Long post ahead, possibly interesting for anyone who has had disagreements with SJWs (about any topic) and is interested in possible explanations of why consensus failed completely:
Since there have been a great number of clashes between SJWs and comparatively rational people on the internet in recent times, I've been trying to dig deeper and find out why one can't reason with a SJW and where their immunity to basic logic stems from - in detail. Why dig deeper? Because simply saying "they're dumb and gtfo" isn't satisfactory, I'd like to get to the bottom of it all.
It dawned upon me that there isn't much sense in simply addressing and correcting all the statements point by point as I would do in a regular debate because that would at the very most be fighting symptoms of the problem, not the root cause and is only creating an infinite loop, kinda like in computer programming. It would indeed be like trying to prove one isn't a camel, in Groundhog Day style. Every day the same, again and again - it would get boring quickly.
So I tried to figure out what that root cause could be. A couple weeks ago, I mentioned that I suspected you of being afflicted by narcissist personality disorder but it was more of an intuitive hunch without in-depth analysis, I didn't really know that much about the disorder. Almost nothing, to be precise. This psychology stuff is admittedly only a side interest of mine but it's quite a fascinating field of study. Learning more as I go!
Just had an epiphany while reading through your long post above and then comparing it to the following article:
http://thenarcissisticlife.com/the-narcissist-out-of-control/
In your last post, one can find an uncanny amount of parallels with that article, almost a perfect fit to the situation at hand.
A while ago, brasas said he "loves us both" and hates to see you and me argue, a statement we can't verify but lets take it at face value as there is no evidence to the contrary. Unwittingly, brasas' declaration of affection was taken by you as the biggest insult possible because if you hate me, and someone holds you and me in the same regard, well...you get the idea.
As a result, brasas must now be "punished" for failing to comply to your control. By comparing yourself to "the Jews" and me to "Hitler" in your post, you've drawn out a map that is so clear cut that even a dummy can follow it and has to do so or morally fail (or so you believe).
It's not just about control though, as stated in the article:
"The narcissist’s obsessive desire for control is actually not about control for control’s sake; it is essentially a defense against the risk of receiving a “narcissistic injury” (a blow to the ego or self-esteem). "
In order to avoid the aforementioned narcissistic injury, narcissists have a strong urge to control others. You have openly admitted that you want to see people with opinions such as mine publicly shunned, banned even. Without ever asking me what exactly my positions are and why I think the way I think, all that didn't matter.
I used to think it's about politics but from this new angle I can see that it might very well be about compulsive control as explained in this excerpt:
"He sees other people in his environment – at home, at work, friends, relatives and neighbors – as extensions of himself. He sees himself at the center of the world- the controller, an idol to be adored and admired;
in his mind this makes it acceptable for him to control and abuse others. He continually tries to rearrange the ‘others’ in his life to look toward only him and admire him. An expert in knowing best how things should turn out and how people should behave, the narcissist tries to control them."
This explains why you find it OK to use a barrage of insult words without realizing the near comical effect it has. I did laugh at your post at first but now that I analyze this from a new angle, I'm trying to be a little less goofy about things (not completely ungoofy though - I reserve the right to basic goofiness) and I understand why you appear to be oblivious about the tone of your posts and see no moral wrongdoing in it, no matter how crude the language. The strong rage is explained by the author of the article as "narcisstic rage" resulting from loss of control:
"If he loses control of others he will fail to find Narcissistic Supply sources, just like a drug addict that can’t find any drugs. This precipitates a narcissistic crisis. The narcissist becomes more desperate and more compulsive in looking for his drug. The more he fails, the more he is hurt and expresses his emotional turmoil by acting out (not uncommonly with ‘narcissistic rage’)."
Could also explain why you started on me in the Switzerland birthday thread as well as here, without me poking fun at you first.
Ok, so what is the constructive conclusion of all this psychobabble? I do realize that I sometimes have the subtlety of someone stepping into a dog food tray and saying "oops mesa step into dog food, o-ho!" when I put things and people on the spot like that.
Someone recently said that this lack of tact on my part might be Asperger's so I took a few online tests, they turned out negative though so I can't use that as an excuse (damn). I'm just a little straightforward, to a point where you inadvertently must think that I'm absolutely messing with you. I'm really interested in figuring out the truth though, non-trolling pinkyswear.
The problem is that I have absolutely no idea about how to fix narcissism - that is above my paygrade. I can only brainstorm (despite having no brain as you said) and point you in a possible direction, you still have to get the help yourself.
Why the interest in your welfare you might ask? Well, you used to be more fun 1+ years ago. Haven't seen you explode back then like in recent times, that is a new development of the past couple months. You can be like the old you again.
I'm fully aware of how absurd this post will be taken by you. Don't shoot the messenger and don't forget, you can't poison others without poisoning yourself. The damage to yourself will accumulate over time, please take that into account.
If I keep my mouth shut about politics, you would surely agree to behave. But I can't promise you that, besides it wouldn't help if we all collectively avoid setting off your triggers. A much better way is for you to introspect and ask yourself why you're -really- exploding this much and instead of blaming the unruly awalterj turdguru (I made up that one!) and his conspiratory shitminions, why not try to look at things more abstracted from names and specific people and find out how you can change to not be so easily irritable in the future.
