So what are you dressing up as today?
I'm wearing the same thing that I wear everyday:

Anyone dressing like Mike Myers tonight passing out candy? š
shareWho decided that skeletons are scary?
Honestly, I'd be more scared if the muscular system suddenly walked into my room.

That's actually a fair point. If I saw a walking skeleton I'd probably be like 'woah, that's crazy', but if I saw that muscular system thing walking down the street I would run.
shareNo costume. Just comfy clothes and a few movies.
shareI made a quick run to the nearby liquor store for some beer in my sweats and slippers. I had completely forgotten it was Halloween until I saw one of the employees wearing one of those cheap, fake, exaggerated noses. I happened to overhear part of a conversation between her and another, younger employee where they seemed to be discussing a party and she told him,"You can go as a broke, college student because that's what you are." He looked a little embarrassed so I chimed in, "Hey man, I understand, I was a 'starving artist' once myself." That produced smiles and a chuckle from both. š Apart from that, can't even tell it's Halloween in my neighborhood.
shareHappy Halloween!
My wife and the baby were Mario and Luigi. Nevermind the baby should have been Toad and I one of the plumbers...but, after a brief moment of considering being Peach, I ended up as Donkey Kong.
LOL, yeah you missed an opportunity with Toad:

Lol that's funny. Definitely a missed opportunity there.
Speaking of funny, did you happen to catch this thread the other day? It turns out we were all right.

LOL, I totally did. I was just talking to Melton about this. Watching the Mods call out Skavau on his bullshit reports was pure gold. I already thought highly of the Mods from interacting with them ā especially Mod5 ā but seeing them openly mock Skavau only raised my respect for them. I knew they were good eggs, and this just proved it.
shareYou mean the "bullshit reports" that since then, they've actually acted on? And the many reports that they referenced having acted upon?
shareYou're still wasting their time. You're giving them extra work because you're a fascistic little turd and an oversensitive pussy. Leave the Mods alone. Stop wasting their time. Fuck face.
shareBut they're still removing the posts. The mods don't like spam (in this case). I know this from personal experience.
>You're giving them extra work because you're a fascistic little turd
You are openly on record calling for the mass arrest of all 'woke' people. You are the fascist. You are the anti-american. You are the person who hates the constitution, who hates the western world. You have more in common with Islamofascists than you do with anyone in the west. You have a similar ideology to the many Muslims coming to the UK from the Middle-East.
The notion that me reporting people for spam or making threats is anything like you want is absurd on its face. You don't think I should even be allowed on this forum at all. That I should be reported to the police for expressing myself on here.
Yeah, but I'm a good fascist. I'm a reasonable fascist. I'm not a censorious fascist ā like you.
To put it simply, I'm based, and you're not.
Based on what are you a "reasonable" fascist? You exclude "woke" people from free expression protections based on an arbitrary rejection of their humanity. You hate free speech. You hate the western world. As I said, I'm not going to stop mentioning this.
>I'm not a censorious fascist ā like you.
You want me arrested for what I say. I don't want you arrested.
You deserve to be arrested. No one cares about you or your rights. No one will defend you. You are an undesirable. Thems the breaks son. Maybe you shouldn't have been so autistic.
shareWanting to arrest people because you hate their ideology or belief that they are autistic is blatantly contemptuous of free expression. This was my point. You hate free speech. You hate the western world.
shareYou seem confused about the concepts of free expression and free speech. Your definition is so broad that it includes every action as an expression of speech.
shareNo, I'm not.
>Your definition is so broad that it includes every action as an expression of speech.
https://www.amnesty.org/en/what-we-do/freedom-of-expression/
"Your voice matters. You have the right to say what you think, share information and demand a better world. You also have the right to agree or disagree with those in power, and to express these opinions in peaceful protests.
Exercising these rights ā without fear or unlawful interference ā is central to living in an open and fair society; one in which people can access justice and enjoy their human rights."
