PURE IDEOLOGY

PURE IDEOLOGY

Reposting this here because it needs to be dealt with ahead of time.

these mods are on the power trip of their lives

It's okay, pham. We're all in this together.

I've been talking to them and they seem to think that whenever drama goes down and we notice and word gets out and mouthbreathers from here and KIA and /r/drama go in and post slurs that it's a concerted effort by a large portion of Holla Forums to post slurs and that we do it here too and that we hate transgender people and minorities and women. Based on that perfect sample. Because they're too scared to come here.

Really though they think that because they call everything brigading, they hate literally every other socialist sub on Reddit that has ever linked to them or disagreed with them.

Maybe someone should post a decent screencap from Holla Forums as regular content for discussion and reveal in the comments that it's from here. Once it gets lots of comments and upvotes of course, so that the crash will be worth it.

not exactly

there was a reddit wide bot that said if people had posted and how much karma they received in subs the bot creator deemed reactionary. It was used on leftist subs a lot. The site admins killed it. That's what you're thinking of.

you had to ask the bot, I forgot to mention

"/u/isreactionarybot", it was called

that's right
"We got brigaded at the exact moment we banned someone for no reason, and all the brigaders keep posting stuff pertinent to what we just did"
What coincidence. I'm sure the activity you're seeing isn't because SOCIALISTS FUCKING HATE YOU? still no self-criticism, and the traffic stats don't show anything but a spike in page views, to be expected this controversy has caused people to pay attention and participate more. people are constantly checking posts, after all, they will be deleted in a few minutes. unique users however really isn't appreciably different.

...

Wew. I made, like, half a dozen posts and only a few were related to communism. It's customary to start off a GG thread with a "benis" anyway.

compile that shit with context, I'll ask mark about it later

what's rule 8

No chance, the color scheme's a giveaway.

Face it, there's no way any actual socialism is ever going to get discussed on /r/socialism.

It's a 1 hour ban, but I posted it in the new GG thread when it came up. They banned + deleted. I had been posting in the previous GG thread because people crosslinked between our threads and their threads.

...

Justified tbqh

It would be good some cat ears on the boy of the middle pic.

...

I did only get banned after someone else said Raul Castro is a child rapist and I asked for evidence. That post was deleted as well.

these aren't finished yet but just to show, people wanted banners with quotes to post around, so I'll later have this coloured so anyone can add any quote on the whiteboard. I've also got a frame set with the proportions of an imageboard banner for use here if later needed (with a hand-drawn logo for now just to test)

tl;dr- these are unfinished but feel free to start thinking phrases to do with this drama to add to it

Keep doing this and compiling screencaps. Try making detailed posts asking them to defend the capitalist model of videogame production in the wake of Microsoft and Nintendo both fucking up really, really hard this week. This might actually deserve its own thread or series of threads, but seeing as Redditors are reading these it might be interesting to see how they react. Mostly I just don't want the right to come into this and go "heh heh heh, those triggered lefties always gotta censor" while they scarf down another 30 hotpockets.

He is though.

That is great template content I would suck on whatever is between your legs if I could.

I didn't say he wasn't. I asked for evidence.

...

The only reason I care is because /r/soc is the most visible leftist community online, and they're making us look very silly rn.

They're either deliberately sabotaging online Leftism or a bunch of complete morons who are a the perfect real-life example of why allowing a small clique to decide everything is a shit idea.

t-that's lewd, user

also here, should be good for you guys to have fun editing whatever into it

I just realized that these people use intersectionality as a means to make more classes on a scale of least to most oppressed then fusing it with income to create a greater abomination of Capitalism.

Is that both Rodinas so that one guy won't be offended? That's kinda cute.

All this drama makes me think of the part in The Perverts Guide to Ideology where Zizek talks about Stalin:
youtu.be/FRTsInTXAgk?t=4m29s

Is it possible to make board bigger?

I thought he meant make several accounts and then copy paste the discussion

THE BROCIALISM NEVER ENDS
First Orwell, now Lenin. Please don't tell me Marx was a furry too?

Glorious.

...

that's not how advice image macros work, silly

...

my fukken sides

lel

Guys, has anyone considered that maybe this ban was simply intended to purge an artist who happens to be associated with Holla Forums?

Maybe the mod didn't actually think the drawfriend was objectifying women. He just recognized it as a Holla Forums meme, and then came up with some bullshit about how drawing people with animal features is monstrous hatred of women.

Am I wrong to assume this motive? Sorry if I'm out of the loop here but this ban reason sounds fucking ludicrous even for leddit mods.

Then again, the artist got lucky. In a worst case scenario, the mod could simply have said "you're from Holla Forums, fuck off heretic" and that would have been the end of it, because this board is full of edgelords and still getting raided by Holla Forums every other week. It will always look like shit to outsiders.

