literally what are you even saying? im an ancap because i dislike when a few people make decisions for a group with no input? i guess i did use the word consent youre right

im not saying im concerned for the mods, im actively shitting on them

i just find it pathetic how transparent this entire maneuver has been really. the inevitable pivot to trying a enw thing, to it being about defending minorities somehow, and now to "wow you really could be doing something better with your time".

Like, why? I honestly dont get why anyone would want power over an internet forum. and then require the respect of the users for doing it. i think theres legitimately something wrong with you all. maybe some sort of savior narcissist complex or something. you can in fact, eat my ass

and at least rebro liberal that he is and equally sad individual could admit to the fact that he was running things without our consent, rather than desperately and pathetically try to manufacture it. like if you admitted it, said well its just a forum and this ones ours find a different one or dont, it would be more respectable

oh, ok. id never heard that before, next time ill just stick with echo chamber or something. not my intention to reference autism and wasnt aware of a link. but i dont agree though that not wanting artificial kindness to be enforced is somehow reactionary.

and i dont know what the fuck youre talking about with regard to trans people. i mean like they can be downvoted as well i guess ? but thats a pretty shitty argument lmao. trans people post cringe sometimes too, theyre not immune

why is it bad to say hugbox? does it have some meaning i dont know`? i thought it just mean an echo chamber, maybe slightly more derogatory

im not as mad either, it doesnt matter that much at least in comparison to earlier, but im still a little annoyed because why are they fucking with something that works when nobody had a complaint.

lmao what

but then why have upvotes, instead of just telling them it was good?

getting rid of voting altogether isnt a terrible idea, but it might get unmanageable in such a big community. or maybe it would be fine idk, but if i was mod id still at least ask people before i made that change

what was the problem that needed solved? like was there any demand for this at all. why is the goal to turn this place into a hugbox

honestly. people complain about the struggle sessions, but what else is there to do here? looking at memes we all agree with and jerking ourselves off? admit you all like the struggle sessions. you need them

how unpredictable that this "rule" is going to only apply to some people the mods dont like

what does being a white cis dude have to do with not criticizing the mods, what the fuck? this is insane lmao.

i think the community should be allowed to self determine that, which it will do all on its own as it finds its identity

this is exactly it. although i would also argue that a" positive and affirming community" (a civil one) has its own methods of social control its just forced into passive aggressiveness

oh my fucking god. i dont care if someone calls themselves a leftist or not i can still disagree with them just as much. particularly if theyre trying to police my language. it doesnt matter what you call yourself in that context.

and who determines if someones a leftist or not and has this protection, the mods i guess?

honestly, bottom line, fuck off from conversations that have nothing to do with you. like, just go away if youre not involved. its that simple, you obviously have a complex from moderating

why the fuck do the mods decide what is a necessary argument? the "dirtbag" left is now banning for a violation of civility? if you get annoyed at someone downvote them, like damn. mods are cops and the less of you the better.

this is frankly a transparent effort to justify increased moderating to the users of the forum. fuck off. and i dont apologize for my language because im mad and im allowed to be mad

i mean someone making 400k a year is nearly certainly collecting some sort of rent, through stocks or owning their house which increases in value, or even just the bank. they still work but theyre also basically literally always rent seekers of some kind (this is all forms of interest, although a lot are literal landlords too).

depending on where you are consider dumpster diving. if you have good dumpsters, you can survive solely on that. its not neccesarily comfortable, i mean in reality you are for sure going to want to buy salt and stuff like that at least, but you can survive on very little this way. if you have good dumpsters even if you have an income its nice to save some money this way, sometimes the food is perfect. where i live currently im blessed with amazing dumpsters, and i always at least check when im walking by. you can literally just find like a shitload of free potato chips sometimes, you enver know. some of my friends even found a six pack of tall boys once. but you can also find some nice meats, hot dogs keep especially well but depending on the climate you can sometimes get high quality shit, produce thats gone ever so slightly out of date, anything really. so not just junk food either although thats often whats most sanitary and accessible

it is potentially a great resource. and i think someone should eat all that shit anyway. at the very least a bag of donuts or whatever is a nice find if you cant afford any food

i mean drastically exacerbating a famine i guess isnt a genocide, but its some sort of idk mass murder? its not a great defense for sure
