I've created a list of rules as below, they will likely change later, but they are here for the purposes of establishing a base level of social order:
ONE: Do not post Illegal Activity. Also, do not post any manifesto's done by terrorists, active shooters, serial felons rationalizing such things, or promoting such things, even if your content does not endorse the message.
TWO: Do not engage in speech that promotes, advocates, glorifies, or endorses violence.
THREE: Do not threaten, harass, or bully users; and do not encourage others to do so on or off-line; nor make per se defamatory states at users.
FOUR: Do not post ISM. Involuntary Salacious Material means NSFW material of a manner that was not intentionally made public. This is the "upskirt", "revenge porn", and "private intimate photos" rule.
FIVE: Do not post Porn
SIX: Content that contains nudity, pornography, or profanity, which a reasonable viewer may not want to be seen accessing in a public or formal setting such as in a workplace should be tagged as NSFW. Any material of a titillating nature must be marked NSFW.
SEVEN: Do not post Facebook accounts, individuals who's twitters are less than 500 followers, private/personal information that is not publicly available, addresses, or participate, encourage, or engage in any doxxing campaign.
EIGHT: Do not intentionally deceive others by impersonating another. This does not apply to satire.
NINE: No person shall use communities.win sites (including kotakuinaction2.win) to solicit, facilitate any transaction, or gift including: ... ATF defined firearms or ammo as defined by the ATF, Bump-stock type devices, Explosives, 3D printing files to produce the aforementioned, controlled substances, Drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco, Stolen goods, Paid services involving physical sexual contact, Personal Information, Falsified Official Documents, Falsified Currency, Fraudulent Services, Pharmaceuticals
TEN: No vote manipulation. Do not break communities.win's features.
ELEVEN: Do not post spam. If you are self-advertising, you must have sufficiently engaged in the sub prior to your post, and you must engage with the users when they comment in your post. Spam will also include repeated messages and comments that are done with no effort to add to the conversation.
TWELVE: Do not post intentional falsehoods or hoaxes. Yes, the Elders of Zion and other such intentionally fabricated documents fall into this. If your POST is arguably false by the user-base, it may be marked as either misleading or unfounded based on it's factual assertions, particularly in the title.
THIRTEEN: If you have reposted something, it will be removed
FOURTEEN: Do not post more than 5 posts a day to this sub.
FIFTEEN: Do not direct particularly egregious identity based slurs at users. A list will be provided
SIXTEEN: Do not attack entire identity groups as inferior, subhuman, inherently morally deficient, biologically/evolutionary mongrel, or participating in a vast conspiracy to take over the world, ala ZOG-NWO / The Patriarchy.
I'll be putting at least one of them on a batch of holographic stickers to stock up for a little vandal shitposting IRL.
Naziki's family said of the 52-year-old, who had lived in Italy for 24 years: 'He was a good man and we want justice. Everyone who knows him will tell you that. She ran over him four times and then just calmly drove off when he was dying and didn't even ask for help.'
Italy's deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini took a different view and wrote on Facebook: 'This drama is the consequence of a crime. If the man who lost his life hadn't been a delinquent this wouldn't have happened.'

Much of the article is quoted below, mainly to highlight the named organizations and funders. The shady sequences of events are also worth reading about.
Also, a sort of follow-up article on one of the candidates here (archive here).
Several other unorthodox candidates have emerged across the country—all backed by the same shadowy group, the Patriots Run Project.
For the past year, the group has recruited Trump supporters to run as independent candidates in key swing districts where they could siphon votes from Republicans in races that will help determine which party controls the House next year, an Associated Press review has found. In addition to two races in Iowa, the group recruited candidates in Nebraska, Montana, Virginia and Minnesota. All six recruits described themselves as retired, disabled—or both.
The group’s operation provides few clues about its management, financing or motivation. But interviews, text messages, emails, business filings and other documents reviewed by the AP show that a significant sum has been spent—and some of it traces back to Democratic consulting firms.
As with other recruits, his story begins with Facebook, where the Patriots Run Project operated a series of pro-Trump pages and ran ads [...] while urging conservatives to run in November.
In at least three races, petition signatures to qualify for the ballot were circulated by a Nevada company that works closely with the Democratic consulting firm Sole Strategies, according to documents, including text messages and a draft contract, as well as the firm’s co-founder. In Iowa, a different Democratic firm conducted a poll testing attacks on Nunn, while presenting Wiederien as the true conservative.
