RE: “Pragmatists”: Who’s Gonna Pick the Cotton!? [YOUTUBE VERSION]

in #anarchy6 years ago

I only write this to see if you are flagging me or not..

It seems dissenting voices in the voluntarism utopian are be met with
threats of flagging. (pretty authoritarian behavior, especially if taking up votes off smaller minnows for no other reason than disagreement).
...as you put it..

Some folks get it. You don’t. You low EQ fucks can fuck right off. Don’t comment here again unless you want those silly flags to be added to your comment.

I won't bother wasting my breath on a flagged post.

I would welcome your comments on the post I am doing (about yesterday).
It highlights my points very well re - ideology and ideologues.

I won't act aggressively to your comments on my feed (flagging).
I don't act authoritarian to people saying things I don't like to hear ...or views I disagree with.
Nor do I wish to display such personality traits.

But I'm not a voluntarist.

Thanks for your time.

Sort:  

Flagging a comment on my blog is not aggression. This space is akin to property, and I can manage it as the platform allows. Flagging your bullshit is no more "aggressive" than locking you out of my house. If you feel that that is "aggressive," then I don't know what to tell you.

ok fair enough, I'll do all my responses to you on my own posts.

thanks.

So by that metric, flagging on some one else post is an act of aggression?

Logically, it must be....

I'll screen shot this...

....Seeing as your blog is akin to property, I mean.

then I don't know what to tell you.

...but I have so much to tell you. But you flag me so that you don't have to listen.

Seeing the ideologues weaknesses yet? Probably not.

No, all I see are your desperate attempts to appear somehow morally and intellectually superior, I could care less.

And no, flagging anywhere is not “aggression.” Jesus. This is an open platform where a flag is an acceptable market action.

Nice on ignoring the crux and central point of my comment though. You are exceptionally adept at that, to your credit.

So, who will pick the cotton!? It’s unrealistic to free the slaves!! Maybe once we get some pragmatic cotton gins up in here we can justify freeing them.

🤪

Wish I could help this fellow, but I’ll be damned if the cotton gin hasn’t been invented yet to make it “pragmatic”!

But you perceive you blog as your property? Correct?
'akin to your property', as you say.

That being the case then , to go onto someone else's 'property' (someone else's blog) and flagging would be an aggressive act on their property?

This is an open platform where a flag is an acceptable market action.

Isn't that just an excuse to allow you to participate in actions and in doing so, absolve yourself of you own moral responsibility.?
The moral ethos of non aggression principal?
(based on your own definition of what constitutes ' your property on steemit', ...in this context?).

It's almost like you are falling back on the authority of steemits rules to permit and justify your own actions....

A dilemma? Or not?

If I fail to address a point it not avoidance,I can assure you - it is me wandering off point.

Please feel free to point it out, as it is a bad habit of mine...
It helps me!

See my final comment in our other exchange, you seem to have some pretty serious misconceptions about what voluntaryism is, and what I personally believe/advocate.
