for the sanctimony shills, uh, I mean free-speech purists, to also study and discuss Q and related issues.
And then can we start a betting pool on just how fast it burns to the ground?
I know this might be some extra work, but it’ll be both educational and hilarious.
I’ll kick in the $30 to register the URL (and hey, no front-running domain poachers on greatawakeningmuhfreespeechedition.win now folks!)
concern trolls don't realize they come off as shills and glowies almost instantly.
Ain’t that the truth!
It must be so frustrating for them. “Hey, I’m doing it just like it says in the Shill Guide boss gave me, but these people, they’re just laughing at me.”
Nice one, lmao!
The domain name needs some work, but the idea is good. I doubt it will be hilarious though. I suspect a lot of people will switch to it out of principle.
Well they can always come back... after a mandatory humiliating ritual debasement*, of course.
(*pretty much consisting of saying “I wuz wrong”)
Ok. Removed of it being about this forum, what you said is utterly stupid.
So you're fine with removing free speech. So then you'll also be fine with removing guns. Or private property rights. Or the right to own and run your own business.
You're fine with people being forced to take a vaccine to be able to work or the like?
It's just a little communism. It's just a little fascism.
The high and mighty way you dismiss the rights of free speech, so casually, is disturbingly similar to how the left side view us.
They didn't believe we had a right to a free and fair election coz the result would have offended people, so they rigged the election. You may as well say "MuhFreeandfairelections".
The sheer fact you're belittling something in this manner, makes me wonder why you're here.... What exactly are you fighting for?
Truth.
And humor.
But mainly truth.
Oh, and not at all for the insane right of shills to completely trash one of the last places in the world where we can talk about exactly what this site was established to talk about.
So, then, why are you here? ?
Don't you get that censorship never stops at what it starts out to stop?
Once you let the cat out of the bag, then people find new things to be offended by.
Let me put it this way - on other platforms, you cannot say QANON. It will get you banned. Censored.
You and I know that word has no power. But others are very offended and troubled by it.
Once you start, you do not stop.
I don't get why this concept is so hard for people to understand. Have you ever been to Pol? Notice how it's completely overrun by shills? That's because they have almost entirely free speech there. Unless you want every other post to be n***** hate threads, this is necessary.
So lets call it what it is then,"controlled free speech".
Go for it. I've seen many people claiming that GAW and theDonald are bastions of free speech. This is incorrect. Maybe it just feels that way to some because they are allowed to say things here that they can't elsewhere, but these boards always have been and always will be fairly heavily moderated.
lol
I am grateful for pol and I'd prefer this site not to turn into Something Awful. Full of trannies and thought police.
You really don't get it do you? Once you start, once you let that cat out of the bag in SUCH a way, it never ends.
No, you don't get it. If they stopped moderating, this community would die.
That is how the people who rigged the election felt about America. If voting wasn't moderated by them, then the country would die.
I'm not saying people should be free to incite violence, but I care that free speech isn't stomped on because it hurts someone's feelings. Because it's the same logic employed elsewhere.
This is why Trump is facing impeachment. Because he "incited" something. But did he? He was just using the freedom of his speech. He didn't incite anything.
This is why none of you guys get it. You're fine if you're the ones doing the censoring. But if it's against you? 50 million posts in one day.
Look your comprehension of how things work is just way off. You're wrong and making ridiculous comparisons.
Not at all. You just fail to see the correlation.
Why don't you accept Biden? It's just going to be a LITTLE bit of communism. Others would say you're crazy. Until it finally creeps in and settles in for good.
It's just a little bit of gun rights being taken away, don't be such a big baby. Full gun rights come in - people say "Well... I guess it's for the good of all".
It's just a mask, bro. It's just a vaccine, bro. It's just 14 days to flatten the curve, bro. It's just a lil censorship or muh private company, bro.
Put more bluntly : You're failing to see ahead to the end road. That's a part of the reason we're in the mess we're in. You accept just a little and then a little bit more then it's fully in the gate. You're the guy who said "Hey... what harm can letting this wooden empty horse in, do? It'd be offensive to leave a gift at the gate".
You're a part of that problem.
You either believe in something or you don't. It's very simple. I don't care about people's words, I don't have to like what they say, but I'll defend their right to say it. I don't like rights to be infringed. That's how you end up losing it all.