Despite the ties to Democratic firms, there is a scant paper trail to determine who is overseeing the effort.
Patriots Run Project is not a registered business in the United States and it is not listed as a nonprofit with the IRS. It has not filed paperwork to form a political committee with the Federal Election Commission. The only concrete identifying detail listed on the group’s website is a P.O. Box inside a UPS store in Washington, D.C.
It’s not the first time Patriots Run Project has drawn attention.
In June, the Center for Strategic Dialogue, a London-based watchdog, issued a report that found the network of Patriots Run Project pages on Facebook were likely controlled by a small number of people, deceiving users and violating Facebook’s policies on “coordinated inauthentic behavior.” The ads also violated the site’s standards because they did not include disclaimers showing who was responsible.
Facebook took down the pages. But by then, the mystery operatives running the group were already working to get recruits on ballots.
Meta, Facebook’s parent company, didn’t respond to a request for comment. The company reported receiving $48,000 for the group’s ads.
They urged him to list his affiliation on the ballot as “America First.” They arranged for a firm to gather signatures across the district, which includes Des Moines, its suburbs and rural southern Iowa.
Those signatures were gathered by Common Sense America, a Nevada limited liability company created in February. A company disclosure filing in Colorado, which requires signature gatherers to register, lists a phone number for a co-founder of the Democratic consulting firm, Sole Strategies.
“We work very closely with Common Sense America,” Zee Cohen-Sanchez, the co-founder, said when contacted. Lisa Cohen, the registered agent for Common Sense America who appears to be Cohen-Sanchez’s mother, didn’t return messages.
Sole Strategies has earned nearly $1.8 million over the past four years working primarily for Democratic candidates and causes, including numerous Democratic House members and candidates, records show. [One recruit] Jones said Common Sense America gathered signatures for her campaign.
A draft contract shows the firm was set to receive $3,300 for collecting signatures for Bera in Nebraska. A philanthropist listed on the document as the proposed buyer of those services is Carolyn Cohen of Nyack, New York, a registered Democrat who has a history of supporting liberal causes. “She doesn’t comment on her political donations,” her partner, Larry Miller, said.
Last month, a poll attacked Nunn as soft in his opposition to abortion, terrorists and Democrats — calling him “an errand boy for the uniparty elite”— while painting Wiederien as the pro-Trump conservative in the race.
A spokeswoman for the firm that operated the poll, Dynata, said that its customer was Patinkin Research, which says it “has worked to elect dozens of Democratic candidates.” The spokeswoman later said she identified Patinkin in error and urged AP not to publish its identity. Patinkin’s founder didn’t return messages.

This whole situation displays way more poetic justice than I expected.
Just posting in case i'm not the only one who missed this.
Name me one married couple with a Jew where the non-Jew didn’t convert to Judaism on marriage??
Yet JD Vance, supposedly a bastion of Catholic conservativism, couldn’t even bother to marry someone who was Catholic or willing to convert to Catholicism. This after thousands of years of Catholicism successfully infiltrating the entire WORLD through conversion. WTF??
EDIT: Apparently he was raised Protestant, then converted to Catholicism himself. Makes a bit more sense, as we already know how cucked modern Western Protestants are.
I posted a comment about this, but I think it's worthy of a post. I will summarize very briefly.
In 1973, David Rosenhan, a psychologist, published a study of mental institutions that basically went viral. In "On Being Sane in Insane Places" Rosenhan claimed to have sent 12 average people to voluntarily be assessed by different mental institutions. He catalogued the diagnoses they received and how long they spent institutionalized. This study was shocking in purporting to show how poorly diagnoses work and in exposing flaws in treatment. His claims, followed in 1975 by the famous movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest essentially killed off institutionalization in the United States and around the world. Those who supported chemically treatments, as opposed to psychotherapy and hospitalization, won a resounding victory, and that's the world we live in today.
The only problem is, Rosenhan's paper was a complete work of fiction, and he lied repeatedly about the experiment, about the results of the experiment, even about the people in the experiment. Rosenhan, himself was one of the participants, and the alleged experimental protocols that participants were supposed to follow simply did not exist. When experiences didn't match what he was looking for, he simply dismissed and ignored them, and made up 'alternative facts' instead.
Investigative reporter Susannah Calahan and history of psychiatry professor Andrew Scull have thoroughly destroyed Rosenhan's paper and results, and yet it is still the most formative and influential piece of work in the field in at least the last 75 years.
