I think we need to be able to distinguish NPC members from real members for very real security reasons though
perhaps we need a cognitive exam of sorts?
We'll take this in another server I think
If they're here, they have broken through a huge amount of social conditioning.
I am so behind the times. What is "NPC"?
Most people do not really form their own beliefs. They adopt them like they would pick a football team. Which shows how powerful deontological arguments are.
@Singleton Mosby WV its a video game term. A non-player character. Kind of like an extra in a movie. They play a role, but they have no real agency of their own. Just acting out a supporting script.
Like a cashier almost. Just doing its bit and not affecting anything.
Beliefs and attitudes are greatly influence by what - and whom - one is expose to growing up.
That's "exposed" nor "expose".
@Singleton Mosby WV Remember the image you shared of the gray character with the flat expression? That's the internet's visual representation of an NPC.
I copy.
a good article that a friend of our movement wrote on the subject.
Worth a watch
Yuss! Just narrowly avoided having to suffer through a team meeting. Now, let nothing stand between me and an uneventful rest of my Friday *wrings hands like merchant*... đ
Yeah. Gavin never took the Optics Pill...
The anti suppository pill
Lol
The Proud Boys put in good work, but it's better to starve antifa
Usually
They're certainly going for a full court press on the PB
I'm just being cheeky. I've personally never knowingly crossed paths with the Proud Boys, but it's my understanding that there are plenty of them who harbor friendly sentiments toward us.
That said, though, the whole "drinking club" thing is obviously kinda cringe.
I bet within a year Proud Boys will be wearing some iteration of Black Bloc as the lawsuits roll in
Some Proud Boys like us, some hate us. It's probably a split issue that they don't talk about
I don't think their political considerations go much below the surface level.
Proudboys political worldview:
Capitalism = good
Patriarchy = Good
Law and Order = Good
Illegal immigration =bad
Trump = Good
Democrats = the real racists = bad
Antifa = beat up
Perty much.
sounds like a recipe for a meme
Gavin himself knows more than he lets on. He had Jared Taylor on his old show of course
@VinceChaos Oh, yeah... Forgot about that.
He couldnât swallow more redpills bc he has 3 kids with a feather indian of course
same with Joe Biggs
@Deleted User - I just spent a weekend with 12 Proud Boys, and surprisingly we sat down in their woods lodge and had genuine discussion on the JQ, demographics, degenerate behavior, etc. We spent the day at the gun range, of course, then cooked elk steak with German potato salad and practice sparring for a good few hours around a fire.
It was honestly kind of legit
yeah, they know
