I originally made an account over there when it looked like it might be one of the main post-Reddit lifeboats in existence. Damn shame the dude's angel funding made like a teenage horndog and pulled out. If I were him I'd be pulling a name-and-shame on the company/person, if only so nobody else got screwed by them in the future.

Weird way to end things, who the fuck talks like that? And refusing any attempts at funding from donations and refusing to say anything about the investor? Something seems fishy to me.

Apparently he's got over 140 bitcoins left, so it's not a money issue and he's not asking for any. Everyone's saying it's a government honeypot but then again those people are so paranoid they accuse each other of being everything under the sun.

It reads like he's just tired.

Damn, that sucks. Was one of my regular news sources.

Sure, it's suspicious that it ends as such. I don't think the owner was ever a /pol/ guy, he just refused to ban them on principle? Maybe that's wrong. Regardless, allowing certain kinds of speech on your website invites literal federal harassment (the end of 9chan was proof enough in recent memory). It's not the kind of thing you can openly speak of with your userbase, in much the same way that an extortionist dislikes you talking to reporters or police.

The clearnet is simply not able to sustain a free speech absolutism space anymore, it seems.

The timing of it worries me the most.

I take a cultural approach to it, and arrogance isn't quite the word I'd use. Modern societal systems "just happen to" benefit the students of jewish culture. This is considering the positive efforts, too; negative efforts like propaganda are easy and fill most content on /pol/. I'm all for cultural preservation, but some cultures are - forgive the smooth-brain term - toxic to polite society. Cutting a cancer out of the body can cure it, but I think it's better to instead teach the body how to overcome the negative aspects of cancer and any other ailment that comes by. Yet my libertarian inclinations demand that there be some safe haven available for each culture, which would require some big changes in modern power structures.

It's funny, I've never actually read anything from stormfront. I've read lots and lots of other similar places, and I am curious, but I just can't get their damned site to function properly for me. From what I understand, it's a niche-speech zone, rather than free speech, so they aren't welcoming of alternate viewpoints or fully open discourse (correct me if I'm wrong, because I can't check).

Thanks, it's interesting that they have gone so far as to have a section for "classified ads". I suppose they're doing their best to make a home for their ideals and develop a sense of community.

I have chosen Christmas as the day to do so in honor of the only True thing you will find in this world and that is Jesus Christ, the son of God, and the only way to the Father. I chose 12 noon in honor of the twelve disciples who spread the message of salvation to the world.