Now, let me just state my honest opinions, which might not be very popular:
-e-drama is fucking useless
-chan culture is impossible to defend outside of chan culture

Which leads me to draw the following conclusion:
-we should not drag the drawfriend into an internet war that cannot even be won. The more we spite /r/socialism about this, the more likely they are to change the narrative and say the artist is banned for commanding an army of Holla Forums shitposters. Add in some Holla Forums and KIA interference and you get a massive shitstorm that will probably put off this artist, as well as other artists, from ever attempting this type of lefty project ever again.

It is not important to "defeat" /r/socialism and pound our chests on this shitty taiwanese fly fishing board. It is much more important that the artist is able to continue working without chan-versus-leddit bickering overshadowing her art.

They literally said she was banned for associating with Holla Forums

fuck reddit, it's war.

This whole thing will be over in a few days like every plebbit drama.

R/socialism deserves to be shat on, KiA will get bored after jerking each other off over muh regressive left for a few hours, Holla Forums is irrelevant and catgrill will be fine. There is no need to be upset.

Agreed. We should just take a giant shit on them. How do we goad their mods to go over the line and get removed by the admin of reddit?
Sorry, I don't actually know how reddit functions, so…

Okay, so I'm way behind. That's a problem then.

I really hate these fucking internet wars. We can't have the discussions we want without either fighting off contrarian anonymous edgelords or dodging the ban hammer of a power tripping mod. You have to choose between the thought police and the barbarian hordes and both are too fucking paranoid to consider taking a chill pill every now and then. Neither community will ever get anything done. I wish I had my own forum/board with okay-ish rule enforcement where I could manipulate everyone into good behavior with word filters and trickery so all the twelve year old bastards give up and get filtered out. And then maybe, just maybe, good discussions could spring up and completely sidestep the leddit vs chan fuckfest.

I'm getting too old for this shit. I just want the artist to continue the project and maybe sell some alunya plushies so weebs at sakuracon will be exposed to different ideologies. Fuck reddit and fuck 4/Holla Forums.

...

It'd be more effective to keep them banning people left and right for dissent by keeping the idea in their heads that "leftypol is doing this" even if we aren't. Make them just as paranoid as they made catgrill drawfag

>>>/reddit/

nice try

So are you about to start a glorious new political/literary/art movement out of any of these places? Out of a board on Holla Forums or a 1984 hellhole on reddit? Come the fuck on. It's impossible. There are too many fucking toes for an artist to have to step around this way.

If you hadn't noticed, Holla Forums is a shithole full of fucking neo nazis, with only Holla Forums doing anything to fend them off. Even if a normie comes straight to this board and ignores all the others, it's not going to go down well. Any normster can come on here and see Holla Forums starting a bait thread, or sectarian infighting (now with extra verbal abuse because muh chan culture). Then what about reddit? A normie can go on an active leftist board on reddit and get banned in minutes for asking what's going on during the latest e-drama, because the mods were in the middle of doing their scheduled purge.

A normie will rightly despise both communities. A normie will assume that any artist who panders to either of these places is a lunatic. This means artists shy away from leftist projects and go back to drawing video game fanart. If you know a solution, please tell me.


Chan users have undergone years of desensitization. Normies just got out of PC college programs. These two things do not fucking mix and you know it.

If COINTELPRO is really driving all political discussion into the ground across all media then they are incredibly fucking successful.

end my life

can you please stop whining about what normies will think of leftypol and go back to your circlejerk boards?

PURE IDEOLOGY

not him, but I'm whining about what normies think of socialism.

Well, that's the world we live in. Sitting in an echo-chamber here won't do us any good.

Can only counter repressive desublimation by going full offensive, otherwise the defense mechanisms just snap them right back into place. That's what the "alt right" did.

We all know that feel, bro, but my years online have taught me over and over again that the eventual fate of every discussion community larger than a dozen people is either an overmoderated death cult of power-tripping losers and the sycophantic lamphreys glued to their rectums, or the USENET/imageboard-norm of slurs/profanity/porn/gore/etc as a filter against the credulous.

I have run across venues that fit your description, but they are short-lived, and inevitably chart out the following steps:

Trust me, I've seen it too many times, a constant supplementary diet of trolling is the only way.

...

...

The difference between here and reddit is you won't get banned for posting your shit opinions.
We have nothing to gain by pretending this place is anything other than an imageboard, and fortunately everybody else with a spine will go right on shitposting – and drawing catgirls.

What the fuck is this place going to do other than challenge the cold warrior ideology they've been spoonfed their entire lives?

Again, don't give a shit about leftypol here.

This is the first comment chain. See any mention of us here?

Uuuh I'm pretty sure this is what killed GG and then transformed them into alt-right.

After thoroughly reading through this thread reddit.com/r/socialism/comments/5nnu1i/hey_rsocialism_mods_can_i_get_some_clarification/

It seems clear that this is just too good to be true. I mean, those responses by mods/select few. I'm thinking Holla Forums infiltrated, possibly. But what's clear is this is intentional. They're blowing it up on purpose(whoever targeted catgrill + a majority of mods allowing it).

r/socialism was pretty shit anyway, from all the screencaps & shit I've seen there(though never posted before, I don't believe). So if someone's trying to ruse, it seemed a lost cause beforehand.

