Why don't you take out an account? It's weird to see high-effort posts from an IP. A bunch of numbers doesn't suit you. 09:20, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * But I like my numbers! :D 141.134.75.236 (talk) 09:21, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Create an account with the numbers as the account name.

"De-censoring"
I think that the proper word for that is "whitewashing", not censorship. Not that it matters much though. But I'd like to see more sources in that article. Looking at the history, it's the creation of a single user.--ZooGuard (talk) 19:44, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Whitewashing is kinda like censoring out bad stuff, but yeah, I guess whitewashing is a more accurate description in this case. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 20:10, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Now that's just silly. It's not because something can be interpreted in a sexual way that all its other meanings need to be completely banned from use out of fear for confusion. And since I'm anti-sex, that particular meaning is obviously not the one I want to convey except jokingly, perhaps . 141.134.75.236 (talk) 03:24, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Conservative username troll
The conservative username troll has been around for a few years now, he regularly signs up with trolling usernames and the best thing is just to ignore him. Some of us like to change his name to the opposite of his name. Bicycle wheel  15:03, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Your opinions
On Qur'anic scientific foreknowledge, usually I break up each claim into two sections: The claim text, with quotes from the Qur'an removed; and quotes from the Qur'an. Do you think this hurts its readability? 04:42, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, I include the entire section of the foreknowledge claim, such as introductions, rather than just the "X is true" portions. Is this good or bad? 04:46, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * As long as the relevant Qur'an verses can be easily accessed through links, I don't think there's anything wrong with that aproach.
 * Perhaps you can take out some of the less relevant paragraphs. But if anyone wants the tl;dr version, you usually provide a summary of the claim at the bottom of the section. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 13:40, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Your ethics
Re: "Why does coercion matter, if it produces good consequences?" "Why does slavery matter, if it produces good consequences? See what I did there?" Is there ever a point at which you would accept slavery if it produces good consequences? 00:46, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh believe me, at the end of the day I'm a consequentialist all the way. But that doesn't mean we can't declare some things as being immoral in a general sense. I don't think abolishing taxation would be a good idea, but we can at least admit the coercive aspect of it is unfortunate, no? Since you seemed to be dismissing coercion as being morally irrelevant, I replaced coercion with a very similar but vastly more controversial concept. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 11:46, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * So then, why do you believe that coercion (or slavery) morally relevant? 22:05, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Do you think the enslavement of millions of Africans was a morally neutral event then? 141.134.75.236 (talk) 22:48, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I haven't said anything about my beliefs; I'm merely asking why you think coercion and slavery are morally relevant. 23:00, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Because they reduce the coerceds'/enslaveds' happiness, for one thing. They also empower people who have no problem with coercion/slavery, who tend to be more likely to commit immoral acts than people who do have a problem with these practices. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 23:17, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * So coercion is bad because it violates principles of happiness utilitarianism? 23:25, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It usually does, yeah. Though, speculating where you intend to take this, I'd add that I tend to value happiness that is freely chosen above enforced happiness. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 23:46, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Your thoughts, again
Qur'anic scientific foreknowledge is the third longest page on the wiki. Do you think it would be worth it to break it up? If so, how should it be done? 00:24, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with long pages, but if you wanna split it up, I'd divide it by subject ("Qur'anic scientific foreknowledge of biology" or "Qur'anic scientific foreknowledge/Biology" etc.) and add small summaries for each subject on the main page. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 05:22, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I worry that the article is too difficult to navigate for when somebody stumbles across a QSF claim, and wants to use the page to rebut it. 05:38, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

"Black in black people is usually not capitalized..."
A lot of scholarship by and about people from Africa and its diaspora does use the upper-case "B", but you're right that popular press/the newspapers tends not to. Peace. AgingHippie (talk) 19:50, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
 * It just seemed like a "RW article with weird capitalization" thing. And using a capital B somehow makes the differention between races seem more significant/justified (though maybe that's just my subjective perception). I'm by no means an expert, though, so if I made a mistake feel free to revert. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 20:08, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

to be fair
It is possible to be for something and against the movement for it, I support socialism, the environent and animal rights but not china, eco-terrorists/anti nukers and peta. Doesnt justify him but it isn't that countradictory-- Mie kal  23:43, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I meant "the movement" in a more generalized sense. E.g. "environmentalism" is the name for the movement that seeks to protect/preserve the environment, or the movement fighting for animal rights is generally known as "the animal rights movement". I support both of these movements, but that obviously doesn't mean I'd automatically support all organizations or ideologies that are tied to the broader movement.

