like a religion.

It is a dogma.

Welcome to SaidIt, where you'll still see a lot of politics and stuff to care about, but you'll have the freedom not to and to rant as you see fit.

The FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) includes the few site-wide rules:

We now know what you don't like. What are you interested in? Perhaps I/we can point out some of those topical subs that you may like.

    It is not enough to not be political. To not be political is political. We must be actively anti-political.

    To be anti-political is political, silly billy

    I gave up long ago, I still read the crap and creat a one time account to post my opinion. As I see reddit and all reddit "people" think alike and has no place for opposing opinions.

    No just for shits and grins you should creat an account just to post opposing opinions, I personally add hay Kapo mods keep trying to ban me.

    This is brilliant. (Saiditors also repeat stupid statements.) The stupid 13-year-old responses seem to change every few years, but these have been used for 6+ years:

    I like you

    this will get buried but brace yourselves

    some men want to watch the world burn

    I got booted recently from r/libertarian when I pointed out that the mods were communists and were gas-lighting everyone.

    Good on you. Personally, I prefer Voat.xyz over Saidit as I can downvoat stupid shit over there.

    [–]Node 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Ugliest site on the internet. Someone recently gave me a revised color scheme for the site that makes it actually readable. Not as nice as saidit, but far closer to saidit than the default .

    You can't stay away from the trash if you use reddit. The smell of pedophilia and social justice is on you.

    Sorry you were banned.

    No one genuinely requires you to care about most things. Here's part of the problem: parents and friends normally talk with us rather early on about the so-called 'golden rule', empathy, simpathy, shared interests, narcissism, etc. If you want to be taken seriously, or to keep your friendships, you treat others the way in which you want them to treat you. For example, you care enough about this rant in order to post it at Reddit and here. Those who are likely to agree with you and share your disinterest will most likely also not care about you. And of course some who disagree will recommend that you die alone, albeit a rather impolite response. It you want a literary source for selfishness and narcissism, read anything by Ayn Rand. She was among the worst people in the world. I hope this helps.

        Thanks for this.

        I recall that she collected stamps in her NY apartment, and now wonder what happened to the stamps. Something I've liked about collecting stamps is what they've taught me over the years about history. In answer to the final question above: her solitary life, stamp collecting, and reflections of her younger life in Russia and the US (as we reflect more when we get older), must have made her return to thoughts of romantic realism, classical liberals, Aristotle and Aquinas, much of which is at odds with her work in the 1940s and '50s. There were ways to convert those early approaches to a post-enlightenment way of thinking about the value of reeason in society, but there is no evidence that she bothered to consider this. It annoys me that she helped promote narcisism as a self-help aspect of anti-psychiatry movement ('60s-'70s) and the 'me, me, me' era of the 1970s, because both movements inspired baby boomers to abuse US politics and the economy, environment, social funding, news media, &c, at the expense of their children and grand children.

        Hypocrisy knows no partisan lines. Thank you for posting this. A perfect example of the intellect and the spirit being out of sync. I feel sorry for her. Based on what you've written, she would hate me for that.

        Good write-up but I wouldn't call Rand a 'heroine of the american right' libertarianism and randian objectivism only crept into the right in the 80's and 90's. It's not a permanent feature (hopefully). It mysteriously follows the introduction of the neoconservatives to right wing politics.

          as a college freshman in 1945 she joined the Young People's Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party of America, influenced by her grandfather who was a founder of the Populist and Socialist parties in Oklahoma

          Lol. A female college socialist would later go on to be a thought leader in Reagan's admin? Doesn't surprise me at all!

            Yeah my mother is a dyed in the wool liberal who can't comprehend why working class white men support republicans. To her republicans will always be fat cat big business hand out types that hate unions and hate the poor. For the life of me though I can't get it through to her the both political parties cater to big business. The WASP's decided not to really have children and many of them have been actively taken out by a new type of oligarch. The average working class person of all political views and races is getting screwed in our current system. I'm not sure if you noticed but the oligarchs had to spool up racial conflict again after the occupy wallstreet movement in 2012. I find it fascinating how they noticed that the plebs were getting to close to the source of power and had to reboot divide and conquer psyops.

            Side note: I've been doing a little lurking on your comment history. You've got a great depth of knowledge and wit. I hope you get a chance to venture over to s/debateallright and make some comments or posts. We've had some good conversations lately and I think I can speak for all the goys when I say we'd love to get your take on things.

            sorry to hear about your experience with reddit

            reddit sucks, welcome 2 saidit

            social justice is becoming a circle jerk more and more, sadly

            Instagram seems like a positive community though

            You can willfully be not informed on politics, but please don't vote then.
