have shown otherwise.

Shall we continue? I want to play a game.

Imagine that......

Imagine that......

The mind is a terrible thing to taste.

 

[rugertoter]

Is it a movement? Is it an organization?

I saw the topic come up in another thread on the murders in Dallas.

The linked article from January of 16 gives some insight as to what "Black Lives Matter" really is and what is behind it.

Reds Exploiting Blacks: The Roots of Black Lives Matter

I thought it may be worth sharing here so people know and are aware.

Best regards.

It's an excuse to misbehave.

The group IS individuals, who only imagine they are one.

Waste is a terrible thing to mind.

True, and I can make the illusion vanish ...if I can keep them engaged.

Waste is a terrible thing to mind.

I don't mind wasting myself, if only they'd taste and see.

Play my game, guys. Just start at post #1031 if you want to skip all the voluntary drama and gritty interactions of the first couple seasons.

Season 3 promises to be both interesting and fun. You'll love it!

Play ATM's game or play Kut's game. Choose your poison.

Play ATM's game or play Kut's game. Choose your poison.

My poison is a mix of almost entirely bleach with just a tiny bit of kool-aid for coloring and flavor.

What's Kut offering?

 

[jamil]

So I went to that thread and caught up. All I saw were memes claiming to be some dude named Rick and calling people *****es. And the memes didn't block out "*****", which I thought was against the rules.

You actually caught up with the whole thread or just took the new on ramp recently suggested and stopped right there?

...also, I'm Larry now.





You're all Rick.

Certainly not hemlock.
