Twitter C/D

i like when people who have like 200 followers and but still mention the company they work for are like "all views my own" as if it's going to be on the front page of the paper that a product manager at massive media said they were in two minds about bombing syria, while taking a shit.

of one mind about bombing the bowl

decent pathos to those ones that have "sometimes blogs on someofmythoughts.blogspot.com"

the "follower of christ" or "christ-follower" or whatever thing instead of just saying "christian" is the worst evangelical-to-twitter-bio thingy

botherer of god

have all this innocuous stuff in yr bio, picture of your baby as your picture, and then spew hatred at ppl who express political thoughts you dislike

botherer of god

this made me laugh so much i wish i could use it

this construction seems to be weirdly popular in people's social media or tinder biogs - like "lover of gin", "drinker of tea" etc. i guess this kinda thing is low level viral, like warts.

it's all a deeply submerged nod to "kicker of elves"

Brb adding kicker of elves to my profile.

when famous ppl who dont really understand twitter get on there and fight with everyone and look foolish is one of the best things about the platform

like i have no idea what hes talking abt dont follow him was just making fun of saying ad homs

remember when glenn greenwald used to respond to everyone who made fun of him lmao

ppl have a thing about respect, like hey, this rapscallion disrespected me, as did these 13 other rapscallions that followed, i will have satisfaction and the last word with all of them

ya lol its like exactly the opposite of what they shd do

attempting to school him

lol

fighting the good fight

jeffrey wright used to get into fights with randos

most celebs who do that seem to constantly find themselves posting a string of "enough for one night, some real morons out there, as per usual" type tweets, circa midnight, every few weeks.

slightly lesser celebrity but the golfer, lee westwood, had a memorable meltdown after getting abuse for playing a terrible round.

The parent humblebrag thing is so common - seems more so with fathers than mothers tho.

kind of diff genre but let's not forget that james woods sued a twitter for calling him a cokehead

Twitter-dad humblebrag, succinctly: MY SEED, IT WORKS.

whole lotta ad homs on twitter

love RT ad homs, to endorse them

ime people who whine about ad hominem arguments are annoying nerds who assume twitter is their own personal debate club

like to expand that to ppl who complain abt all sorts of fallacies and say i wld beat them up

its funny too cause twitter is terrible for srs reasoned debate cause theres not enough words and ppl just end up totally misunderstanding each other

i searched twitter once for ppl using the phrase 'logical fallacy' and gamergate hashtags and printed them all out and made a collage of them

im really fascinated by the currency that 'logic' has amongst fringe right-wing ideologues on-line, the need for governing authority or w/e

Love twitter. Can not understand people who get into beefs and arguments on the thing. It's like yelling at someone in a passing car.

i've posted plenty about the weird 'logic/emotion' binary these ppl are obsessed with, it's usually to complain that others make decisions or have stances based on 'emotion' (often women)

really it's ironic because the ppl who say this are big whiny babies

well, when someone is going on about how logical and rational they are being...reach for your gun, as the saying goes.

i guess that's maybe a different species from libertarians who are all "i'm just going to analyze this from first principles, why hasn't anyone ever done that before" - just as ugh

the appeal to logic, the primacy of 'critical thinking', the desire for 'objectivity' are all interesting parts of neo-reactionary discourse on-line. the emotions are for girls/the weak thing is part of it, the gameifiction approach to life, general silicon valley life as optimization puzzle stuff leads to the desire for a concrete, solvable method of arguing? also just the general fear of ambiguity, uncertainty, complexity (particularly verbal complexity).

i've posted plenty about the weird 'logic/emotion' binary these ppl are obsessed with, it's usually to complain that others make decisions or have stances based on 'emotion' (often women)

i see this, but like, lots of really moronic viewpoints are illogical, eg patriotism, religious zealotry or whatever, logic is important.

like p much all arguments ever involve someone saying "that doesn't make any sense..."

critical thinking skills are important, "logic" less so

their versions of 'logic' and 'emotion' or w/e have nothing to do with the actual concepts

Yeah but some issues require knowing actual facts about the world to reason well. MRAs etc lecturing about logical fallacies tend to avoid learning about the experiences of other people.
