Hello to you, Ho. Acei9 21:16, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
LX[edit]
YOU EITHER DIE A HERO OR YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE YOURSELF LIVE TO BECOME THE VILLAIN. I'M LIKE MALCOLM X.
LX has been editing every article which has even the slightest left wing slant, and I will stop him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9c8w8ONAWM
I can do these things, because I'm not a hero. I'm whatever RW needs me to be. Not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need. LX will hunt me, he will condemn me. Because that's what needs to happen. Sometimes truth isn't good enough. Sometimes people deserve more.
I will watch LX, and I will revert his edits. Why are they watching me? Because RW has a right wing bias that would make Andy blush. But I'm not a hero, I'm not the one it needs right now. I didn't do anything wrong, but I can take it. I'm not a Randroid asshole. I'm a silent protector. A dark knight.UncleHo (talk) 11:56, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
Edit war[edit]
You are invited to defend your edits to the Asatru page on that article's talk-page. Until you have done so you are not to make any more edits to that article. ListenerXTalkerX 19:02, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
- So you can just ignore the talk page, revert any edits I would make and strut around thanking Wotan (Not the David Duke Wotan though, right?) for your great victory over the mean internet men?UncleHo (talk) 19:04, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Your userpage[edit]
I like that saying on your userpage. AnarchoGoon Swatting Assflys is how I earn my living 23:03, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
- Uncle Ho had a lot of good sayings, really. If you can get ahold of one of his books, I'd recommend reading it, regardless of what you think of the man. — Unsigned, by: UncleHo / talk / contribs

Congrats! You have achieved the requirements to meet our incredibly low critera for the position of sysop. Here's your mop and bucket, required for the position. The Spikey Punk I'm punking my punk! 20:27, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Article protection[edit]
Please do not protect articles, as it is against the rules here. Really, the only time we protect a page is if it is the target of spammers, and then we only do it for a short period of time. Thank you for your cooperation. AnarchoGoon Swatting Assflys is how I earn my living 18:18, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Just plain being nasty to LX[edit]
"I don't see why I, as a socialist, would owe an "ultra capitalist" who is so lazy anything but a bullet to the head." [1]
Unless you are a sockpuppet of LX having fun, consider yourself "warned". Please stop being such a nasty idiot. ħuman 04:48, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- Hey, stop being an prick to our people. When you have 1/10 as many productive edits as LX has, we might be somewhat interested in your opinion. Until then, why don't you enjoy a nice, hot cup of shut the fuck up. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 20:35, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
I'd just like to thank you for taking LX to task. You're doing a great job and with superb snark. Please keep it up. — Sincerely, Neveruse / Talk / Block 21:16, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah it's great. Not only do I get to rip on LX, but I get to annoy people who take the internet seriously. A masterstroke.UncleHo (talk) 22:06, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

- Yes, and it's made funny by the fact that everyone rushes to defend the poor guy like he's some sort of special child being picked on by the mean internet bullies. I don't know why he can't speak for himself, he has more than enough time to speak on everything else.UncleHo (talk) 22:12, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- "everyone rushes to defend the poor guy like he's some sort of special child being picked on by the mean internet bullies." Hey, he's family. We stick up for our own. You, on the other hand, are just some loser with poor grammar who makes lame edits, has no ability to be creative or funny, and is generally tolerated like a retarded cousin or someone's bitchy girlfriend at some family function. The fact that you made me, of all people, want to come to Listener's, of all people's defence, should tell you exactly what kind of a-hole you are. Stop ruining our wiki.

