Hope and Bitterness
04 01 12 - 21:06
Unlike any other web site in the universe, ANUS drives people into flaming rages.They try to hide this fact behind a world-weary sense of criticism, an "enlightened" tisk-tisking over how immature we are, or even pretended boredom coupled with a desire to "take these egomaniacs down a notch."
There's only one problem... there have been many of them, and despite all of the above excuses, they have exhibited the same behavior: a pathological and impotent rage that we exist, and a desire to pursue us (personally) with insults, copypasta dogma, repeated plaintive excuses, and so on.
We drive them mad because we admit it all. We admit the emptiness of life, the stupidity of most people, the horror that lies within. We are nihilists and death metal maniacs. And yet we believe in live. We have hope, not of someone else saving our asses, but that with a little logic, hard work and gumption, we can make just about anything turn out just great. And that life is worth living and should be a joyful, brilliant, celebrated and excellent experience.
That viewpoint alone brings out the smouldering bitterness. From the dark corners of the world where they lurk forgot, confined in some career and family life that no matter how "good" on the surface does not meet their needs, with their own egos unfulfilled and singed by that same dark envy, they come to seek us out. They mean to do harm, with their words. They call us stupid, ignorant, whatever. The message doesn't matter; the medium is the message, and the medium is that they're here and making up whatever excuses they feel they need in order to keep attacking us.
Because we drive them mad.
We drive them mad because we don't accept their negative view of the world, their lie-back-and-enjoy-it fatalism, or their rage that someone somewhere might be having a good time despite knowing all the things they fear.
We will always drive them mad, and the best part is that we don't intend to. Our goal is not to have enemies but to make clarity of thoughts. For us, it is never personal. For our detractors, we are a personal insult to them... even though we don't care about them and are most likely oblivious to their existence.
Ask yourselves:
If you believe in free thought, why is it that our thoughts upset you so much you make it a personal crusade to repeat the same tired arguments wherever you can?
If you believe we are so obviously wrong, why the evangelical missions here?
If you believe you're above it all, why do you lash out uncontrollably when we appear?
You're used to nice easy strawmen. Us-team versus Them-team. And then there's this troubling group of nihilists. They just breeze past it all. They don't play your game and join you in futile bitterness.
That must really piss you off.
...not my problem.

Yet you haven't made anything turn out great. This sites been in existence for two decades yet no "hope and change" has come about from your beliefs. The reason why is because your views are too radical. You can't really enact these views to modern politics because no one gives a shit. The only ones that might are trollskys' who can't leave their homes let alone their own computers.
In the end, you're the angry one who wants to kill all liberals but want to first, negogiate with them to open their eyes to their own "stupidity". Then you want them to agree that they're stupid and deserve to die. That's not going to work.
I know you don't care Brett aka Vijay Prozak but at least you read others' concerns and what they think about you and your site. Brett Stevens little anus - 05-01-’12 05:48

You admit it all? Everything except the one thing to which the word "admit" usually applies, THAT YOU MIGHT BE WRONG. This is someone that every responsible thinker admits.
"but that with a little logic,"
yet to see it.
"We drive them mad because we don't accept their negative view of the world,"
No, you have your own negative view of the world.
"If you believe in free thought, why is it that our thoughts upset you so much you make it a personal crusade to repeat the same tired arguments wherever you can?"
That's exactly what a person who believes in free thought rationally does. They don't question your right to say what you're saying, but exercise their right to argue against it as well.
"If you believe we are so obviously wrong, why the evangelical missions here?"
Why not?
"They don't play your game and join you in futile bitterness."
You guys seem pretty damn bitter to me. Yes I know it's old, I don't care. - 19-01-’12 09:58
