Even if he is aware of it and agrees with it that doesn't make anything Lindsay said wrong. Spending more than 5 hours a week on games is pretty childish regardless of whether the one saying so is concerned with being an adult. People here just don't like to hear it because vidya games are their escape to a simpler time of care-free childhood and child-like fantasy.
Adults aren't normally afraid of being seen as childish because they don't do childish things and in any case aren't overly concerned with how others perceive them. But if an adult plays with a rattle and wears diapers then that is still to their shame and they ought to be ashamed - not because of how others will perceive them, but because they are being immature and foolish. Same thing if you waste all your free time getting worthless video game points instead of improving yourself or contributing to society.
No but I don't waste time living in the past either. You can bury yourself in a hole and rot away to nothing if you like, but that's just prolonging the inevitable.
You must have an extremely low opinion of this place if you're saying this board is for man-children who want to be immature and foolish instead of doing anything useful. Perhaps you happen to be lost?
No, I'm saying anyone who would even think to cast that aspersion doesn't belong here to begin with because they're clearly an outsider to the culture.
This blade was honed on the foreskins of 10,000 shabbos goys and entrusted to their chief lieutenant. He is a blade dancer whose Dance of the Chosen reflects the beauty of the relationship of master and vassal, of the greatest of allies.
Usually with these internet figures there's some element of difficulty to their work that makes me think "hmm that probably takes effort" like Laura Loomer being everywhere at once or Cernovich bragging about making documentaries. But with James Lindsay I genuinely can't see anything I couldn't knock off on a Sunday afternoon and probably do his job 10x better. He just posts retarded college freshman takes on twitter all day. That's literally all he does.
All he did was perform a diversionary maneuver to catch the overflow from leftist insanity and route people back into a holding pattern--less leftist, but still far from the right.
The grievance studies affair was the project of a team of three authors—Peter Boghossian, James A. Lindsay, and Helen Pluckrose—to highlight what they saw as poor scholarship and erosion of standards in several academic fields.
Taking place over 2017 and 2018, their project entailed submitting bogus papers to academic journals on topics from the field of critical social theory such as cultural, queer, race, gender, fat, and sexuality studies to determine whether they would pass through peer review and be accepted for publication. Four of these papers were subsequently published, which the authors cited in support of their contention.
Yes. They pulled off a prank on academic journals. It was a great joke, and (re-)exposed the idiocy in academia for a minute. I believe it just happened to come at a time that 'wokeness' was getting discovered by normies, so it gave Lindsay a bigger platform.
She completely discredited herself, is an absolute lunatic, and was a joke even before becoming even more of a deranged Zionist post October 7th...and yet she's only failed upwards, and now has the President's ear, and DoD or something?
Laura Loomer deserves to be just an angry internet person yelling at clouds like James Lindsay, by almost all metrics.
I had the same position as he did because I thought she was a MAGA pitbull who could go off the rails sometimes but did genuinely did good work identifying leftists in the government etc. This year she has exposed herself as a psycho Zionist asset and traitor and I completely agree with you. She clearly gets info from Mossad and even though there's still some people she calls out where it's needed, it's also clear she's there to keep actual based people out
Never said she would, but she has gone after some good targets.
Hell, I have her muted because she's an insane Zionist, but when I hear about some leftist "resistance" person being fired because she dug up details on them I'm still happy with the result.
He was masterful at slogging through the literature of wokeist Marcuse and Gramsci worshipping retards and pointing out how fucking stupid "Critical Theory" actually was. There is no amount of money on the planet that could make me subject myself to that kind of academic torture.
But he was still a liberal and as such he couldn't handle it when real conservatives starting pushing back against the leftists.
Lmao holy shit she massacred him, that ratio is hilarious. This is going to make him even more deranged. He's been embarrassing himself for a while now, he completely killed his reputation
He also gloated about the rubble. Imagine going to Israel on a propaganda tour, touching the wall, and then being a soulless shit and bragging about the death and displacement of mostly civilians.
He got lost in a big way, both intellectually and spiritually.
"And he said: 'Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.'"
The quote is refering to the wonders of the mind of a child. The best movie that exemplifies this is Pan's Labyrinth.
The people who suggest an adult doing something like playing video games is childish and they should grow up are actually being anti-biblical (and women do this lots). There's a reason you shouldn't listen to women very much when it comes to biblical things.
If an adult wants to video tape himself sword fighting like a kid then he should, be all means and people can laugh but we should also envy his ability to be like a child and enjoy such things. You don't become an adult by being unable to enjoy these things people see as childish but in actuality, you become satanic. A person of this world instead of a person of the world of light.
Lindsay trying to disown his previous actions as an adult and being defensively embarassed about them. If anything, it just show how far he has fallen into the depths of hell. A good man would take the opportunity to do a new updated 46yo version of the same thing then post it online. Never apologize for having the wondrous mind of a child. It's something many people lose and losing it is not mature nor is it good.
I'm not going to try to justify time playing videogames as productive but it's a sign of affluence that we are able to dedicate any portion of our lives to idle pursuits.
I don't know anything about samurai swords or whatever that is so I can't comment on that, but Lindsay's first tweet is correct. Adults shouldn't be spending much time on video games. Adults should be looking after their families, making society better and being a role model to others, not focusing on their own pleasure every day. Selfish pleasures and entertainment should only be indulged in moderation to prevent addiction and maintain focus on things that actually matter and having a lasting impact.
I know he's quoting 1st Corinthians but is he really unaware of the famous extension of this quote?
“When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” -- C.S. Lewis
I guarantee is deliberately cut off the quote because the entire thing completely contradicts his usage of it.
An Atheist Jew using an out-of-context Bible verse to suit his current purpose? What is this, science fiction?
I like the version from the dedication in LWW.
"[...] you are already too old for fairy tales, [...] But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again."

