jrode just gets bandwaggoned so hard that he gives up

I know people love trying to poo poo on him but we'd have a better jrod thread if only a few people responded to him at once instead of a jrod post followed by a million 'gently caress YOU YOU'RE HITLER' posts.

it would help if a) he wasn't such a condescending prick b) he didn't try to respond to "every post" in order" c) he didn't ignore people like whats his nuts with the health care posts

I'm aware of this but all the million posts calling him a oval office just let him dodge even more easily and also make it less likely for him to re-emerge

if you want dissenting people around to troll you have to play cat and mouse with them because mostly they just leave if it's 99 people yelling at 1 guy.

i'm pretty ambivalent about whether there are libertarians on the board so I don't care but some people seem to enjoy jrod's shitposting

something i saw today made the point that the neoliberal conception of liberty is freedom *from* things (government, taxes, etc) rather than freedom *to do* things (higher education, not dying from diseases of poverty, etc)

It's weird cos you can phrase either as freedom from stuff, freedom from sickness, starvation, ignorance, etc. I think it's more that some people care about freedom from stuff they dislike rather than the freedoms they already enjoy as a result of those things they dislike.

You know that level of hostility was only arrived at after a very long time of him absolutely refusing to substantially engage with anybody, right?

Also if jrode doesn't come back then the containment thread will have fulfilled its purpose imo.

yes I've been posting in that thread since forever

I didn't say it's wrong to be hostile to jrode, just that people shouldn't claim they want him around and also bash the poo poo out of him. If you want to keep him around you have to troll him in a more subtle way.

If you want him gone, mission accomplished.

which do you think pisses off jrod more

-directly and viciously insulting him, wishing death on him, saying he hosed a durian etc.

-patiently cataloging the racist things his heroes have said, while remaining the soul of comity

I hold that it is simply the thing he posts more words about, and that the personal insults leave him in a silent frothing fury. :eng101:

Okay really it probably just reinforces his messiah/martyr complex but I find them more satisfying on a personal level.