About Syria
I made the edits I did because I thought the way the internationally-recognized official government of Syria was being represented in the article was biased. It is true that a lot of people (almost entirely in America and Europe) call the government "the regime", especially if they want to make it look bad. I know we don't have to have neutrality here at RationalWiki, but this is not a clear-cut case of right and wrong. I think the use in the article was biased against the government and that the word 'government' should be used instead to avoid giving people the wrong impression. A compromise move would be to call the government 'the regime' as long as the opposition are called 'terrorists', 'jihadis' or 'Islamists'. What do you think? Pbfreespace3 (talk) 02:13, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Honestly, it makes little difference to me whether we talk about "Assad's government" or "Assad's regime". But Assad's government de facto isn't the only one in Syria anymore and de jure it's lost a lot of its international recognition. As for calling (all of?) the opposition terrorists/jihadis/Islamists, take a look at this map and tell me the Kurds and forces don't control a bunch of territory as well (also take note that, though there's a lot of dark gray on that map, much of the ISIS-controlled territory consists of barren land/desert area). That the media likes to focus on the extremists doesn't mean they're the only ones there. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 02:49, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

I understand your last point. I said the thing about Islamists in a slightly sarcastic way to deliver a larger point: this article shouldn't use the biased word regime. We don't use the word regime for Israel, so why do we use it for Syria? The western media uses it because they are against it.

If we're really going to argue over semantics, I could say that the Assad regime isn't the only regime in Syria. There are others: ISIS certainly is a brutal regime, and Al-Qaeda controlled areas also constitute a regime. So let's drop the word altogether and go with the less biased one.

Also, I said what I said about Islamist and jihadis because this. The Kurds don't really constitute opposition. For the most part they have gotten along quite well with the Syrian government in Qamişlo‎, Hesîçe‎, Aleppo, and Kafr Nubl area, rarely clashing and sharing control of governmental institutions. The Kurds have fought the rebels several times in Efrîn and Aleppo.‎ Also note that on that map (which I helped contribute to for several months) the grey color is exclusively for al-Nusra. The green color includes very extreme factions like Ahrar al-Sham (wants an Islamic State, worked with ISIS), Jaish al-Islam (leader called for genocide and they have used human shields), and other Islamists. If you look at the wiki pages, FSA totals about 55,000; whereas the Islamic Front has 55,000; al-Nusra alone has 11,000; and ISIS has at least 55,000 in Syria alone by conservative estimates. And also not all FSA members are devoted secularists. The moderate rebels are outnumbered 2-1 by Islamists and Jihadis. So to summarize: the green color is really misleading. The majority of the rebels in that green are frankly not nice guys, and they have a view of Syria's future closer to that of Saudi Arabia than that of Tunisia. Pbfreespace3 (talk) 05:13, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
 * This isn't about semantics. At the start of the whole affair, you could've referred to Assad's government as the Syrian government and been speaking completely neutrally. But with the current reality being what it is, that is no longer the case. 142.124.55.236 (talk) 05:34, 11 January 42016 AQD (UTC)
 * I'm sure the rebels include a lot of factions that aren't nice guys, but to say 2 out of 1 identify as Islamic, thus they must be extreme Islamists, thus the majority of the rebels are bad guys makes a couple assumptive jumps too many for my tastes. Either way, what you're making it sound to me is like you've given up hope of Syrian rebels achieving positive change/fear the bad factions getting the upper hand and achieving negative change. If you think Assad's regime is Syria's best bet for peace and stability right now, there's nothing wrong with that position. But it doesn't mean you should rewrite our RW article to assert Assad's government as the one and only legitimate government of Syria. 142.124.55.236 (talk) 05:59, 11 January 42016 AQD (UTC)

So what do you propose? I gathered you didn't care all that much. Pbfreespace3 (talk) 05:43, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Honestly, if the word 'regime' bothers you that much you're free to change it. Just don't change the tone to being Assad-apologetic. I think your most recent change is acceptible. 142.124.55.236 (talk) 06:02, 11 January 42016 AQD (UTC)

 * Seems fair. There's probably some women who have a larger brain than some guys, but the "on average" part is kind of implied anyway in these sort of general statements.