Your policies would kill this community. There is no argument about this. I know you don't seem to understand the information war were in right now, but this is just how it is. I appreciate Pol too, but if you want every board on the internet to be like it, you're a fool. Not all censorship is bad, it's not always evil. It's literally impossible to have a community tied to a specific purpose that doesn't censor some things. Literally impossible. What don't you understand about this?
You make a slippery slope argument when there is no slope. Nothing has changed. This board was built by censorship. It would not even exist without it. We're not creeping toward anything, just following the rules that we laid out at the begging that lead to civil conversation.
How?
SA is a shithole because it orientated away from it's main motivation. It became overly censorious, yet orientated to the new narrative. It's just a circlejerk of diaper fur porn and social justice now.
I mean you can censor whatever you want, I just fail to see how people can moan and complain about the government doing the same to them.
Either you believe in something, or you don't.
Banning a word seems extreme and a big shift compared to deporting for trolls/bots/spam/communist propagandists/violence provocateurs. It’s suspicious happening here to say the least. It’s a hallmark of the leftists I’m sure you considered this before the post.
Edit:
Great post https://greatawakening.win/p/12hRCJ85pI/x/c/4Dx42BbHvcm
The funny thing is, the word was already banned, as per the "Civil Discussion ONLY" rule on the sidebar. There was no reason for a thread to be made warning people that they're not allowed to use the N-word here, directing it at all users with an accusatory and threatening tone despite acknowledging that the word is primarily if not entirely being used by shills.
Now, actual users expressing concern regarding this oddly specific warning and wondering if it's the beginning of a slippery slope (e.g. if you say anything negative about the Rothschilds or George Soros it's antisemitism), are being straw-manned as racists and shills. Few if any are advocating for being allowed to use the N-word, as they were not previously using the word anyway.
To reiterate my point from the other thread, it would've been far better for the mods to make a post informing us about the uptick in shill activity and that they're currently trying to make us look bad by using the N-word, so we should report anyone we see doing that. Instead, we got phrases like "I shouldn't have to say this," and "Stop it, or else," as if everyone here were suddenly spouting racist slurs.
?
You maybe should be aware that I had already bet the existence of my account here on the fact that I believe deleting an account based on a word without looking at context and intent is a bad, bad, very ill-considered idea.

We can and should debate what’s constructive and what’s destructive here, but to compare this community to a content-agnostic platform and demand “free speech”, here, is beyond retarded.
Thanks great post
I think words are a solid line, ya.
I disagree with it but I hardly post the word anyways.
Honestly I’d probably take the news better that the deport button is being removed. Votes are effectively crowdsourced moderation anyways.
Hey thanks for the replies and your hard work
Touché!
So how are the reporting tools for admins on this site? It’d be hi-larious to see how many times the “muh free speeches” gang has slapped the Deport button.
I doubt you'd be banned for talking about Lord of the Rings on a Harry Potter forum, that is unless you spammed the forum with threads or were otherwise making a nuisance of yourself.
Granted, some Harry Potter fans are pretty hardcore about it, so I might be wrong.
Stop making sense!
Doing so evidently offends some people.
I'm currently arguing with someone who thinks that racial slurs aren't offensive because "they are just a series of letters". I don't understand these people. How do you not understand the need to keep a board like this clean?
Oh, I’m with you on that last part, 100%. “Free-speech” demands here are as asinine as asinine gets.
And I believe I know who you’re referring to, and yes, he’s pretty much a race-obsessed creep. (and hey, there’s racists on all sides, and I’ll even concede that some of these folks might even have some partially valid points, which they thoroughly discredit by being motivated by hate and not love. But regardless, that issue is not integral to our purpose here, and his constant need to bring it up is suspiciously awful.).
Although I must admit to not being a particular fan of a “word ban” and especially its thin-skinned roll-out. My thoughts are more fully articulated here in this comment: https://greatawakening.win/p/12hRCJ85pI/x/c/4Dx42BbHvcm
Good grief, the bullshit he constantly spews is clearly and constantly racist. He's obviously doing it to set himself apart and get attention, which is as equally pathetic as the content. I know he'd come back under another name, but I wish he could be banned.
