We're being outposted by the Incels! The fucking Incels! Apparently we're entirely responsible for the "Sharp rise in extremist discoursse" on the left. It is our solemn duty to carry the entire online left for the sake of both-sides centrists who need to believe that we're just as big of a threat as the 70 million or so frothing at the mouth fascists in this country!

I'll start - We're not shoving enough horseshoe theory centrists in to lockers, and we should do more of that.

        Thinking about sending him an e-mail demanding he retract the paper for defamation. This injurious to our reputation is a tankies.

      I'm pretty sure I'm searching this wrong but I can't find "minecraft" or "redacted" in that document so he's clearly undercounting us. We should e-mail him and inform him of his mistake.

        wait, am I understanding correctly that us mentioning the words Marx, Lenin, or Leftist gets this site labeled by him as antisemitic??

        I can understand that for a right wing site / cohort, since those are used by fash as dog whistles (eg “judeo-bolshevism” bullshit), but to apply that same metric to a left wing site is intellectually lazy.

          Hard to say without digging deeper into his research, which I have no real desire to do. It's possible he doesn't consider that "frame" for leftists, or that he just thinks we have a lot of Jewish commies talking about Jewish things? But Britain has been going hard on the leftists-are-antisemitic thing for a while now, and I think the Israel lobby in the US is trying to make the same argument, so idk.

          Lenin is also categorized as subroutine_frame_pol.do but Marx, leftist, and lawyer are only listed as "jewishidentity."

            I’m remembering when this site refused to add an emote of the Israeli flag being burned and like 2 dudes lost their shit and got banned for having antisemitic freak outs.

            Like most propaganda, there’s a little truth to it, but most leftist groups screen for it and throw those fuck faces out.

              Ok actually, it looks like the list goes through the alphabet many times, so there are entries totally isolated from one another. Marx and leftist also get categorized as "pol," and lawyer is also "pubsafety" as well.

              But "Commie" is only jewishidentity lol

              oh man, "union" is "pubsafety" alongside such words as "uvalde," "kill," and "violence"

        “bourgeois” is on there twice. It runs:

        • subroutine_frame_elites.do
        • subroutine_subframe_jewishidentity_temp.do

          lmao that's antisemitic as shit.

          Leftists: The capitalist state exists to serve the bourgeosie. By definition the people who own the media are capitalists.

          Definitely not an antisemite: Controlling the state and media and exploiting your labor? Sounds like you're talking about JEWS!!!

        Real fringe shit here, we're a regular mystery cult. How'd you think he'd classify PPB?
