i said that FTV was good in the sense that it was better than doing nothing, and that i supported it as a tactic against its detractors for precisely that reason. but some succ zone posters, unhappy to end an argument with mere agreement, flamed me for what i can only assume is for not stating my agreement angrily enough, or something

the brilliant maneuver was to force congress to tell the american people in no uncertain terms that they don't matter, something that has never been done before

it is fine to have a nuanced take like this as long as you are supportive of the rhetorical tactic of *checks notes* demanding popular things

the succ zone culture of being performatively angry all the time was really really exhausting to trawl through, even as someone who agreed with the politics. also most of the time the performative anger was directed against nebulous forums enemies instead of, you know, things that actually matter

so how was taintrunner not run out of here long before now given how many posters are tripping over each other to talk about how much they couldn't stand that guy

Most of the people who hated him had more to do in their day than jack off their mangled dick to vr porn. He had the posting advantage.

i'm sure i'm not the only one that was like "gently caress this lol" and started spending their time on other things

:hmmyes: The FTV poo poo was particularly stupid and egregious (not b/c of strategy or whatever, but just in him being a monumental dickhead regarding it). Especially as it was incredibly obvious that he was standing inside a glass house, catapulting succ boulders through the walls at fellow C-SPAM posters. Taintrunner is both dumber and angrier than his hero, Jimmy. He will not be missed.

I'm doing my mea culpa for once having posted "free taintrunner". I was a bleary eyed stupid newbie poster who was in awe of the pure rage and power of a multi paragraph taint post directed at the "libs" trying to censor him. I was foolish and caught up in the moment. After realizing what a toxic wrecker he was, I ironically exposed myself as the lib I am and thought he could be reformed by calm rational debate. I failed in all fronts. I can only offer my apologies.

looking forward to taintrunner truthers appearing in 3-6 months. "well we didn't see the evidence connecting the two, so who really knows if jeffaroo was really taintrunner. he was really good at screaming at libs though"

but i'm really not looking forward to them. they can get hosed too.

I would like to confess that one time taintrunner said something about landlords and rich people in the covid thread and I said something like "you are literally a millionaire landlord" and someone asked if he really was and I said "yeah" then everyone started calling him a landlord and I am like 99% sure the sole source of the landlord thing was me saying "yeah" and I felt proud every time I saw anyone say it.

Great content though. Shame about all the rapes, seems to be the running motif between Trump, Biden, Limbitch, Taintrunner, etc etc.

on the rhizzone, there aren't 100 page-long screaming matches about, say, whether the voting behavior of some isolated amerikkkan is what, ultimately, determines if they're a good or bad person, or something. also, there aren't 100 page-long arguments about the optics of parliamentary minutae within an electoral and media system that's already fully captured by the bourgoisie. etc.

it's less liberal, overall. and there are less posts to read (always a plus). i'm sure it has it's weaknesses as well, but it seems pretty cool to me so far

I had always assumed a lot of his posting was motivated by a desire to own his rich wife's annoying liberal friends and just not having the guts to be aggro with them to their faces, but the more I read into his weird dramatic history the more it seems like it was directed at NYC demsocs who froze him out of their social circles years ago. Kinda scans with how everybody who got crossways with him was automatically a Biden voter lib but he himself was somehow a hard-eyed, hard-hearted Stalinist despite his conception of politics primarily being votescolding and posting in fandom flame wars surrounding his favorite Youtubers
hard-nosed stalinism is r. guyovich and the forums ran him out. that kind of thing is not concerned with morality per se (let alone voting for bernie panders) where everything is "good/evil" and boils down to some manichean universe. scratch a moralizer and you find a hypocrite

I posted "free taintrunner" many times but I obv wouldn't knowing what I know now

also I thought it was funny when he'd get a week long probe for ranting about libs in like Pet Island or some poo poo but I understand why people hated him (like before the new poo poo came to light)

during the taintrunner heyday on the succ zone "discussion" usually meant "outraged denouncements of my D&D forums enemies for not being sufficiently militant". like there was never any discussion, everything boiled down to one guy writing page long derails accusing every poster he disagreed with of being a rapist (this guy, ironically, is a rapist himself lol)

it does sorta outline the type that uses being The Angriest One In The Thread as a way of drawing fans and gaining access to targets/victims. Like that Jayden X guy is said to be, except for reasons people were suspicious of him and not these guys.
