My internal check, when I’m arguing for a restrictive policy on the site, is Do I sound like an Arab government? If so, maybe I should scale it back.
I'm always kind of fascinated by people like Jessica Ashooh that despite being younger than me are rubbing elbows with the rich and powerful. It always makes me a little embarrassed with my lack of prestige.
But I mostly hate people like this. I've conducted myself I ways that I'm not proud of in order to make money, keep my job, whatever, but at least I have the decency to keep a low profile. Also, all my bullshit is small time. I'm not driving geopolitical decisions that kill millions of poor people. I know no one never questions these people to their faces, but even as kids, were they never asked to reexamine any of their ideas? They've never looked below the surface of anything? Nothing is ever even grey with these people? Their confidence is really off putting.
I'm reading a lot into a little, but I looked at her LinkedIn page, and my psycho sense was on high alert
Whether or not you hang out with the rich and powerful is 99% nepotism, c'mon now
True, but I also lack any social striver instinct. I'm pretty sure that's a good thing.
they are someone's niece or nephew, and they were well-behaved little psychopaths and now they probably don't have a single independent thought that might make them question what all of this amounts to.
That interview was almost certainly staged holy shit it read like a TV show with banter and all.
Let's not give r/chapo that much credit though. It was clearly picked up in a sweep due to the George Floyed protests.
The best part is that T_D was long dead and abandoned by the time they finally banned it, they got rid of its empty husk while also banning a huge active commie subreddit
The mods in T_D had literally closed down the sub like 4 months before the ban.
No one could post or comment.
We'll always have r/genzedong being quarantined because they were spreading the truth about the Ukraine war immediately after it started
r/the_deprogram will bite the dust one day. It is however going to be significantly harder for them to justify given the quality of content produced by the pod and their youtube channels. It's quite hard to justify banning a youtuber subreddit. It will be yet another piece of evidence of the ideological bans they do.
In fairness, as well moderated as the sub is, it's clearly mostly inhabited by children and it's only a matter of time until admins can find some random comment from a literal child to scapegoat the whole sub on.
Does anyone else remember their accounts having voting disabled? I tried on multiple accounts and devices and it was just my original 2010ish reddit account that couldn't vote anymore, the one I was active on CTH. They got petty.
I remember getting a number of warning PMs from the admins because I upvoted posts on chapo
I'm too cool, got perma'd a few months before the sub was banned and didn't feel like making a (4th) account
Yes 100% every active CTH user had their account restricted. They were all also blacklisted permanently, so you couldn't do things like redditrequest for abandoned subreddits. You would be automatically rejected.
Not sure if I remember that, but the account I was active on CTH with had most of its comment history nuked even though most of my comments were on other subreddits.

“We can have those conversations in the future,” Ashooh said. “But we have to start somewhere.”
Ashooh looks at the camera. "Oh yeah, I just did that."
I do 100% buy this. The thing is, there's more than two ideas that must be held in one's brain to understand this story, therefore the average lib will never believe it. It's very frustrating to me that, at the end of the day, most people will just believe quote the soundbites "brigading" and "calls to violence" and never think anymore about the issue.
If I believed in any single conspiracy with 100% conviction, it'd be this one.
Our response to the George Floyd Protests, where we would lionize the protesters burning down precincts and cars, and people would do in-street reporting of "Activist" leaders fucking up protest routes was a problem for them.
Fun stuff.
I always figured chapo got banned to seem centrist while banning thedonald
