> It's probably at its apex of hilarity right now, given the sheer number of folks pissing their pants because of a delusion that there are innumerable secret members of a looooong-dead political party hiding under every bed.
Huh, "wild coincidence" that a user with the name "waffle_ss" spends their time posting about crime statistics and how killing indigenous people is whatever. I'm sure it has nothing to do with your politics.
>fun fact about Darik of DBAN fame - he landed himself in hot water a few years ago when it was revealed he was a founding member of a white nationalist Canadian political party [1].
Based! I appreciate his hard disk nuker even more now! :^)
Also, bringing that point up is as fallacious as an ad hominem in debate and is blatantly political. You are the establishment. Darik is not. I am not.
> This right here is your indicator that this comment is an entirely made up story about hypothetical friends, with the sole intention of ragging on “liberals.”
Nah, I’ve been inside some of the fandoms on the Internet before and I know exactly what the commenter’s talking about (and whenever a similar thing happens I do another facepalm.) /r/HobbyDrama has a fuckton of similar stories as this, you don’t need to adhere to a specific ideology to admit that these things happen. (And even the left has criticized idpol for a long time, don’t just assume the commenter is conservative because of this)
As to why people participate in these tribal fights in the Internet… well one of the problems I see in modern society is a severe lack of agency among the people. Fighting on the Internet for a cause (whether stupid or not) gives one a sense of agency that they are alive in this world and changing things. The problem is that most of the agency that the Internet provides is inconsequential for actually changing the real world and is detrimental to one’s mental health in the long term.
> I also checked your account and it's nothing but right wing propaganda. Damn, dude
That’s odd, as I generally vote Democrat and the only post here I’ve submitted is to a math blog post I enjoy.
At any rate, let’s try to avoid having this website turn into yet another Reddit or Twitter in terms of quality of comments and obsession about anything seen as not left leaning enough.
I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree about the merits of Saddam Hussein, here. Have a good weekend.
Yes, it really is. Soyboy leftists like yourself are an exceedingly small population stuck in a bubble. Most of the world is OK with having a home land for their people.
>You are a rather pathetic troll account trying to amuse us I guess
So pathetic that you just can't help but get triggered by the facts.
>but I have seen better work from the 4chan crowd
We all have, but I don't have to be near as crafty to work here. Thanks for the compliment.
>Your limited understanding of history and current politics
Full understanding of history and politics, even if they'rr against the narrative you mean.
>Enjoy being wrong
Projection because deep inside you know I'm right, that's what bugs you.
This reads more revolution/apocalypse porn (for lack of a better word) than anything else. 75% desertion rate because of a liberal president? That seems suspiciously high.
> but it’s another thing when I’m being recommended posts that encourage hatred and wild conspiracy theories that flirt with sedition.
What you're describing is literally one of the two mainstream political viewpoints of 2022. Imagine the backlash if those viewpoints get banned on Facebook.
>just wonder if I fit the profile of some sort of Leftist-Straightedge punk
You called the entire new cabinet of the incoming President "racist" in your first comment. Minor, yes, but would you be surprised to be painted with such a "liberal" brush? That's the scary thing about your Internet activity being monitored.
> /pol/ exists largely as a reaction to the suppression of non-progressive thought
/pol/ exists so edgy teenagers (and others who haven't developed mentally past that phase) can attempt to get a rise out of people by posting shallow, far-right tripe.
The level of intelligent discussion there is pitiful.
Calling an Israeli war veteran a "genocidal Zionist" and "cyber version of the Gestapo" is just disgusting.
>I feel like you're arguing a point that nobody tried to make.
Oh how the tables have turned. You're inadvertently right: the left isn't arguing this point now because they lost control of the platform. When the left was in control, they were banning anything and everything that went against their narrative.
Just went to the first entry in section "poltics&news" and immediately closed the site. This is the same cancer as reddit only with more blinking animated gifs. "unHINGEDpolitics.com" would be a better fitting name IMO.
Huh, "wild coincidence" that a user with the name "waffle_ss" spends their time posting about crime statistics and how killing indigenous people is whatever. I'm sure it has nothing to do with your politics.
