[edit] Some memorable irc rants
[edit] briareus ranting on Ron Paul supporters who unfortunately do not understand Liberty
- This one started from irc.freenode.net ##RonPaul, after I left because of asshattery. This guy followed me in pm and after I put him on ignore I ranted about it in ##politics for a while. I only have four of his lines, because I killed the window I was in with him and only had these four in the buffer. Anyway, It's a rant, but if you want an insight into my mind, here is one to digest:
[03:44] < briareus> damn, people just don't understand liberty at all
[03:44] < briareus> people supporting Ron Paul who want to tell you what to do and how to think. WHAT THE FUCK IS
UP WITH THAT?
[03:45] < briareus> they have NO CONCEPTION of liberty
[03:45] < briareus> [03:44] <ktne> you can speak whatever you want because god gave to you the right to chose
[03:45] < briareus> [03:45] <ktne> that doesn't make certain thigs less wrong howhever
[03:45] < briareus> [03:45] <briareus> and I choose to ignore you now, you religious fundamentalist wacko, goodbye.
[03:45] < briareus> [03:45] <ktne> it's just that you have a free choice when speaking to someone as long as both
people agree
[03:45] < briareus> THAT IS NOT FREE SPEECH
[03:46] < briareus> you have freedom as long as both agree?
[03:46] < briareus> WHAT THE HELL?
[03:47] < briareus> i mean REALLY
[03:47] < briareus> what the fuck is wrong with people
[03:47] < briareus> YOU ARE FREE TO SAY WHAT YOU WANT, so long as I agree
[03:47] < briareus> INSANE
[03:47] < briareus> .....tell me it's not just me
[03:47] * briareus feels like he is taking crazy pills
[03:47] < briareus> and these people are voting for a man who supports Liberty?
[03:47] < briareus> what on earth are they thinking?
[03:48] < briareus> "you are free to do whatever you want, so long as it's what I want you to do"
[03:48] < briareus> I got that in the last 15 minutes in ##RonPaul
[03:49] < briareus> and then in pm, when I left, I get "you are free to speak as you will but only as long as
I agree"
[03:49] < briareus> what the hell is happening?
[03:49] < briareus> WE ARE DOOMED if the people supporting Ron Paul believe in this shit
[03:50] < briareus> FOX NEWS just called Ron Paul supporters the lunatic fringe? WITH WHAT I JUST WITNESSED I AGREE
[03:50] * briareus can't excape the feeling he is ranting into the vacuum
[03:50] < briareus> I mean is anyone hearing me?
[03:50] < briareus> does anyone see what I am seeing?
[03:50] < briareus> tell me now
[03:51] < briareus> I am losing hope in this Ron Paul crowd by the hour, lately
[03:51] < briareus> I believe in Liberty. I think you are at liberty to do whatever it is you can imagine, anything
at all, say anything, paint anything, screw anything, sing anything, dance naked on a piano...
[03:52] < briareus> SO LONG AS YOU DONT HARM ANOTHER
[03:52] < briareus> That's Liberty
[03:52] < briareus> what the hell are these people voting for?
[03:52] < briareus> it's not that Liberty
[03:52] < briareus> not people who would control your actions or censor your words
[03:53] < briareus> this really bothers me, I have voted for Ron Paul in every national election I have ever taken
part in, when most of these people were slavethinking sleepwalkers
[03:53] < briareus> and now when he is finally prominent, I find myself embarrassed by a large portion of his crowd
[03:54] < briareus> I saw someone say a short while ago "good night fellow Paulers"
[03:54] < briareus> do they not know they are talking like cultists?
[03:54] < briareus> that's a Cult of Personality
[03:54] < briareus> are they thinking? have they a clue?
[03:54] < briareus> apparently not
[03:55] < briareus> I'm about to wash my hands of the whole effort and just prepare for the bullets, since EVEN IF
RON PAUL IS ELECTED, these sorts of people are going to push us into conflict ANYWAY
[03:55] < briareus> fuck
[03:55] * briareus takes a deep breath, centers himself
[03:56] * briareus realizes he is pretty much alone in the world; a care package bobbing along the surf of
unfriendly tides.
[03:57] < briareus> Today in traffic, I saw a guy with a huge Ron Paul for President vinyl sticker across the back
of his Honda here in Phoenix, on the west side. I pulled up next to him, gave him the thumbs up, and he looks at
me and shakes his fist like a madman, and then immediately accelerates and cuts me off, and generally whips
through traffic like an asshole
[03:58] < briareus> and I think... GREAT, he's a wonderful help
[03:58] < briareus> way to make Ron Paul supporters look like asshats
[03:59] < briareus> sure, he's free to do it, but slavethinkers look at it and shake their heads
[04:00] < briareus> Ron Paul supporters here in phoenix are making those spray paint REVOLUTION signs. I like them,
personally. But I've spoken to a few people who said those signs creep them out, "like its a cult or something"
is what my coworker said
[04:00] < briareus> and I disagree with him I mean the REVOLUTION has the word LOVE in it, backwards in red, I
think its clever
[04:00] < briareus> but so what about what I think, we aren't trying to get me to vote, we are trying to get
sheople to vote.
[04:01] < briareus> and if they think its a cult, and FOX tells them its fringe... well there you are.
[04:01] < briareus> insta-pigeonhole.
[04:01] < briareus> is anyone here?
[04:01] < briareus> is anyone reading?
[04:01] * briareus hears Peace Orchestra playing in his head, and the chorus "who am I"
[04:02] < briareus> yes, apparently I am alone.
[04:02] * briareus is afk
