RE: A Forking Good Time
@joe.public Thank you for responding. You are clearly misusing the word violence. If you said sensor I could understand much better. I have been following you for only 2 of Larken's posts and it seems to me you are spamming (irrelevant or inappropriate messages ) or worse yet harassing, more than you are adding value. I flag people for slander, spamming or just very bad content on this platform. Steemit encourages users to upvote or flag to ensure readers see quality content. I will try my best to understand that maybe you have a longer history than I know about with Larken but you should self-evaluate the way you are using words.
Hi @jasonhenza Happy New Year.
Do you see the word violence as only referring to the physical plane of existence?
I would like to persuade you that words and attitudes can be even more damaging than physical blows. As an example it is known that within societies with wide or widening wealth gaps, we see increases in physical and mental health issues within that population. It can be as subtle as how people are viewed.
I have seen lots of larkin's work over the years. I do not think I have communicated with him before. I may have, but i don't think so.
@joe.public Happy New Year to you and your family!!!

OK, I now see how you are using the word.
Not sure how that is against common anarchist morality (NAP) but at least I understand you better. Maybe I have to reread some things you wrote. I see Larken's acts as him taking responsibility for freedom, pointing out the amoral actions of others will help people from getting violated. I think it is a net positive to have individuals warning people and disassociating of repeat violators. This isn't the first time people have pointed out Adam's moral character flaws, Larken just has a really loud voice.
What actions do you see that are irresponsible from Larken? On Larken's thread, shouldn't he have control of the content or is he going to you page and flagging evertything?
Thank you and all the best to you and yours in the new year.
I really like this question.
''What actions do you see that are irresponsible from Larken?''
Encouraging people to adopt a negative hostile attitude toward people who do not share his view. He would do well to learn from Adam on that score.
The funny thing is that i can agree with Larken on so much.
There are a lot of people who support this corrupt system we find ourselves in. The way out, can only be through connecting with people in a way that does not condemn them but helps them understand how they were conditioned into supporting corrupt practices and then supporting them through the process of undoing that. Non of us are perfect not even larkin, adam or you and I. We all need feedback and support if we are to create a better world.
Right now i am not sure if larken is really batting for the other team or if he is really just more interested in himself and his own personal gains.