You have demonstrated clear bad faith argumentation. I'm not unfairly assuming anything about you. Not a thing
I'm going to try to make this whole discussion without telling you to "get your head out of your ass", but it's gonna be goddamn hard.

So I've got a few hangups about your recent behavior that can't let me treat you as someone with good faith arguments from a different ideological perspective.

You demanded I reconsider my perspective, and I seriously tried, on the explicit grounds you asked me to. I didn't change my mind, which means I could be lying to you right now, and all I have to promise that I took time to seriously consider what you were asking, that I consider there being decent, intellectual, fair-minded conservatives who I gloss over in my apparently overgeneralized perspective about them. That's not something I've never done before, because hell, I recognize what mindless hate looks like. It looks damn similar to what I believe.

To that end, you supplied an example of what you considered to be the intellectual validity that can be found and respected. To that end, I tried reading every essay in their latest publication. I found barely covered-up racism, a purposefully dishonest representation of fucking tweets by one reporter, a dishonest representation, I hasten to add, that was cooked up by alt-right internet shitheads, republished with no thought, or anchor-points a standard they'd ever hold themselves to, and two very bland cultural commendation pieces not particularly worth commenting on.

I went back to a moment in history where I considered the conservative movement "went off the rails" from bad to irredeemable. The start of the Iraq war. Totally pointless, aimless bloodshed. And I told myself, "even I personally consider their arguments 'against diversity' to be obviously asinine and derived from bigotry if I find arguments for restraint against one of the most stupid mistakes of 'the right', I'd be unfair to just hold them in contempt for that." Further reconsideration would be due. What I found was pure, unrestrained, purely bigoted bloodlust. Demands for mass bombing campaigns to "make america look strong". Articles suggesting that the existence of Islam and good morals were incompatible(the irony has not escaped me). The worst, most base kind of shit I attribute to the conservative movement. Oh they used adjectives, referenced history, but then implied a need for genocide.

At that point I was angry, I'll admit it, I felt like you'd fed me something you hadn't even looked at because you googled "intellectual conservative publication" or something. For the last bit, I jumped to 1985, hoping to find something culpatory about Iran-Contra. I found something worse. A kill-all-gays, homosexuality is a crime against public health manifesto of hate. Not the one more piece of shit I wanted for my answer to you, but one that actively made me seethe far more. What fucking scum had you directed me to?

I came back to you with my findings. I had not found what I was looking for, something to reshape my view of conservatives with less contempt and more understanding, but a profound and even viscerally unpleasant to experience confirmation of my existing views. Your response, to the genuine and sincere effort I made was, irrespective of whether I explicitly described seeking the latest issue and understanding it from holistic perspectives, was a brief "you're just nutpicking and strawmanning". I don't know if you believed that, but I definitely know you didn't put the effort to have even a moment of contemplation on your own views as you demanded from. You just threw the entire sincere response I had to my "oversight" into the trash as unfair. I tried to answer your charge of nutpicking with the very real fact that I went to the latest issue as a specific method to overcome that way of biasing myself. You just went away to snipe again another day. No resolution as to whether you reconsidered the intellectual credibility of the Claremont Book Review, no hint as to whether you reconsidered the fairness of the nutpicking accusation. Just gone. Nobs, while a bit possibly literally crazy, is way less dishonest in his dealings.

This has all been a personal story, a lot of "I" and "me"; it's my perspective on what it was like trying to give you a little credit, to not toss you in a bin of shitheels, after our past interactions that haven't exactly painted a favorable image. But it's a story of how I'm not assuming bad faith, I assumed good faith, and rapidly lost it. And it's personal enough that I don't expect you to intuit that as what happened. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 22:01, 9 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Well, alright. Let me start out by admitting I kinda gave up on having a meaningful conversation when you responded with "nah they're psychos [...]  [...] made up by literal goddamn nazis" followed by more in a similar vein. You can call Cernovich and Posobiec a number of things (especially Cernovich), but literal goddamn nazis... seems like a stretch. Anyway, my immediate impression was that you were really focusing on any bad stuff you could find and (maybe unintentionally) inventing particularly uncharitable interpretations. And then you dragged out the old stuff. It seemed like a dishonest attempt to pin all the bigoted stuff conservatives used to be renowned for on me to sabotage any good-faith communication. And to be fair, the apartheid article basically just says "foreign interventions should generally be avoided + we urge South Africa to treat its black population better + we're afraid of hasty revolutions". If South Africa was replaced with Iraq here, would you object to those points? I'm also not sure where you got the "All muslims are evil" angle from. It's a history piece about Greek independence vs the Ottoman empire + relevant ideological underpinings.


