But Canela and her friends take it very seriously. Some of her friends in the Tribe Improvement Plan are actually making death threats against their perceived enemies on tribe. Anyone who would do that either has a very small dick or is a pathetic loser. As for taking action, I reported SOT to the legal authorities and he is gone. Meanwhile, those losers like Canela and company are taking credit for my good work as a citizen.

Funnier than waking up hungover in a barn. Big deal, y'all It's cyberspace. morons, and nothing said here is any more than what you can type. Spend a bit of time thinking about how this whole Internet thing came to be and what's going on behind the scenes so you can lambast each other without being face-to-face. My personal opinion. Why bother? Unless your social life revolves around Facebook and Twitter and there's nothing in your life you'd rather be doing than sitting and typing shit.. Seriously, who give a purple fuck what you think? Some of the comments made would get an idiot that said them into a serious face-busting fight where I'm from, but you hide behind a keyboard. Keep it up It amuses me.

What Canela says about what she is doing in this tribe is relevant even if she says it somewhere else. What Canela seeks is what she wrote before, when she said she was going to get the moderator to make anyone who disagrees with her "shut up." She's still working on that goal, and still has every confidence that you, Bink, will serve her stated purpose as moderator. She is focusing on me for now but if others stand up to her she will seek to have you silence them, too. This is something damaged people do. They get on the internet, get into arguments they can't win and resort to complaints to the administrators or moderators to silence their opponents. IRL, these complaints are ignored but on the web they can find fools to do their bidding. Will you be one of her fools?

She daily posts in another tribe that is devoted to talking nothing but fantasy and gossip about SOT. She is the main contributor. She frequently brags over there about how you are on her side in this conflict. She fantasizes that SOT is going to contact her. She's a bizarro. She keeps this conflict going. I don't participate in that kind of thing. I'm only pointing out what is going on. I think it is relevant because she has revealed that her posts here in your tribe are part of a strategy involving SOT and she thinks you are serving this purpose.

If you want to show how damn smart you all are then prove it with the merit of your arguments, not by constantly attacking and bickering with each other.

I am not famous for trolling (except with those unable to understand what I am talking about) but rather for being able to deliver "withering sarcasm". Which is what I have been doing a few times lately, telling them that they are making complete fools of themselves on that tribe because everyone else can easily tell that they are trying to comment on books they have neither read nor would be able to comprehend. Since they are rather dim-witted, it takes them a while to get a grip on that bit of information too, but so far, all of them have gone quiet after a while. And God bless the new moderator that I managed to get elected. Not that I have not done enough showing off already but that man looks like the perfect choice. So far so good." Don't mess with Canela, people. She'll slay you with her "withering sarcasm." And you people are just too stupid and dimwitted to debate her. Only she reads books, the rest of you just pretend.

He was nothing compared to Stalin, who killed ten times as many people as Hitler, in Russia. Why does nobody talk about Stalin anymore?" And Bink's comment just confirms my observation that Sot's entourage of trolls is really out of their depth on this tribe as they have not read any of the books they are posting about. D.A. seems to be at least familiar with Baudelaire but that seems to be about it. The rest of those alts, SOT fans etc. are just making a complete fool of themselves on this tribe, kind of like trolling themselves. ; ) And while we are at it, if you are still under the illusion that fascism is a German thing (a certain degree of fascism, by the way, is still alive and well in Japan and not limited to General Togo who died long ago) put the names "Milgram" and "Zimbardo" into wikipedia or google, or watch the movie "The experiment" (with Moritz Bleibtreu, a German movie, based on Zimbardo's experiments) and educate yourself on how easily (certain) people can be made into fascists if they are not careful. http://www.prisonexp.org/ Or how about one book all you SOT alts might enjoy reading: The Lucifer effect by Philip Zimbardo http://www.lucifereffect.com/ Mon, 22 Jun 2009 14:25:35 GMT http://ijustfinishedreading.tribe.net/thread/40065fe4-cb07-410f-8a64-64d269151422#0823d12e-b901-49cd-a2c7-5b7637bebc4d Canela, too hot for you 2009-06-22T14:25:35Z http://ijustfinishedreading.tribe.net/thread/40065fe4-cb07-410f-8a64-64d269151422#d68d1489-5afd-4011-81e5-789aec0fd179 >>While fascism is not unique just to Nazi Germany, for Germans to suggest that it is a universal human tendancy, for them to suggest that it was just some historical accident that caused the Third Reich, WWII and the Holocaust, is not well taken. Coming from Germans, it is hard not to see it as an attempt to absolve themselves of responsibility. << No fascism is not unique to NAZI Germany. They stole it from Mussolini's Italian government after all. Fascism is a form of extreme authoritarian nationalism and authoritarian nationalism is not rare. Also, Reich was a Jew and communist, so it isn't very likely he was apologizing for the actions of the NAZI party and the people who followed them. And Reich actually agrees with you that it is the fault of the people when he says, "Responsibility for the elimination of fascism thus results with the masses of average people who might otherwise support and champion it." Even if he argues that fascism comes naturally, people still have the ability to ignore that impulse. How many times have you wanted to punch somebody and overridden the impulse? >>German must still do more soul searching and further repent and atone for their sins, which are unequaled in the history of mankind.<< Unequaled? Stalin's government likely killed far more non-combatants during WWII, both in foreign countries and in Russia. Pol Pot's government killed close to two million of his own people, nearly emptying the city of Phnom Pehn. While 2 million is far less than 12 million, the population of Cambodia when the Khmer Rouge took power was about 7.3 million. So the Khmer Rouge killed about a quarter of the population. The Rwanda genocide was 800,000 in 100 days and more people were killed outside of that, that was just the peak of activity. The genocide committed by NAZI led Germany was a horrific thing, but many of the Germans alive today were not even born when it happened and the culture is much different now.