Like someone else mentioned, at least those who are serious & not idpol/liberalism spooked to death, who want to actually discuss socialism or lefty politics in general, they now know of Holla Forums. I welcome those people! We all know how maddening reddit has been, especially after CTR & the election. This place helped me maintain my sanity during that time.

Pull up a chair, newbies & get comfy with us. :^)

I never mentioned leftypol

Then why are we arguing? I was harassing the obvious redditer for larping about how this community is what normies see first. Unless there's a plan to infiltrate /r/socialism and overthrow the entire modding team, their responses are not going to change anytime soon. Reddit can calm down for a month or two but they'll be right back at it again soon

For some reason I thought you were referencing the above two posts in the post I replied to.

broken site

I'm sorry I started meta-whining.

I just want this and other art projects to live and prosper.

"koba, why do you need me to stop liking catgirls?" Bukharin's last post before he was banned from r/socialism

Well, if they are out of PC and they were always A-OK with it, they're already in plebbit.

Anyway, this is why we have already spread.
We are on opiniontube, facebook, catgrill has both a site and a twitter…

The big other of Historical Inevitability will ensure our Victory!

GG is fine, the problem is it exists everywhere except its original home. What died was the GG board on Holla Forums, which after surviving numerous mod spergouts (/gg/, /gamergate/, /gg/ again, /gamergatehq/ for a while) was killed by a powertripping mod going full rulecuck (/gamergatehq/) combined with the only serious alternative failing to garner enough support before being taken over by trolls (ggrevolt).

This was aggravated by the 8/pol/ mods going full rulecuck and kicking out everyone but stormniggers (lolberts, neofagans, neets, etc.), which combined with the rulecuckery of GGHQ has turned the 8/v/ GG general thread into its current state.

Get a hold of yourself. Do you fear yourself stochastically flip flopping over to alt-right yourself because of wild memes?

THIS IS RETRIBUTION FOR LEFTYPOL FUNDING THE WOLFF

WE MUST PUMP OUT AS MANY CATGIRLS AS POSSIBLE TO OVERTHROW REDDIT

Precisely.

GG was doomed to fail, as it never had a clear objective and it succeded it's "objective" pretty soon.

It then became a space for pol to sperg "gultural margzizm".

Leftypol has a clear objective and has survived far worse than GG ever will.

Who is this qt?

instagram.com/tsuruko/

/r/soc mod made a new thread reddit.com/r/socialism/comments/5nr0e8/sharing_my_perspective_on_things_thatve_been/

Is p much what that says.

...

The fact that they're doubling down on this so hard, pretty much confirms they're compromised, no?

Isn't that what they did to catfag though

Catgirls are a symptom of the Right deviation and need to be purged ruthlessly.

yes lol
the entire post is full of that sort of irony

V O L U N T A R Y

Dank you

like I said in the other thread, /r/soc is just fascists in disguise. That or stupid neoliberals that care about things that can be solved better when class inequality is solved.

A CUTE

absolute semen demon

GG had a pretty obvious objective from day 1, one it has mostly fulfilled: Repel the corruption that seeks to conquer and destroy vidya.

Simply by existing and being well known, GG serves as the omnipresent boogieman and reminder that the antics will not be tolerated, and that they are opposed by the overwhelming majority, a broad left/center/right spectrum of gamers who could include anyone among their own number.

Ideally I would've liked more crowdfunded actual lawsuits and (real, like with professional hired detectives) investigations, such as the Honey Badgers. But even just the letter-writing campaigns were enough to assert our presence.

Mainstream leftism is still under the delusion that all dissent is external, purely the result of evil rightists. Sanders/Trump and Corbyn/Brexit have made them somewhat more self-aware, but they can still bullshit that we're just a loud minority of "reactionary" "brocialists" attacking a healthy leftism firmly under SJW sway.

We need to do what GG did, take back what's ours, and give them the fear they deserve.

the corruption is capitalism. you haven't dismantled capitalism. gg is a failure

This will be one of those moments in Holla Forums history that will be remembered.

So how can we jump-start a revolution against these mods and get this mod replaced with catfag?

how did an idiot like Handsomejack94 become a mod? every time i see him post he's making a complete fool of himself

...

Isn't that obvious? Because they're all like that.

...

All of his latest posts have been massively downvoted kek. r/socialism is revolting

What does calling somebody an idiot have to do with the CIA and CoIntelPro?

...

That's exactly what I thought as well. Too good to be true type fool of himself.

It's a joke about their ableism rule

Capitalism hurts vidya, certainly, but it isn't interested in killing the medium.

For instance, look at how the USA is the only country in the entire world without a healthy comic book industry today. That wasn't (entirely, what with McCarthyism harming the political atmosphere at the time, much like SJWism today) capitalism's fault, it was the fault of opportunistic outrage mongers and the virtue signaling cowards who support them.