You have specifically said that woke people should arrested simply for who they are, and anyone who signals a 'woke' argument would be considered implicating themselves as 'woke'. This is de facto an attack on freedom of expression. The purpose is to chill ideologies and worldviews you do not like from being expressed by people. It is an obvious and direct attack on free speech.
Attacks on subcultures are attacks on expression, whether or not it is written as an arrest based on someone's /identity/ or for their /words/ is complete semantics. The purpose is the exact same. The end result is the exact same. "Oh you're not being arrested for saying liberal things, you're being arrested for being a liberal". It's such a laughable distinction.
You hate free speech. You hate the western world.
Following your logic, we couldnāt take action against foreign agents leaking our secrets to their governments, as theyād merely be āexpressing themselves.ā Even worse, if they're doing it privately, then targeting them would be an invasion of their privacy and an attack on their personal freedom. By the same standard, we wouldnāt be able to stop communist infiltrators who, as foreign agents, spread propaganda to destabilize our society and undermine our institutions. They, too, would simply be expressing their views.
You hate the western world.
Thatās partly true. I love the Western world as it was ā especially in the ā90s and earlier. But our current Western society? I hate it. It's deteriorated to the point where the very fabric of society is unraveling. Here I am persuaded by Alexander Dugin's argument against liberalism where he argues that liberalism, while initially valuable for freeing individuals from oppressive structures, has an inherent drive to push boundaries endlessly, and this ultimately destabilizes society. Liberalism, by constantly liberating people from every tradition, value, and even biological identity like gender, eventually leads to a kind of emptiness or nihilism, and as result we end up with a fractured society (This is what we see today). And this ideology wonāt stop at gender but will continue to push us toward transhumanism, an attempt to āliberateā us from human nature itself. Liberalism eventually leaves us with a system that forces its own worldview on everyone and erases any alternative values, creating what Dugin calls a ātotalitarian liberalism". And that is precisely where we are today. We are all living under a state of totalitarian liberalism. And I do hate it.
>Following your logic, we couldnāt take action against foreign agents leaking our secrets to their governments, as theyād merely be āexpressing themselves.ā
Free speech even within the USA is not absolute, even though it's by far the most expansive.
But I'm not even sure at this point what you consider a violation of free speech. It's not arresting people for what they say, or how they express themselves, or for their identity. It seems you just excuse any restrictions you support as somehow magically not counting.
>Even worse, if they're doing it privately, then targeting them would be an invasion of their privacy and an attack on their personal freedom. By the same standard, we wouldnāt be able to stop communist infiltrators who, as foreign agents, spread propaganda to destabilize our society and undermine our institutions. They, too, would simply be expressing their views.
You're not saying anything daring. State intrusion into people's private chats and interactions is indeed met with a lot of concern by lots of civil rights organisations.
And you referring back to the McCarthyism moral panic era as if it actually isn't something scrutinised now is quite strange.
>Thatās partly true. I love the Western world as it was ā especially in the ā90s and earlier.
No, you hate it even then. You hate the post-war western world. People weren't being rounded up and arrested en mass in the 1990s for being considered too progressive, or 'woke' or liberal.
>I hate it. It's deteriorated to the point where the very fabric of society is unraveling.

Alexander Dugin is possibly the worst fucking person you could name here to somehow back up your point. Dude hated the western world in the 1990s. Dude fucking hates the western world now and fantasises about Russian dominance over Europe. He's basically the ideologist for Rashism. Your rejection of liberalism in itself is fundamentally a rejection of the western world. You hate free speech.
I reiterate you have more in common with Iranian Mullahs, and Saudi Arabian clerics. You are ideologically closer to the Islamists who can't integrate into the UK that you are any native born European or American.
