Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You’re stuck in a constant state of becoming something, not being something, which is a necessary consequence of having your human awareness.

Yeah well he is in a constant state of becoming an even bigger asshole.

It's sounds like a beautiful philosophy you have. But it's just not applicable to how the world looks like.

And no. I would not use the same argument for fucking nazi concentration camps. Which is a really dumb strawman but you know what. Just for you.

They were not constructed to punish and reform. They were constructed to murder people. People whose only crime was not being "German".

You think they're similar in any way to a South Korean prison? If not, why even being it up?
