Caros posted:I think my favorite part is that after all the shitposting he's done, his permaban seems to be over something he didn't do. I've been both a moderator and an administrator of forums (not this one, ever, but elsewhere) and let me tell you the mods made absolutely the right decision on this one. When people even start suggesting that sort of thing you just drop the hammer and don't give second chances. Aside from that in the case of our lord and savior jrod here he has multiple times over the course of multiple years done something the mods specifically said "don't do that anymore." At this point it should be obvious that he just doesn't respect the rules and never will.

Oh no they made the right call without a doubt, I'd been waiting for it since the other day in fact. I just think it's funny that they mixed up the stupid thing he was promising to do with an equally stupid different thing. Seems perfect jrod, going out like a bitch even in the end.

Who What Now posted:Wait, I just realized that he said a libertarian has the biggest chance of convincing socialist Bernie supporters to vote for them. Haha, goddamn, I forgot just how deep in the delusions Jrod really is. This is somewhat true but for weird reasons. A lot of people who identify as socialist or libertarian don't really understand what they're saying and are just espousing a team identification of "not major party". I've actually spoken to a number of people who identify as libertarians and supported Bernie. Usually they're very well meaning.

Can't have a meritocracy if you have rampant poverty and for profit schools. Oddly enough that was also exactly why an old gaming buddy of mine who was a very long term libertarian and even held some minor offices as a libertarian pretty recently went "wow, gently caress this poo poo" and went D. More and more people are digging deeper into the beliefs and looking at things like the increased automation happening and thinking "you know, we were wrong."

Our Jrod was too good for this sinful, state-lousy world. He ascends into Galt's Gulch while we remain in the socialist boneyard to watch moochers ruin everything. Even in his parting, he leaves us gifts. "Trump is a crazy loser! now, this John McAffee guy, he's my first pick!" Oh, that my tears were diamonds, that I could properly weep in awe rich enough for this post! NAP Avatar who flees his stateless rape bathsalt compound to come back under the sheltering wing of US socialism, just the guy to usher in the libertarian vision. Correct in so many ways, it's like an onion of layered, golden truths. "I am a very busy entrepreneur, which is why I was away fueling the furnaces of industry and human enterprise. Now -behold- as I fail at committing petty internet fraud." They should have sent a poet.

Man, and he had just admitted his grudging respect for SA, the only forum where his unassailable positions could actually be assailed. And to make sure that he wouldn't be banned again from his favorite forums, he threatened to run a chargeback, an idea that could only be had by a man who believes that people are only motivated by profit. Now he can never post here again, the ultimate rejection of his hubris. It's like a twilight zone episode in here. Jrod running into the open arms of government tyranny and running a chargeback against SA is too poetic to not happen QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 01:58 on May 27, 2016 |

Can't have a meritocracy if you have rampant poverty and for profit schools. I've said it before but it's often easier to convert a libertarian into a socialist than it is it convert a Republican into a Democrat. Some are beyond help, of course, but a fair number are actually trying to think intelligently about their political opinions and transcend pure team-think ideology, they just aren't very good at it because there's so much more right-wing propaganda out there in American culture. If you're intelligent enough to think about politics in economic terms, you'll often start out as a libertarian, but once you start learning about concepts like market failures and behavioral economics, it's not as big a leap as you might think to pick up the hammer and sickle. I feel sad that I just discovered this thread like today and as soon as I show up the punching bag leaves =(

And then was shocked when we said that was both a lie and crazy racist. Mine is the one that got him probated last time: claiming within the space of fifteen minutes that (1) the state is the biggest aggressor against minority rights and Libertarianism is the real solution to racism, and (2) we should racially profile all Arabs and blacks at all times, if you don't want to be treated like a terrorist maybe you shouldn't share a race with so many terrorists hm? No wait that's second, my favorite was "liberals are too quick to throw around the term 'slavery' at every little thing until it becomes meaningless".

I think my favorite Jrod moment is actually more like a series of moments. Namely the multiple times he insisted that economic rights and human rights are the same thing, then cited a list of nations with markets that were more free than that of the US which just happened to contain literal, just-shy-of-actual-chattel-slavery slave states, then in an effort to get out of it stated that no you guys, economic rights and human rights are totally not the same thing.

It's mundane as gently caress compared to the rest of jrod's history and I'm pretty sure I only remember it because it was the only question I asked him, but I'm particularly a fan of his complete dismissal of peer review right before or right after he went and got those fillings removed. Don't trust the opinions of certified professionals published in an accredited, independent journal because BIG PHARMA and CORPORATIONS will buy them off, but go ahead and introduce a shitload of mercury into your system because the nice dentist said so

God, yes. That was absolutely amazing, especially given how he'd been hammering the "all human rights come from property rights" idiocy hard beforehand. The most infuriating moment for me, personally, was when he managed to make it about the mentally and physically disabled or handicapped or.... whatever, since that just made me livid, given that he'd made it personal, but the most enjoyable one was definitely him getting caught out on the UAE and Qatar and the massive pretzel he twisted himself into. And now, if you'll permit me, my own eulogy for JRode. A long, long time ago I can still remember How his posting used to make me laugh. And I knew if he had his chance He'd bitch and moan and remonstrance At any who would dare a sound reply His shrill objections without substance His every point an utter nonsense Each 'source' an utter vile bilge of racism and privilege I still remember how he died When threatening chargebacks and a lawyer's ride And black joy blazed deep, deep inside. The day JRodefeld died. I started signing Bye bye libertarian guy You were a scoundrel and a moron, with the guts of a fly. Your shitposts will live as a gutchurning sty Of the worst ideas anyone's had. The worst ideas that anyone's had.