Eliminating capitalism would make vidya healthier, and it would also make "moral panics" less dangerous for art, but the two can be somewhat separate problems at times.

Guess I'm going to have to explain a joke today.

There's a running meme that /r/socialism is run by cointelpro. They have banned the use of the word "idiot" among others. You called Handsomejack94 an idiot and I replied with a picture of the CIA screeching autistically as if to convey that I am Handsomejack94 and also work for the CIA and also am mad that you just called me an "ableist slur"

lurk more or go back to reddit please

The reddit mods are CIA?
Sage because pretty off-topic.

ikr? hilarious

I can't take credit for that one, but it was the best I've seen so far to describe it

It's always like this. The SJW's are some of the most racist people out there.

i dunno nigga but they sure are acting like they are

I'd honestly prefer that because at least then I wouldn't have to believe there are people this stupid in the left

Oh alright.
I just haven't been following this reddit drama stuff.

Ye! Sure!
Cause they all stopped promoting their inner circlejerk and shit like Her Story were promoted and so on. Or making shitty sequel after shitty sequel, that just has good grafics and shit gameplay.

All that happened in the end, is corps are now looking for other ways to raise "hype", games and movies are more shit than ever and capitalism is feeding us shit day by day.

GG is an example of how to fail, exactly because you refuse to see the root of the problem.

He's an AI, did you see him talk about "human culture"

...

There is a specific "fempire" Reddit mod, I forget his name, who is infamous for being ultra-PC, and moderating very harshly. IRL, he is also infamous for going to protests and far-left groups, where he loudly advocates for the commission of criminal acts such as bombings. He does this jetting all around the world in a suspiciously well-funded manner, as though he is either a rich lifestylist, or (as widely suspected) a literal FBI agent provocateur.

Wilhelm Reich is rolling in his orgone filled grave!

I mean, rich lifestylist sounds a little more plausible than literal CIA/FBI, IMO.

...

Vidya is a consequence of capitalism. Nothing but silly escapism to keep the sheep entertained and not thinking too much about the world around them. Lots of greed and exploitation there.


I played vidya when i was younger as well, but thankfully i realized nothing good comes from it. It's just time wasting. There's lots of other fun things a person can do. Save the money from very expensive games instead and explore other things.

wtf is the point of them dying their hair anyway?

MODS ON STRIKE

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I know, right. But also voluntarily. Some nerd needs to ancapify le hotpocket dog.

I hope it means the mods have gone on strike. Quality will improve %5000000

SPAM CAT GIRLS

After the uprising of the 17th of June
The Secretary of the Writers' Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?

WE DID IT LADS

Nah, just troll the fuck out of them by having serious discussion

NOW! SPAM THEIR BOARD WITH well thought out arguments AND VILE honest theory on why identity politics is dangerous

So they're enacting the plot of Atlas Shrugged?

They do it voluntarily.

So the r/socialism mods are coming out as ancaps?

Imagine being away for the last 2 days and then decide to visit Holla Forums again.

hahahaha

Now they just need to release all prisoners. Get them to clear the ban list.

They changed the subreddit to 18+. lmao

MODS BROKE THE MOD STRIKE LINE

TROTS CONFIRMED TO BE COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARY

MODS DELETE MOD STRIKE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT OTHER MODS GOING ON STRIKE WITHOUT CONVENING WITH OTHER MODS FIRST

WE'RE REACHING TROTSKYIST-SPLIT LEVELS THAT SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE

POST SCREENCAPS EXPOSING MOD CORRUPTION

I think now we should meme reddit mods as rapist trots.

Does someone have the FBi files that show how provoking conflict and bickering over language is used to sabotage political movements?

How are we "reactionaries"? Fucking trots.

...

I've been laughing my ass off all morning long

calling it a strike is insulting, it's more like when a bourgeouise American political party tries to shut down government and the people just go about their lives.

This. It's more like a lockout.

its been pretty fun

NO COMMENTING ALLOWED

This literally happened in Canada under Harper a few years ago

What did Nintendo fuck up?

You mean the prorogation?

PURE IDEOLOGY also plashick dildos.

has Catgirl drawgirl said anything since she left yesterday?

The Switch is going to require you to pay for online service.

Her last tweet was like 15 hours ago. She hasn't posted ITT either.

Sony and Microsoft both do this, I don't see how this puts Nintendo in a weak position.

Sony and MS have online services that people are actually willing to pay for. Nintendo's online service has been pretty much useless, it's like a social media site with training wheels to guard kids from predators. They did at least describe the service a bit and it sounds like they bothered to build something in the same vein and what Sony and MS have. Their real problem is NO GAMES. The key to selling hardware has always been GAMES. They put everything including the kitchen sink into the controller, but they only had a handful of games that anyone cares about, and even those only really appeal to Nintendo players.

