Is Voat a fed nest?
Very possibly. Particularly in the system subs where brigading is possible. But this sub is an oasis from it. Their downvotes will have no effect on your CCP here.
We reserve the right to ban anyone we deem to be disruptive without notice.
If you are observed calling another poster Jewish on Voat you will be banned in this sub.

Looks like Diogenes of Sinop, who I would assume William Blake had great admiration for(read a little bit about him, but don't much besides his general demeanor and state in life), measuring out the manifold abyss of the world reflected from some higher tier and point in reality.
If this is what is to be taken out of it(and I would assume someone with Blake's stances would have seen it as an always take it with a measure of salt the extent to which you measure the manifold abyss of reality, because there is always some other and alternative angle to take of it(kind of a relativist approach to reality, but sort of an attempt to get past the Descartian and Kantian world of either projecting truths onto the world through the mind, even though we have some concept of them being independent to an extent; I think this is a gross over-generalization or rationalizing things down to a pulp to understand what they represent; the whole grounds behind the fallacy Cogito Ergo Sum; I reality, self, and consciousness boiling down to it is therefore I see it as it is "not")
