In Defense of Pwnage

I should also have mentioned that, for similar reasons, pwnage is pragmatic if one is concerned with truth in, and of, itself. Which I am.

Spawk your computer is back!

[spawktalk]

@IndividualAutonomy Yea, it took hours.

BTW unmod reg so I can kick him out.

You're advocating what sounds like a kind of Intellectual Machiavellianism, if such a thing exists.  Your reasons "why" are that such discourages bad ideas, *but* you can only expect to do this on the basis of, "because you will be teased," and this is done instead of teaching the value of independent reasoning. It would be short sighted to assume that value of reason would be implied with what you are saying, since all that you are saying merely amounts to a Skinnerian fear tactic. (continued)

@jericomovie And "pwn" him he is not going to suddenly drop statism. He will do one of two things, either ignore what i have siad, or do some research themselves. Ive been debating online for a number of years, and I know for a fact taht there are people this has worked on. Infact, in my experience it has been much more effective than "polite discussion" .

[spawktalk]

@jericomovie And , again the idea is not to punish disagreement. People who dont hold the position of the person being pwned wont be changed, they already thought what was being siad was wrong. However, such is not the case for the people watching who do agree with him, The chances of them having their mind changed because they saw someone with the same view being made a fool of is slim

[spawktalk]

@jericomovie However, there is a decent chance that they be more inclined to research said position.

I enjoy your robust conception of pwnage.

I need to say that I am glad you did this video, because I felt some uncool uneasiness while watching some parts of some of your prior videos, and this is the sign of a much more agreeable and mature person (in my eyes). I am glad you have a plan and the aggressive nature of some videos is being subjected to rational/conscious considerations. Props for the video.

[fairiebee]

@theradioschizo He does. Intellectual pwnage = priceless. The only downside, that sadness of knowing that the limited knowledge and competence of the person being pwned prevents them from even knowing the extent to which they have been pwned. Oh the humanity.

[theradioschizo]

I like pwnage when done well. You are one who does it well. I know I rewatch a lot of your videos simply because they make me laugh (like that guy who said the middle class was disappearing and the classes were molding into the proletariat and burgeosie. LOL)

Keep up the good work, Spawk.

@organdva

ok, well you have fun with that.

[organdva]

@oiuoiu988 I don't need any permission from you what so ever. You can define words as you please and ignore their historical use but you shouldn't be surprised when people don't take you seriously.

I know what you advocate. You think we are playing tricks here? - rhetoricalQ. Anarchists don't accept any hierarchy no matter where! School, home, relationships, churches... in every place and especially in businesses! That is more than clear. Being masochist is acceptable if you like that.

[oiuoiu988]

@organdva

lolol ok, so i'll give you the words capitalism and anarchy and you can play whatever games you want with them, you can polish them before bedtime or kiss them goodnight, have your way with them, i dont care. this doesnt change the fact that i am advocating the voluntary exchange of goods and services... do you have an argument now? wage labor is still voluntary. now are you gonna say that not letting people steal from you means youre limiting their freedom? whatta ya got?

[organdva]

@oiuoiu988 Capitalism is far from ''voluntary'' when it has complete monopoly on meaning of ''property rights'' - that is supported by the ruling minority and you losers wannabe capitalists.

If you ignore history( just like your ilk often do) you end up in creating mythology of the origins and the reality of capitalism. You are one step(if that) from creationism.

[oiuoiu988]

@organdva

lol, ok you sound like a 12 year old now. go read something from the last 100 years. capitalism is about voluntary exchange of goods and services, labor is a service that can be exchanged. capitalism has nothing to do with ordering people around.

[organdva]

@oiuoiu988 You don't order people around(and you want to) so still, you are wannabe capitalist.

@LudditeRomantic

oh youre so smart... its not like i agree with cali9ula on everything man so try again.

[LudditeRomantic]

@oiuoiu988

Well, conversation ended as you have revealed yourself an unthinking stupid little cali9ula the clown junkie; if you could get off cali9ula's penis for a couple of minutes, you might look around the world and learn a thing or two...