No. Now I'm going to revert your lame-ass edits because they are lame ass, as I and others have done in the past. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 22:37, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- Explain how editing out LX's anti-"red" garbage is lame? I replaced his biased statement with a factual one. I'm sorry you're so easily angered.UncleHo (talk) 22:39, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- Because it's fun and funny and adds a little character and critique to the article, which is kind of what we're all about. You ARE aware that this isn't, strictly speaking, an encyclopedia, and that we're not NPOV, right? TheoryOfPractice (talk) 22:41, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Are you abusing drugs again?[edit]
Why did you remove all this material from the Direct Action article? Also, the Astaru insertion looks more like you taking the chance to take a swipe at LX in his absence instead of trying to be productive. That's an asshole move, and really not cool... P-Foster (talk) 20:34, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
- Well, assuming the article was basically HURF LEFTISTS AND CHRISTIANS SUCK PRAISE ODIN, I thought a little barb would be appropriate. I thought it would reduce clutter if I merged all the eco groups into one, and make the article less a condemnation of environmentalists. Also, Combat 18 is a serious racist group which has been found to have commited many murders and acts of violence to further their bigoted and hateful ideaology. They are also Germanic Neo-Pagans. We have huge articles on fundamentalist Christians and yet when someone dares mention that there are violent fundamentalists in LXs religion, it's wrong. I really don't know why you expend so much effort defending a grown man from imagined internet slights on his silly gods.UncleHo (talk) 21:54, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'll start at the end of your assertions and move back through them: 1. Because picking on him with lame edits IN HIS ABSENCE is bully-like and lame. 2. You know what, I just don't give a shit about the rest of what you have to say. Just stop being an ass, and keep your petty little disputes with other editors out of the mainspace, mmkay?

"This place is full of right-wing bias..."[edit]
Actually, it's full of lots of different biases, depending on where you look. RW is, in some ways, a collection of like-minded people to be sure, but it's no hive mind. Lots of different users have lots of different opinions on things, and the articles often reflect that fact--which to me, even as a committed leftist, is a good thing. It's not "socialismwiki" or "leftywiki," and it's certainly not your personal forum for spouting off your own political views. Try to keep in mind that smart people can hold opinions that differ from yours, and because of that, edit comments that come across as self-superior and dismissive won't make you a lot of friends here.
Besides which, if you're so fucking concerned about social justice and the revolution, writing RW articles won't help those things at all. Editing a vanity project like this is pretty bloody bourgeois. P-Foster (talk) 08:26, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- Shame that it upsets a "committed leftist" so much to see right wing bias eliminated. Back in my day, when we saw fascists, we beat them with baseball bats until the Socialized healthcare system put them into the ICU.

It's boring and trite and see number 1 above--you have no idea about me or my politics or political activity. 3. Did you just say there's fascist material on this website? Godwin's Law; I win. 4. It's a community of differently minded people--try to respect that, or better yet, pick a better and more important battle to fight. Yes, I'm a "committed leftist." I'm also a decent human being--or at least, I try my best to be one. So when friends or other folks have political opinions that diverge from mine, I try my damn best to refrain from being some shrieky, preachy, sanctimonious lefty asshole--'cause those people are annoying and do little to change anyone's mind, and worse than that, they're boring. /there's a community here, and I dropped the original note on this page to ask you to keep that in mind and to try to be respectful and have fun; at the end of the day, that's what this place should be about, and if you can't be fun, maybe you should find another little corner of the internet to dick around on.

- The difference is Andy is a whimpering little fascist punk who wants some sort of bizzaro Corporate Theocracy. I, on the other hand, am a revolutionary Socialist who thinks eggs must be broken and people must be offended (At the very least). The truth has a left wing bias, kid, deal with it. Also, it's funny how you dismiss things you do not agree with (Even though they're true) as "conspiracy theories." A useful defense mechanism.UncleHo (talk) 19:53, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Making Arguments[edit]
So while I know that you think that I'm reverting you on the Moore and UHC articles becuase I'm not lefty enough for you, that's not the case. I pretty much agree with you (...at least on UHC. Moore is a buffoon whose poor scholarship and abrasive style have done more to alienate people and give anti-progressive forces an easy target than anything else, but I digress...). By saying "intelligent people know that," you're doing no better than Andy Schlafly saying "it's as clear as 2+2=4!!! open your mind!!!!. It's not an argument, it's an opinion with no backing, and its painting with a broad brush--all things that undergrads get Cs for doing. Arguing that "some people woulkd argue that..." is worse. so what? Some people would argue the Earth is flat. People argue lots of things. That doesn't make them right. If you're gonna appeal to someone else's arguments, convince us why those arguemnts are good ones. Name them, for starters. More importantly, what do OTHER people argue, and how do you counter those arguments.
This sin't about politics--it's about shoddy workmanship. P-Foster (talk) 19:35, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, Moore's films are researched and fact checked quite well. It's all on his website. You might disagree with his tone (I think it's great, you can't fault the man for dumping ice water on people to wake them up) but he's not exactly making things up.UncleHo (talk) 19:38, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- Then why not bring some of that diligence to your own work here and stop making edits that undermine the arguments you want to make? P-Foster (talk) 19:43, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- +1. Uncle Ho, write something that would actually convince someone who doesn't already agree with you. Edit-warring to put in stuff that even people who agree with you think is just shitty writing is just going to get reverted for being rubbish - David Gerard (talk) 20:14, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- "Actually, Moore's films are researched and fact checked quite well. It's all on his website." What? So now we are to believe anything people say about themselves that makes them look good on their own website? Consider the source, okay? If someone says "my films are well researched and fact checked", then you should check to make sure this is the case andd see what oter people think about the quality of his citations. For example, a creationist could claim that his claims are "researched and fact checked quite well" and cite CMI and AiG and other sources, despite the fact that these "sources" are anything but. So think before spewing the Party line blindly, okay? --The Emperor Kneel before Zod! 22:13, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- I think he means that the research is on his website, not that the website says the films are well researched. Not that that makes UncleHo any less obnoxious, mind you, but let's keep the arguments on the level. Colonel of Squirrels白山羊不山羊。商讨。 22:04, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