FREE SPEECH DOES NOT APPLY TO AN INTERNET FORUM WITH A LIST OF STANDARDS.
shareFree speech as outlined in the First Amendment doesnāt directly apply here, but thereās a difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. When people argue for free speech on social media, theyāre really talking about the spirit of free expression. Social media companies arenāt obligated to comply, but if they claim to support free speech ā like for example Elon Musk does for Twitter ā then their community standards should reflect First Amendment principles.
share>Free speech as outlined in the First Amendment doesnāt directly apply here, but thereās a difference between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law.
It's funny how you appeal to the "spirit of the law" when you don't seem to connect how arresting someone for who they are (as demonstrated by what they say) isn't an attack in the same way (although I'd argue it's more direct here).
>When people argue for free speech on social media, theyāre really talking about the spirit of free expression. Social media companies arenāt obligated to comply, but if they claim to support free speech ā like for example Elon Musk does for Twitter ā then their community standards should reflect First Amendment principles.
Except you, despite claiming you support free speech, don't support First Amendment principles.
You might just be the stupidest and socially illiterate person on this board. I'm tired of trying to argue with you, as you seem incapable of grasping what I'm saying or recognizing what is a happening here. So instead, I'll leave you with what may seem like an unrelated question. I don't want you to answer it; I just want you to think about it.
If I were to tell you that you are a subhuman piece of shit and that I think you should kill yourself ā and I truly meant itāwhat do you think my reaction would be if, sometime in the near future, we, the denizens of MovieChat, found out that you actually committed suicide? Do you think I would celebrate and think good riddance, or would I consider it a tragedy and regret having said such horrible things to you during a heated argument on a movie message board? The answer to this question is key to understanding my arguments for fascism and the extermination of those who hold progressive views
>You might just be the stupidest and socially illiterate person on this board. I'm tired of trying to argue with you, as you seem incapable of grasping what I'm saying or recognizing what is a happening here
You've said this time and time again. It's just yet more excuses for your inability to answer my responses to your claims.
>If I were to tell you that you are a subhuman piece of shit and that I think you should kill yourself ā and I truly meant itāwhat do you think my reaction would be if, sometime in the near future, we, the denizens of MovieChat, found out that you actually committed suicide?

I don't give a fuck. Being despised by fascist scumbags like yourself is an honour. I already know that you're a vile piece of shit (who I still maintain is a potential domestic terrorist) and that you would celebrate my passing, however it happens, is no surprise to me.
I don't give a fuck. Being despised by fascist scumbags like yourself is an honour.
Thanks for proving my point. I knew you wouldn't let me down.
What does it feel like to be completely oblivious of something that to everyone else in this thread is obvious?
>Thanks for proving my point. I knew you wouldn't let me down.
Did you expect me to reply in some other way there? "What is your response to me saying I'd celebrate your death?"
How is it people you think /should/ reply to that? What are you expecting people to think when they read something like that?
>What does it feel like to be completely oblivious of something that to everyone else in this thread is obvious?
This is very suspiciously like one of those "straw-questions" I hear so much about. Oblivious to what?
I'll say it again:
It's astonishing how stupid and social inept you are. There is something seriously wrong with you.
No answer, just petty insults. "What's your thoughts about me being a piece of shit"? Is more or less how your question went.
And I won't be lectured to about being "seriously wrong" from a potential would-be mass shooter type who is deep in far-right echo chamber messageboards.
Honestly, if that's the lesson you've drawn from this exchange, there's clearly something seriously wrong with you. Think of my question as a kind of Rorschach test revealing your true nature. And you, sir, have a major malfunction.
shareMore pathetic insults. That's all you've got. No arguments, just resorting to insults and baseless accusations that the other party simply doesn't get it, that's there's some mysterious secret that I don't get, can't grasp, on account of not being in the in-group. Cult mentality.
That you wish liberals, or progressives deads is a necessary component on your fascist worldview. It's a prerequisite. It's nothing that can't already be inferred the moment someone self-described as such, and so you being drawn to being a complete potentially murderous psychopath is of no surprise.