 * But let's put all of that aside for now. And let me first clear one thing up. I recommended Claremont because I once read a couple interesting articles from it and I'm familiar with a few pretty wonderful people associated with it. It's not a publication I regularly check up on though, so it's perfectly possible that you have a different assessment. That being said, if you're really looking for reasonable/intellectual conservatives you're going to need to 1) look past the bad apples, 2) ignore perceived dog whistles, and 3) understand that conservatives are often informed by different sources than what you're familiar with. Here's a good example. Take this article about America's past decade of wars and the related decline of the ruling elite. Here is one paragraph in particular I think you'll find objectionable:

That is roughly the story of Iraq, too. Saddam Hussein supported and advocated terrorism by paying bounties to suicide bombers, and hosting terrorist organizations' headquarters and training facilities. The first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993 was mounted from Iraq. Some of its organizers, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, also took part in 9/11. U.S. Intelligence still shrouds in secrecy what it knows about the deep relationship between Iraqi Intelligence, al-Qaeda, and other organizations infiltrated by it. Saddam had made himself the paladin of anti-Americanism in the Arab world. Thus the 2003 U.S. invasion that overthrew him served the American people well. Had our forces withdrawn quickly, they would have left most Iraqis grateful to America, and the rest fearful of it. But the subsequent occupation of Iraq was a multidimensional disaster.


 * But if we excise this one paragraph from the piece... well, try it out. What do you make of this article when you ignore the objectionable part in this one paragraph? What do you make of the author? Do you think they're a dumbass/bigot/nazi/etc.? What do you make of their analysis? 141.134.75.236 (talk) 04:18, 10 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Also 4) drop the guilt by association thing. Even if Cernovich and Posobiec were 'literal goddamn nazis', that doesn't mean conservatives are nazis for not instantly detecting it. Most don't even know who they are. It's also unhelpful to give nazis that much power over national conversations. Soon we'll be banning the dictionary definition of words whenever nazis use them too. Come on now. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 07:50, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * It's not guilt by association to regurgitate bullshit invented by nazis to achieve nazi aims, with a bullshit double standard attached. That's not what guilt-by-association means.  You're not pals with the dumb assholes on unrelated terms,  if you're actively repeating their asshole conspiracies.  Don't you get that's why I hate you guys so much?  Your always seem to step up to bat for every goddamn stupid, evil, and unrepentant idea.  You rationalize everything.  Stop throwing around labels for logical fallacies based on similarity and actually apply them according to their intent.
 * And that decade-after "no actually it's not our fault that Iraq was bad, it was technical implementation details" think piece you are now telling me gave you cause to consider them good, and especially the excerpt you quoted just makes me hate you and them so much goddamn more. It's conspiracy mongering " U.S. Intelligence still shrouds in secrecy what it knows about the deep relationship between Iraqi Intelligence, al-Qaeda, and other organizations infiltrated by it" is a lie.  It became very apparent that we had no fucking evidence at all of any such connection, and substantial evidence of an antagonistic relationship of Al Qeada and Hussein.  They fed you a lie, and you believed it.  No nuance, no room for me misunderstanding you or them.
 * I wish to hell the truth was I was just misunderstanding and not giving you or them enough credit. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 16:29, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * If you don't want to make an honest effort that's fine, you do you. The point I was trying to get across is that conservatives can clearly do thoughtful analysis if you look beyond the bits of misinformation they believe. You keep mischaracterizing the majority of these articles (the AIDS one is bad, not gonna touch that with a ten foot pole) based on bits you don't like. Kind of surprised by your demand for purity given your previous characterizations of conservatives. But there's no room for gray areas in between it seems. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 17:27, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Fuck. You.  You condescending ass.  I've wasted so much time for "honest effort".  The "bits of misinformation they believe" has everything to do with justifying mass murder, and gives them(and you) no pause for reflection on what they got wrong.  Also I have no fucking clue what the fuck "purity" has to do with anything.  ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 17:34, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
