Okay, I will start.
I have been banned from 4Chan for about six years now.

In the political sections of the forum there all you have to is post anti-capitalist material constantly and you’ll essentially be shadow banned by the moderators that will then delete everything you post.

It’s not a kind world today being a socialist economic leftist with conservative cultural views.
The modern political liberal left hates you and the modern political conservative right hates you as well. Basically everyone hates you with political views like mine.
Although I am use to being hated by everybody, so there’s that. I just keep chugging along taking everything in strides.

Ah, come on, there is a part of you that likes the provocation of your positions. I’m not saying that’s why you have them, but I think you kinda like it…also. It’s the one consistant aspect of your positions over time.
And then, yes, if you don’t go with one of the two political positions that are supposed to be the only two rational, moral positions (even though they hate each other), you are supposedly bad, irrational, crazy, toxic…etc.

I like a little bit of provocation, yes.
Some people need it in this world and there’s just no way to get through to them any other way. I am reminded of Zen Masters utilizing almost sarcastic provoking aphorisms to their students in mental confrontation trying to get them through mental breakthroughs on the path to the enlightenment. It sometimes becomes necessary to employ that.
I mean as long as the arguments are good, whats wrong with it?
Its only when you get shit posters that ignore your arguments are either just bad faith arguing our outright tossing ad hominems and nothing more. Thats when conversation becomes pointless.
What is there to hate about a true clash of opinions? If anything it gives you an opportunity to inspect your own stance and arguments from different angles.

Which is obviously fine, not that you need my approval. It’s one of the things I like about you. Not safe little boxes. Trying to figure it out yourself. Willing to change if it seems right to you.
If there’s a Parliament, I want that Communist Buddhist on it.

Laos is Buddhist and communist both. Vietnam, North Korea, and China also.
I suppose that I like Asian societies a lot because I see our own western societies severely lacking by comparison. Of course anyone who knows me also knows of my disdain for Abrahamism.
There’s a lot that the west can learn from the east.
North Korea has a cult of personality and is an atheist state. There are some Buddhist but they are monitored and state controlled. And I can’t imagine you consider North Korean communism your communism. In fact, they removed communism from their Constitution. China is not communist. It is authoritarian capitalism. One party that calls itself a communist party, but they have much private enterprise and megacorporations. Economically they aren’t communist.

Here you can read about China’s luxury malls:
Laos is Buddhist but it’s a sort of socialist/capitalist mix, economically. Too much weight is given to evaluating countries by their having a ruling one party that is supposedly communist.
Vietnam is the same. It is the most equal of these countries, but they all have widening gaps between rich and poor. And that they have rich and poor right there they lose being communist, whatever their parties like to call themselves.

That is an interesting statement considering that buddhism is a non theistic religion much like tao is.
I wonder what excuse a communist state would come up with against religions which are pretty much just a branch of philosophy and are technically atheistic in nature.
But then again, we all know its just about a consolidation of power, and not about atheism vs religion.

I like spiders, they get rid of annoying flies or mosquitoes.
Although my basement has too many Black Widows, don’t like the poisonous ones all that much. I wanted to get pet tarantulas but the wife won’t allow me get any inside the house.