Drawing on his medical expereinces with men and women of various classes, races, nations, and religious beliefs, Reich refutes the still generally held notion that fascism is a specific characteristic of certain nationalities or a political party ideology that is imposed on innocent people by means of force or political manneuvers. "Fascism on only the organized political expression of the structure of the average man's character. It is the basic emotional civilization and its mechanistic-mystical conception of life."—Wilhelm Reich Responsibility for the elimination of fascism thus results with the masses of average people who might otherwise support and champion it. Language Notes Text: English, German ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Sexual Revolution: Toward a Self-Governing Character Structure amazon reviews: 1)In this book you can read about revolutionary attempts to build camps for "deliquent" children in the early pre-Stalinization Soviet Union. In this book, you can learn the importance of the fight of young people for healthy sexual activity, and the negative neurotic damage done by this society's anti-sexual repression. You can read this in relatively short articles Reich wrote on a variety of topics collected here under this name. This book is the most approachable introduction to Reich's positive contributions on the role of sexuality in capitalist society, on destruction of compulsory sex morality, and about what a new freer less pathological world would be like. Most of his other books were reedited in the 1940s and 1950s and smothered with the mumbo jumbo of his "orgone biopathy" theories. These theories were more of an expression of Reich's mental breakdown under the hammer blows of Stalinism, Fascism, and Americanism, than anything resembling science. Perhaps this book has less of that because almost all of Reich's works were banned by the US government during the 1950s through the late 1960s. This was the first one of his books legally published (I remember reading bootleg editions of his work before then) after that ban and might have less of that stuff for that reason. Whatever people misremember about the 1960s, it was quite revolutionary to see this book with this author and this title in bookstores in 1968! If you have never read Reich, or if you have been turned off by the insanity of orgone theory, this will be a pleasant surprise. 2)Ignore the dismissive comments of Tony Thomas regarding orgonomy. He says that it doesn't resemble science, but not all sciences have been discovered yet. Reich attempted to study a phenomena which had no established means of observation, and when he couldn't cure cancer quickly enough, was treated worse than any scientist since the Renaissance, perhaps. Because of this, you'll hear a lot of people with views based on the propaganda released when the government sought agreement from their supporters to deny Reich his rights. These layman will never claim to possess evidence that his work is mumbo jumbo, because saying that he was a crazy communist is much more effective propaganda. --------------------------------------------------------------- Listen, Little Man! amazon review: Listen, Little Man! is a great physician's quiet talk to each one of us, the average human being, the Little Man. Written in 1946 in answer to the gossip and defamation that plagued his remarkable career, it tells how Reich watched, at first naively, then with amazement, and finally with horror, at what the Little Man does to himself; how he suffers and rebels; how he esteems his enemies and murders his friends; how, wherever he gains power as a "representative of the people," he misuses this power and makes it crueler than the power it has supplanted. Reich has us to look honestly at ourselves and to assume responsibility for our lives and for the great untapped potential that lies in the depth of human nature. Language Notes Text: English, German (translation) I have read the first as a teenager, and it was brought up by a professor again in university in a quote on a textbook about prejudices. The next two I have never read but would love to. Interestingly, "Listen, little man" I discovered on the shelf in a very old house in Kappadokya, it belonged to a Turkish friend who had just finished his service at the Turkish military. Imagine the sarcasm and cynism he must have felt at watching Turkish soldiers being trained and training others. Seeing that book there up on his shelf told me more about his character than anything he said that evening.
