(Leftists SJW mods Renamed) Communism v Capitalism - Page 2 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

You sound like a collectivist. Libertarians believe in the primacy of the individual conscience, not whether someone is going against the values of some notional community.

Profound !
But unfortunately too complicated for them to understand...

How much harder to do so for a giant of kamikaze posting, who moved the moderators of Politics and Society toward banning him, and in the process left billions around the world unaffected.

Joined during the beginnings of the Corona Pandemic, far from ever posting in Politics, a boy raised playing on 888poker and tutored by the elders of his libertarian tribe – Rikotime would emerge as the first great libertarian kamikaze poster of the 21th century. Like Gandhi, he would lead a resistance movement – a movement that at its start held little prospect of success. Like King, he would give potent voice to the claims of the libertarian Poker community, and the moral necessity of keeping SJWs out of it.

Given the sweep of his posting record, and the ridicule that he so rightly earned, it is tempting then to remember Rikotime as an icon, using questionable grammar and sounding like a collectivist, detached from the tawdry affairs of lesser men. But Rikotime himself strongly resisted such a lifeless portrait. Instead, he insisted on sharing with us his opinions and beliefs; his miscalculations along with his victories. “Leftists SJW mods on this site are a disgrace to libertarian nature of poker community” he wrote, “Hopefully this is enough to get my account banned because I cannot find ‘delete your account option’”.

After this great kamikaze poster is laid to rest; when we have returned to our cities and villages, and rejoined our daily routines, let us search then for his strength – for his largeness of spirit – somewhere inside ourselves. And when the night grows dark, when injustice weighs heavy on our hearts, or our best laid plans seem beyond our reach – think of Rikotime, and the words that brought him comfort within his parent’s basement:

Just go ahead and ban me mate
What are you, weak? What are you, old?
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

What a great soul he was. We will miss him deeply. May Bobo Fett bless the memory of Rikotime. May God bless the people of Politics and Society.

Minor point - I think it's "largesse" of spirit, not "largeness" of spirit. Not a criticism, because I loved the whole thing, more a suggestion for future missives.

Largeness and largesse have different meanings and presumably from the context he meant largeness.

Right. "Largesse" means "generosity", "largeness" means "something big". From context, I inferred he meant "generosity of spirit".

"Largesse of spirit" is also, you know, an idiom.

Also worth noting, the entirety of the “Poker community “ consists of people who like to play poker.

Did you see when I posted the "you can't handle the truth" speech in the riggie thread, and some guy thought it was actually me talking? I mean, that's ridiculous. It referenced a "Lieutenant Weinberg" lol.