If you're going to push your political agenda you need to get your history right. Sit ins were first widely employed by Ghandi in India. There is a world outside the US, you know. Jack Hughes (talk) 09:39, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Rosa Luxemburg[edit]
You keep claiming she was killed by the Social Democrats. People keep reverting you. I put a fact tag on the claim. You re-inserted the claim in a different way with no citation. Please get a citation for the claim or it will prolly be reverted. P-Foster (talk) 22:01, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
- Why is it that I seem to be the only one ever asked to cite anything? The Spartacists, of whom Rosa was a leader, were crushed by the Social Democrats in Germany. Rosa was captured, beaten, shot and thrown in a river by Freikorps thugs paid and supported by the SPD. This is fact.

- I didn't object to this because it's a falsehood, but because it has no place in the article on Social Democrats. The SPD post-war government made a deal with the devil in order to fend off the Communist revolt, and while they probably didn't specifically order her death, they must've been at least aware of the potential consequences of commissioning the help of the Freikorps.

ICE[edit]
I know my way around. You apparently don't. Please stop being utterly wrong regarding backpressure (needed on n/a engines, undesireable on supercharged engines) and get over it. ħuman 08:34, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- Forced induction engines need some backpressure to operate correctly. Especially turbos, as it is exhaust pressure, after all, which spools the turbo. You might "know your way around" but I spent a large portion of my life building 1000+ horsepower engines for tractor pulling. UncleHo (talk) 08:36, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- The pressure differential is what drives a turbo. IE, as little as possible after the turbine. You are simply wrong. ħuman 08:48, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- I was talking about the pressure of the entire system. You want some manifold pressure for a forced induction system, while the rest should be free of restriction (To a point, anyway. I could go deeper into tuning issues, but I'll spare you the Corky Bell routine.)UncleHo (talk) 01:52, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Please don't post about how electronics works until you know enough not to claim that diodes amplify or that high impedance means high power draw - David Gerard (talk) 11:33, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

"#12 AWG copper stranded wire (The kind found in most electronic devices)" You're a fucking loon, right? Seriously, did you type that and expect to be taken seriously? ħuman 06:01, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

- Being a lineman is indeed a respected profession, and one for which one must have a good electrical knowledge - but it is a very different field of knowledge to that of the electronics used in HiFi amplifiers. Diodes don't amplify. There are no voltage multipliers used in a HiFi amp. Power flow is an incorrect term, what actually flows is current. Oh and Huw; impedance is not resistance, reactance and capacitance combined, but rather resistance and reactance combined (the reactance being inductive, capacative or both, depending on the circuit.)

- The cable on my Audio-Technicas is #12 stranded copper. Besides, even if the cable is larger, the basic idea that the cable's resistance is tiny and not worth worrying about still applies. For home wiring, you're not going to have enough of a run to make any significant difference in sound quality. That's what I was trying to stress, and use some math to drive it home.UncleHo (talk) 18:57, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
- Home wiring is almost always solid, not stranded. But, yeah, these days the standard is 12 awg on 20 amp breakers. ħuman 22:11, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
- I was talking home AUDIO wiring, not home electric wiring. I've never seen solid audio wiring. I really do think we should have some sort of math in there showing how insignificant the resistance across the cable for your average audio run would be, instead of just saying "IT'S TRUE BECAUSE WE SAY SO OK?"UncleHo (talk) 23:14, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
- Then why didn't you write "speaker wire", since that's what you are talking about? And it varies from 22 awg to easily as high as 8 awg. There is no "most common" size. You also seemed to have missed the solid speaker wire (and interconnect) thing, I don't know if people still do it though. There are many tables I've seen out there listing the series resistance of various length runs and gauges, along with discussions of the ratio to speaker impedance and the effect on amplifier damping factor. ħuman 00:00, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
- Even if the wire was #8, it still has an insignificant amount of resistance compared to the internal resistance of the components, so cutting length out of the wire run does nothing for your home application. If you have tables about this, why not post them? It would help clarify things. If we want to be intellectual around here, we can't just say things are true because WE said it. Evidence is always helpful.UncleHo (talk) 02:44, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
- Wire always has some impedance. One could say #18 is fine for home use, but in modern homes there is often a rack of gear in the basement servicing the entire building and wire runs could easily be well over 100 feet. Now, that's not going to matter much in a room with no more that some cheap in-wall speakers perhaps with a manual volume pot, but for high quality sound it will have an effect. Sorry, I didn't bookmark the article I refer to, but it's easy enough to calculate the series resistance of a given gauge of wire and then determine at what length it hits, say, 1/2 ohm or some other arbitrary point where it starts to act as a frequency-dependent filter due to the speaker's non-linear impedance. If I come across it again, though, I'll post a link here for you. ħuman 19:22, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- Man, what sort of rich people do you work with, having entire racks of high-end audio equipment, and hundreds of feet of runs? I could see that for commercial sound, but for home, that would be one hell of a system.UncleHo (talk) 19:25, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

By the way, in my building, I have 11 channels of amplification and 23 speakers, with all but two of each (the ones attached to my office computer) capable of using the same source. http://www.humanspeakers.com/images/mygear.gif is still fairly accurate. Oh, and this ignores the two crappy powered speakers I got at the dump for my flaptop. This provides for sound in five different rooms, and video in three. With IR remote repeaters and a handful of extra basic remotes for my main receiver that also control several other components, I can control just about everything from anywhere. ħuman 19:47, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

The big Magnavox TV's cost dwarfs any others. Most of the studio gear was bought used as well, except for a couple of patch bays and most of the cables. ħuman 21:41, 11 September 2010 (UTC

- Is that huge proof of Asatru being racist? Yes? Heh. Clearly, our Asatru isn't like all the others and is NOT RACIST (racist as fuck) and you should leave him alone! Stop bending over for LX. I have MORE than proven his bullshit religion is warmed over Nazism, and you refuse to believe me. I suspect that even if I posted a picture of LX holding a sign saying "I AM LX! HEIL HITLER! 14/88!" with a huge swastika tattoo, you wouldn't believe it.UncleHo (talk) 07:44, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not bending over for LX. I don't agree with him on many things, and I don't particularly like him (he can be almost as bad as you when it comes to communism, but at least he can stay civil). The point you're failing to get is that people will side with LX even if they don't like him very much simply because you are a raging asshole. -- Nx / talk 08:11, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
- From your very first link: "While members of the White Order of Thule practice a form of Odinism or Asatru, only a few followers of these pagan beliefs are White supremacist neonazis." The page already talks about how asatru can be used for racist beliefs but isn't inherently racist, so I don't understand what your point is. ThunderkatzHo! 07:52, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

"While members of the White Order of Thule practice a form of Odinism or Asatru, only a few followers of these pagan beliefs are White supremacist neonazis." Reading through your sources, it becomes pretty clear that UncleHo hasn't read through them himself. One of the links might support what he is trying to say, but most of the links flat out refute his claim. UncleHo, I think I figured it out. You searched SPLC, and then after reading only the search summaries, decided the articles supported the fact that Asatru was inherently racist and copy/pasted them here. Good job.

- Must I point out that you retarded British fascists not only have massive ADD, but are apparently illiterate?UncleHo (talk) 08:19, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
- Not British, hopefully not a fascist, never been diagnosed with ADD, scored perfectly fine on the reading section of the SAT's. Here's what I read after reading your articles:
- "Note that Christianity, paganism, pantheism, Odinism, and the Nordic heroic warrior myths do not automatically intersect with either White supremacy or antisemitism." "While members of the White Order of Thule practice a form of Odinism or Asatru, only a few followers of these pagan beliefs are White supremacist neonazis." "What Klassen did was to pick up ideas from the theories of Nietzsche, pantheisim, Odinism, and Celtic paganism as filtered through German Nazi retelling of the Norse heroic warrior myths, to create a religion of Aryanist White supremacy. Discarding the details, he created a form of cosmotheism in which the supreme power is the collective will of the Aryan race." "There is a large amount of literature about Norse, Viking and other Nordic heroic warrior myths. None of this is necessarily linked to White supremacist racism or antisemitism." "Some authors have racialized these myths." "The [14 Words Press] press has promoted a racist version of the ancient Norse religion Asatru that Lane refers to as Wotansvolk. Asatru, often referred to as Odinism, incorporates the worship of Odin, Thor and other gods and goddesses and is not innately racist."
- "Looking for a pre-Christian European faith to claim, some skinheads began moving towards Viking paganism in the 1990s. Known as Asatrú or Odinism, after the Norse god Odin, this religion was based on ancestral worship and heroic battle. As in radical Islam, the way to heaven (Valhalla) was to die in combat for your tribe. Much to the dismay of non-racist Asatrú adherents, Odinists found many followers in prisons, where the faith is recognized as a legitimate religion. Racist skinhead groups, like Volksfront, used Odinism to refashion themselves as "cultural heritage organizations," not hate groups."
- "Asatrú (and Icelandic word meaning "belief in the Æesir," or gods) has been officially recognized as a religion in Iceland since 1972. Historically, its architects have avoided racist interpretations of its Eurocentric cosmology." "But in the United States, where insiders say 15 percent of Asatrúers follow an overtly racist version of the theology, a struggle is now going on for the hearts and minds of its followers." "Some 40 Websites are devoted to forms of Asatrú (most of them nonracist)."
- ""Most of the guys in EK are into Asatrú [a neo-pagan faith that is not fundamentally racist, but is practiced by some racists], but then we also have guys who are into Christian Identity [an anti-Semitic theology based on a bizarre reading of the Bible], so it varies," Kennedy said. "Overall it's about brotherhood. It's about blood, not religion.""
- "Others adhere to pre-Christian theologies like Odinism, Asatrú and other polytheistic pagan faiths." (That's actually the entirety of the Asatru mentions in that article).
- "Racist Asatrúand Odinist activists sometimes do this work, too." "Non-racist versions of Asatrú and Odinism are pretty much acceptable religions in the prisons. But again, if it is a racist version of these religions, then those materials may be prohibited. "
- "Racist versions of Odinism and its Icelandic cousin, Ásatrú — as opposed to the more widespread, nonracist versions — together form a world view that one expert calls "the most dynamic of all tendencies on the radical right.""
- "Odinism is a [20th century] racist reconstruction of pre-Christian, Norse pagan traditions that were generally called Asatrú." "An Asatrúer or an Odinist, racist or not, would never pray to a god." "There are really three positions: the militant racists, the nonracists and, in between, a third, "ethnic" position."
- "Yockey's influence also persists today among the growing number of practitioners of Odinism (see Pagans and Prison FIX LINK) — in particular, the Ásatrú Alliance, headquartered in Arizona — who seek to revive the pagan rituals of pre-Christian Nordic culture."
- "Gardell does address the tensions between racist and non-racist Norse paganism, as well as those who promote "ethnic Asatrú," or Norse paganism as an "ethnic religion" for people of northern European background. While generally claiming they are not racist, they have positions which lead many — including Gardell — to conclude that their beliefs are, in fact, racist."

What I see in all these sources is neo-Nazis taking Asatru and warping it into a racist version to fit their own needs. Nothing in any of these sources leads me to believe that Asatru is inherently racist. Racist interpretations of Asatru are already addressed in our article. You're a troll. Good night. ThunderkatzHo! 09:02, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
- What you see in the article is a few sentences, as most, mentioning the massive racism present in LX's religion, but apparently he could be a proud member of the Waffen SS and have "KILL ALL JEWS!" in his profile, yet you would not see any reason to mention the racism that is endemic (and mentioned in every single article there) because it would upset your white supremacist worldview!UncleHo (talk) 09:50, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

What Ace reckons...[edit]
I don't like LX - everyone, including LX, knows this. I think his religion is silly and absurd. Nonetheless I am fair in my opinions, LX has never betrayed a racist attitude nor professed any such prejudice against any subset of society (except for commies) so UncleHo should get the fuck of his case.

