@The_Pirate Did you really "get" me, though? Because I'm exactly who you were trying to be. I was just echoing that I agreed in general with the arguments. I didn't get assblasted or argue with you.

@ColorfulSoy, @Ceildric, @hazzack, @Richman, @sterven.
My friends, you did well.
Typing this after Pirate's 'reveal' btw. Regardless of him "coming clean" though, it's still very possible that he acknowledges some of his 'pretended beliefs' as credible.
While I was reading The_Pirate's comments, I was thinking "this person might be playing a caricature to troll". But I honestly wasn't sure one way or the other. It is, however, unfortunate that people exist with the honest mentality portrayed by Mr. Pirate, to the point where it's believable that everything Pirateguy posted was authentic. Of course, there are varying degrees of reasonability and 'accuracy' said thoughts can be presented in, so it isn't always as obvious as Pirate's caricature made it.
Nonetheless, those with authority in educational institutions, who teach and spread the kind of dogma Pirate Dude has spouted in this thread, are indicators of something far more harmful. But it would be wrong to completely absolve Piratebro, or anyone else in his portrayed 'camp', of blame due to outside influences. To do so would shirk those people of the responsibilities of free-thinking and rationality; responsibilities that all people should be held accountable for.
Anyway, I saw this post a bit earlier. Just in case it's edited in the future, this is what it said:
@The_Pirate
Well, even though this is just a mostly anonymous Mongolian throat singing forum on the internet, I'd say it's pretty evident that you indeed "don't care about social achievements". Idk though, a place like this (with relatively lesser stakes) might have been helpful for practice in improving your "ill-equipped" social skills. At least you got some experience in how not to act online (or anywhere else), I guess.
(Well, I guess it was a kinda long post. Not Tamerlane level though.)
