    For the love of god, STOP BANNING LIBS.

    This chump, this acclaimed political understander of PRAISED economic models...this is the sort of person we need to harvest on this site. Not a single epithet from this fucking Adonis. No, just a participant in the marketplace of ideas. I mean, by god, if we could grow this lib in a septic tank we would. We need to care for it, nurture it, support it....because this is the kind of galaxy brain that is needed for chapo to thrive and I am goddamn tired of the mods instabanning specimen like this.

      The thing that made r/CTH so good at keeping out the fascists was that we abused them into dust. It's a good way to offload community anger, a fun testbed for insults, and an ethical human zoo. Banning them when they start going monkey with the slurs is appropriate because it'd get anyone banned, but until that point I think it would make a more effective deterrent if they know they'll feel horrible after posting here.

        To be fair, mods have been good about letting us dunk for like a few hours until they snap into the "my only response is using slurs" territory.

        We get them to display their marketplace if ideas until we pull down the Potemkin walls and reveal the Nazi standing behind the facade.

          I haven't deep-dived into the individual comments of each of the chud wreckers to know where they're drawing the line, but it's been handled pretty well so far. As long as we get that period of swarming them like vultures to pick their bones clean of potential bits, I don't care what happens to the bones.

      I genuinely think this is someone from here doing a sick bit with a throwaway account, most of the shit posted aren't even genuine beliefs, except maybe asking for evidence on ivermectin.

        Are you expecting chuds to have beliefs coherent enough to determine whether or not they're genuine tho

      No. Not even for a bit. Leaving these dweebs to run loose is how we get site-wide struggle sessions.
