Kinda surprised he hasn't start e-begging yet. He has that deal with NordVPN going (77% off) which is a company based in Panama. The owners of NordVPN are completely anonymous and nobody really knows who's running that show which is actually strange as hell, as usually the VPN providers are pretty public about their leadership because VPN companies are a lot about trust. I know this because some goon pointed it out in the Lowtax-disease Thread and Lowtax immediately replied that they're based in NY actually, which isn't true. (and which also was one of the few things he bothered replying to) Nobody pushed it further (probably because nobody wanted to get banned) so there was no "SO DONT BUY MY FUCKING VPN" meltdown.

I used to like SA for the threads in the hobby forums and games where the signal-to-noise ratio was a lot better than something like reddit but all that shitty political and progressive stuff leeched into there too. I think the two straws that broke the camels back for me were people taking about some youtuber or other and calling him a she where he was clearly a man and had the voice of a man (this actually genuinely confused me for a moment until I remembered what forum I was in) and people talking about their gross sexual proclivities in some completely unrelated thread. (something goons love to do) SA isn't even useful for it's subforums anymore. (That most subforums are circlejerk-y as hell doesn't help either) Funnily the other side besides the communist tranny NEETs are alcoholic and bitter 30-somethings that actually do work and have a family, and are constantly posting about how much they hate their life. I have no idea what they're still doing in a place like this.
 
He has zero self awareness.

Heres a prime example of what youre talking about:

Yes please virtue signal in my thread about movie reviewers from Millwaukee you faggot.
 
So GBS had a thread about jordon peterson it got moved to cspam but this stood out to me

A goon makes a very fair point that left people trying to yell down peterson made him stronger and then peterson makes the same point on joe rogans pod cast

Yes rather to engage with real debate its just "shut up"

Also is that LMO getting all transgressive about a review of a 1970's indie movie made by a famous open gay man?

Jay (and maybe Mike?) used to post on SA, but goons ran him off because they dared to say that Red Tails was a bad movie that was pandering about being progressive. Which makes RLM yet another successful Internet outfit that goons sacrificed on the alter of virtue signaling.

RLM is plenty successful on its own, so it's not really that it was sacrificed so much as the progtards sacrificed their own connection to a successful thing so they could wallow in righteous failure.

That guy was probably getting shit on mostly because he used the term "SJW"

You aren't allowed to claim people are social justice warriors or say that someone is virtue signaling on Something Awful. I've seen people probated for it repeatedly. Whenever mods don't catch it the posters dogpile the person calling them an alt-right nazi.

Peterson uses that term himself so I'm sure he's persona non grata on SA anyway, unless of course you're making fun of him being a cishet white male with a good job, healthy family, respected career, overflowing patreon and international following

goons hate nothing more than a winner
 
Lowtax exhibiting classic progtard reverse-logic. If you have a claim to make lowtax, you prove it with your own evidence. Not Metokur's job to shoulder responsibility for your vague charges.

I agree in theory, but he didn't really make Metokur prove anything. It basically went:

Lowtax: "My wife says X but I say not X"
Metokur: "It's not X"
Lowtax: "I knew it!"

You know what they say, "the internet makes you stupid".
 
I know this has become the defacto Lowtax thread but this caught my attention from a Two Best Friends thread:

Context: a podcast where the people involved mentioned being fucked over in their jobs (bosses making them work for free, during day offs, etc...) and how that shit is illegal. Somehow this turns into "WE NEED MORE COMMUNIST LPers!".
These people are mentally ill. Extremely mentally ill. At this point there's nothing justifying such an extreme disconnect from the state of the world beyond willful ignorance. I'm pretty sure even the ResetEra community isn't as dumb as them.

Matt's turned into a bit of a virtue signalling fruitcake since Trump got elected, Retweeting shit from rat kings, inviting Laura K. Buzz onto the podcast, and rubbing elbows with the likes of Zoe Quinn. His love of giant anime tits is going to keep him out of the inner circle, though.