Andrew Scull's lengthy article. I highly recommend reading it all:

This needs to be more widely known. Along with the perverted Kinsey (enough said) and the fraudster Ancel Keys, of the Minnesota Starvation Experiment, whose work lead directly to the false belief that "all fat is bad" and who is personally responsible for the high-carb low-fat diet trends of the 1960s on that have killed hundreds of millions, it shows the power that corrupt, fraudulent, and narrative-driven activist scientists can have on reshaping society around us.
No, we should NOT "trust the science," and to say otherwise is distinctly anti-scientific.
Pour one out for the recent high sea purge, though they've already been mirrored so these sites are like Kane from C&C with how much they resurrect..
Anyway good season overall, a surprise standout and one that gave my brain a vaction. Disclaimer as always, haven't seen EVERYTHING so will miss stuff, key ones is The Elusive Samurai and Pseudo Harem, I am only human (for now, come on cybernetics!) so some slip the net and not caught up on everything, without further ado:
Actually I read the Manga
A journey through another world: Raising kids while adventuring: this is just good male role model vibes where a guy Isakai'd becomes the caring older brother to two orphaned young saiyans, just a pallette cleanser show
Why does nobody remember me in this world: Humanity had a war with magical beings, won and live in peace but some a hole flipped the table and reset the world to where Humanity didn't have the hero that turned the tide, with everyone forgetting him but our MC so becomes the one that needs to help turn the tide in this war. It's ok but nothing big budget.
Failure Frame: I became the strongest and Annihilated Everything with low-level spells: WARNING, heavy use of cgi, it's actually used quite well but I know this is a turn off for some. The main thing that keeps my interest in the series is the MC as going in you thing 'another beta guy exiled for weak abilities but turns out they're cracked' but no he had a psycho switch in him the whole time and he can manipulate, kill no hesitation. Plus while everyone else lusts over the main girl, he's 'revenge first, pussy later' when she actually gives him the green pass.
continuing from previous season
That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime S3 cour 2: I prefer this festival arc as you get more characters coming in, more development in Tempest and character development all round
The heavy hitters
No longer allowed in another world: following the example of Ya boy Kongming, this takes author Osamu Dazai and Isakai's him and like the original, he just REALLY wants to die. Thought it'd be a bit of a one trick joke but damn did this have great characterisation. Episode 8 was a masterpiece to itself.
Oshi no Ko S2: still top tier quality exploring the entertainment industry and while the opening not as good in my opinion to Season one, still a banger.
Sussy Sisters (should've included Oshi no Ko on this)
Days with my stepsister: actually just a very good story about two strangers now having to live with each other and understand their feelings in this new dynamic.
Alya sometimes Hides her feelings in Russian: Our main girl is a tsundere who says her true feelings in Russian as she's in Japan so who there knows Russian? Our MC so he got a girl acting cold in public but saying in Russian how she'd like to toss him down and french kiss him. Also his sister a bit of a freak.
Aquired taste
Wistoria - wand and sword: from the mind behind Black Clover, this is very well animated story as the one guy that can't use magic in magic school but literally built different. I put it here though as the MC might turn people off as though he can go badass, his whimpy scenes can be annoying.
My dear friend Nokotan: Welcome to the deer world motherfuckers! Everything is deer and you will be deer too hahaha! (This written by 1 braincell, rest of brain took a vaction). Studio Wit KNEW what they wanted with this series and the fact that intro song was as catchy as hell BEFORE it even released, you see why they put their full effort into this than Suicide Squad, speaking of which..
Suicide Squad Isakai: I kinda got bored and dropped it, just ok and other than the Morri ed, it's just average.
The Strongest magician in the Demon lord's army was a Human: liking the story, a human raised in secret by the best magican in the demon lords army and wants to make a world where both humans and demons can live in peace but has to hide his human identity as well as resistance from both sides.
Tower of God S2: this is an improvement over season 1 but still lacking in some explanation and development to get higher, a bit more work and it'll be a lot better.
Vtuber legend: How I went Viral after forgetting to turn off my steam: this is the most ACCURATE portrayal of vtubers in ANY media, so much so I think they watched a vtuber and just went off that. Growing hypothesis, they were watching Bao the Whale just toned down the gooning for the anime...
My wife has no Emotion:welcome to what happens when western women get too bad, we go for the robots. It's light hearted and at least he's simping fir the robot not an ethot.
That's the list of what I have at least viewed, didn't watch the second part of Nier Automata as the delay killed the buzz for me to watch it so on the back burner.