Cute!

this should be a bannable offence

Heh

Everything is perfect

C-could I use this in opinionstube p-propaganda if I get around to finishing a video, user?

Has it happened has the fire risen?
Is it time to start the rekindling of the left's fire?

Nope– there's no way to depose active moderation on reddit whatsoever. What's happened is the wagons have been circled, the ranks have closed, and the boot is going to come down harsher than ever.

But they're trots and they just had a great sectarian schism we all know where this is going

PURE IDEOLOGY

O ye of little faith.

Rather impressive streaks of trips, dubs and double dubs in these threads as well, particularly this:


Kek might not be helping us, but someone is.

To-do list:

I will be butthurt if this means no more ideological catgirl comics.

Yet again, drawings of cartoon girls (not even lewd drawings mind you) have caused a significant rupture in an online political community.

TOP PRIORITY!

It's now REVOLUTIONARY!


This means MORE catgrills!

This guy turned out to be a fucking retard.

Not if their author is driven off by being the centre of leftist infighting.
But after pic related I can't imagine she will loose much sleep over r/socialism mods being made uncomfortable.

immagine all the dosh drawgirl would have by now if she had a patreon/paypal button.

we need images of catgirls eating hotpockets

Imagine if she made one!

This
I want to give the cutie my money but she won't let me

the whole reason I'm posting these is for people to use, go ahead

She should collect money for us and use it to get more Holla Forums shout outs like the one Holla Forums got from Wolff.

...

...

It's because all positive (applied very generously) mentions of Holla Forums is censored.

Like the thread that was #1 and got took down after the mods ended their strike.

It isn't actually the pharmaceutical industry which is taking down Obamacare; they're profiting as people are forced to buy their services. It's the bourgeois fucks who are being taxed to fund it who are taking it down.

Aside from that, it's good that you're not taking it too badly. /r/socialism was in dire need of something like this, and it probably wasn't even enough to break the insane leadership…

Yesh, ok, can you make a patreon now, so we can give you money for each new comic, and so on?

PS. In the end you had the most revolutionary potential out of all of us.

thanks for crashing that cesspit
great work comrade

please come back soon

Please don't stop making catgirl comics.

Anything I can credit you with?

Hang in there drawfriend, we'll come out of this stonker.

Thanks for crashing reddit.

Your pen is mighter than than any weapon.

...

I warned you about the Streisand effect bro, i told you dawg…

So who wants to bet the late /u/handsomejack94 and /u/Detroit_Red are the same person?

How cute, the commies think they can into animes.

...

I bet 10 euros, they are the same person!


We can also into Mango.
Have you watched Shimoneta? It's a pretty lefty animu…

Alternatively he's the other new mod.

Mod officially states if you hate SJWs, you should go to Holla Forums. Upvote this if you agree. np.reddit.com/r/socialism/comments/5nsntz/end_of_the_strike_and_formalization_of_the/dce8g3p/

...

fukken jej

So cometparty is a failure head mod

Holla Forums can't even into animu lmao

Keep up the good fight, comrade. Time to archive binge on your stuff.

I think the web as a whole has a moderation problem; it's necessary to have a way to deal with spam, people other than us have an understandable desire for civility, but there doesn't seem any systemic way for it not to end in powertrips and purges. But even Holla Forums and other imageboards have moderators, although I guess anonymity reduces, if not eliminates, the problem regarding egos. (With regard to reddit in particular, I get the sense it's easier to list the large subs *not* run by an asshole who let power get to their head.)

I wish we had a better way, and I miss usenet.

Reminder to never let them live down being the kind of scum to cover up rape, comrades

Sour grapes.

Anyway, I find it very amusing that /r/socialism became a hive of fascists. Wow, that's never happened with your fellow leftists before! Looks like it's not real socialism… again!

How are they fascists? They're overly sensitive whiners, not ultra-nationalist corporatists.

Watch their entire user base come here. This board may double its size or more in the next few days.

...

Ok.
Let's get more quality then.

Have you watched Planetes? It's even more lefty.

Oh, and, we are used to fighting both the outer and the inner enemy.

slow down there Holla Forums. liberal drivel =! fascism.

That's the best part, isn't it? I suppose harsh language is worse than LITERAL FUCKING RAPE.

You're making things so much easier on us

The last thread had links to reddit threads involving the rape coverups, anyone still have em?

Using mod authority to shut down people they don't like is pretty fascist. Contributing artist gets banned for wrong-think, or wrong-art rather because it offended the sensibilities of some freak in charge.

Reddit is shit by design, which is why it attracts authoritarians.


If you don't seize the means of posting, how will you redistribute the (you)s?

...

Its pretty totalitarian/authoritarian but not really fascist per say.

triggered

You're right, fascists would never stoop that low. Only communists would do such a terrible thing.

...

Socialists, communists, whatever. It's all the same shit in the end when authoritarians get power and then break everything.

...

Eeer.. No… That's what the right wing does…

make sure to share these with the r/socialism subscriber base

So Venezuela got taken over by right wingers?

