gossip is just dunk tank with a new name. its an honest name. elonposting is gossip, its fun! revel in how much we hate the wannabe god-emperor! gossip is not inherently bad, gossip can save lives.

I don't understand how this aligns with "look at this person calling for your execution" and the intended prevention of misanthropy, because many of the dredge tank people are just repeating the views of more notable people?

when two women share with each other which men have made them uncomfortable or assaulted them, that is considered gossip. some gossip helps people, some gossip is just fun.

In this scenario, wouldn't this only qualify for inclusion if the men assaulting them were notable? Also, given the overwhelming majority of SA is committed by men, doesn't this impact the issue of misanthropy with, for example, many women quite rationally preferring to be alone in a forest with a bear than a man?

And then you say sometimes a good response for non-notable posters is the pit, which again I don't really understand how it addresses the risk of misanthropy. Perhaps I've misunderstood this part.

I think there is a real risk of doomerism and "end of history in West" thinking but I don't think the issues and contradictions have been properly examined, let alone point to a clear path forward at this stage.
