It’s a vast improvement over the black box of Reddit. But a big stretch to claim its transparent in a material sense. Most people don’t have the time or background to figure out the what and why of a mod action. And once something is removed, it’s dead to time.

It doesn’t matter. Folks see a foreign country doing foreign things foreign-ly, rather than toeing the NATO line, and they’re evil incarnate.

Meanwhile, NATO allies - from the Brits to the Saudis to the insanely corrupt Philippian government - go fully under the radar of liberals.

China’s biggest crime right now is their success. They aren’t being crippled by sanctions like Cuba, gunned down like Venezuela, or systematically genocided like Palatine. So they must be doing the most nightmarish things imaginable to their people - and to the rest of the world - in order to no-sell American foreign policy.

Too bad China kills good people.

He wasn’t killed, he was court marshalled and released five years later. He died in '21 at the ripe old age of 85

The US media was heavy handed in reporting the Federal response but deathly quiet reporting the mob violence and killing perpetrated by the rioters.

Talking about Tianeman while fixating on Tank Man is a bit like only referring to J6 by holding up photos of Ashli Babbitt taken the day before. Or reporting on the LA Riots exclusively from the perspective of the Roof Koreans. Or holding up photos of Iranian girls in swimsuits any time someone mentions the '79 revolution. Or quoting Elon Musk on White Genocide In South Africa. Or doing the “Haitians are eating the dogs and cats” line to explain our modern immigration policies.

It’s the same right wing propaganda liberals seem to recognize in their own backwards, but refuse to accept could have been applied to poison them against another country’s people.

I’ve been told by users that it didn’t happen

Don’t be shy. Name some names.

Reddit felt smug, but not unfriendly.

No shortage of outright nail-chewing psychos on Reddit, depending on your instance. But I’ve found the subs with mods who swing the ban hammer the hardest tend to cultivate a community of folks who love sniffing their own farts more than butting heads.

Fortunately, its a message board not a military tribunal. You’re not going to kill anyone by posting at them.

I’ve seen a number of accounts that seem to harp on a single topic, grow increasingly adversarial if you dispute or refute anything posted, and eventually just start screaming insults until you block them.

This feels like very old-school early '10s era Reddit, where the Admins don’t do more than the high level stuff to keep the site operational, the Mods are as overworked as they are short-tempered, and a handful of power users dictate the content of any given channel by spamming it with whatever media supports their personal grudges.

The difference is the Modlog, which means everyone can see the receipt

“But the plans were on display…”

“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

“That’s the display department.”

“With a flashlight.”

“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

“So had the stairs.”

“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

You can never have enough.

That was The History Channel, which mostly existed to monetize old documentaries and whose producers quickly realized WW2 was the most watched material.

TLC was a non profit distance learning initiative set up in 1972 by the Appalachian Regional Commission in partnership with the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and NASA. It was privatized in '86, first by the Financial News Network’s $3M takeover bid and then by The Discovery Channel five years later. This second sale set of a period of reorganizing around Reality TV that would become it’s Hallmark in the '00s

Europe is about the call for the end of Trump

I thought they were about to hand the UK, France, Germany, and Sweden to fascist parties over the next three years

This goes higher on the chain than Putin

If you really want to scare a German with Santa Claus, tell them he’s Turkish.

Humans caused ALL of this!

A handful of humans with deep roots in the financial sector and the government contracting space.

AI popping won’t change this. These losers will still be in charge in every way that matters.

I gotta say, the folks putting up the “Put The Christ Back In Christmas” signs during the holiday season are some of the least festive and most Grinchy on the block.

I can marry people

When one of the people you married is in a coma in the hospital and the spouse wants to make conscientious medical decisions on the partner’s behalf, the hospital will refuse to grant these wishes because these people are not recognized as married by any actual institution that matters.

Does this mean we will finally stop seeing people post “Release The Epstein Files”? Or is that still too hot a meme to drop?

I wonder who spends more time behind bars? Russell Brand or Greta Thunberg?
