Here's a question: Why did /r/cth get banned but TrueAnon is still allowed to exist on :reddit-logo: ?
My gut is telling me that cth wouldn't fucking stop brigading and harassing losers/libs/chuds/everybody and TrueAnon seems to be content with just keeping to themselves, but that's just a guess.
cth was growing in popularity an an increasing rate, especially since such a large portion of the website couldn't stop talking about us even after we stopped brigading.
Deprogram sub seems like it could be the new CTH after the troop posting pulling in a lot of wreckers and GZD already quarantined
after the troop posting pulling in a lot of wreckers
What happened there? In any case, seems fair enough, they definitely look the closest to CTH of any non-quarantined sub I've seen.
The badempanada tweet got posted there, similar struggle session occurred with more liberalism, then it got shared around more reactionary types who all started to show up, think they have a few pets now and I see people complain about them in random subs like CTH was in the past
Oh, then as I'm sure you know, that's fantastic for them in terms of growth, unless they get too big too quickly and get banned like CTH.
It could be, but I always get the sense from the Deprogram sub and GZD that the userbase is a bit younger than CTH, maybe that's because I was younger myself when I was on CTH. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but I find the subreddits a little less useful when so many posts are just about petty internet dramas and youtubers.
I spent some time in the deprogram discord, lots of comrades in there, but very young. I couldn't even like talk to anyone
In addition to the other replies I also thought that at the time it was a convenient excuse to play both sides and ban the_donald without alienating a huge part of the right wing on the site. A lot of reddit chuds don't actualy care about t_d given they all came back/remained on worldnews or the Ukraine subs.
There is a whole lore about leftist subs getting co-opted and becoming irrelevant over the years which is why they don't get banned e.g latestagecapitalism.
Pointing out that the world's most famous living anarchist had a secret relationship with the world's most notorious sex peddler is leftist infighting, actually.
Noam "America is the greatest country in the world" Chomsky is not an anarchist on anything beyond a nominal level.
I don't really follow contemporary anarchism, so I can't evaluate this beyond that many of the groups "claimed" by certain anarchists are either maoist or some other thing and explicitly not anarchist.
:downbear: I love it when people reply to me without any attempt at good faith at all
It says "still hasn't grown out of anarchism" as a point against chomsky but do go on about how that isn't fucking sectarianism :morshupls: :debatebro-r:
Epstein isnt mentioned once on the pic, but there are very good faith shit like "almost 100 years old but still haven't grown out of anarchism"
it's sectarian when it's directed at me, it's not sectarian when it's directed at the thing I don't like
🤡
Try again ;) I'm not an anarchist, I'm an ML. I agree with the common ML criticisms against anarchism (and I think the joke in the OP is kind of funny, if still inaccurate), it's just not helpful to dwell on such thing in spaces like this.
Again, the idea that some adjacent leftist fellow travellers need to be treated w kiddie gloves and others are free game is lame as shit and I'll voice this as necessary.
This is like basic tolerance paradox shit. Trots' entire ideology is opposition to the vast majority of AES on a third-campist basis. Anarchists who can accept the notion of "critical support" for AES, especially in opposition to western imperialism, are not at all the same thing.
I would at least agree that bad faith concern trolling isn't productive or helpful.
I mean, I'll just say I don't think the original post is out of bounds.
The meme says "still hasn't grown out of anarchism" but thanks for being the second bad-faith debate bro to say this exact same thing to explain how that's somehow not sectarianism :morshupls: :debatebro-r:
The spirit of the meme and debate is not about anarchism, its about Parenti being better than Noam
Ignoring that and focusing on a small hokey comment at the expanse of anarchists strikes me as being a little more bad faith
And I'd say the same thing if it was an ml being precious about an anarchist meme
I made a one sentence comment in like 3 seconds pointing out that the meme is sectarian and now a bunch of people want to fucking argue with me about it but apparently I'm the one "focusing" on it :morshupls:
Internet assholes don't characterize other people calling you out for being an asshole as "crying" challenge
Fuck off. You're posting on a site that only even has any active users left because it enforces rules against this ridiculous sectarian shitflinging bullshit. Go back to the various sectarian subreddits that still exist because reddit knows they'll never get momentum because they're full of assholes like you
:pigpoop:
When people have an opinion I don't like they're "being mad" and this is grounds for dismissing them :maybe-later-kiddo:
"Umad bro" is the pinnacle of comedy, definitely reasonable behavior with which to treat your comrades
So not mad that you went full 2009 le trollface on me yeah that makes sense
You were doing that thing that was really common among g*mers on ancient forums where you try to make people upset by repeatedly harassing them with the insistence that they are already upset and that their comments are embarrassing as a result of them already being upset. Back in the day this was known as "trolling" and it was generally seen as something done by complete losers with nothing better to do.
Why were you doing it to me?
Oh, this should be good. Go ahead, explain what you were trying to do. I'm all ears :suswcc:
(Everyone sees what you were trying to do you're not fucking subtle asshole)
You opened up being hostile because I simply pointed out that the meme is sectarian and then when I gave you the slightest pushback you hit me with pigpoopballs, I don't have to twist anything you've been an asshole the entire time
Ok well I look forward to seeing all your comments removed for hostility, have a nice day and go fuck yourself
At no point did you engage with my comment in any other way than to suggest I was angry. Go ahead and explain how you think being angry is actually good and that you meant my comment had merit and you applaud my passion though :morshupls:
being mad specifically about minor sectarianism in a joke is bad
Right, I know that is what you think. That's what I said you think, and you started crying / getting mad about how I misinterpreted your comments.
The point is, you think that me pointing out the meme is sectarian is "getting mad" and that because I "got mad" about this topic my comment is embarrassing and worth dismissing, and because my comment was embarrassing and worth dismissing you started bullying me.
Thats not how you treat comrades, fuck off.
