The first two threads in front are bait, there's three seprate threads whining about dead burgerland cops, and finally just what hope is a serious thread thread asking us how we feel about Maoism. And now my own shitty thread.
BO has gone quiet for a while, and we've had mods increasingly willing to let obvious bait and Holla Forums shitposting fly: partly out of laziness, partly out of some vague notion of "maintaining free speech," and partially to spite a community they've become increasingly disillusioned over.
Best you can do is sage/report/hide shit threads and bump decent threads. Hopefully at some point in the near future the moderation problem gets dealt with.
Hunter Morris
the wsws thread actually has theory in it though
unlike the others which is just copcucks and polshits
William Richardson
You can always tell shitposters to fuck off to >>>/leftyb/
They're welcome there.
Jordan Sanchez
Bernie lost. Far right rising.
Face it, someone shooting cops is only thing Holla Forums has gotten over.
And that someone gets killed by a robot, which is kinda prophetic in a way. Automation wouldn't bring communism, it would destroy communists even harder.
Hunter Foster
it's summer
Zachary Howard
Automation will destroy the entire proletariat. The number of viable jobs will approach zero, causing unrest, which the ruling class will categorize as domestic terrorism. The more prevalent it gets the more justifiable military action will seem to the few remaining who care. By the time it gets this bad, we'll likely have fully-automated enforcers, meaning nobody has to remain loyal except the very few necessary to keep those systems running.
Or, they could just make bunkers for themselves and let the earth die while they work on space travel.

Look on the bright side famrade, at least there's my thread:
Seriously though: These seeds of Holla Forums's decline into being this bad have been sown a long time ago. There has always been this general sentiment of trying to basically suck up to the right and prove that we're not like the other lefties… ;^), and that on top of "free speech" as an excuse for Holla Forums to shitpost here, the influx of newfags, the lack of people who read theory or do anything IRL for leftism or anarchism, and the general state of Holla Forums and the people who use imageboards (ex-Holla Forumsyps who are still spooked), has all been mixed together into a sandwich of shit and AIDS masquerading as "leftism".
Things might have been different if the mods were more on top of their game, but I think it was basically unavoidable that the board would turn into some kind of cult of seekrit club-tier "leftism". It's kind of hard to avoid with imageboards.
Jackson Jones
When we started having to point out to the roleplayers here that terrorism isn't a good PR strategy.

who'd have guessed
just remember not to call the police when you see a black person in your neighborhood

Evan Scott
They have not. user is acting infantile; you're refusing to resist Holla Forumsution trolling (which where all the shitposts come from). Instead of moderating yourself and letting them hear their own echo, you bite their bait every time and give them the 200 reply attention they desire.
Isaiah Collins
That kind of self-moderating bullshit does not fucking work, and this is a demonstrable fact that you can see just from lurking here.
It doesn't fucking matter if you ignore the Holla Forumslution. All it takes is one idiot or false flag to respond to the thread and keep it on the front page, and oftentimes that's enough to snowball into more replies. Face it: There's an overwhelming amount of stupidity on this board. Self-moderation at this point would be asking too much of Holla Forums
Brandon Sanders
believe it or not we have converted some Holla Forumsyps an there were multiple threads in teh past confirming it. So it's worth the shot.
Also Holla Forums becoming an echo chamber like Holla Forums makes us look weak and not able to defend are positions from the reactionary narrative.
Daniel White
no.
Parker James
Yeah, and they bring with them their spooks about race and the Nation and shit like that. Clearly the kind of people we want on our side, right?
Nicholas Kelly
It works in every community, digital or analog, as long as the community is dedicated or in other words cohesive. If Holla Forums cannot do this it's because of a failing of this principle. Which is why it's up to perceptive users to be the vanguard and guide the rest.
Easton Price
It's the IRC
Chase Miller
Yeah, and the problem is that Holla Forums's community is pretty shit and isn't going to just fix itself.
lolno. Fuck off LARPer
Adrian Mitchell
Thus I say vanguard to impart a praxis that can refuse, resist, and distill the board.
Sebastian Ross
And thus I say again: Fuck off LARPer. The IRC shitposting intelligentsia only marginally helps the board by adding a bit of actual theory to the discussion. But they're still autists
Carter Gray
This is shit after these type of events because all they shitty threads and baits start appearing that are just lame. The cop incident has nothing to do with leftism or us. Nothing. In fact, almost no event does because the left is fringe and its just a bunch of liberals fight among each other. Sage the hell out of those threads.
Brandon Hernandez
prickly pls
Evan Butler
This tbh fam
Benjamin Peterson
We're at impasse.
Of our positions on the matter I believe the more reasonable users will agree with me and adopt praxis. Because it is a solution as opposed to fatalistic wallowing in an abyss of excrement.
Caleb Long
The solution is to abandon this board for the failure that it is and stop LARPing like a retard who thinks this is an actual front for leftism and not just a bunch of autists shitposting about "leftism" on some obscure corner of the internet. The very idea of mixing together a bunch of ideologies with little in common under the vague banner of "leftism" was a mistake in the first place.
Gavin Foster
No, it makes it way worse.
Cameron Lopez
I'll take autists who at least pretend to read and who start conversations about theory over a cult of "leftists" who clearly have never read anything and yet act as though they're literally the fucking Vanguard for being here.
Benjamin James
Hell, fuck reading anything - the bigger problem is that no one fucking does anything.
Jason Campbell
We had plenty of theory discussion before you faggots started importing your drama and attention whoring ruining every thread you participate in. Stop acting like you are some vanguard of Holla Forums who will save us from the shitposting when you faggots can't stop shitposting everywhere.
Xavier Collins