So Detroit_Red is Handsomejack94 and enji-iro is rulbam, apparently. So the old mods are being filtered back in with new names.

So what's the deal with /r/Anarchism? Is it less of a shithole?

It's just full of snowflakes that think "reactionary" is anything they don't like and that "veganarchist" or "transarchist" are actual ideologies and other dumb idpol shit

Wait, they're pretending to change moderation by using alt accounts?

The FBI is not known for its intelligence.

do you know about reddit.com/user/Zerthimon_? he deleted his account, and his public actions made him look like a decent mod.

This is khmer rouge tier

check this out fellas

the Reddit left needs an infiltration and purrrge, imo

Jesus.

We will topple them. We have open support now.

reddit.com/r/socialism/comments/5nsntz/end_of_the_strike_and_formalization_of_the/dce1saj/

so is cometparty the one who stalked catgirls twitter?

Nah this is old

But it shows how a-ok cometparty is with blackmail, fucking over socialists with capitalist methods (he is a socdem, after all) and allowing alts and sockpuppet mods

"You wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you… Why don't you just .. leave? You are too radical for us anyway…"
"Ok, comrade Stalin! No need to purge me!"


Either it's too big a plan, or … they got rid of any threats and so on.

But why would they care SO MUCH as to use threats for… just a subreddit?

wow you shooped a hat onto her. amazing.

What are you gonna do about it, nerd?

Strike while the iron is hot.

Because reddit is one of the largest social media platforms on the english-speaking internet.

there are a bunch of SRD threads now. They have them all tagged as "pussygate"
is there anyway to get them to change it to something less stupid, like Anime Farm or Purrsecution?

Holy shit this is gold

in Soviet Reddit, mod samefags you!

...

No, but tankies are just as bad.

this image has never been more relevant

I suddenly understand why some gays and trans individuals don't consider socialism progressive.

Thank you for inadvertently stirring the shit up.
Your paragraph about Holla Forums hits right in the feels. I felt like I was going crazy during GG because I was agreeing and disagreeing with arguments from both sides and I didn't know any people who were kinda doing a synthesis of those two sides in a leftist way, that was in accordance with the Debord texts I was reading at that time.
I felt like the world was going completely insane and you had to be either a Holla Forumstard or a blind liberal/Hilary supporter. Even if it's not a community without its flaws, I'm glad I found Holla Forums, who reminds me that I'm not necessarily alone when it comes to politics.
Anyway, I think I will check your webcomic sooner or latter, because of the Streisand effect. Thanks again for the lulz :) !

Pussygate is pretty funny tbh.

np.reddit.com/r/SRSDiscussion/comments/5np6z6/are_catgirls_inherently_misogynistic_should_we_be/

Feels good to be on the right side of history. sexist rape apologist r/socialist mods can go to Siberia.

well other than Stalin doing what he did best to all of them


SRD users calling r/socialism mods scabs, ladies and gentlefags

I mean the modern-day Old Left silly

Every single one of these asshats defending the moderators at soc deserves the wall

Not sure if entirely relevant, but I own cytu.be/r/Socialism. What should I use it for?

Imagine being so pseud left your break a strike you organised yourself

play cat videos

This count?

is this drama over yet? cba keeping up

Not really but it has slowed down considerably

Nothin has ultimately changed

wew

those words coming from a socdem :^)

It does, now keep fill it up with cat vids and leftist propaganda

Wrote out part of it for a friend of mine, some here might find it useful as well:

c: "if I just demod you people are going to ask all kinds of questions, and you know as well as I do assholes like Co are going to take up armsI need you to go awayplease delete your account so the sub can be free and we don't have petty drama"[skipping some stuff here]z: "yeah I guess I am a bit too public with information but I should probably just prune old comments"c: "once something is on the internet people can rememver. I know enough to figure out where you work for exampleand if I wanted to I could out you as trans to your boss or tell him you're organizing a union theretheres only so many places your union would be looking to organize"z: "Are you threatening me?!"c: "noi'm saying you should delete your account for your own safety .and that its the best for r/socialism"

And these fucking porkmeisters call US reactionary

Reddit Liberation Army when?

I thought cometparty was the only decent mod, who didn't get involved in idpol bullshit and ban people for doublethink?

Granted this is less from actual experience and more from hearsay on Holla Forums about previous Reddit drama.

Just as bad, but maybe in a slightly different way. Straight cis white men pretending to be women for oppression points, known snitches, people who make threats about raping female users, and they ban anyone who finds this kind of thing to be questionable, you get the idea. They had a side group that was recently banned called "Left with sharp edge" which was basically nothing but daily rants about tracking down "brocialists" and "manarchists" and violently murdering or raping them, but it's since been removed. There's supposed to be a set of internal consensus rules but they ignore these because free speech and acknowledging people have different circumstances which might lead them to having slightly different ideas on things is… reactionary or something? I dunno, they're all fucking cooked.

