Behold and beware as I say things that are politically inconvenient and uncivil until inevitably I am yet again sealed for another hundred years for daring to question the unquestionable and having the balls to defend my beliefs openly and honestly!
Rejoice, as the forum you came to enjoy degenerates into the same madness that befell /r/Kotakuinaction2!
Make comments about women's role in the downfall of civilization? Banned.
Make interesting but schizo-fueled OP posts that get mass engagement? Banned.
Make jokes about historical events that must not be joked about? Banned.
Rule 16 was and is an abomination and must be fixed. There is no sitewide rule requiring these stringent adherences to communistic speech conventions.
Half-assed optics will not save this place from a purge if the powers that be so desire for it.
All we accomplish by limiting our discussions into spartan molds of "acceptable speech" is creating avenues for degenerate drivel to take root in the gaps between linguistic interpretation.
Good, honest discussion by legitimate users is currently being stymied. Multiple high profile users have copped sudden bans for speech that was previously acceptable. This is an unarguable point.
EDIT: LMAO I got instantly banned. DoM lay the fuck off the ban button bro you're becoming just like pinkerbelle.
Imagine asking a man a question you know he can't respond to publicly because you literally just finished banning him? 🤣
This is what I was banned for two weeks ago.
AoV's comment is still up and he's yet to be banned for any of his ridiculous statements. Bans only go in one direction, even though the rationale used precludes that both parties be banned.
This is what I was banned for today.
I broke no rules either time.
I say again, beware. The janny is turning into another brimshae/pinkerbell/davidme.
See you all in a month when I'll point out again that DoM is slowly becoming everything he fought against in making this escape boat, and again get instantly banned for it.
✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
He was already absolutely borderline by saying "come collect them".
"Come and Take Them" style posts are fine, but when you're pushing that you're capable of making "IRA style nail bombs" and "makeshift claymores" and that you will hide them, and should talk to loved ones, and that children will be happy you are gone... then you've done literally everything possible to insinuate that you intend to kill federal agents.
There's literally no other way to take that.
No he was not. That's YOUR interpretation of a vague statement that literally says NOTHING. It's an invitation, not a promotion, not advocating, nor an endorsement.
By the definition of YOUR OWN RULES his comment doesn't even satisfy the descriptors YOU laid out. This is your own ego getting in the way of your own rules. It makes me sick when people power trip like that.
Either follow the rules or throw them out altogether if you're going to bend them to suit your own tyrannical whims.
He insinuated that it's easy to make and hide bombs, not that he DID make and hide bombs or was going to use them.
Again, this is YOUR interpretation of his comments, which weren't even actually directed at an actual person, nor did they actually infer any actual violence would occur, nor actually promote an actual violent act, nor endorse any said act. The only way you could come to that conclusion is in the supposition that violence would occur, but nothing in his statements infers any actual violent act.
In fact, him saying the children will be happy they're gone could very well relate to any random accident occurring throughout the day, from falling over a banister to ending up in a car crash. YOU made the leap to connecting his comments directly to violence.
Yes there is, unless you're a completely brainwashed Lefty from Reddit.
But whatever, I'm wasting my time on you and Antonio and any other mod here. You guys can't be reasoned with, and you're too entrapped in Reddit culture and fear of people who hate you to stop being overreacting doormats to the people who forced everyone else into this containment thread.
You make me sick. But I'm sure you'll find solace in some backside kissers on Reddit who adore over-reaching censorship based on misinterpretations of vague comments.
This isn't a whim. He knew exactly what he was doing: insinuating that he would be happy to kill government agents should they come to his house, with the use of illegal weapons (booby traps).
Oh, come the fuck on. You're asking me to make a leap and assume that there's no possible way he could have said exactly what he said.
You're asking me to interpret his comments in the most unreasonably charitable way possible.
WRONG. YOU made the leap in the first place to attribute insinuations to actions he never outlined. YOU DID.
And you just revealed that you interpreted his actions to ban him based on things he didn't actually say that broke the rules.
I might be a retarded faggot, but it doesn't mean I'm not capable of understanding context. You're asking me to entirely disregard context and connotation.
You're killing your site.
People have also told me I'm killing the site by allowing the stuff I'm NOT banning.
I think the site is going to be okay.
People with sites think that, but once you're commonly recognized as a censorship site, the demographics begin to reflect that.
I suppose whether or not that's a good thing depends on the purpose of the site.
I actually think that letting National Socialists squat can be a real problem for growth, as they are likely to make whatever place they inhabit basically too uncomfortable for normal people to inhabit, while they also harass everyone who disagrees with them, and turn themselves into a boring one-trick pony.
If all you do is scream about the Jews, and then call someone a Jew when they disagree with you, you are going to be so inhospitable to be around that everyone's going to avoid you like the plague.
I mean, hell, if it weren't a problem, Voat and Poal would have taken off and replaced reddit by now.
Instead, Poal actually insulates itself by having it's users basically hurl racial epithets to begin with on the welcome page, as a form of gatekeeping. And sure, it works to gatekeep people, but it also gatekeep everyone but Nazis. However, where VOAT went truly off the rails is that by allowing delusional racialist Leftists free reign, they went absolutely hog wild and basically destroyed the place by obsessing about Jews, and exerting social pressure on anyone who didn't toe the line.
