like "lynch" basically gets the swastika treatment. It was a Hindu symbol with no negative connotations to until Hitler abused it and ruined it for us all. Lynch is the same way, its just vig "justice" without a trail but the KKK ruined it so yea...Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Ok but you do agree that we shouldn't be using swastikas now, right?In post 725, Nero Cain wrote:like "lynch" basically gets the swastika treatment.

I think a lot of people are kinda missing my point but oh wellOf all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

That's the point then! We all know the origin of lynch, but we also know what it has turned into for some people (because yes, it's a word that doesn't affect everyone. Certainly not me, a latinamerican that doesn't even speak english in a daily basis). So let's not use lynch because out of respect of those people."Your intentions are not defined by how things went, but how things could've gone." (Ball, 2019)- Nero Cain

Is your point that some people are implying that lynching has only a connotation towards black people and denies the origin of the word?

Lol people need to not over react so much.
Yes people can take authority to an extent.
But people are overreacting.
If that’s the site rule so be it I’m just saying people are taking things so heavily.
I do and always have believed in equality but nothing beyond that point that people seem to go across.
Once you go past that you will brake boundaries and set limitation to something that will only hurt in the long run.
Look at it this way.
There is no higher being as there is no lower being
Humans/Aliens/Animal Evolutions/Robots are no different from one another.
Everyone is but a single deity in this world. What each individual does is up to them and as such can cause distress to other individuals then someone needs to prevent that and so on so forth.
Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that certain stuff doesn’t or isn’t meant to refer to other stuff but anything related to it gets punished which is questionable.
An example is EVERY SINGLE TIME something bad happens with someone doing something and being banned or something.
Like I remember recently someone left a clan.
And what PEOPLE FUCKIN DO THAT’S STUPID is they over react and make things more then what they actually are.
They said the “20” year old dated a “13” year old girl which was false.
But people fuckin believe that BS.
What actually happened was this guy would always support his fans because they pay allot to see him.
And he’s NOT TRYING TO BE RUDE TO THEM LIKE HALF THE PEOPLE I FUCKIN SEE.
So he sends pictures of himself or something like that to his fans.
Well, one of his fans asks to kiss him and she was “13” and he did because he respects his fans and it’s nothing actually serious.
But people make it look more then it actually is.
I’m sick of the shit people do TBH.
Anywho so be it I’ll just use the word “Jettison” from now on, on this site.
No biggy. Just thought I’d express my thoughts on how I don’t get half of the fuckin earth logic.Last edited by TrueSoulEnergy on Tue Jun 30, 2020 7:22 pm, edited 1 time in total.- Umlaut

Kind of seems like people are imputing opinions to Nero that he hasn't expressed, because he had a quibble regarding the details of the word's historical origin“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs- scotmany12