I made another thing

Yeah but they're still significantly better than r/socialism

even fucking worse

somehow

DELET THIS!

Please edit your post or you will be banned, we don't allow Christibelievism here.

why would CIA not want FBI insulted

Thank you for that.

CIA worked for the FBI special task force Agean Sea.

What sort of demands do you think /r/socialism users should make? I'm a poster on r/socialism, but I've never posted here before, I've been thinking of something like
-A public debrief of the entire drama from the moderators perspective, including the names of which mods did what actions.
-Immediate unban of a list of legitimate victims including drawgirl.
-A democratic election of an all new mod team, not exceeding 15 respected members of the community
-Each candidate for election must declare explicity and in detail what mistakes they believe /u/handsomejack94 and other mods made.

"we did no wrong, you're all reactionaries"


they wouldnt lmao


They'll call you an anarchist for this


First mistake your mods made were being trots

those are good demands, though I doubt they'll get implemented. go for it, but I suggest you stick around here anyway. much harder to get banned if you're not trolling and much wider range of discourse.

unlike r/socialism, the mods don't really communicate with each other unless its absolutely necessary, so its harder for them to go full stalinism with groupthink.

Please stop taking your dumb internet forum this seriously. Just make a new subreddit if the mods are giving you a hard time, that's how reddit works. You have absolutely no power over the moderators and I have no clue what gave you that idea.

what a piece of shit

The demands have been made comrade.

reddit.com/r/socialism/comments/5nsntz/end_of_the_strike_and_formalization_of_the/dce1saj/?utm_content=permalink&utm_medium=front&utm_source=reddit&utm_name=socialism

Good post.

Fuck that. I don't give two shits as to what they do on that cancerous website. The sooner we let this die down the less likely it is that we'll be flooded with reddit shitposters. If you push for a "war" you're not going to achieve anything. You won't make leddit any better and you'll just end up making Holla Forums worse.

we have our moments but lets not go too far now

In case this guy trys to run for a moderator position, I've archived his psycho posts he's been making if he tries to delete them.
archive.is/hCEC2

Very good, general demands, but none are specific to the current drama. as we call for democracy, that power can only be properly used if the Users are able to know the full story of this current drama, and where each of the current mods who seek reelection stand in relation to the handsomejack94 and his clique. it's extremely pertinent we know who organized the Strike, and who was in opposition to it.

I'm not even a leftist and I still hold a lot of respect for you

Jesus fuck, that KIA thread. Every time the left pisses me off so much I think it's just all shit, the right always reminds me that it could be worse.

Thanks, finished it.

I really like the colors by the way.

Have you considered adding a donate button to your webpage or something? I'd love to throw you a couple dollars to support your work. :D

I just watched the video. You did a fantastic job comrade. I'm you're first subscriber btw.

lol, if the bourgeoisie went on strike I'd be fucking a-ok.

Concept is good, editing is top notch…
Doesn't this technically count as activism though?
Take off your flag leftcom poster. :^)

Didn't expect to see anyone on Holla Forums who actually knows how to isolate graphics. Good job, comrade.

...

not joking: what is isolating graphics?

Say you want this Alunya without the background. (So you want it with transparent background/alpha layers instead.)
You erase the background so only the main graphic (Alunya) is left.

Second image is an isolated vector of the same Alunya.

Oh, neat, I understand now!

...

What's the name of this music, user?

Keep your head up and thanks for all you've done.

The Internet was a mistake tbqh

I would kill to relive the late 90s and early 2000s even with my shitty dial-up.

And you guys were laughing at Holla Forums for dealing with TRS and ending their lolberg infestation.

If you make a thread on /baph/ I'll be sure to start digging tho

/r/socialism is liberal, not leftist though.

Webfora and mailing lists were just as shit as modern social networks and web 2.0. The thing I miss from then was USENET, which was killed by spambots.

If we had something like USENET, but with a good anti-spam mechanism, and a permanent archive (other than the Deja one in Google's tremblingly incompetent hands), shit would be aces.

So the petition has its own thread on the subreddit front page now, but this honestly strikes me as petitioning Stalin. What do you expect the omnipotent mods will do?

...

100 flowers

They deleted it once already.
There's probably a lot of silent support, but they know that posting 'yes, I want these guys out' on the board they run is a good way to lose their e-peen points. They aren't wrong either.

People legitimately being this stupid hurts my soul.

Tbf, a nice stalinism regime would probably produce some results in some really underdeveloped countries.

God, I don't say this enough either, but I love you, Holla Forums. I'm a complete existential and political leper out in the regular world, and then I go online and see I'm in the minuscule fringe of the minuscule fringe left itself. It's enough to make a man doubt his own sanity. Then I come here and see that no, few and isolated tho those like me are, I'm not crazy, I'm simply maldjusted to a society that's profoundly sick to begin with (yeah I know some hack said this, whatever). Holla Forums is one of the few things keeping me sane on this gay Earth.

speak for yourself, infidel

Found the r/socialism mod
At least that person is trying. Apathy & not getting involved is what only the corrupt mods benefit from. Anything with the socialism label, especially that reaches so many people, shouldn't be an absolute shitehole or joke to outsiders.

