It occurs to me now that I should probably chill on making any moves until after the election.

Anyway. You people make me mad.

We’re gonna keep Mets and rafiki back though for good measure. Let’s see if we can’t get through this next week together πŸ˜€

I don't know if it's a you thing to hold yourself to an unreasonably high standard, but your modding has been completely fine. Every mod here has generated at least the level of complaints you have and this is not an easy time to mod a politics forum.


No disrespect to CN who's doing what she thinks is best for the forum, but the best time for pol posters was the modless interim between Bowser leaving and the new mod regime starting.

Soemthing good comes of it

Don't let them get you down. You see them at their worst


We can all be here together for the **** show


If the forum wants to allow pro-hamas viewpoints to exist and be defended, then CN way of modding the IP thread is the best possible one (no personal discussion, no censorship of any claim no matter how unsubstantiated from any party).

I have issues with CN modding but not in the IP thread (which is what makes people criticize her, from what i see here).


All this conflicting data, who's the favorite?

All this conflicting data, who's the favorite?

no one, it's a true coinflip


by Victor m

yes, in this day and age we have the ability to view a variety of primary and secondary sources from the actual areas of interest.

Or maybe most people don't notice or care when tech overlords slip the IVs in their arms.

given my feed and certainly yours as well is very different from victor's feed why do you think the agency is with "tech overlords"?


I shudder to imagine the den of iniquity that is Victor's twitter feed. Probably a lot of "professors of decolonisation."


yeah i hate smart people who read books and understand things, but unfortunately that's what the "tech overlords" force feed me...

wait, wut?


by 72off m

The irony here is that you actually do, unless they fall into a relatively small group of those who agree with your ideology.


Victor isn’t the only one here who reads Caitlin Johnstone fwiw

Victor isn’t the only one here who reads Caitlin Johnstone fwiw

I have no idea who that is. Is she a professor of decolonisation? What does she have against colons?

she is a very balanced "journalist" that thinks the world is "heading toward extinction because of climate destruction" (which is a claim that makes playbig look like a smart person).

she has the takes you can imagine correlate with that on all other topics.

She's more correct than not.

no shes just a talking head. or I guess writing head. she does have an excellent ability to make incisive points but I dont agree with a lot of her politics fwiw.


by Crossnerd m

she is horrible and very stupid


by Victor m

You got any examples?


she doesnt want Palestinians, Ukranians, or Russians to die so no I dont have any examples for you.

for others, they can use the google machine to decide for themselves.

Oh, that's nice. Is she an ideas person, like chez? "Sure would be nice if we could have world peace, I'll let you guys work out the details".

you have to work out the details without any consumption of fossil fuels worldwide though, and if people disagree they are fascists


Ideas are not bad things D2. They what you get if you dont avoid thinking.

Details are important as well. They require more effort but well worth it.

Yes, details are not really your "thing", and your so-called ideas are all completely vapid, along the lines of "would be good if there were less violence in prisons, we could just have no contact between the prisoners. You're the details guy, I'll let you fill in the blanks."

yes she works form the idea that we shouldnt murder dozens of children a day for years on end. this is a tough idea for the propagandized Westerners to come to grips with.
