Longbowe Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 This announcement brought to you by Vanguard. The God Emperor Dio Brando has taught us not to be afraid to call things wrong when it does something, says something, stands for something, or engages in something that violates the values in which we believe. First off, Vanguard feels that it does the things it does “for the childrenâ€. That concept is, of course, complete bunk by any stretch of the imagination. However, it is bunk that has survived virtually unchanged from when it was first proposed nearly half a century ago by cold-blooded poltroons to its present incarnation in Vanguard's haughty recommendations. Vanguard unmistakably believes that everyone who scrambles aboard the Vanguard bandwagon is guaranteed a smooth ride. What kind of Humpty-Dumpty world is it living in? Apparently, even know-it-all Vanguard doesn't know the answer to that one. It wouldn't even matter if it did, given that the practice of intersectionality—that is, taking into account the way different forms of oppression mutually reinforce each other and differentially affect different subgroups—was not developed for the sake of a “more oppressed than you†competition. It was developed precisely in order to spark a powerful student movement that will fight for justice everywhere. My point here is that Vanguard is an opportunist. That is, it is an ideological chameleon without any real morality, without a soul. The essential point, however, is the following: If I hear Vanguard's helpmeets say, “The world's salvation comes from whims, irrationality, and delusions†one more time, I'm unequivocally going to throw up. In order for us to realize more happiness in our lives we need to understand that those who have most injured and oppressed humanity, that have most deeply sinned against it, are, according to Vanguard's standards and conscience, good people. Apparently, bad people are those who have noticed that Vanguard has mastered the dark arts of diversion and deception. Need I say more? I don't think so, but this I will say: Vanguard demands that we make a choice. Either we let it ridicule the accomplishments of generations of great men and women or it'll shame my name. This “choice†exemplifies what is commonly known as a “false dichotomy†or “the fallacy of the excluded middle†because it denies other alternatives, such as that Vanguard is not a responsible citizen. Responsible citizens respond to its jobations. Responsible citizens unquestionably do not support those for whom hatred has become a way of life. Yes, it would help if Vanguard realized that education and wisdom aren't necessarily the same thing, but here is the point that is worth considering: My goal is to stop this insanity. I might not be successful at achieving that goal, but I certainly do have to try. What's the most appropriate way to maintain the great principles of virtue, truth, right, and honor? The answer is education—the real thing, not the venal facsimile that Vanguard promotes in order to devalue me as a person. Many of our problems would be solved if only more people were educated to learn that whenever Vanguard is blamed for conspiring to hurt others physically or emotionally, it blames its dupes. Doing so reinforces their passivity and obedience and increases their guilt, shame, terror, and conformity, thereby making them far more willing to help Vanguard reward mediocrity. The final thing I want to bring up in this letter is that I'll do what I can to challenge the present and enrich the future, and each of you reading this letter should do the same. Let's be there for each other. Let's help each other. And let's knock some sense into Vanguard. Let it be known that Mensa HQ declared war on Vanguard! ZA WARUDO! tl;dr: Mensa HQ declared war on Vanguard like a week ago because they were bored but they forgot to post a DoW, so we're doing it for them. You're welcome, Mensa HQ. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spooner Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We didn't post a war declaration because we weren't declaring war on you. It wasn't vetted by our leadership or anything. A handful of our members decided to raid your alliance since you had no allies other than Arrgh, and keep a !@#$ton of money in your alliance bank.

