...assume your enemy is the embodiment of pure primordial evil and possesses such power, subtlety, and wickedness that literally any expenditure of resources is justified to fight them.

bartlebyshop posted:There's a new Slate Star Codex up, about how On the Road is a book about awful people doing awful things and SSC dude did not like it. Good! But the best moment of all is this comment: So I guess that quote about LOTR and Atlas Shrugged isn't so true after all. John Rogers posted:There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Aurini calling himself Sargon of Akkad really illustrates the overcompensation that characterizes his identity. Here's this sad little man who has to pretend to smoke and drink in front of a camera to make people think he is a real man, while he complains about western women and the decline of masculinity. He tastefully arranges a toy skull in shots for christ's sake. Hundreds of little things like that. And his alias is a direct reference to one of the most tremendously powerful individuals of the ancient world, the man who built the first multi-ethnic empire in history? "Now, any king who wants to call himself my equal, wherever I went, let him go".

Well poo poo. Don't I look stupid. Still, quite presumptuous of the actual fellow if not as delightfully ironic.

So I hate to be the guy who always links the Aurini videos but His most recent one is where he addresses the criticisms about the fact that he looks like a loving idiot.

It's a problem I've noticed with a certain kind of internet fuckwit - they say something like "Gaming should be a safe space for men in the same way as battered women's shelters are a safe space for women." and then expect people to 'rationally debate' their point instead of just throwing it out.

I like how reactos simultaneously believe 1: We are in a puritanical society that hates joy and that won't let them have any fun 2: We are in a disgusting decadent hedonistic society that allows too much

It is a violation of their rights to stop them from doing what they want and it is a violation of their rights to allow others to do as they want.

Kut Rate Kane posted:What a defensive little pissbaby. This dude tries so hard to let you know that he doesn't care what you think, and it's SO OBVIOUS that all he cares about is what people think. He almost has a point - ad hominems don't really mean anything - but rather than just dismiss the 'attacks' as ad hominems and moving on, he whines for five and a half minutes. He even gives a quote from some dude that basically says 'Just ignore trolls'. Yet he can't keep himself from responding to defend himself.

Honestly I'm not sure how many options you have if you're trying to have a "debate" with Aurini, other than mocking him, because his points just don't. . . really. . . exist. Like, I have no idea how I'm supposed to respond to "All women are whores, unless they're sluts" with anything but "That's really obviously wrong holy poo poo dude" when we know his response is going to be "You haven't disproven the fact that all women are, by nature, whores.  "Okay I do, but mocking laughter would just be taken as an ad hominem.

coyo7e posted:Haha it's a glass of iced apple juice? That's even more ridiculous. They use water/juice in film and on stage because they don't want the person to get drunk - but Aurini doesn't ever, ever sip his drink. Ironically? These guys are fascists (or as near as makes no difference), aren't they?

I like how Sargon of Akkad has made himself basically un-googlable. He stole the name of a man so much better than him, that he will always be a tiny speck in his shadow. At least "Davis Aurini" is distinctive.

Yeah let's not. I wasn't advocating that. I just think it's funny that the dude invokes somebody it's almost impossible to live up to. It's like that guy in every single creative writing class who is poo poo but won't stop quoting and referencing TS Eliot. He doesn't realise that it doesn't elevate him to the level of the dude, it just makes him look worse in comparison.
