80% of you guys have never read a book and think that’s okay because your lived experience is enough to engage in politics. Most of you don’t even know what communism, fascism, capitalism, etc even mean but still have strong emotional responses to these terms. I guess nonstop twitter and eceleb threads really did a number on everyone.

Social media is highly censored and astroturfed by bots, the point systems are easily manipulated by botnets.

This forum is the single most active uncensored space online and is highly monitored by the government. There is even participation by military organizations.

As such, it is the ideal place for dissent to reach the public and is also a backchannel into the heart of the government. It also encourages Socratic discussion over popularity competitions.

There are definitely some serious discussions here and important things being said. Just five years ago we lived under massive authoritarian lockdowns while governments worldwide pushed an experimental gene therapy on their population and this was the largest place online that was allowed to dissent against it.

COVID lockdowns are a sensitive topic because it touches the boundaries of freedom. Is it okay to go outside when it necessarily kills other people? Isn't that compromising the freedom of the people you kill? There is no right answer, here. Intervention was used and people would have been upset either way.

Regardless, censorship was a poor decision -- even though there were groups that were engaging in disinformation that led to more public harm. Flexing authoritarian muscle to control discourse is not justifiable even if it saves lives.

Is true. Ethno-states necessarily create these issues. Israel has a vested-interest in creating and maintaining these divides -- including anti-Jewish hatred.
World politics is more complicated than any other field of study.

Israel is a nation of spooks and criminals; the US is aiding and abetting them.

Ethno-states are terrible, but it can be difficult to definitively say which ones ought to be destroyed and how. It is not difficult to say that Israel ought to be bombed.

Back in 2011 when the board came back, this was a place of unparalleled quality. We posted dumps of book scans, recorded lectures and speeches, just all the most mind-nourishing information condensed into easy accessible forms. Bait threads would be properly acknowledged, saged and ignored. You could log on and have lengthy discussions with anons and learn new things every day.
I think Sarkeesian might have published something by then, I forget. But this wasn't the video game board. It wasn't trendy for e-celebs to grift on politics. Streaming was still a new thing so at best we'd get RAMZPAUL and Molymeme YouTube videos to react to. Colin Flaherty and Tommy Sotomayor.
They were times of unparalleled goodness that have been replaced bit by bit over the years by bait posting, shills and now ChatGPT bots.
The recent hack and leaks went to show the staff is in on all of it and is quick to strike down anything that is actually worth discussing, not just here but on any board.
This website is dead and in my opinion this world is following close behind. I don't know what comes next, but everyone I see IRL each day can barely keep from roping. Or they're loud angry browns that will destroy everything they touch and leave nothing but death in their wake regardless.
I think we are really at the end of what we know as humanity.
