larping will always be a problem in political forums, but taking away the "you're gonna get banned" incentive to act like a reasonable person is only going to lead to incredible insufferable larping, and it's already trended in that direction.

any version of leftism that is not primarily centered around empathy is useless and will lead to nothing positive. unfortunately in isolated internet communities too many peoples' version of leftism is about extreme edge and fantasizing about violence

    I fantasize about violence and make gulag and guillotine jokes. On an online forum it's a way to vent and have absurdist fun. IRL I reject violence except in self defense and I do agree tha there is a general empathy problem
