I am an instigator

I can't help but expose lies, see the truth, and through my words and actions make people uncomfortable with themselves and their beliefs based on illegitimate grounds. I am an instigator and I'm fucking proud!

I'd say it's one thing to point out contradictions and holes when people are ready and open. However, it is quite another to do the same thing when people are closed off and not ready. When you do that, people can become defensive, and that usually means that they will become more closed off to you and whatever it is you're trying to point out, thus contributing to a sense of divisiveness.
IME, true skillful means usually involve unifying, and not simply intellectual arrogance (not suggesting that this is the case, but just suggesting that it is a possibility).

It's sad how common this attitude is around here.

Daily Teachings of the Baal Shem Tov: I heard from my master (the Baal Shell Tov) a simple adage that encompasses everything: If you wish to belittle any creature, belittle yourself. And if you wish to praise anyone, praise G-d all the more. (Toldos Yaakov Yosef, Vayeishev).
Daily Teachings of the Baal Shem Tov: “Turn from evil and do good” (Tehillim 34:15). That is, transform evil into goodness. (Kesser Shem Tov 69).

I guess that means I hate you then, because, as a peaceful person, I see a problem with instigators in that they really piss me off. Ignorance is bliss, let people be happy.

Somebody at work called me an instigator, and it's true, I'm not gonna lie. When I see bullshit I refuse to accept it and I'll call it how it is.... some ppl just hate having their bubble burst. Ignorance is bliss, let the sheep go 'baaaaa', if they are ignorant to the truth then my simple words shouldn't matter anyway right? Fuck it, I'm not gonna bow down and let lies spread like filth through my brain. I am a red blood molecule to the virus of propaganda and mediocrity I see all around. Love is the only thing that will set you free, and ignorance is not love. So there, to those people who see me as instigator, you are right, I will never shut up and let it be, the 'it' today is disgusting and I simply cannot fathom to accept bullshit being told to me....ugh... boy am I in a mood! lolz... I'm going to a rave 2nite... I need to rinse out!!!

Ye yea, I'm an instigate-tah rougher tougher than the terminate-tah 2012 around the corner, listen up or you'll end up at the coroner I speak of the freak words that the meak minds repeat and rehearse Over and over the same god damn verse, then begging YOU of your money straight from the purse Oh fuck the royalty royally, the only queen I will bow to before me Is a beautiful mind and naked female body that's holy So somebody stop me I think I may lose it, I don't think the world is ready for this mis-fit Psychology of numerology and propagandist ideology Either pure love or hate will one day consume me

How does this correspond with you instigating other people? Why should you care what filthy lies are being spread through another's brain?

It's sort of like, if you knew somebody was being fooled or scammed would you not want to tell them?

I guess it depends on whether or not I liked the person. Also, I don't think that one instigates as a means of being helpful. I think that you just stir shit for its own sake.

We're all instigators...
Seems to me you're just ego tripping on the fact that you are an instigator too.
Wow.
No offense... I don't mean to say you aren't special... but you're a little too proud of something which is quite common.
It'd be like me making a thread titled, "I Made a Dookie!!!"
Good for you. You're an instigator. Me too. Yay.