Popular Post Ayayay Posted January 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2016 I am going to make this short but sweet: In public, Mensa & Co vehemently inveighs against corruption and sin. But when nobody's looking, Mensa & Co never fails to use every conceivable form of diplomacy, deception, pressure, coercion, bribery, treason, and terror to produce culturally degenerate films and videos. To start, I am reminded of the quote, “It is bound to have a rude awakening when it finally realizes how few people approve of its disputatious rantings.†This comment is not as incoherent as it seems because Mensa & Co can get away with lies (e.g., that the best way to reduce cognitive dissonance and restore homeostasis to one's psyche is to weaken our mental and moral fiber) because the average person cannot imagine anyone lying so brazenly. Not one person in a hundred will actually check out the facts for himself and discover that Mensa & Co is lying. In all fairness, Mensa & Co wants to prevent us from fighting oppression. If it manages to do that, it'll have plenty of time to focus on its core mission: ascribing opinions to me that I don't even hold. Common sense and scientific evidence agree: I've managed to come up with a way in which Mensa & Co's essays could be made useful. Its essays could be used by the instructors of college courses as a final examination of sorts. Any student who can't find at least 20 errors of fact or fatuous statement automatically flunks. Extra credit goes to students who realize that Mensa & Co has managed to convince a vast assortment of people that I'm some sort of cully who can be duped into believing that it would never dream of establishing a world government complete with a world army, a world parliament, a world court, and numerous other agencies that plunge us into the dark abyss of annihilation. That's just further evidence that the most insidious thing in the world is nonsense that sounds just plausible enough to listen to. It's the sort of nonsense that prevents people from seeing that Mensa & Co consorts with recalcitrant, ultra-sneaky antagonists. This is equivalent to saying that Mensa & Co twists every argument into some sort of “struggle†between two parties. Mensa & Co unvaryingly constitutes the underdog party, which is what it claims gives it the right to break up society's solidarity and cohesiveness. It is imperative that all of us in this community appeal for comity between us and Mensa & Co. This cannot occur unless there is a true spirit of respect and an appreciation of differences. As one commentator put it, I would love to be a fly on the wall near where Mensa & Co and its terrorist organization meet. I'd love to hear how those beastly cads come up with their stultiloquent schemes for spattering my reputation. Then, I'd finally be able to back up my claim that I'm not a huffy person. I'd like nothing more than to extend my hand in friendship to Mensa & Co's eulogists and convey my hope that in the days to come we can work together to lead Mensa & Co out of a dream world and back to hard reality. Unfortunately, knowing them, they'd rather place contumelious grobians at the top of the social hierarchy because that's what Mensa & Co wants. Mensa & Co is not a responsible citizen. Responsible citizens delegitimize it. Responsible citizens doubtlessly do not craft propaganda that justifies palliating and excusing the atrocities of Mensa & Co's faithfuls. Even if foolhardy nupsons join Mensa & Co's band with the best of intentions, they will still introduce a zeitgeist of lexiphanicism to our society sooner or later. Not all, I hasten to add, do join with the best of intentions. I am intellectually honest enough to admit my own previous ignorance in that matter. I wish only that Mensa & Co had the same intellectual honesty. Mensa & Co often argues that drug money is being used to pay for the construction of huge underground cities intended to house both humans and aliens who serve a secret, transnational shadow government. A similar argument was first made over 1200 years ago by a well-known storyteller and was quickly disproved. In those days, however, no one would have doubted that plagiarism doesn't work. So why does Mensa & Co cling to it? As you no doubt realize, that's a particularly timely question. In fact, just half an hour ago I heard someone express the opinion that Mensa & Co is locked into its present course of destruction. It does not have the interest or the will to change its fundamentally cuckoo jibes. Here's a nugget of information that you might find interesting: Mensa & Co alleges that its mistakes are always someone else's fault. What planet is it from? The planet Sinister? Let me answer from my own personal perspective: As many of you know, I realized a long time ago that if Mensa & Co wants to cause jackbooted subversion to gather momentum on college campuses, let it wear the opprobrium of that decision. Mensa & Co insists that people are pawns to be used and manipulated. I insist that this allegation does not withstand scrutiny, in part because among the many challenges in lighting the torch of human rights is a bottom-line unawareness of how Mensa & Co's machinery of panoptic control seems to have no bounds. Every store in the country should have that chiseled in large letters over the entryway. Maybe then people would grasp that as long as the beer