I know jrode won't see this post, but I'll make my parting shots anyways.jrodefeld posted:I am carefully looking at the Libertarian Party nomination this cycle. I haven't yet decided if I will vote, but if I do it will almost certainly be for the Libertarian Party nominee. None of the candidates running for that nomination are close to ideal in my eyes, but my preference would be, from best to worst: 1. John Mcafee, 2. Austin Petersen, 3. Gary Johnson. So, like any "well informed" libertarian, you only picked the three that are actually well known because they're either rich, have the means to self promote, or a total shill for Fox News. Seriously, your list is: 1) Crazy bath-salts snorting rich guy who had to escape a stateless utopia and faked a heart disease to be brought back under the protection of the power and weight of the United States, which he previously left because "states are bad, man." Also, might have killed a journalist. 2) Literally a Fox News shill who is only getting mentioned because he 3) Jilted quote:I voted for Gary Johnson in 2012 and I personally like him. He's a good fellow and an honest man. The problem is his delivery is incredibly weak. He doesn't seem like he prepares that well for debates and he doesn't seem that well-read about libertarianism in general. Maybe the problem is that Gary "FeelMy" Johnson is not actually an honest man and is a Republican in disguise? He doesn't seem well-read about Libertarianism because he isn't a Libertarian, he's a loving dyed in the wool Republican who is just using the platform for his own selfish desires, and realizes the "Party" as it is is too unorganized and dysfunctional to catch on, and even if they did, they couldn't tell him to go away because having a former state governor running for your party gives you an air of legitimacy and respectability that the dozen other crazies running for your party don't. quote:John McAfee is the closest to an anarchist and he has a certain gravitas to his delivery which is why I like him. He is a little crazy, but crazy in a good way. He is the more revolutionary and controversial candidate which, in an election where loud-mouth Donald Trump won the GOP nomination, doesn't seem to be a downside. McAfee's entire recent personal history contradicts his "anarchist" ideas by having to rely on the protection of the United States Government, and faking a heart attack, in order to keep from rotting in some South American prison. On top of that, his whole platform is "I'm rich, but I can't do what I want. I should be able to do what I want, because I'm rich. Vote for me, vote libertarian!" quote:Austin Petersen, on the other hand, is much more pragmatic. He is more knowledgeable about libertarianism than is Johnson and has a polished delivery, but he is very young which can make him seem inexperienced. He is less radical than McAfee but he could peel away quite a few conservatives who hate Trump but are scared away by McAfee and are hesitant about Johnson's more liberal positions. Austin Petersen is a total shill for Fox News, is only a "legitimate" candidate because of them, and is a Libertarian-Republican in the same vein as Stossel, Napolitano, and Glenn Beck. Why? Because he used to work for these poo poo heels and knows how to play the conservative media game. Without his media roots, he'd be just another random "business owner and part time crazy person" running for the Libertarian nomination.

This is the "Young Libertarian" mindset, I believe. Younger generations are becoming more and more socially liberal, so they reject the obvious racism and bigotry of the right, but have still been inundated with the propaganda against the left. I think I flirted with this stage at one point, having my ideas of "always err on the side of freedom" clashing with many of the Republican stances on social issues. But I could never give into the Libertarian idea of a super minimal state. I eventually decided to ditch the Republican party, and I'm still coming to grips with voting "D" this year (I supported Bernie). I think it's the key of getting people to understand "the Right is wrong about social issues, maybe they're wrong about economic issues, too." Then I have some rear end in a top hat libertarian friends on Facebook who are that odd breed of "Libertarian-Republican" that buy into the whole idea of "Freedom of Association" a.k.a. "I should be free to throw your (black/muslim/gay) rear end out of my store if I don't like you, and NO IT'S NOT RACISM."

It is a shock, a complete shock, that as soon as jrod gets hosed by a property owner disposing of his property as he wishes, to jrod's detriment, that jrod starts freaking out about injustice and economic coercion. Imagine, jrod, if what happened to you was actually completely arbitrary (as opposed to you not following the rules), and instead of being a dumb comedy forum and  it was a hospital and your entire life savings?

I'm afraid you're all objectively wrong about the best Jrod moment. Back when he first showed up and was replying to each and every post one at a time... only to transparently skip anything with a good argument as if people wouldn't NOTICE... that was Jrodefeld at his best. Also, when he hosed a watermelon.

I don't know how anyone can be a Libertarian if they have an ounce of fairness in their body. I was already pretty much a Socialist at heart, and was not ignorant of the abuse of the property/capital owners of history, but when you read books like Lies My Teacher Told Me and a People's History of the U.S. it is laid out in such detail you can't help but get angry and view people who support the right of others to treat their employees like slaves as evil little shits.

Another great JRod moment was when he'd been MIA for a while, and I made a joke about libertarians redefining words like "violence" and "inflation" to mean whatever they want, and he immediately burst back into the thread to tell me how wrong I am. Makes up ludicrous definitions for both words and says "look at a dictionary sometime, jeez." Also when Fury Road came out and may as well have been Valhalla DRO: the Movie Also when John Oliver joked about asking "have you ever hosed a watermelon" on job applications