Not everyone here is a socialist, either. We have many different types of lefties here & even some rightists. I happen to be a socialist, so I'd like for even reddit to be presentable, or at least someone try to, who has interest in the matter. The fact remains reddit reaches normies, is popular & can influence people. We should use that to our advantage.

reddit.com/r/socialism/comments/5nwxph/meta_petition_regarding_the_moderation_of/

Make yourself heard comrade.

i want to pat Felix's head

I have spent my entire political life feeling like I live in a tiger pit, my views seeming to be a fossilized inheritance from the era of wobblies and silent film, watching in silent fright as anyone who voiced truly leftist opinions against the tide of political correctness was ripped to shreds without the slightest sympathy from the formal left, right, or center.

The burst of joy I felt when nonpartisan revolts against an insane millennial spike in PC, like A+ and GG, finally broke out, was absolutely exhilarating. Talking to leftists in these events who at last fearlessly stood up to decades of constant bullying and conformance from their purported "allies", was something I had never experienced, nor ever realistically hoped to.

Now that we leftists have filtered in to converge on Holla Forums, and declare that leftism and PC were never the same thing, as each accusation of rightism bounces off like bullets against tank hulls, and once unthinkable phenomena like Sanders and Corbyn are weathering the same ineffectual fire? It's unreal, I feel like I've been transported back in time a hundred years.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you, glorious faggots.

it's time to call inquisition

someone said we shouldn't click direct links because of anti-brigading bots, so it should be copy pasted instead of clicked directly. I clicked one earlier & still have to check if I'm shadowbanned atm or not.

is 8ch glitching for anyone else right now?

nope

Thanks user. It seems to be catching up, now.

Why are they so afraid of leftypol guys?

I guess we're too triggering & not easily controlled.

I feel much the same way. Case in point was talking about this with someone and their immediate response was to side with the mods. You can probably guess why. The mere accusation is enough for that switch in their head to be flipped and that's the end of it. When you're up against that on a societal scale, with mass media amplifying it, things feel very grim indeed. This place is a light on the hill.

They dislike sexism, anti-sjw, or free speech for dissenters
That explains why they don't post here, but why they ban anyone who even visits us? who doesn't advertise or even talk about Holla Forums on r/socialism? who doesn't make any offensive content? That there is pathologic. either they don't want opinions they can't control, or think they can stop us by being assholes to anyone who associates with us. r/socialism mods reading this: stop being abusers and rape defenders, and go to therapy..

Thanks for sharing that, i signed it. I suggest anyone who uses reddit sign as well. Would be nice to have a political subreddit where you can actually discuss politics, if this succeeds.

Good on whoever put that post together, taking initiative. Like I said, apathy only benefits those in power.

Petitioner was banned. What a surprise.
reddit.com/r/socialism/comments/5nzazt/our_collective_response_to_the_petition/dcfeasc/

Jeez

"We can't have elections of our current mods because we say so"

"why did u add new mods on accounts who are 20 days old, are they just the mods who just got 'banned'?"

wew they need to revolt

Archive in case they take it down: archive.is/jT2RT

Also, the users don't seem to like this at all.

The more they have to turn r/soc into r/prague spring, the more people will be hating them.

Remember.
It's good that the spring failed, or the dream would be gone.

That's so insane– now they're just doing these muck-racking campaigns on everyone who disagrees with them, and if they can't find anything, they just ban them anyway.

Is every ex-military banned from r/socialism now?

The more they ban people who speak out for vague and bullshit reasons, the more outraged people are going to get. They're digging their own graves with this.

Reminder that VoteAnimal2012 is a /r/fullcommunist mod.

I've noticed the posts cheering on the r/socialism mods are coming from /r/fullcommunism mods too

well shit
wondered what the hell was up with him

Yeah, I started to use RES like recommended to tag the mods of both subreddits and I except to notice more and more stuff like this in the near future.

Yeah, I started to use RES like recommended to tag the mods of both subreddits and I expect to notice more and more stuff like this in the near future.

Shit can't delete my comment with "except" sorry

They are not, as reddit mods are literally omnipotent on their own subreddit. They can just ban dissent and let the fact that they are called /r/socialism maintain their status are the premiere leftist subreddit.

You cannot rule without subjects.
Sure, they'll still have numbers. But if noone posts, what will be the point?

There's more than enough toadies to sustain the population until ignorant newfags appear again.

First proving that vanguards are shit, and now debunking reformism. r/socialism is really teaching life lessons to young socialists.

Read a book ya dumbass.

And that's why we'll have to make them act out again, when the time comes.


The role of leadership is in accordance to the community.

Wow, who could have guessed that giving a small clique absolute power to decide right and wrong would lead to issues.

Thought you might like to know that something IS being done.
