Well, of course, I've seen people ranting on the Internet about such things, but it doesn't seem particularly relevant to anything I've experienced in real life... Perhaps Canada and New Zealand are special...

Its one of many ways. Basically the alt-right and the alt-left each have a group of mutually opposed buzzwords that they identify as the key area from which "the degeneracy" originates. Other mutually opposed buzzwords I could have used were "racists" and "race-baiters". They are many more.retrofuturist wrote: ↑Wed Apr 11, 2018 11:17 am Greetings Coëmgenu,
Interesting...
So based on your post here, where you insist I am "alt-right" and in this post you say "How do you tell if someone is an alt-righter? They talk about the wicked system (gynocentrism) that is destroying us."
So... are you alleging that I'm saying "gynocentrism is destroying us"?

This is your usual MO. We've had discussions about identity politics here in the past before.retrofuturist wrote: ↑Wed Apr 11, 2018 11:33 am Greetings Coëmgenu,
By & large, Coëmgenu, this world is supported by (takes as its object) a polarity, that of this identity & that identity. But when one sees the origination of the world as it actually is with right discernment, 'this identity' with reference to the world does not occur to one. When one sees the cessation of the world as it actually is with right discernment, 'that identity' with reference to the world does not occur to one.
By & large, Coëmgenu, this world is in bondage to attachments, clingings (sustenances), & biases. But one such as this does not get involved with or cling to these attachments, clingings, fixations of awareness, biases, or obsessions; nor is he resolved on 'my self.' He has no uncertainty or doubt that just stress, when arising, is arising; stress, when passing away, is passing away. In this, his knowledge is independent of others. It's to this extent, Coëmgenu, that there is right view.
This identity: That is one extreme. ' That identity': That is a second extreme. Avoiding these two extremes, the truth is understood via the middle...
It is saying that this is the truth, Right View. Why would I willingly accept an ideology which deviates in such a way from Right View?
Thats a rather nasty trick. My post was not off topic.
Since this is being considered off-topic, I figure it may be a service to the forum to contextualize it.
No it's not. I'm allowed to refute false allegations made against me, as well as misrepresentations of my views... and so are you. You're merely fortunate that you cast such aspersions here rather than in the News section...

This is a nasty trick, as I've said before. These posts are not off topic. We're having a conversation about exactly what the OP is about.retrofuturist wrote: ↑Wed Apr 11, 2018 11:56 am Greetings Coëmgenu,

I'm not upset, and in fact, I find your insolence mildly entertaining. That said, I am genuinely disappointed at your ongoing failures to abide by all manner of aspects of the Terms of Service.
