The Swing of the Pendulum

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Beats sitting around here and crying about the election and crying about the people crying about the election.

It could be that I have my chronology confused, but wasn't your first post here titled "Protesters are assholes"? That seems oddly similar to "crying about the people crying about the election," but I guess the good news is that ecofascism is there to provide an alternate approach to saving humanity from themselves, eh?

Crying is pretty much the only thing he's done. That and accusing people of being paralyzed by fear.

It never fails to amuse when some kid shows up and is all "WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE DO SOMETHING IRL?"

Like they never heard of KYFMS.

I'm not sure he is a kid.  That it's a "he" and not a "she," or possibly a "they," is indisputable, but he reminds me a lot of the monkey's dad.  Self-centered, a lack of empathy (and proud of it), utterly convinced that he is not in the wrong, quick to loudly ignore and villify anyone who finds their repulsive ideas stupid and laughable.  These traits cross all demographics, of course, but they're more common among the older generations, I've noticed.

Also claims to be a Discordian for a decade.  I'm not sure where I'd put the average age when someone finds out about Discordia, but I'd lay a bet (I should stake one in Junk's thread) it's over 18, if not mid-20's.

That too.  Is there a name for that?  I feel like that's an appeal to something or other, saying "I've been x for y, therefore I know more than you!"

Also also, all this and then he claims he was lying when he wasn't here for friends, and the apology for his heel-digging came so late, it'll be amazing if he stays long enough to live it down.

It's a variation of appeal to authority, using experience/time as the metric.

Kind of like how most subcultures have older people shit on initiates because they're Old skool and these kids just didn't see the scene at it's height.

Makes sense.

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if he is some uneducated sheltered 30-something still stuck in the mentality of his early 20's. He clearly is under the impression that he's the only thinking person in a world of sheep, just like every other sheltered uneducated armchair political analyst.

I know a ton of people who discovered in in high school or shortly thereafter.

I'm really scared there's historical precedence that a government such as has been elected will pass legislation that will limit, roll back, limit, and prevent the human and civil rights of much of my friends and family.

I know right? Who the hell does Trump think he is, Obama?
