I’m on another message board where there is effectively no censorship. Of course folks are not allowed to physically threaten others. And in b4 some troll says it must be storm front.

I am going to have to see the receipts on this. I have been a member of lightly moderated and non moderated message boards, and they always quickly devolve into antisemitism and black racism with N bombs.


Don't need censorship if the population is all made of the same cloth.

I am curious what do you think is antisemitism on this board ? Is Vic one ? Can you believe the USA should not fund Israel as antisemitism . I think in the last few years we have seen antisemitism on the rise especially at college campuses .
As well I have never seen anyone use the N word here . If you did I assume its a permaban

To address rococo and the other moderator. I don’t even know what sane washing is. It seems like some kind of a weird new aged term.

I am not a moderator of this forum. I don't know what "sane washing" is, and to my knowledge, I have never used that term.

criticizing Israel is antisemitic

Didn’t even necessarily want to come back. But anyway.

Man, I wonder how long your first few posts would have been if you were jonesin' to come back.

Didn’t even necessarily want to come back. But anyway.I’m very proud of my views as I stand for equality. And I champion the religion of Judaism and Islam …as a Christian. Anyone could look at my posting history im the complete opposite of some kind of a bigot. It’s all in my posting history unlike… other posters just ask them what their thoughts are on Islam…. This is why I ha

I posted a video of nick fuentes saying “Jews run the world, women should shut up, and black people should be in jail” and told you to provide an honest critique of his comments and you ignored me. We aren’t going to have you post a bunch of extreme nonsense and pretend it’s normal or rational. You can either start being intellectually honest or get perma banned. I don’t really care about having you contribute in the manner you have contributed thus far

This is not an unmoderated message board. Unmoderated message boards are way worse than anything you see here.

Vic is the closest thing to the blatant antisemitism you see on pretty much all unmoderated boards. And only can get away with it because he has cover from unprincipled moderators. But still a pretty big gap.


and here this entire time i thought we were talking about bgnight

A quick search shows no posts using that term in this forum for over a year, so I don't know where Knight pulled it from.

Hey before you leave or get banned or whatever, I just want you to know you're extremely bad at lying (probably because you're not terribly bright) and you should really try a different tack.


It’s not a term I have ever used or seen used. But in context it seems pretty obvious it is taking extreme views and using bad faith to attempt to sanitize and normalize them for an audience that isn’t really paying attention.

As has been pointed out, rhis is essentially what Knights has been doing with his “advocacy” of Fuentes and Tucker in this forum.

Jeez, the last whiny racist was banned a few weeks ago, now there's another one and he is just as whiny.


by TheKnight00

And lol is there seriously some guy who is claiming that somebody is racist or a white supremacist for capitalizing a W when talking about white folks. What the hell? I mean, what is that. It has to be the most hilarious thing ever. Let me test something I’m going to speak into my iPhone “Black people white people” . White people, Black people”. I j

To clarify, I never actually asserted you were a white suprema-racist. The thought of it being possible crossed my mind due to your capitalisation. I'd consider it possible that people capitalising the b in black people where a shade more progressive than regular, if from white posters doing it, or contextual if a black poster did it. And I still consider it possible that those who capitalise the W for white people, particularly when the convo includes the likes of Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and a certain Mr Fuentes, could indeed be white supremacist or simply racist.
Again without asserting it.

I just used my voice app as I use my voice app for all of my posts.

I would be fine with permabanning anyone who insists on doing this.

It was in response to coordi's post explaining Knight's week-ban. I asked why he was banned and coordie responded that Knight had been "sanewashing" a posted Funetes vid, where Fuentes couldn't have been more unabashedly neo-Nazi if he tried.
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showp...

This was within the context of a discussion /exchange re Fuentes, and Knight had been asked to explain Fuentes' neo nazism in the vid that was linked.


Ahh ok, I guess searching for the words separately doesn't find it as 1 word with the forum search.

Stay mad


do not understand why kelhus gets so much flak here, he's one of the best posters we got

In my opinion, he gets flak mostly because many of his views are contrary to the Spirit of the Age.

That explains a lot.

Is that Captain Pike or the most recent photo of President Biden?


I'll let you (and image search) decide. Can't be long before someone says it's antisemitic.

It isn't very hard to identify the white supremacists who hide behind "just asking questions".

1. Their questions and answers will never really put white supremacists in a bad light, at best lukewarm criticism or #bothsidesbad might be on the table.
2. They will portray critics of white supremacists as "lefties", in an effort so sway conservatives and people who strongly identify with the political right.
3. They will portray public criticism of white supremacists as cancel culture, bad press or no press as censorship and political criticism as persecution.