keeps flowing and the paychecks keep coming, Mensa & Co's winged monkeys don't really care that everyone ought to read my award-winning essay, “The Naked Aggression of Mensa & Coâ€. In it, I chronicle all of Mensa & Co's ventures from the pathological to the juvenile and conclude that like many crude, batty four-flushers, Mensa & Co is a hater. But it worse than other haters. It wants to put its hatred into action and caricature and stereotype people from other cultures. This worries me because I would like to comment on Mensa & Co's attempt to associate presenteeism with nonrepresentationalism. There is no association. My vision that some day, people everywhere will oppose our human vices wherever they may be found—arrogance, hatred, jealousy, unfaithfulness, avarice, and so on—is an inspiring dream. Unfortunately, reality always awakens me and reminds me that Mensa & Co feels it would be best for all of us if it were to rewrite and reword much of humanity's formative works to favor philistinism. Such sentiments have no place in our community, let alone in our world. I wish that all of the callow, inerudite mendicants who hold similar views would stop to think about how Mensa & Co maintains that either vapid brawlers are inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive or that five-crystal orgone generators can eliminate mind-control energies that are being radiated from secret, underground, government facilities. Mensa & Co denies any other possibility. When we build a coalition of stouthearted people devoted to stopping Mensa & Co, we are not only threading our way through a maze of competing interests; we are weaving the very pattern of our social fabric. Mensa & Co has been trying for ages to convince everyone that it knows the “right†way to read Plato, Maimonides, and Machiavelli. The crux of its approach is to break down the distinction between subjective and objective truth, what Mensa & Co refers to as “breaking down dualismsâ€. Mensa & Co thinks it would be a brilliant idea to herald the death of intelligent discourse on college campuses. Undoubtedly, it's too clever by half. Its “brilliant†idea does little more than prove that Mensa & Co's musings are nothing short of anarchism-oriented. Yes, I could add that the antithesis of impulsive officialism is moral, religious, and cultural solidarity among the people of a nation, but I wanted to keep my message simple and direct. I didn't want to distract you from the main thrust of my message, which is that Mensa & Co's method (or school, or ideology—it is hard to know exactly what to call it) goes by the name of “Mensa & Co-ismâ€. It is a temperamental and avowedly gloomy philosophy that aims to lay down diktats that force me to lose my temper. I'm sure you get my point here. Here are a few points to ponder: The fact that Mensa & Co has covertly been demanding special treatment that, in many cases, borders on the ridiculous starkly suggests that Mensa & Co does not believe its own rhetoric. Mensa & Co engages in pietistic babble that nauseates even some of my more religious friends. There is no defense against ridicule. Those points may at first seem unrelated, but when you connect the dots it becomes clear that I am confident that genuine patriots will perceive the veracity of my statements regarding Mensa & Co's stroppy, sniveling expedients. That's not something that we learn in school—though it should be. That's not something that we emote about while watching movies and TV shows—though it should be. What it is is something that tells us loudly and clearly that it's sad how Mensa & Co has been producing a new generation of overweening criticasters whose opinions and prejudices, far from being enlightened and challenged, are simply legitimized. The silver lining around this cloud is that when you're hurt by its hariolations, you learn. You put things in perspective. You pull your energies together. You change. You go forward. You observe that the world is full of people who alter laws, language, and customs in the service of regulating social relations. We don't need any more people like that. What we need are people who are willing to counteract the subtle but pervasive social message that says that men are spare parts in the social repertoire—mere optional extras. We need people who understand that Mensa & Co is out to do the entire country a grave disservice. And when we play its game, we become accomplices. You may balk at this, but Mensa & Co's coalition is a sterile bubble of sexism. Everyone inside the bubble wants to toss sops to the egos of the materialistic. In contrast, everyone outside the bubble agrees that the first lies that Mensa & Co told us were relatively benign. Still, they have been progressing. And they will continue to progress until there is no more truth; its lies will grow until they blot out the sun. Mensa & Co and yawping, self-aggrandizing sluggards are tighter than a congenital syndactyly. Never forget that and never let Mensa & Co feed us a diet of robbery, murder, violence, and all other manner of trials and tribulations. 8 Quote Orbis Wars | CSI: UPN | B I G O O F | PW Expert Has Nerve To Tell You How To Run Your Own Goddamn Alliance | Occupy Wall Street | Sheepy Sings TheNG - My favorite part is when Steve suggests DEIC might have done something remotely successful, then gets massively shit on for proposing such a stupid idea.
