Moderation Questions

Dude that was sick.

This just shows how horrific Biden was as a candidate and how easily it is to influence the weak minded liberals. This is nothing more than an all in marketing campaign to make people feel like Harris is the one. Eventually people will wake up and realize she has zero qualifications to be President. You people are being duped hard and easily falling for it.

Ah, qualifications to be president. Remind me again the qualifications that Trump has to be president, will ya? Is this the part where you tell us how smart, funny and physically fit he is, mong? Or maybe you can tell us more about how a second Trump presidency is going to usher in a new era of morality and family values.

He has experience being President.

lol

Considered one of the worst in history by anyone who is not a not a MAGA slurper, and most people who worked for him during that time. So, his experience in and of itself is disqualifying. Thanks for playing.

Lol mong, does it not tell you something that the people who worked for and with him while he was president all say that he is incompetent to be president? All disgruntled employees?

jimmy carter it is then

So what are the rules when talking about people who self identify as trans/nobbinary? Is it mandatory to verify which pronouns they prefer and use them when talking about them in this forum?

What about the fact that they can change at any moment, multiple times, according to gender theory? Is it mandated in this forum to keep track of the latest decision by every one of them about how they prefer to be talked about, and to follow that?

Or can we just go with biological sex as most of humanity did for all human history?

Moreover, when in the rules of these forums can I find definitive answers to these questions? I have been pushed by a mod because I purportedly "deny trans existence" because I refer to a biological woman who is allowed to participate in woman sports as a woman, given she identifies as trans (unknown pronouns, probably "non binary" of some sort) and she is DEFINED as a woman, by being allowed to participate in women sports.

Is gender theory mandated here?

Whenever I struggle with such questions I find a useful guide is to ask oneself "would Robocop be able to shoot her in the dick?"

Treat people with respect for their basic identity and humanity, and I’m sure you won’t have any problems

Very uncomplicated

Given that is not the rules used for anyone with rightwing values on this forum, I didn't expect those to be the rules.

Moreover, gender identity is a politically charged topic and I would lack of respect toward myself if I indulged in using words in the warped way gender identity uses them.

For me (and the vast majority of humanity for all human history) pronouns and sex are not something people can choose for themselves, and a distinct gender separated from biological sex doesn't exist. Someone can feel to be of the opposite gender (IE being trans) but that's not my issue.

Would you enforce as "basic respect" for everyone to call me "Jedi" if I was an official cleric of a church that gave me that title? Would that change if 30% of voters in my country used that routinely?

The idea that in order to respect someone you have to agree with his political theology that warped the meaning of words other people used forever in different ways is insane.

It is very complicated when "respect" is defined using horribly controversial theories heavily disagreed upon by large swathes of humanity.

In normal cases, it is obvious to all adults what is respectful and what is not.

The moment it becomes very controversial, denying that is an issue is weird.

For example for me calling someone a communist is exceptionally disrespectful, akin to claim someone is a pedo rapist. For other people it isn't.

I worry this forum may not be the best fit for you, friend.

We are here in this form right now, and you have been told what the rules are for this context. You can choose to abide by them, break them and get banned, or not post on the topic. The choice is yours.

If it isnt too much, could we move the 911 talk from the chocolates thread to either a 911 thread if there is one (start one) or whatever conapiracy thread it would fit into?

Id like to point out some things but its an lc thread

I'm afraid to give that topic life again but I guess if it's what the forum wants, it could be moved to its own thread.

Actually yeah, that would be cool as ****.

When in doubt use "they/them"
It's not that hard

Truly, this ^

It’s so easy

Done. Report any posts which were missed or which were moved accidentally. It's easier to misclick when moving so many.

Aside from the fact that it sounds a lot worse for foreigners speaking English than to natives, perhaps because many languages don't have the singular they (and English had basically abandoned it by the time we got to learn it, so we weren't taught about it) , i am not sure if you get the idea that the hard part is being forced to comply to marxist ideology and to learn it well enough to know that you need to default to they if in doubt.

It's very hard to give any space to marxism in my mind for routine behavior, it would be like being forced to say that there is inherent exploitation in capitalism when a worker is hired and being banned if I refuse to start every conversation about the topic which "the exploited worker class".

It's an humiliation ritual for everyone who despises Marxism, masked by a "duty to respect others", truly maoist

I can barely begin to grasp just how awful it must be for you, you poor thing, but instead of whining incessantly about it you can always spare yourself the abject humiliation that goes with posting on a Marxist forum.

I don't want to see you go, personally I enjoy reading your extreme views but if it's so difficult to figure out how a person identifies or purposely misgender them it's going to be quite a short leash around these parts.
Since you came back from your vacation I'm getting flashbacks of cupee at times, just making mountains out of molehills.

More confirmation that the right wing characterisation of the left as snowflakes claiming victimhood was mere projection.

To the bolded:
For the vast majority of history we couldn't fly, had no tv and couldn't fathom going in space.
When you use this phrase to further your point, it just completely destroys it and how shortsighted your view is.
