So I never really got this one. It seems like she is a polarizing figure here, but why is that? Also, what's the joke behind the "amber" bot?

    Yes, if you and the other leftist are part of the same organisation

    There is zero justification for this distinction. We shouldn't be doing whisper campaigns against any leftist, anywhere.

    What you linked to isn’t even part of the same thread

    Don't know how you define "thread," but you can scroll up and see that comment for yourself.

      There is, just like there is a difference between a court and some random person criticising you. Misconduct within an organization means you will be punished or suspended. Else it doesn't mean shit. Now did you find it?

        Are accusations within a courtroom the only ones that have consequences?

        Can non-legal accusations be used to wreck leftist groups?

        Have you followed any Jeremy Corbyn news lately?

          1. There is no comparison between Corbyn who is an actual leader that emerged from the left in a country and some random brooklynite podcaster, 2) there is no comparison between some post on Chapo.chat and a mass campaign by the media, 3) Corbyn was literally part of a party and he was accused of misconduct and he was literally suspended as a result of that, which is exactly what I am talking about and distinguishing from what is happening here, 4) I never said anything about legal/non legal accusations except as analogy, and 5) calling people cops or accusing them of cop behavior or whatever the fuck just because they said something bad about a podcaster is every bit as damaging as whatever they may have said against said podcaster.

          Also we're not a "leftist group" in any meaningful sense, it's so cringey when people overestimate what this forum is.

            Also we’re not a “leftist group”

            I thought we had covered the thing about you responding to things I never said. "We shouldn’t be doing whisper campaigns against any leftist, anywhere" could not be more clear.

            calling people cops or accusing them of cop behavior or whatever the fuck just because they said something bad about a podcaster is every bit as damaging

            This is a "killing Nazis is just as bad as Nazis killing"-level take. Calling out wrecker behavior is not the same as engaging in wrecker behavior.
