Hi, fren! Remember when we were all squishy libertarians and moderate conservatives, or even Democrats, until suddenly we were all far right? I just wanted new frens!

The left needs to organize.

As if they aren't already, and a thousand times more than the GOP.

The abstract fear of Donny getting a 2nd term or the realer fear of riots and marxists?

Everyone (except you, apparently) knows that if you put a Democrat in the White House in November, the protests and the riots will stop. It is just known, just as it is known that putting a BLM or Antifa sign in your restaurant window will keep you from getting "mostly peacefully protested."

No moderate is going to be swayed by Harris.

Are you being intentionally funny? They will vote as the Party requires.

If and when Biden dies during his presidency we'll have our first affirmative action President.

I'm just impressed the Dems have gone completely back to their roots and nominated a daughter of slave holders.

Why did we fight the Civil War, again?

Now she and Joe can duck in and out of BLM, while promising to use the government to hammer anyone their voters don't like.

On the day after their inauguration, BLM (the protests and the rioting, as if we don't know they are centrally coordinated) will vanish as quietly and thoroughly as church mice. This will be widely regarded in the D.C. beltway (and in State capitols and city police departments) as proof that the Democrats can turn their violence off and on as they will, and the Great Knuckling Under will continue.

I thought I'd seen peak Lefty.

I was wrong. So wrong.

The hole they're digging has no bottom.

Better yet, show me some articles where the CBC is truly hard on Trudeau

I'm sure I could find a dozen articles all saying, "That awful Premier Trudeau still isn't Left enough!"

The '80s wouldn't have dreamed of leaving the house like this.

THE MODS ARE FAGS! FAAAAAGS!!!!

Exactly how egregious are these identity-based slurs (you forgot the hyphen, you illiterate twats) you speak of? I'm bi, and I don't give a shit about the word "fag" in normal use. I don't think I can define "normal use," but I can define unacceptable use:

  1. the harassment of good faith users, and
  2. the use of the sub to promote two particular ideologies: the Nazi and the Bolshevik.

good faith user, n. A person who games and doesn't want those games subsumed by Political Correctness, IdPol, or SJWism. (Or the Moral Majority, but I find it hard to believe they will try banning games anytime soon, what with America suffering an attempted Cultural Revolution.)

promotion of certain ideologies, n. Well, let's face it: a significant minority of our users are political freaks. I know a lot of KiA's Lefty users hate (what they think of as) capitalism enough that they would qualify as old-line Marxists. We also have a group who think Mussolini was a right-on dude, and even some who think "Uncle Adolf" was misunderstood.

Thanks to the origins of GamerGate, we tend not to have Commies. (Yes, we're about ethics in journalism, but let's face it, the ethical violations we were protesting were all coming from the Left. And yes, the mainstream media (MSM) donates 85–90% to Democrats, so them, too.) But we do have the latter. I do not want to ban them from the conversation. Also, I think tribalism is an important subject. (E.g., I'm not mad at Jar Jar Abrams for Star Trek or Star Wars. I'm mad that he portrayed the American military as murderers in Super 8, and I suspect very strongly that if I made a similar movie with a similar portrayal of the IDF, he would call me a Nazi.)

Now: I have seen some of the Nazi-posting (as opposed to satirical, 4chan-ish "swastika-posting") in KiA2. Their messages tend to follow a format (the actual content seems to be tailored to the individual receiver):

  1. One bad thing (MSM URL)
  2. Another bad thing (another MSM URL)
  3. It was all the Jews (another URL to a shifty website where the most alarming and accusatory information is all unsourced).

This style is attested by Vox Day's posting of The "Andrew Anglin" style guide:

What should be completely avoided is the sometimes mentioned idea that "even if we got rid of the Jews we would still have all these other problems." The Jews should always be the beginning and the end of every problem, from poverty to poor family dynamics to war to the destruction of the rainforest....

I think once you see a few examples of the style, it should be very easy to distinguish the bad faith propagandizers from the few KiA2 oddballs who actually are "good faith users," loyal to the sub and its mission. I think it would help them to be among a motley crew who do believe in well-attested once-hidden groups with secret agendas and NDAs. (GameJournoPros, anyone?)

Thomas Sowell noted that Historically Black Colleges and Universities started insisting on black professors in the 1930s, even though black parents wanted the best (so, by simple statistics, usually white) teachers for their kids.

So yeah, basically downhill since jazz.