I'll leave the arguments for other members of this board. Maybe someone will have the patience to explain this whole thread to you.
shareArguments *for what*? The only argument we've had here is again you trying to claim that you support free expression whilst claiming to be a fascist, and wanting all 'wokes' rounded up and jailed or killed. Trying to fit that square peg into a round hole. You being a walking contradiction is simply a matter for everyone to see.
shareYou know what your problem is? I think that due to your profoundly annoying autism, you've been told to kill yourself so many times by so many people that youāve started to believe it, resulting in a warped view of people.
shareI don't believe it at all. And I've mostly been threatened, not told to kill myself. A detail. I'm not remotely suicidal. The point is that they are still direct violations of site TOS.
share>The answer to this question is key to understanding my arguments for fascism and the extermination of those who hold progressive views
Can you clarify here. Are you calling now for my "extermination"?
Can you clarify here. Are you calling now for my "extermination"?
Thank you for proving my point. I knew you wouldn't let me down.
What does it feel like to be completely oblivious of something that to everyone else in this thread is obvious?
That's not an answer. Should I be "exterminated"?
shareShould I be "exterminated"?
Retard.
So you're not willing to directly say it. You want me dead.
Do you think it's reasonable for me to talk to someone who wants me dead like they're a piece of shit?
Why don't you ask another member of the board and see if they'll explain this whole thread to you.
You want me dead.
You really are socially retarded.
They're welcome to. I'd like see them, many of whom deny being far-right or fascists make excuses for why I deserve to die or the thought process behind you calling for the mass incarceration or extermination of all 'woke' people.
All the while purporting to be in favour of civil liberties. How's that for being socially retarded?
WHOA BUTTHOLE!....YOU CAN BE A CANTANKEROUS OLD FUCKER ALL DAY LONG...THROWING AUTISM INTO YOUR SHIT WORD SALAD IS JUST DISRESPECTFUL AND SUPER DOUCHEBAGGY.
shareApologies, I forgot we're on the General board. Just to clarify, I have nothing against autistic people in general ā I just can't stand Skavauās particular brand of āautism.ā And to be clear, I'm talking about his personality (heās not actually autistic).
shareRight about what?
shareThe reports. The way it came out was one of the funniest exchanges I've seen on this site.
shareWell I never denied sending in reports.
I suspect that not many people send in reports at all on here, to be honest.
It was great to have the mods expose Skavauās dirty history of false reporting people he disagrees with - which we all knew - but also the way Mod4 revealed that he badgers them if they donāt delete posts fast enough š¤£
Hilarious that this fascistic little fuck spends 24/7 calling other people āfascistsā and berating them for being insufficiently liberal.
What an absolutely vile sack of shit.
No doubt heāll appear within moments of me sending this post to make his usual pack of pathetic excuses, and try to shift the blame onto the modsā¦ šš»
There has been no "false reporting". I've always reported things for being threats, incitements to violence and spam. They also didn't show any receipts, or examples of what they were referring to.
>which we all knew - but also the way Mod4 revealed that he badgers them if they donāt delete posts fast enough š¤£
They referenced me reporting twice on some occasions, which was likely a mistake - especially when dealing with spam posts that all look the same.
>Hilarious that this fascistic little fuck spends 24/7 calling other people āfascistsā and berating them for being insufficiently liberal.
I don't think I've ever berated anyone for being "insufficiently liberal". I absolutely judge and challenge people for being overtly fascist, but that's not the same thing at all there. In addition, you still can't mesh the elephant in the room here: I'm not deleting posts that I report. The mods are. How are they not fascist also, by your logic?
>No doubt heāll appear within moments of me sending this post to make his usual pack of pathetic excuses, and try to shift the blame onto the modsā¦ šš»
I'm not blaming the mods for anything. The point is that by your logic, they're just as implicated. They're not in thrall to me. They don't just do my bidding. I don't make them delete your comments. Why did they delete your comments?
