Moderation Questions
The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa
Is there a reason Meisner’s new account, originalgangster, hasn’t simply been banned again? It was only in January of this year that he attacked ganstaman in an ATF thread and ate a ban. Does permanent now mean wait six months, come back post mainly in the trans thread and attack ganstaman again?
If he meant racial identity, then why did he use the term "group identity," which is both broader and more vague than racial identity?
I can think of a couple of bad answers to that question, but I can't think of any good answers.
You guys are so focused on the “group" part, but I was focused on breaking down the identity part, what it means to identify. Because I genuinely believe what I posted here:
“Power doesn’t drive moral progress. Identity and identification drives moral progress.”
I’m not focused on a certain type of identity but rather the act or relating itself. Capeesh?

Not in the slightest. I have no idea what you mean by:
- Identity
- Identification
- Power
- Moral progress
- The act or (of?) relating itself
I mean, I understand what these words mean individually, I just have just never seen them in that order.
Cool. If you could add definitions of "identity" and "true self" in this context to your list of questions that you're planning on answering for us that'd be grand, thanks.
Identity is just any sort of idea a person has about themselves as it relates to other people.
True self is what you get after you strip away all of the false ideas that people have about themselves.
None of this is too hard.
Group identities become a problem when they supplant the self + soul. Still, identifying with other groups in your country is a moral good. It requires constant effort, but the alternative is the path toward civil war we are currently on in the U.S.

Oh ok, like identity politics then. I remember you explaining that one to me a while back. Ok, 1 down, a few more to go.
Craig thinks that some group identity is needed, but group identities that slice up a nation in juxtaposed groups are a disaster, so the only group identity that can work is nationalism, I wrote it above.
and according to him it must be a nationalism open to criticism striving constantly to "improve"

Ok, I guess I can sort of follow that. It does lack some specificity (since "groups" of some description or another will always exist - no society can ever be truly homogenous, and it's human nature to identify with a group or "tribe") and, as an aside, "intersectionality" is a meaningless/terrible word to describe the phenomenon you have articulated.

intersectionality is what the left calls it

Full identification requires you to take on both the problems and guilt of the person / group you are identifying with. It’s not simply paying lip service to national identity while dehumanizing your political opponents.
This is why I view the current political class as morally illegitimate and why politics is not the solution.

If a poster can come back from a ban and follow the rules, then maybe they've learned how to play nice and can stay. I don't view any of the comments against me to be against the rules.

Ok man, god sees I tried.
I would like to hear the reason I am required to treat liars who insist on being liars who exist for no other reason than trolling like they deserve to be treated like adults since it is clear they won’t change, I won’t acquiesce and I’m the one who is screwed cuz of that unless I clear the runway and stop posting
You can call people liars (to an extent), but you go over the top with insults and cursing. If you don't want to treat people with at least some respect, then you aren't being forced to post here.
I always associated multiculturalism with cultural pluralism, which is distinct from racial pluralism.
in current parlance it's a lot about race
which is why you end up even getting mocked if you claim Switzerland was multicultural even when 100% white, to the point of some people on the left taking it personal if you push that (ask me how I know)

Admittedly, I often struggle with interpreting statements about the soul, but I don't what it would mean for my group identity to supplant my soul.
