I saw KIA linked on the All Communities sidebar and from the most recent posts assumed it was dead, then I happened to notice a few KIA2 posts on communities.win and apparently this one is active.
Sorry if this has been discussed to death already. I just got here.
I mean nearly all the mods were Leftists themselves, so it makes sense why they would want to go easy on the opposition (aka former allies) because if they went hard they would have to admit that Leftism was the common theme and corrupting agent.
But GG was the closest this "culture war" ever got to an actual strike back, so it was still worth riding the wave. Which says alot about how limp dick the resistance has been to all this.
This is not true though. I don't understand why people insist that censorship must be interconnected with politics. Their problem is their arrogance and their control-freak nature, not their politics.
Because most of them were very open about their political leanings, acted similarly to those with the same leanings we were in opposition to, and eventually began to use their leanings to define reality to us when enforcing those rules (remember T_D crossposters are all brigaders, SJW are unrelated to Gamegate, and journalists literally getting beaten has nothing to do with ethics in journalism because Rarara didn't like the politics of it? I do).
Politics don't exist in a bubble, they are intertwined with our attitudes, personality and beliefs. That's how we create our politics to begin with and adapt them to the world as we age.
We all agree of the inevitable consequences of communism because of its politics and those who hold them, so why is it so hard to see Leftism has inevitable consequences because of politics and those who hold them?
So elaborate. Which ones, and what did they say that constituted 'openness about their political leanings'?
It's not inevitable. But if it were, that would not show that people who censor are necessarily on the left.
They were open about it because we laterally had a "political compass quiz" thread numerous times over the years and most of them posted in it. This isn't an inference thing, its a literal self reported quiz. If I had the autistic memory you do for every detail of my drama with them, I'd give you better.
Heck I still have my own results saved from two different versions of those threads. Right here because I was interested myself. I believe the 8 values one is the specific thread I'm thinking of, if you want to find it.
Nobody said that. The methodology, and course we went down towards this inevitable end happened because of many of their political roots. Censorship is completely apolitical and can happen in many ways and for many reasons.
For example, taking them at their word, Pinky was the most Right Wing among them and was just as controversial for censorship (and all the other failings levied at them).
Oh, I know. I still remember the shit show that happened when someone started linking sjw ideology to the left and Frankfurt school. First sign that the sub was going to quickly either go full lefty or split.
