About nine months ago this lifeboat came into existence following massive purges by Reddit admins against non-establishment conforming materials. Those purges never ended, which is why this particular forum has become the overall bastion for KIA2/GG materials.
On the creation of this site we were presented a set of 16 rules which we, the users, were questioned about. Overwhelming we found that the rules were overbearing and redundant.
Many of these rules are redundant, unnecessary, or bad.
The most obvious of which is that there are THREE rules covering NSFW/pornographic material. It was pointed out by myself as well as numerous other users that these were redundant and pointless, and the assumption was that these would be changed as the rules were simply temporary.
It's nine months on.
Those are only the most egregiously obvious.
The reason I make this post today is that our rules are so open-ended and confusing that even our illustrious mods have no idea WTF they mean.
I was personally banned for a day for a rule 15 violation after which u/DomitiusOfMassilia/ admitted he misunderstood what the rule meant. Immediately after I watched him make the same mistake with another. Now, a week after, I notice that the majority of action is taken under rules 2, 15, and 16. Almost all content removals are based on slurs/bad language/insults.
This post is largely upvoted while Dom's statement of removal is largely downvoted. That's just one example. This is becoming far too common. Please do not make the same mistakes that murdered KIA1.
Note that I am not calling out Dom specifically. I think the rules themselves are dogshit tier and must be fixed. I like this community, even if I do think you're a bunch of faggots. And goddamnit u/TheImpossible1 there's no women involved here so kindly fuck off.
Can we please have a serious discussion about our rules and the impacts that they have, and FIX THEM? We do not need SIXTEEN RULES, especially when it's clear not even our mods understand them all.
No, that only works when you control the levers of power.
Then BLM looting, murdering and raping means: "WE HAVE TO ADDRESS SYSTEMIC WACISM!!!!!"
When you do not control the levers of power, the unguided tour of the Capitol means: "WE HAVE TO CRACK DOWN ON TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS!"
Let us imagine a hypothetical situation in which right-wing violence would be effective. In that hypothetical, one thing that would not be effective is calling on others to commit violence on a public forum.
Why do you suppose they're pushing so hard for "gun control"? I'll give you a hint, the second word of that phrase is substantially more important than the first.
Well, they do. In the sense that people for whom Muslims are very high on the Victimology Ladder are in control of all the levers of power. That is why BLM was so successful. They already had their men in charge. They don't need to be black or Muslim for that.
As for that second part, I have had the same thought, but it goes way over the line to express it openly.
