my wsj-reading dad just said that the gamestop thing is the same as the capitol riot pls kill me

wait that was supposed to be on the mega thread

I don’t even like WSB, but boy has this gotten my hate all pured up. 4 AM and I’m lying in bed just seething about these pigs.

Pokemon Go to the polls? More like rip and tear the rich, am I right kids?

goddamn and that’s just with one woman per man.

I obviously don’t have any sympathy for these demonstrators, but I really am annoyed/disturbed by the huge drive by liberals to frame it as “terrorism.” Do people really not get how easily that gets turned around? I hate that word.

And impeachment is just a terrible idea, strategically speaking. Trump is already on the way out, a symbolic impeachment would just further convince the right that this is a deep state coup.

surprisingly low

There is of course a balance between being /r/socialism or the other undesirable pole of being /r/stupidpol, but I don’t think anyone was asking for these policies like getting rid of downvotes or trying to address the pressing issue of downvote imbalances. Nobody’s against banning outright chuds (at least once they stop being entertaining), but I think once one starts talking about how ChaCha of all places (one of the most trans-friendly boards on the internet) is “unsafe,” one starts to sound like the “closing the sub as a joke wasn’t ok” or “stop making fun of virgins” guys. It’s not “literally animal farm,” but it is tiresome and not how most people want to waste a few spare hours online. Which is all that posting is, at the end of the day.

CTH was like the anti-/r/socialism. The latter was filled with carelords and people who took themselves incredibly seriously, had the same 500 arguments about Kronstadt every day, and ultimately cannibalized itself to death with things like banning the word stupid or removing their banner because they found out the artist who did it had also drawn catgirls at some point. CTH, at its best, was a place where you could just go to shitpost and laugh about twitter drama without the same old stupid infighting and dweebs. This site seems to be determined to get rid of all of that and model itself after some catty Trot campus club.

edit: oh and seriously, a 36 page posting criminal code? lmao :colin-powell-with-book:
