Do newspapers lead to pandering?

the video game thing isn't really getting a ton of traction as far as I can tell.

if it leads to the banning of WOW, let it get a little traction

eh, the military uses video games as kill training. comes as no surprise that they might also help psychos hone similar skills. this doesn't mean that they're evil or should be banned, but i won't pretend to be *shocked* when people draw those conclusions.

i was saying the other day that the thing that breivik and derb and all these super arch reactionary paleo conservative racists have in common is that they seem to have been beaten up a lot in high school and rejected by girls

by that reasoning I should be a super arch reactionary paleo conservative racist

in my case it was the super arch reactionary paleo conservative racists doing the beating/rejecting

did derb ever talk about getting bullied or beaten up as a kid? idk i'm always a little suspicions of a-to-b stories like that tbh

certainly do feel like there's a connected phenomena of above-avg intelligence and waaay-below-avg ability to understand other people that leads certain dudes to extreme politics & simplistic solutions -- nobody likes me, everyone is so stupid, nobody can see the truth, everything is so corrupt and nobody understands

goole otm, but that kind of alienation can lead people off in all sorts of directions. i mean, i was one of those guys and in many ways still am. i just sought solace in different things.

yeah i'm wary of making that connection too, for reasons goole explained. almost a form of bullying itself

it's almost frustrating that on account of his extreme actions it's become so much of an understatement to point out that this guy is such a stupid dick.

There's always a temptation to look at someone who creates an elaborate and internally consistent narrative to explain the world and conclude that this is a sign of high intelligence. The difficulty is that it is easy to create an elaborate narrative, if you're allowed to discard or ignore the majority of reality, substituting fantasy wherever you wish. Children aged five are easily able to do this.

also i think there's broad consensus that intelligence in terms of a one-dimensional quantity (like IQ) is an outmoded concept anyway but that's a different thread

id guess he has a reasonably high iq but is evidently a total bawheid who would struggle to hold down a job in a hardware store

the notion that this particular boring psycho deserves execution as opposed to all the other child rapists and serial murderers who don't is pretty specious and self regarding
some ppl jumping on his skull every now and then would probably be deserved

as i understand it he's kept in a 3 room cell with its own gym and "library" just to prevent fellow inmates from maiming him. a shame imo.

not that i'm going to jump on the "execute him" side of the debate here or anything, but given the scale and his total lack of awareness i can 100% understand why this particular case might test people's beliefs, as opposed to just any "other" child rapist or murderer
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 23 April 2012 18:54 (1 year ago) Permalink
the 'total lack of awareness' is something of a mitigation, since it suggests a cognitive deficit not present in all of those serial killers who justify their acts as wilful pleasure-seeking
some of the things he says are total challops and it's natural to wish ill on him, but it's facile to pretend he alone deserves to be a recipient of lethal state violence

i don't think he deserves to die at all. i think it would be both just and rich for him to be dealt with in the manner that norwegians have designed without exception

yah it's best that he understand that however much he tries everyone's patience, he deserves no more special consideration than the dude who just beat his wife to death jerking off in the next cell

I could wish death on him by teh State or by a vengeful relative of one of his victims if I didn't feel like it would legitimize his use of killing. He's a complete and utter fool, imho, and life in a mental hopsital, a high-security mental hospital will do quite nicely.

anwyay i've already had a bad experience on this board being an apologist for theories of retributive justice, and since i don't actually support the death penalty i should probably just shut up about it already
