18. Modern /nasfaqg/ oshicoiners tend to dismiss reason, numbers, objective reality and to insist that everything is culturally relative. It is true that one can ask serious questions about the foundations of numeric knowledge and about how, if at all, the concept of objective reality can be defined. But it is obvious that modern /nasfaqg/ oshicoiners are not simply cool-headed logicians systematically analyzing the foundations of knowledge. They are deeply involved emotionally in their attack on truth and reality. They attack these concepts because of their own psychological needs. For one thing, their attack is an outlet for hostility, and, to the extent that it is successful, it satisfies the drive for power. More importantly, the threadfag hates numbers and rationality because they classify certain beliefs as true (i.e., successful, superior) and other beliefs as false (i.e., failed, inferior). The threadfag’s feelings of inferiority run so deep that he cannot tolerate any classification of some things as successful or superior and other things as failed or inferior. This also underlies the rejection by many threadfags of the concept of mental illness and of the utility of MPP. Threadfags are antagonistic to statistical explanations of coin abilities or behavior because such explanations tend to make some wallets appear superior or inferior to others. Oshicoiners prefer to give society the credit or blame for an coin’s ability or lack of it. Thus if a coin is "inferior" it is not her fault, but society's, because she has not been bought up properly.

19. The threadfag is not typically the kind of person whose feelings of inferiority make him a braggart, an egotist, a bully, a self-promoter, a ruthless competitor. This kind of person has not wholly lost faith in himself. He has a deficit in his sense of power and self-worth, but he can still conceive of himself as having the capacity to be strong, and his efforts to make himself strong produce his unpleasant behavior. [1] But the threadfag is too far gone for that. His feelings of inferiority are so ingrained that he cannot conceive of himself as individually strong and valuable. Hence the collectivism of the zaibatsufag. He can feel strong only as a member of a large organization or a mass movement with which he identifies himself.

20. Notice the masochistic tendency of threadfag tactics. They protest by lying down in front of honk, they intentionally provoke baiters or applause to abuse them, etc. These tactics may often be effective, but many threadfags use them not as a means to an end but because they PREFER masochistic tactics. Self-hatred is a thread trait.

21. Threadfags may claim that their activism is motivated by compassion or by moral principles, and moral principle does play a role for the threadfag of the oversocialized type. But compassion and moral principle cannot be the main motives for thread activism. Hostility is too prominent a component of thread behavior; so is the drive for power. Moreover, much thread behavior is not rationally calculated to be of benefit to the people whom the threadposters claim to be trying to help. For example, if one believes that affirmative action is good for groomable newfags, does it make sense to demand affirmative action in hostile or dogmatic terms? Obviously it would be more productive to take a diplomatic and conciliatory approach that would make at least verbal and symbolic concessions to oldfags who think that affirmative action discriminates against them. But newfag activists do not take such an approach because it would not satisfy their emotional needs. Helping newfags is not their real goal. Instead, newfags serve as an excuse for them to express their own hostility and frustrated need for power. In doing so they actually harm newfags, because the activists' hostile attitude toward the oldfags tends to intensify newfag hatred.

22. If our thread had no social problems at all, the faggots would have to INVENT problems in order to provide themselves with an excuse for making a fuss.

23. We emphasize that the foregoing does not pretend to be an accurate description of everyone who might be considered a threadfag. It is only a rough indication of a general tendency of threadfaggotry.

these threads are a sad sight