>contributing to society
How's that working out for you?
Society is (((fake))) and (((gay))) but the RTTL guys are making the most of it.
You seem lost friend. I don't think this is the board for you.
Is modern gaming suddenly not absolute shit?
Do you limit yourself to modern books, films and music?
No but I don't waste time living in the past either. You can bury yourself in a hole and rot away to nothing if you like, but that's just prolonging the inevitable.

Sarcasm, my dude
OK. What does that have to do with video games?
Sucks to suck. I finished my PhD while playing video games. 🤷♂️
Wrote a thesis on videogame history.

He is famous for his New Discourses disassembly of critical theory. Thats it. He is a one hit wonder coasting on that one thing he did.
All he did was perform a diversionary maneuver to catch the overflow from leftist insanity and route people back into a holding pattern--less leftist, but still far from the right.
Oh good, a Peterson style gatekeeper.

So they exposed the system of being retarded, by being retarded?
Yes. They pulled off a prank on academic journals. It was a great joke, and (re-)exposed the idiocy in academia for a minute. I believe it just happened to come at a time that 'wokeness' was getting discovered by normies, so it gave Lindsay a bigger platform.
Joke's on them, he was only pretending!
To be fair, Laura Loomer confuses me more.
She completely discredited herself, is an absolute lunatic, and was a joke even before becoming even more of a deranged Zionist post October 7th...and yet she's only failed upwards, and now has the President's ear, and DoD or something?
Laura Loomer deserves to be just an angry internet person yelling at clouds like James Lindsay, by almost all metrics.
I just hope her tires are alright now.
You can't discredit what has no credit.
Point is, she was already a joke, and then went even more crazy...and then somehow only went upward in influence. That's fucking wild.
She's an Israeli asset. That's why.
Laura Loomer is someone you want on your side, precisely because she's insane.
You keep her at arm's length and let her go after your enemies, and when she does something/finds something useful you take advantage of it.
And when she does something insane you say, "well yeah, she's crazy."
Nah, I want nothing to do with that psycho bitch. But you do you.
I had the same position as he did because I thought she was a MAGA pitbull who could go off the rails sometimes but did genuinely did good work identifying leftists in the government etc. This year she has exposed herself as a psycho Zionist asset and traitor and I completely agree with you. She clearly gets info from Mossad and even though there's still some people she calls out where it's needed, it's also clear she's there to keep actual based people out
Not really addressing what I said, but you do you.
She will never go against her own tribe.
Never said she would, but she has gone after some good targets.
Hell, I have her muted because she's an insane Zionist, but when I hear about some leftist "resistance" person being fired because she dug up details on them I'm still happy with the result.
Oh that's the guy? I listen to his podcast sometimes.
He's pretty smart but he might have a touch of the 'tism. That sword shit is embarrassing.
He was masterful at slogging through the literature of wokeist Marcuse and Gramsci worshipping retards and pointing out how fucking stupid "Critical Theory" actually was. There is no amount of money on the planet that could make me subject myself to that kind of academic torture.
But he was still a liberal and as such he couldn't handle it when real conservatives starting pushing back against the leftists.
Lmao holy shit she massacred him, that ratio is hilarious. This is going to make him even more deranged. He's been embarrassing himself for a while now, he completely killed his reputation
I may have said this before, but the old adage still rings true: James Lindsay is a stupid, stupid faggot.
No worries, it's an evergreen comment.
This is also pretty embarrassing:
https://xcancel.com/ConceptualJames/status/1980263181021802650
LOL "Here I am Lord"? You're an atheist, what "Lord" would that be?
"G-d" presumably.
He also gloated about the rubble. Imagine going to Israel on a propaganda tour, touching the wall, and then being a soulless shit and bragging about the death and displacement of mostly civilians.
He got lost in a big way, both intellectually and spiritually.
and anyone who calls him out is labeled 'woke right'
Mammon, Moloch, Forneus...
That image gave me a terminal dose of second-hand cringe.
Not nearly as embarrassing as him thinking "liberty" is riding a choo-choo train:
https://x.com/BenjaminABoyce/status/1978113704722936002
I mean I COULD do that and look like a twat with a sword..or:
Could follow the Spanish sword training of kicking you in the balls
The Italian way of throwing a cape over your head and brutally stabbing you as you're blinded
Late medieval way of wearing armour so good swords are ineffective and better off with a mace.
The battlefield tested alpha move was "tackle around the waist then draw your dagger and stab the throat"
Matthew 18:3 (NIV)
"And he said: 'Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.'"

He’s an Atheist, doesn’t that make all of his time equally meaningless? Why not waste it on something you enjoy?
You like them Spaniard girls eh? Lol
I don't know anything about samurai swords or whatever that is so I can't comment on that, but Lindsay's first tweet is correct. Adults shouldn't be spending much time on video games.

When you get old you put your dick away
There is literally nothing wrong with spinning around in the yard with a sword. There are much better angles from which to attack James Lindsay.
To be fair HEMA and Kenjutsu can be good exercise. That said, James Lindsay is an enormous fag-o-matic.