It was definitely funny how it came about. It reminded me of when kids deny something and then after proof has been shown they instantly say it was because the other one did it first.
I don't hate Skavau like some on here though. I think it's interesting being able to debate with an incarnation of the status quo manifesting as a poster here on Moviechat that defends norms with such consistency, even if the things being defended aren't consistent with each other. The reporting is lame but it's gone on so long that even the mods don't take it seriously, so really it's more something to laugh at than be concerned about.
Skavau's ability to respond to posts quickly is bizarrely impeccable for sure. I've summoned Skavau myself a few times just through name and have had replies within minutes. I definitely think your posting history and curiousmind's are skimmed by Skavau regularly based on what I've seen.
>I don't hate Skavau like some on here though. I think it's interesting being able to debate with an incarnation of the status quo manifesting as a poster here on Moviechat that defends norms with such consistency, even if the things being defended aren't consistent with each other.
Name me an inconsistency please.
>The reporting is lame but it's gone on so long that even the mods don't take it seriously, so really it's more something to laugh at than be concerned about.
I mean the mods do actually remove a lot of the things I report. Part of why Melton is so fuming right now is that they deleted some messages from him for spam.
>I definitely think your posting history and curiousmind's are skimmed by Skavau regularly based on what I've seen.
Melton 100% stalks my posting history. Do you ever notice that? He turns up in threads I have no interaction with in him, just to shit-talk me. He does this a lot. Check his posting history on this. He is utterly obsessed with following me around.
"Name me an inconsistency please."
Claiming to support free speech while topping the list of most reports here is inconsistent.
>Claiming to support free speech while topping the list of most reports here is inconsistent.
Moviechat is a private website. I think any chat or forum community run by a private individual or company should have the right to set their own rules of engagement. Not sure how that contradicts with the position that the state shouldn't arrest you for expressing positions. They're very different things.
I top the reports almost certainly because no-one gets the persistent level of abuse I get here. I also suspect that there aren't that many reports made either meaning it doesn't take many reports to top the list.
That freak responds within seconds of you replying, or even posting about him, and itās not just this site - heās on Reddit 24/7 too (where of course the mods will ban anyone he likes without question).
Which means heās utterly insane, or a bot. The latter wouldnāt surprise me - notice how he uses Redditās markup language. He quotes people
>like this
when on Moviechat one quotes people
like this
Dude, yes I use reddit, yes I use reddits markup language. I've never said I don't. And no, I don't just get anyone who I dislike on Reddit banned - that's not really possible. I don't know why you keep telling people this as if it's some secret. It's simply quicker to do than use moviechats in-built quote function.
>Then thereās the ācontentā - the same drivel every time, the same shitty sophistry, endless Straw and Hatchling questions, constant lies, constantly baiting people into saying things he can report to get them censored and banned (as you so eloquently described in that superb description you made about him) and always on behalf of the regime.
You've never been able to name a single lie, or explain how a single question is a straw or "hatchling" (which has a specific definition which you seem to ignore).
The same old accusations, the same old tired attacks. You've been singing from the same hymn sheet for nearly a year now. Following me around in thread to thread, hurling abuse at me. Editing your posts hours later to try and make it look like I said or agreed to something I didn't. It wouldn't surprise me if up to half of your posts are about me now. You are utterly obsessed with me to the point where you've essentially created a kind of eldritch abomination, a mythos surrounding me. You're in no position to accuse anyone of having any unhealthy online habits. You come across as deeply, deeply unwell.
I am genuinely perplexed how saying the exact same things over and over aren't boring you at this point.
>Hey Skavau, appear within seconds of me posting this to make more pathetic excuses and regurgitate the same tedious drivel weāve just discussed. Goā¦
And here it is again. The same old post-edit I referred to. The exact same thing across so many of your posts. I repeat: I am genuinely amazed this isn't boring to you.
