Censorship

I just want the staff to know that I view moving my threads to the hidden privatized member part of the website seperate from the rest of public viewing to be a form of censorship.

Why is this being done?

Is separating material to be recycled from material headed for landfill censorship of the latter?

Huh?

what are you talking about…
what has happened to you…
are you scared…

Scared? :laughing: :sunglasses: What sort of stupid question is that?

My confession thread has been moved to the rant section due to it’s explicit content which is unsafe apparently for public consumption according to the moderators here.

do you believe in moderation for ilp…

Apparently it doesn’t matter what I believe…

would you please answer my question…

And your confession thread is metaphorical landfill, rather than metaphorically suitable for recycling. You get metaphor, right? - it is not being censored, just sorted appropriately. You have to admit, the stuff you come up with is hardly philosophically cutting edge - it’s consistently self-oriented blog material with little philosophical value. This site isn’t here to discuss you, though you wouldn’t know it from the amount you fill up threads such as “If you’re listening to music right now…”… It’s here to metaphorically “recycle” (exchange) philosophical insights.

I do wish you would get your act together. The issues you are interested in such socio-political reform/revolution need your support, not your vulgar self-interested “joking” scathing bitterness toward how the world has forsaken you (or was it you who forsook it?), which serves only to afford you personal expression rather than resulting in steps being taken toward actually doing something about it. You could actually help do something if you weren’t so obsessed with your “lone wolf”, “chaotic” persona. Complaining is hardly chaotic - if anything it is particularly orderly. Complaining can be heard amongst all orderly citizens who are too afraid to do anything more than internalise their anger instead of using it toward something constructive and active.

I know you said you cannot fully agree with any active institution out there, but this is why I request you get your act together. Unless self-destruction is enough for you?

First of all, alot of the non-philosophical threads I usually end up creating in the mundane section. It’s the mundane section where there is no reason to move threads from within it to somewhere else.

So what?

It’s the mundane section. It’s not meant to be philosophical.

No? That isn’t the reason for having general social discussion sections of this website?

I can’t talk about myself?

There is nothing that can be done for the world. Those in power rape the global population every historical generation.

Revolutional movements of both past and present are so terribly weak that they constantly allow themselves to be infiltrated by the very people that they claim to be fighting against.

Yes in the most general way I have forsaked the world but make no mistake that it did so to me first a long time ago.

Like what? I can barely help myself at the moment.

Yeah I criticize the world around me and I often enough mock or defy it. Why?

Because it is all I or anybody else can do. The establishment will allow nothing else.

My hands are tied where I am blind folded and gagged just like everybody else in society. In the end the status quo always succeeds whether you despise or support it.

At best one can only hope to get away with a little bit of the occasional criminal mischief if their able to as a form of rebellion.

There is no workable institution out there. Where does such a one exist?

Of course if your rich or affluential there are variety of workable institutions that you would benefit from but with everybody else there is only the damnation of social slavery and servitude.

my question is still there for you joker…

I would rather there to be less moderation but I’m not the one in charge.

i got sent to the rant house awhile back and it pissed me off…but i am still for moderation and these guys are not perfect like most people…

Do you have any children?
Let’s say a child of about 12 is able to read some of your rantings. You do have to admit that some of them are rantings of a sort of volatile nature and highly suggestive enuendoes. Well, of course, you do not ‘have’ to admit this to yourself if you simply can’t but…have you ever stopped to consider the ramifications of some of what you write? Whether you are agnostic, amoral - do not see any kind of a moral world or could care less about contributing to one (I don’t know, I’m just saying) - you are a thinking individual. Do you stop to think of cause and effect as influenced by you - I mean in terms of what others might see as negative and extremely harmful?

This child might be an extremely lonely and angry one, and highly given to impressions and conditioning. One who might be called an outsider, a loser, by his cruel peers - a loner and not by choice. You do know the way children can be, I’m sure.

