A few months back, I was on a Discord channel when the subject of pornography came up. Basically, the owner and many of his followers thought that pornography was protected by the First Amendment. I forget how exactly the subject came up, but I took the opportunity to disagree with him.
And many people who I’ve interacted with on the Internet can tell you that my disagreements tend to more than gentle. I argued that pornography was illegal until the 1970s when the Boomers came of age and decided that it is a form of free speech. So I flat out told them that they are following Boomer logic and that they are Boomer Cucks.
I know, I can be a right bastard. I make no excuses for it. But reason and logic fails pretty much everyone on the Internet space, so I tend to dispense with the “reasonable” debate tactics fairly quickly. Experience has taught me that no amount of “reasoning” on the Internet will educate fools. I should’ve paid closer attention to King Solomon’s Proverbs. It would’ve saved me a lot of typing.
Anyhow, seeing as how the vast majority of the people on this Discord channel were Millenials who hated their Boomer parents, they for some reason didn’t like being called Boomer Cucks. Sometimes my tongue is too sharp for my own good. Most of the time, I’m a fool though.
At one point, the owner called me a “Smooth-brained Owen fan”. This was in reference to me previously defending Owen Benjamin in his social media circles as he mocked and ridiculed him, mostly based on what other people said about him. Again, I was engaging in reason and logic at the time and it slipped my mind that most people are fools, including me.
On a slight side note, I have never been a “Bear” nor have I contributed to “Beartaria” in any way. The most I could say is that I’ve subscribed to Unauthorized.TV but even then I don’t listen to Owen Benjamin anymore. That’s probably a topic for another time.
In any case, once I had been “outed” as an “Owen Benjamin” supporter, it was time for some of the other guys to chime in and this is where things got weird.
Because now my faith was being called into question. I was literally asked who Jesus was to me. Yes, someone was witch-testing me for essentially saying that pornography isn’t free speech. I, of course, passed the witch-test (or failed it?).
After which, I did demand to know what political speech you were making with pornography. That is the purpose of the First Amendment, after all. It wasn’t to allow a free-for-all, but to protect individual citizens from retaliation for political speech. Naturally, I only got absurd answers about actors pretending to be various political figures while performing vile acts with each other.
It was clear at that point I had the stronger position and I was done with them. I haven’t gone back to the channel in a long time now, and I will probably leave it soon enough. It’s kind of sad really, but I think it’s been made clear that I am not welcome there.
The sad thing is, it was a community I enjoyed being a part of online. But I suppose, like all Internet communities, it was never to be a long-standing part of my life.
But they are all Boomer Cucks, after all, and they cry out to not touch their “free speech” as they touch themselves furiously and without remorse. I guess that’s one of the most damaging legacies of the Boomers, next to the Ponzi scheme that is the housing market.
On another side note, I know that Jon Del Arroz joined that channel as well, however, I don’t believe he was active on it. He’s a busy man, after all.
