No hug - social distancing and all being the order of the day.
A cookie, or twelve, might be nice though.

I just want to kudos all the forum member dealing with Atlas as a person representative of himself instead of broad stroking anyone else who might share any semblance of agreement with any of his ideals and beliefs. I personally see it as a huge step forward on how, historically this forum has dealt with batshit generally.

This kind of level-headed behavior that I observed in you when you came back to post (I didn't know you before that) is why you were the second religious person to get a rep from me. You have a good head on your shoulders!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

There's violence aimed at the poor overseas, and a slightly less bloody violence aimed toward the unfortunate at home. Less bloody because the weapons tend to be smaller than the mass bombs we aim abroad, or more built into the institutions. But it's still violence, and America is built on it. The wealth comes from manipulating and making other people poor.
The local propaganda is more effective, I think. Anglophones still have trouble realizing it, whereas people are more likely to see the evil if they're not quite as near to US media.
I moved to Hiroshima 32 years ago and it was my first time to hear people say that maybe America had done bad things. It was a shock at first. There was a bar all the foreigners went to, and whenever there was blood on the stairs it was almost always because some American had had his first encounter with someone who didn't agree that the US is the world's savior.
People live in fantasyland. I see no sign that the violence will decrease.
(And the fact that people here get pleasure from insulting you is part of that. They have the option of ignoring you if they think you're so hopeless, but they get pleasure from staying and saying snark about you. They like it when they can make someone feel bad.)
Many white Americans -many; and not all- have a 2 main problems:
1-Thinking they are some kind of a better human being -due too excessive pride- That's not how white supremacy works anymore. It's based on perceptions of a denial of pride, not an excess of pride.

Now I'm within the ranks of "batshits"; because I speak my mind and being its "man"? unlike you, obviously who follows the wave and surfing it; no matter if the wave is in their advantage or not.

You're within the ranks of the batshit because of the things that you decided to say. At some point...about something, you have to stop blaming everyone else and take responsibility for your life.
Fuck man, you're worse than my kids, lol.
Imma tell you a story. My eldest daughter busts ass while she sleeps. Not a little, Alot. Sometimes I cook spicy food or an all veggie dish and there's a little bit of juice behind it. She wakes up with skidmarks. Now...when that happens, she tries to sell me on the idea that somebody else put skidmarks on her sheets. She knows it's bullshit. I know it's bullshit. She knows that I know it's bullshit....but she still tries.
That's what you're doing - and you know it..and I know that you know it. You know that you're shitting the bed. None of these exchanges end as you expect. Why do you feel the need to try and convince people, like a 12 year old child, that your own shit...in your own pants, is someone else's? Can't you just wipe your ass and move on?

I stopped reacting with tribalism long ago man, nor do I seek riding waves or advantage. It was just an honest estimation and compliment to the quality of the forums improving, despite all the guano. It was far less about you than u are taking it, but I guess beggars...

Whether or not Atlas is aware if it he's doing some sterling work by discouraging other trolls and loonies. They take a look at the goings on, spot Atlas' posts and conclude; there's no fucking way I can compete with this guy.
Edit: Scrub that.
Miserable Bastard.

Right.

Then you have lived and incredibly sheltered life , And did those people who bashed the US happen to mention Japans war atrocities. You know the ones they deny .
This.
How Bel could claim that beggars belief. There is no way anyone could make such a naive statement with a straight face. Lie? Poe? Troll? Live as an isolated hermit in a cave? Moved to Hiroshima from Betelgeuse?
Think about it. He is claiming that until 1988 he was unaware that the US had ever done anything bad. That is total BS.