Death threat[edit]
Would you seriously kill LX if you had the opportunity? [4] Wouldn't you be afraid of going to prison? Do you think people deserve to die for saying "racist" or "fascist" things?
How about nepotists, as in people who give things to undeserving offspring, ignoring the needs of the rest of the people? This is similar to racism and it is much more common and socially acceptable these days. Do you think it is a dangerous philosophy that we are programed to do such things? (Donating money to one's offspring may seem to help one's genes survive.) ~ Lumenos (talk) 05:16, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
- Even now that I'm out of rehab, I still think racism is fucking disgusting and all racists should be sentenced to death. UncleHo (talk) 09:32, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
- Now, is LX a racist? People are judged by where they hang their hats. I am of the opinion that if one hangs their hat among white supremacists while screaming "NOT RACIST" they are both a racist and a coward.UncleHo (talk) 09:35, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
- When it comes to nepotism, remember that I am a revolutionary socialist. The bourgeoisie must be fought wherever they rear their ugly heads.UncleHo (talk) 09:45, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
- There is absolutely no evidence that LX is a racist. Just because some racists choose to twist Nordic or Germanic paganism to justify their racism, does not mean there is anything inherently racist about those forms of paganism. A lot of people have twisted Christianity to justify racism (once upon a time very common in the US South, not so common nowadays, but still exists in the form of Christian Identity and some forms of British Israelitism) — that doesn't make Christianity an inherently racist religion, nor does it mean that all Christians are racist.
- And I think advocating the death of anyone, racist or not, is absolutely reprehensible. Racism is not a good thing, but at the same time it is also a very natural human inclination. Rather than demonising racists — or even killing them, as you advocate — we should care for them as individuals and try to lead them into the light. In fact, advocating killing racists is worse than racism, since most racists don't actually support exterminating those they look down on, even if some do (and on certain regrettable occasions, those few who do manage to implement their plans.) (((Zack Martin)))™ 10:04, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
- Actually the KKK still uses Baptist churches in the south as a front these days. I'd also speculate that LX was a racist if he was a member of one of those, by the way. Anyway, take the white supremacist religion, add in the whole libertarian thing and, yeah, chances are good he's not terribly fond of us darkies. What you have to realize is that racism can often be subconscious. Just because someone isn't burning crosses or beating black people doesn't mean they can't be a racist.UncleHo (talk) 19:23, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
- Some Baptist churches in the US South may well be fronts for the KKK. But not all are. There are quite a few Baptist denominations in the Southern US with majority African-American membership. Among the historically white denominations, while some are very conservative (such as the well known SBC), others are more moderate/liberal (e.g. ABCUSA or CBF), so you'd expect them to be much less likely to harbour racists than the more conservative historically white groups. And even the SBC has plenty of non-white members - the racist Baptist churches tend to be independent or members of very small denominations. So your claim "member of Baptist church in US South" = "racist like the KKK" is demonstrably false. And if racism is subconscious, maybe you are a racist?

By the way, it still really annoys me how LX keeps the page on his little cult on lockdown so one can't even mention the bonafide hate groups that practice his "religion." The same people who tear Christianity and Islam to shreds are forced to write a positive article about some garbage neopaganism because big brother is always watching.UncleHo (talk) 19:33, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
- Have you seen the Asatru article? There are something like 10+ paragraphs in there that mention the presence of racists in Norse Neo-Paganism. If "Big brother" LX is keeping that page on lockdown, he isn't doing a very good job. (((Zack Martin)))™ 08:48, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
- Every single religion in the world has its crazy racist followers, how is Asatru different? The reason they arent mentioned as often as the racist elements of Christianity and Islam is because Asatru is a much smaller religion with an even smaller group within that small group who are neo-nazis, its to the point that while its notable it isnt worth getting in to much of a huff. — Unsigned, by: 69.120.86.245 / talk / contribs 07:34, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
