How I explained Atlas's use of FF and HP to a friend

[OSR stands with Israel]

I just basically told him this forum was created in the Bush years and he basically lol then said that designation makes sense lol as it seemed like back in those days, the word Freedom Fighter was used a lot to describe politicians who people liked and Bush seemed to use that word a lot too.

So he thought it was this forum making fun of that period's use of Freedom Fighter = Someone who I think is good , and then it just got carried on to the present day

Pretty sure that's the first rule of Atlas.

Most people on this site are Freedom Fighters in the sense that they actively fight against freedom.

Meh, then I have broken that rule multiple times. Almost anyone close to me knows I'm posting an a US political forum

What about telling the boyfriend?

He actually signed up for this forum but didn’t like the Canadian politics discussion quality on here so he left(he’s Canadian)

Pretty sure OSR now has to be *ahem* taken care of William Morgan-style per the TOS.

As long as he doesn't start posting from your account or IP, unless you want your account to become as imaginary as the boyfriend/roommate/brother.

[HillGoose]

I'll occasionally accidentally say something is FF or HP and never explain it and pray to god nobody ever finds out why I said that.

Now, Johnny, it's important to talk to the therapist.  They need to know about our family picnic, or how much fun you had at Grandma's.  But the therapist doesn't need to know about Daddy's drinking, or about the time Mommy accidentally backhanded you and left a mark.  That's "Family Stuff".  No one else needs to know about that.

I'm sorry.  I couldn't resist.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

A very dear friend of mine knows FF and HP as "that meme from that forum" and has felt no need to inquire further. A wise woman.

My fave is when people adapt Freedom Fighter or Horrible Person to non-human things.

There may have been qualified forgiveness on the Good Old Atlas, where Dave Leip reigned and all was right with the World.  This is the Brave New Atlas, where Groupthing reigns and mere Thoughtcrime is punished swiftly.
