if you do not believe that flagging a person because you do not agree with them is ok, that is your prerogative.

I see it as a violent act, an act of aggression.

There are obviously aggressive people who feel the need to dominate others using violent means and larken has shown himself to be such a person. how anyone can respect such an individual is beyond my comprehension.

There is absolutely no logical reason for him to be behaving this way because it can only escalate in one form or another.

"I see it as a violent act." You are either delusional, or dishonest (maybe both). And your continuing bullshit, where you complain about down-voting troll posts, while trying to defend ACTUAL harassment and thuggery, shows what you really are. Nice try.

Thanks for the reply.

What harassment and thuggery did I defend?
I can see how you could take that view, however I was addressing my reaction to your post. I am not yet convinced that Adam had some malicious intention toward you. Gosh that video of him made him look like dick. It seems that you really rattle him.

I have seen your most recent youtube video and am unable to disagree with what you are saying. It does outline one of the problems we face and it seems likely that more people will have negative life changing experiences because some brain washed clown follows orders. However it felt like you were widening a gap rather than bridging a gap.
To my way of thinking we need to learn how to connect with people in positive ways if we want to create a positive change in the world.

go back to facebook buddy kokesh is a mutherfucker.
cant believe i was actually fooled by him and now wheni watch him in the video his posture his way of saying things i dont need anybody to tell me this man is full of shit
open your eyes or go back to facebook where people like you belong
you sound like your educated by the wrong people lol

Amusing rant. But not at all informative.

How do you know he is any more full of shit than you are?

What are the facts about the misdeeds he is guilty of?
I have been looking but all I can find are trolls with no hard evidence.
I was not impressed with some his attention grabbing strategies when he had that show on RT but so what, lots of people do stupid shit including you and I.

And bwt, you have no clue about my education or who's work I study and take seriously

not meant to be informative lol
i studied body language for quite a while and he is full of shit
have a good day joe P didnt mean to sound like a rant but i definitley am not you kind ofr guy
im way more in line with mr rose
i think your way more educated than me in grammar thats for sure but dont think you can see in front of your nose on mr kokesh

and by the way this inst meant to be informative
are all posts only supposed to be on here if they are informative and to some this is very informative
cheers

Hey @nickgrujic Regarding Kokesh and Rose, I think that nether of them are that great. In some respects they are kind of the same but you are right, they have obvious differences.
I would not trust ether of them to any great extent just yet.
There are aspects in each of them that I quite like. They both publicly promote a style of communication that resonates deeply with me. Kokesh has integrated that style into his being far more than Rose has.

if you want to know more about that style of communication here is a link

i watched session7 and i just started laughing when he said he put the same amount of fake psychotherapists and hey did just as well as the real therapists.
i lived next door to one and i helped so many people more with their problems than he could
i told him your the doctor but i know people way way better than he did
also i really agree with lots he says
but i also believe that every person is an individual i had to be a bastard with some kids and other sugar would work if you know what i mean
another example empathy would not help me at all i would just get more upset and do something about it but do believe having empathy works for most people
great stuff i usually hate shrink cause most of them are morally bankrupt and inept at their jobs but this guy seems to know what hes talking about
if i had to send anyone to a shrink it would be someone like him
as for kokesh his body language is giving him away big time and i can see what you mean about kokesh style but rose is way more honest than this man when they talk and watch their mannerisms even when rose is upset you can see he has nothing to hide but kokesh hes a classic
nothing will change my mind on that he looks conducts and speaks like a crooked politician which all of them are
finding onet that isnt is very rare
ron paul comes to mind
have a good evening

i also think kokesh resonates that style and does not do it justice whatsoever
showing apathy and not being sincere is like being a sociopath.
that video of him blaming bewick for a 1000 dollars is a joke and watch it a few times carefully and you will see when he is trying to remain calm and his hand gestures gives him away . ijust watched it again and im just shaking my head lol
been reading berwick for a decade an upstanding and honest man and my favorite canadian
thats how i stumbled on to kokesh and rose and i like rose 100 times better than kokesh from their body language
kokesh lies and rose has not that i have found so far and even i dont agree with everythig he says but most of it is spot on for me
kokesh on the other hand well lets not get into that lol
enjoy your day joe public

i meant showing empathy and not being sincere is like being a sociopath
my bad grammar and my bad lol

@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!!!

violence noun
vi·o·lence | \ˈvī-lən(t)s, ˈvī-ə-
Definition of violence
1a : the use of physical force so as to injure, abuse, damage, or destroy
b : an instance of violent treatment or procedure
2 : injury by or as if by distortion, infringement, or profanation : OUTRAGE
3a : intense, turbulent, or furious and often destructive action or force
the violence of the storm
b : vehement feeling or expression : FERVOR
also : an instance of such action or feeling
c : a clashing or jarring quality : DISCORDANCE

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.
