understanding it doesnt help make anything better, it is an act of pure liberal individualism, but it makes me feel better at least

he was right haha
honestly we shouldn't be encouraging any kind of serious discussion over twitter. such a limited allowance of space dumbs down and inconveniences the conversation. It's like talking purely through talking points or thought terminating cliches. It's almost orwellian in it's linguistic caricaturing of debate.
unless a twitter "own" comes about through rapid linking of supporting articles, so it's like an aggregation of sources or something. That might work, but even such an approach is misguided giving the inability to let sources stand on their own. Like, you can't just throw a bunch of quotations at someone; you have to interpret and explain their relevance. Often it's up to you as the debater to make sense of the accumulated sources and present them coherently, but again twitter's platform doesn't really allow for this kind of thorough presentation or dissemination of ideas.
you wanna write lengthy blog articles in response to each other? that sounds like an awesome idea. Wanna through 140 characters at each other really fast? Yeah, that sounds dumb and is probably a waste of time.

everything is a waste of time, mustang.

lal check this guy whose never twowned someone
i guess it takes skill to ownz people ideologically without having an actual conversation. when one becomes one with the ownz they can truly transcend the need for words, and one's mere existence becomes that of ownz. one becomes one with the stirring of the zen ownz as they meditate on an empty cup.
my cup is clearly overflowing as i have too many ownz presuppositions which must be poured out before i can embrace the fullness of the twitter ownz stirring my inward essence with the force of deer spirits as they hop through my rock garden.
codywilson posted:ah, as I suspected, no actual discussion occurred.

@ManyfestoEditor You're not Doug Henwood. You're just some anonymous troll on the internet with a couple of hundred followers.
