She is not even officially the nominee yet and has no platform, declaring unquestioning loyalty like that now is literally just supporting a genocide

People are being so conspiracy-brained about this. Many people seem to think a nice photo with an American flag coming from a rally is somehow so unlikely that it has to be staged. I saw someone claim the whole crowd was paid actors but they were also not trained to react like how a crowd reacts when there is a shooter, for some reason. And for what, it's not obvious this will even help him that much.

I hate when people use mental illness as a metaphor to explain why people disagree with them, it sucks for so many reasons

"Why focus on this specific child when we are killing so many other children?" is a pretty incredible defense

Those are trophies from all the straight male developers she killed

It was a sad day when she hunted down every single straight male in the video games industry and shot them with a crossbow.

Honestly the main reason the discourse around this game is annoying is that the whole idea of an edgy version of pokemon is juvenile as hell, but people are instead moralizing about stealing from fucking nintendo

Some people are outraged that a German politician called the Hamas hostages with German citizenship "not pure Germans" instead of the more acceptable term "not real Germans" (9th paragraph here). The real news to me here is that the latter term is apparently commonly used and accepted. Please stop doing impolite fascism, stick to the official polite version, thank you.

They are going to show us footage of a tunnel found under a hospital and people are going to pretend it proves something, as if building a bomb shelter under a public building in an area that gets bombed regularly isn't the most obvious thing to do.

The moderates within the oppressing group are a critical part of it with their own specific parts in the functioning of the oppression, and oppression as a whole is our enemy. Of course, we shouldn't dehumanize them, but we also shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking they are somehow neutral.

In the early days of this site, it was common to flirt with the idea of running it more democratically. This was correctly deemed unfeasible during the Age of Struggle Sessions and the arbitrary dictatorship of the mods was cemented.

But maybe the problem wasn't democracy itself, but trying to jump the gun by modeling the site democracy after bourgeois or proletarian democracies. What we need to do is go back to the roots, reform the site to be more like ancient Athenian democracy.

I suggest the first reform is to implement a system of Ostrakismos, where once in a while there is a thread where we can name other users, and if one or more of these comments gets above a certain threshold of upvotes, the named user with the most upvotes on the comment gets banned for a year.

If a person took the extra effort to send me the white thumb emoji instead of the yellow one I would assume very mean things about them