Some children are outsiders and loners by choice because they realize that their solitude is more wonderful than the company that they might keep.

And one is almost ready to act on impulse on his anger, pain and hatred for society. We all have seen and heard of countless examples of where ‘adults’ have done it! Just as a hypothetical, of course, what if reading something which you wrote in here sent that child over the edge? And it could be proven that it did? How would that actually make you feel? Would you feel any sense of responsibility for it or simply think that it is society’s fault (don’t forget-you too are society). Do you really think that freedom of speech ought to be exercised without some kind of responsibility, especially towards children? Do you think that freedom of speech gives anyone and everyone the right to say anything and everything detrimental, just because of the way they are feeling and thinking and because they need some kind of a release/catharsis - when doing so can cause great physical and mental harm to others, especially to children?!

Spare me your ridiculous moralities Arcturus.

People like you want only one type of worldview that is seen where you wish to hide everything else away in lock and key to never be spoke about again.

People here don’t like my writings because I expose the world for it is and the type of people that exists within it.

I take everybody’s wishful point of worldview to where I lite it on fire and that’s the real reason why people don’t like what I have to say.

So they’re moving your threads from mundane to rant? I suppose that is rather arbitrary since they are both in the social section of the forum. Where “ought” one post a mundane rant? Lol. Sticking to either of these sections should be fine I suppose - and you do openly express a primary interest in social discussion over philosophical. I wonder why you come to a philosophy forum?

You sound like somebody with the learned helplessness of a depressive. You remind me of turtle, though with your loathing and despair turned outward rather than inward.

I can only say that you may or may not eventually be witness to concrete examples of your worldview being challenged. If you never see this or fail to recognise it then this is simply unfortunte, but not evidence of its non-existence. Until then you only have the abstract comforts of logic, such as the problem of induction and the reliance of the negative on the positive, in order to be relatively identified etc.

I’m working on it.

Do you prefer the resignation of indefinitely giving up to the extreme difficulty in attempting to do the same as I?

Your working on it? Hooray! Were all saved now! :unamused:

I’m not going to reply to the rest of this thread because I will not be mocked or made the fool out of.

Yeah I bet you would like me to turn to self loathing and a feeling of inward guilt for somthing of which is out of my control.

That’s the typical strategy of institutions these days in their tyranny over individuals.

I won’t fall for any of that though.

Sil - I’ll tell you the difference. Rant is not viewable by those not logged in.

So let’s pretend we’re a first time visitor, with an interest in philosophy, shopping around for a home to discuss philosophy and related topics.

Let’s say the first thing you see is someone’s masturbatory fantasies in narrative form.

Need I go on?

So in the end your just concenred about public consumption worried about scaring people where people need to swoop into threads when it concerns protecting the eyes of children.

Whatever…

None of what I wrote has anything to do with morality at least not from my point of view.
And you’re wrong. I am not interested in only one type of worldview…I am interested in many…though I might not necessarily condone all of them. I don’t want them hidden away in lock and key.
Isn’t it a bit hypocritcal of you to “lite everybody’s else ‘wishful’ point of view on fire” and not to at least expecta little spark to be given to yours/
But don’t you think that we must have some sense of responsibility about what we write - especially when it comes to impressionable children? Or don’t you - at all?
If the answer to that question is a NO, then I wonder how much you perhaps base what you write on narcissistic leanings and a need for a catharsis.
What I wrote was simply in response to your questioning why what you wrote was sent to Rant.

I actually get quite a kick out of most of your writings. To some adults, they might be a breath of fresh air BUT… It isn’t about that - I am just referring to what kind of sense of responsibility you have towards impressionable, young children who might be in trouble and might be ‘pushed over the edge’ because of them.

“The type of people who exist in it”…Now tell me, joker…what type are you insofar as any sense of responsibility toward children goes? I’m not assuming…I’m just asking. This is what your censorship is about, I think.
