This is supposed to be a sort of museumpost, like it can be nice to look back.
China used to be a controversial topic. There were always people who held the Correct Opinion, but it wasn't something that had a general consensus on the site.

Hexbears malding over pronouns? More likely than you think!

Struggle session where I pull for the return of this
Maybe some s see this and realize... realize absolutely nothing who am I kidding
Please note that I am in many of these threads and my take is always flawless
Hell yeah, that thread was great. Early chacha was much more like r/cth politically, meaning it was more demsoc and anarchist than the 90% ML space it is today. So I'd say that was an extremely productive struggle session.
Yeah it was fun looking thru those old threads too. Fun to see how the vibe has changed. It must be nice to always have been correct
edit: some things never change though

I clicked that and had to scroll down to see a comment not deleted by mod or person commenting. Must have been intense session.
Yeah, I don't remember a lot of it, but I remember some people being big mad
Also... fuck, has it been 4+ years this place has been around? My sense of time is turbo fucked...
Wow these are like + at times
Wasn't around for any of it, but I'm glad that it happened, it looks like it made the site a better place.

I got a DM from quillquote some time after he stopped posting, so I think he might be lurking from time to time.
When I stop posting just know I will still be lurking
Back in my days we used to post ppb links and emojis to wreckers and the Silver Legion because we didn't have this new fangled images in comments tech. (we did but for only like the first week or so)

We'd hide a picture of John Kerry in the pigs ass crack, as was the fashion at the time
I got here about a year after the site was created and as a result I missed all the silver legion stuff and for the longest time I thought the silver legion stuff was a reference to the Silver Legion of America, aka the Silver Shirts, an American esoteric fascist organization that was active in the lead up to ww2.
Oh, yeah I could see the original troll self-aggrandizing in that way (although the original silver shirts are in fact, extremely embarrassing) and then getting turned into a Nate Silver joke.
Most of these are graveyards of deleted comments :(
Would really, really love to read this stuff in it's full proper form...
As someone that was around back then: you really don't want to
Some of it has been archived on the waybackmachine. Don't know why, but sometimes you can find the threads there
