You all brought it on with your pathetic tankie beliefs, refusing to read any theory or demonstrate even a basic understanding of leftism or global politics. Your site is dying because you're a bunch of edgy tankie LARPers who think denying genocide or telling proles to read Lenin is more important than going to a protest. Your site is dying because of your imperialist America-loving attitude where you don't care about real socialists who are under constant attack by capitalism. Your site is dying because you have a disgusting personality cult around an angry teenager who won't stop pushing "information" straight out of the CIA fact book and literally believes in the horseshoe theory. Your site is dying because you won't let us talk about the election on any board except the USA board. Your site is dying because you ignorant gatekeeping pissants won't let real socialists be mods. Your site is dying because raddle.me is genuinely a better experience with better software better community better politics and better leaders. Fuck you tankie fucknuts and your stupid little backwater site filled with CIA propaganda and left-bashing. You LOST THE WAR losers!!!!!!!!

      I remember that, that was... hilarious

      admin could have at least put the admin tag on their posts to show that it meant something rather than looking like some rando online

      crazy and other insults like it are ableist though, as are intelligence based insults, and I feel like it's really easy to avoid using them because if you have to stoop that low for insults maaaaybe you shouldn't be insulting that person.

      Imagine your a leftist but act like a reactionary when someone critiques you using language which belittles minorities.

          No one said that crazy is equivalent to the n word. If you use someones disability as an insult its incredibly rude, is complicit in their oppression and makes the site less of a safe space for the disabled.

          Its not banned from any and all use. Mods usually just ask nicely that you stop when someone does it. You doubled down that you don't give a fuck if your language hurts disabled people when a mod asked you nicely to stop so you were banned for a week.

          What you are doing is no different than calling everything you don't like gay or womanly. It's not as bad as the n word but it's clearly belittling to gay people and women. This isn't 4chan where privileged people's right to belittling disabled people is more valued than disabled people having their very existence used as a negative adjective.

              You're being very stubborn and hurtful and I don't know why

              If you're insulting someone for their shitty garbage beliefs and all you can manage to come up with is ways to insult their intelligence, appearance, or other aspect about them that has nothing to do with their cruelty and shittyness, you're fucking up and should maybe reevaluate.

              Translation: Someone asks me nicely to change my language to make a site nicer for marginalized people. Fuck you, you can't tell me what to do.

              Try listening to yourself for once. Its hilariously pathetic. I feel like I'm listening to Ben Shapiro talk about how hard is it for him to use trans people's pronouns. How he just doubles down over minor shit such as being polite.

                  Why do you think saying "that's crazy" is a common way to say that?

                  Could it be due to ableism entrenched in our culture? You think you using that as an excuse is any different than anything else people use as an excuse for being uncaring?

                  I don't care what you think since you haven't done an reading on the topic and are just reacting to being called wrong. It would be different if you were going off of anything other than being upset that someone said you should change your behavior.

            No fucking clue why you're downvoted so much, you explained why that behavior is hurtful to our comrades and unnecessary in a calm and descriptive way, I'm honestly really upset
