We all know the feds are going to get more active under Trump. What measures should we take to prevent Holla Forumsetariat from getting arrested?
For one, I've decided to make an explicit rule against loli illustrations and shit like that. It usually isn't a problem here, but I want users and mods here to know that it has to be deleted. There are comrades from all over the world here who don't have lenient laws and can't risk it. Pedofags deal with it.
Also, I want to know what you all think should be the limit on incitement of violence. We're a revolutionary forum, but I occasionally see people posting very direct incitement of terrorist acts and so on. Do we draw the line somewhere?
You're fine because of the disclaimer at the bottom of every 8ch page. Don't threaten to kill people you disagree with on 8ch and you'll be fine.

I'm of the opinion that everyone should get to draw their own line as far as what they want to risk getting prosecuted for. Its not like loli where you can get I trouble for just having seen it on your computer, LOOKING at incitement of violence isn't going to get people on trouble.
Asher Gomez
Direct incitement should be kicked off immediately. 'Kill porky' and 'Bash the Fash' don't count, though.

I think you should put up and pin a thread on how posters can efficiently protect their identities, although if state agencies are after you chances are they will find you. I know Tor posting is forbidden here and that is probably a good thing, since Tor alone is not enough. Short rundown of an ideal setup: Hardened Gentoo with FDE running on a Libreboot system ideally being connected to either a public or cracked WiFi, you can also use SIM cards that are not traced to you, run Whonix, connect to VPN, connect to Tor, connect to Socks 5 proxy or RDP, everything bought with anonymously acquired BTC and obviously don't leak any identifiable information. Ideal would be burner phones that can not be tracked back to you. how far you people want to go in protecting your privacy is up to you.
Other than that everyone needs to know how comfortable they are posting here, I'm not from the US and don't plan criminal behaviour so I don't even worry about it.

I don't want to ban incitement to violence. We're revolutionaries here, not reformists, and revolutions have casualties - besides, we're on a site which doesn't care and which doesn't display usernames, and should take advantage of that fact.
That said, comrades, don't be stupid, know your local laws and/or how not to be tracked, and stay safe.
Bentley Morris
As a lolitfag myself, I agree with the decision. And in fact, I would love to see the board gain a stronger stance vs shitposting. I'd hope to see more education threads and less larping.
As for incitement of violence. Well, perhaps implication of revolutionary violence, especially as a reaction to clear and direct oppression and exploitation as opposed to "hang porky's kids xD" might be tolerable, but i'm really not certain on the legality.
One big thing I want to see is a surge of education based threads, perhaps one or two can even be stickied. I've been thinking about starting a reading group. Yeah, I know, another failure in the making. But shit's got to get done. I'm hoping to just start something for the many socialist here (including myself) who aren't well read. Compared to the average 'murcan, or canadian in my case, I've got a better grasp than most because I've gone beyond both propaganda and internet memes. But by no means do I, or lots of others here, have a truly solid foundation in leftism.
Finally, as much as I love Holla Forums, and I do, despite the bitchfights I get into with one or two regular posters, it's the only non-idpol far left discussion I can find it's really not suitable for truly revolutionary organization. For that, we need our own site, built explicitly for that, and it may in fact have certain features inherited from image boards, but it needs to be purpose built, and imho, that's the best thing that could come from Holla Forums.

What I recently noticed on here is Holla Forumsacks LARPing as leftists and screeching at every mention of sexism and racism as being ´´identity politics´´, just now there is a thread on page 1 being derailed and spammed with this. I don't think we should tolerate this, just as much as we ban liberals COINTELPRO'ing with endorsements of idpol and neoliberal agenda or SJWs, it's a tactic used to derail threads and shitpost them up. I would like to have discussions about the revolutionary potential within movements like BLM, which does have socialist personalities among them who are trying to lead it into a Marxist direction instead of being co-opted by the liberal agenda, but you have to be lucky in that the thread does not get raided and derailed.
Good point. I think Holla Forums can be a great way to introduce people to leftism and memes, but I think banning the shitposts is essential for that.
David Ross
Chances are if America or whatever goes full right-wing authoritarian they will just try to shut all of Holla Forums down for promoting porn, piracy and political extremism.
