Men’s Rights subreddit regular Demonspawn (remember him?) is back again with some deliberately vague but definitely threatening talk about judges and politicians:
Not a lot of “plausible deniability” here, though I am sure various MRAs will try to excuse this as not being what it obviously is: a threat of violence against judges, politicians and others who work for the government.
He’s done this before; I wrote about it here.
And while we’re on the topic of Demonspawn, here’s a little followup comment of his from the thread we discussed the other day. It’s a giant wall of text, I know, but it contains gems like: “When women mouth off to men and get their faces bashed in, they’ll know equality.” At least this comment of his got as many downvotes as upvotes.
I’m banned from the Men’s Rights subreddit, of course, but Demonspawn, despite repeatedly violating the subreddit’s rules about posting comments advocating violence, continues to post away. See his comment history for more lovely thoughts on, among other things, why women are parasites who don’t deserve the vote.
@aworldblah – “Actually a lot of the teachings from the Old Testament are upheld quite heavily in the new testament, sorry bro, but you’re outmatched on this one, sure Jesus created the “New Covenant” and changed a few rules, but a lot of the core shit is still there, I distinctly remember being a good little Christian boy going to church every Sunday, and noticing how much of the New Testament stuff that they overtly obfuscate.”
^there you go, those last two exact words. Modern Xtians generally shy away from the shitty bits. Totalitarian theocrats embrace those shitty bits. In the UK our Xtians are currently mostly of the milksop variety.
Nah, bro, just the ones who say and do stupid racist shit. I mean, granted, that’s an awful lot of people, but you’re still part of a large-but-not-universal group of douches.
Unintended consequences? First tinfoil hatter I’ve met that actually believes such things exist. I thought everything was planned by… THEM!
@Gametime – just put down the crack pipe and step away from the keyboard now.
@pillowinhell – a stepdad is NOT your father.
Oh really Joe? Not even when the stepdad is more involved, caring and loving than the biological father? I think you’ll find a fair bit of disagreement on that.
On behalf of all the good stepfathers in the world who’ve ever taken very good care of their stepchildren and generally been awesome people – you officially just lost any shred of credibility you had left.
My father was raised by his mother and stepdad, after his biological father died in WWII. My Dad thought of his stepdad as his father, and I thought of him as my grandfather. Jesus, my brother just named his first son after the old guy.
In short, fuck you, Joe. You don’t get to decide how other peoples’ families function.
Hey, my first blockquote fail.
Also, the fact that you think a simple few lines of code designed to filter, sort, and catalogue votes could become self-aware indicates heavily that you know absolutely fuck all about programming. Also, ideally, the software would be an open source model created as a collaborative effort. Server maintenance doesn’t really give you much power over the system itself, etc. etc. Basically I have thought this through, I just can’t be assed to tell a shitty concern troll on a website that I’m a fairly recent regular commenter the whole story of how I think it ought to work.
@pillowinhell and others – absolutely a good stepdad is better than an evil father, and a good stepdad is definitely better than no Dad at all, however my first remark was made in context of a good father pushed out of the family home and away from his kids against his will.
Further, if you look at the stats, mother’s boyfriends are more likely to harm kids than their own father is.
@aworldindelusion – “a few simple lines of code” does NOT = AI. Pick one and stick to it.
Also, as electronic voting machines have been shown to be hacked in all kinds of ways, I say your idea adds up to global tyranny by a small elite of programmers.
@aworldfail – I referred to modern Xtians in the UK. Clearly, US Xtians are much more virulent.
You’re thinking of General AI, I’m thinking of shit on the level of what you see in videogames. And there are ways of keeping a small elite of programmers out of the system.
@Sir whatevs – Oh look, you can be serious.
@aworldanon – and who exactly is in charge of keeping those programmers out of the system? would that be other people? Or other AIs? Because the same problems then apply to those people or systems.
Do you know what an inifinit recursion is? Your “global system” and its safeguards are shaping up to be one.
Unintended Consequences again.
About what? I made like eighty jokes and said two serious things. Be specific
“infinite”
Typos!
On which note. Enough.
Joe, I can say exactly the same thing for your ideal tribal system, what if one tribe decides they want another’s land. What if one person from one group suddenly snaps and kills everyone. In a pure Libertarian society there are no safeguards against that kind of thing.
Unintended Consequences.
And yes, I’m well aware of the tu quoque fallacy, I’m using this point to illustrate that no system is perfect, it all comes down to human error, every single time. And right now, a posthuman system is looking better to me than anything else.
I like how Joe is perfectly willing to cite U.S. statistics when he wants to whine about “male disposability,” but the moment someone points out recurring instances of Christian violence he’s all “OH WELL I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY.”
Yeah, Joe, stop calling Islam fascist. Fascist, like racist, is another slur that only progressives can wield.
@scrapemind
As I said before, Fascism is a legitimate political party, not one I agree with mind you, but it’s not just a word that you can throw at things you don’t like and hope it sticks.
The judiciary openly recommend discriminating against men:

I lost my sex discrimination case on a technicality – owning a penis in a court of law.
Douchetrelle here though, chooses to see the smaller picture as usual, that some guys get pissed off, angry, and even violent – Douchetrelle wants to suck up to the anti-male legal establishment every time someone says boo to them.
I hate to feminize the enemy, but what a cunt!