Preaching water, drinking wine.
Jeremiah Barnes
If Holla Forums believes a society without classes and hierarchy can work, why is there a board owner and a cadre of powerful mods?
Luke Ward
don't forget the IRC vanguard.
Adam Bell
k fam, I barely even post in the bunkerchan IRC these days. #anarcho is where its at
Nathan Young
This questioning is leading into dangerous territory. Free speech is not something that we should just allow to people, otherwise they could reform and revise our Party's theory! What Holla Forums needs most of all is wordfilters and infinity-bans to keep the counter-revolutionaries and lumpens at bay. They don't understand that…in socialism everyone is equal but some are more equal than others!
Connor Harris
Daily reminder that n1x is the worst poster here and old leftypol bullied him constantly.
Benjamin Rivera
Rebel is worse tbh
Zachary Morgan
Every shitty community needs its gadfly ;^)
Landon Evans

Dylan Ramirez
also not even slightly true tbh. It was more like one or two autists accusing me of using VPNs to make it seem like there were people here that liked my posts. Which to this day I still find hilarious
Ryder Cook
Feels bad, grrrl.
Lucas Evans
let's not inflate our namefag's egos here too much, Holla Forums's actual most hated poster is the anonymous shitposter.
Bob Black did literally nothing wrong except not kill the cops after calling them :^)
Parker Garcia
Checkers?
Gavin Clark
That's bullshit n1x and you know it. It got so bad you stop using the flag. I remember when there was an entire thread bashing you. All your opinions are still incredibly unpopular around here especially that post left crap. Don't act like the silent majority were on your side or something.
Get a a trip and maybe one day you'll surpass him.
Logan Powell
Nah fam that was part of my suicide meme.
Anyways idk about a whole thread bashing me, but I'm pretty aware of how unpopular my post-left tendencies are. Why do you think I keep posting here?
Anthony Johnson
Nyx nyxnyx, Nyx. Nyx.
Jose Bailey
I mean I don't count people disagreeing with my unpopular opinions being "bullying", but okay.
Brandon Nguyen
When was this board founded?
Justin Murphy
"Board quality" is a spook
Brody Miller
^
John Wilson
I can't believe you forgot that shit. It was just people bashing on you not "debating" you. It was just a page of insults telling you to jerk off with the other tripfags on bunkerchan. If that's not bullying I don't know what is.
Justin Barnes
kek I legitimately don't remember that. Sounds p lulzy
Jordan Campbell
You seem pretty pissed off at the time. I didn't see you post for weeks after that.
Colton Hughes
tl;dr anarkiddies

Henry Gomez
Probably because of the PTSD it caused
William Allen
Ah, I see. You "forgot".
Therapy is actually working out in your case. Good!
Don't let bullies make you have anymore mental breakdowns, Nyx.
You can do it! We believe in you!
Ethan Murphy
idk I guess I'll take your word on it. It wouldn't surprise me to have forgotten about it since my memory kind of sucks
Yep, Holla Forums triggered me so hard that I had to repress the hurt feels and kill myself symbolically.
I still have delusions of being dead so clearly the therapy either isn't working or I'm actually dead.
Luke Smith

Lucas Foster
What are you, fucking gay?
Colton White
nothing wrong with being gay you faggot
Easton Gray
That's what a faggot would say.
Post feet for proof
Cooper Robinson
Jesus so many retards in this thread.
So for anyone hating the IRC, why? We dont actually do anything. We chill on our own IRC and mumble and that's it. We never claimed to be a vangaurd of leftypol, that was something butthurt anarchkiddies have been repeating.
We have only caused real drama once, and that was because one of the actual mods of this place started banning us all for literally no reason. I think that's something worse causing a little camotion over.
There was a point where there were many, many tripfags on leftypol. This was not the IRC's fault, it just so happened the majority of them went on the IRC. Now however, only about 2 maybe 3 people regually trip from the IRC.
So what's the fucking problem? Stop pinning all of leftypol's problems on us when we're ultimately doing fuck all to leftypol. Hell most of us go on bunkerchan more than leftypol by this point.
The real problem with leftypol are the mods who refuse to talk with their own user base about problems, and refuse to implement any quality control for bait threads.
Ryan Thompson
I'm tired of Rebel shitting every thread, about economics, about philosophy, about anything.
And I'm tired of waiting for the lewd pics you owe us, tbh.
Jonathan Clark
This, all irc fags should be permd.
Charles Myers
i don't really have anything against IRC fags i'm just annoyed by their vapid "intellectualism"
Tyler Young
I do see mods delete the worst of bait or saying shit like "yeah lets kill whitey comrades" but some 'bait' threads still help win over Holla Forumsacks and new fags.
not really, there is plenty of people worth listening too but don't sit all day at home jacking off on IRC. IRC is hang out not intense discussion about theory 24/7
