"...it seems like a chink in the plan..."
I see what you did there! ?
A frighteningly large number of people ARE stupid, I'm afraid :/
I hope this Lefty perspective is not being posted here unironically...
Rights to free speech are about maintaining an open marketplace of ideas. The sentiment in the above comic is contrary to that. It should be obvious to any thinking person that a free and open marketplace of ideas is incompatible with the notion that you might be punished for speaking your mind.
It is not unreasonable here to keep conversation on topic, and neither is it unreasonable to protect against outside attacks meant to undermine the purpose of this forum. But that whole, "Your free speech is intact if we punish you for it, because we're not the government. We just think you're an ass hole," is a Lefty talking point. Anyone who takes it is nowhere near being fully awake.
It occurs to me that it might be nice for this forum, wanting to present a good face to the public, if there was a default filter in place that offered a public-facing, default, lightly censored presentation. Then, once people join, allow an option in settings to see ALL material. Of course, still ban ads, obvious trolls, etc., but otherwise let the individual users decide how much they want to see. With that, give individual users the ability to block and filter content further to suit their own wants/needs.
I would prefer a compromise like I suggested, because I don't trust ANYONE FOR ANY REASON doing my content filtering for me. Trusting others to filter our content for us is largely how we got to where we are. Furthermore, if someone has incorrect ideas, but we don't know because they are so effectively censored, how do we convince them to change their views? We cannot. We just make them bitter and fracture communities. Likewise, how can you bring truth to an ignorant community if that community falsely believes your perspective to be so wrong that they ban it/you outright without even an opportunity to be heard/considered?
Frankly, the pro-censorship slant I've see around here recently has been one of the most discouraging things I have witnessed recently and does not bode well for the US or the world. I am hopeful that it has been inspired by genuinely good intentions just poorly executed.
As Thomas Paine said, "He who dares not offend cannot be honest." Feelings should not anywhere provide a barrier against honest discussion.
God has a plan for you. Just be the best you that you can be and you’ll do great! ?
You have to ask yourself, are the mods in question really so stupid or is this by design?
Right? I posted on last night's thread much the same. The mod stepped in it, let his ego get the better of him, and now it appears there is a deliberate attack underway to divide-and-conquer based on a fake problem this board never had in the first place. People need to wake up and see through these wicked efforts to undermine what's great about this place.
I'm pretty sure they're posting because they are trying to deploy a divide-and-conquer strategy against this board. There is no problem with racism here and there has never been. We are pro-America here, and Americans come in all colors, shapes, sizes, backgrounds, etc. Their tactics should be pretty transparent to us here. The fact that many are falling into this trap shows they aren't fully awake or that some people are just born sheep and will never be fully awake.
Are you trying to imply that people of color are prone to lack of self-control, violent outbursts, and intolerance? That sounds pretty racist to me. Your whole position is also a red herring as far as I can tell. I haven't seen any racism on this board.
You probably haven't met many actual racists at all, because there aren't very many of them. They are phantoms nefarious people manufacture to justify illegitimate authoritarian actions and rhetoric. Real racists are mostly laughed at anymore, and rightfully so.
Cite a single racist post from this site. I am here way more often than I probably should be, and I have yet to see anything of that sort til these divisive threads showed up. We don't have a race problem here. We have an infiltration problem.
"which is not productive in any way, is wrong, is offensive, and is counterproductive to our mission and the mission of Q"
Yeah, so that's YOUR opinion on the matter. You think it is such a wonderful opinion that no one needs to hear any alternative opinions. Alternative opinions should fear some punitive measure, eh? That sounds familiar. Where have I heard that before? ?
How about instead of trying to do other people's thinking for them you just use the block button for your individual account in order to protect yourself from scary combinations of letters on your screen? There are valid reasons to punish misuse of the forum, but word choice is not one of them!
Looks like you have a lot of Lefty programming in your mind. We have freedom of speech. Why go whispering in private messages? To appease empty-headed sheep whose eyes are on us? How about instead they worry about our eyes on them? We are the majority! You are internalizing Lefty nonsense and trying to grow it like a cancer. If someone posts something Q-related that is of high quality, but it is filled with the 'N-word', that post should be 100% allowed on this site. Individuals who don't like it can stop reading or block that person from their personal account. We don't need mods protecting us from words, ffs! Personally, I cannot imagine such a post as I described being possible, but no one should be targeted for using any particular word. That is completely asinine! Take that Lefty, Marxist, Rules for Radicals horse-shit somewhere else! It has no place here!
To be clear, I strongly suspect that there are extremely valid reasons for banning most posts that use the 'N-word', but none of those valid reasons is word choice!
Y'all still trying to manufacture a problem where one never existed, huh? I have yet to see one of these alleged racist posts. They must be like a unicorn guarding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, huh? Banning people for (not actually) using a word you don't like? Go back to Reddit, snowflake!
I love my black brothers and sisters, but I despise anti-American, pro-censorship, self-righteous, progressive shit-heels. Any mod who cannot form a reasonable argument consistent with the values of this board to justify punitive action, who instead resorts to Lefty style rhetoric which is devoid of all substance, is unfit to moderate this board, should be removed immediately, and should lurk more and post less until he or she truly understands what we're about around here.
Frankly, I find it hard to believe anyone genuinely of this community would engage in this fake race crap. This reeks of Leftist divide-and-conquer tactics. It is looking increasingly likely that the enemy has infiltrated here. Considering they successfully infiltrated many more highly secured places, this should not come as a surprise. Stay aware of their evil tactics. Ignore them. Let's try not to allow our time and energy to be wasted any further going forward. Hopefully, the more senior mods will deport these infiltrators quickly!
If I were the enemy, one thing I’d probably do to hurt this board is create a problem where one does not exist and use it to start drama. It distracts from positive efforts and foments division. Isn’t it one of Alinski’s Rules for Radicals? Some other Marxist social engineering strategy?
I haven’t seen mention of any notable “N word” here until this thread...
Read the room, buddy. Admit you messed up, have a laugh with us about it, and let’s move on.
We’re glad to have you here and appreciate your efforts, but your approach in this case is just a bit against the culture. We are not racists, but we support free speech. You probably have cause to ban the racists for reasons other than their speech. We don’t want racist trolls here, either, but we strongly support free speech. Set your ego aside and think it through. We don’t gain anything infighting here, friend.
I say if you want free speech then come to America, because I champion our First Amendment rights!
You trying to say they all have the same preference or something? And why do they get to be an authority on the English language? If anyone gets authority over English, shouldn’t it be the English natives who were pretty much all white as far as I know?
Look, I’m being facetious. I love all decent people, and I try to love and forgive the bad ones. But this identity obsession and hypersensitivity is part of the problem and needs to stop. I call them Black like I call others White. And I’m not into hyphenated Americans. We are all just Americans. Some good. Some bad.
If people need to be banned for trolling and such, fine. If they’re trolling by using certain volatile speech, fine, ban them for trolling. If they’re on some race stuff and aren’t somehow tying it into Q, ban them for being off-topic. But around here, I didn’t think we were about censorship just because someone doesn’t like what someone else has to say. I say let the baddies speak loudly and clearly! Makes it easy to identify them!
Yeah, I am pretty ignorant about the George stuff, so nothing to say for it or against. But just a fact we should all bear in mind: it is rather trivial to spoof one’s location. Therefore, if the location posts are all George has going, I wouldn’t pay it any special attention and would continue to treat it with the usual skepticism.
Nah, you’re fine! Have a good night!
I was trying to be funny wanting patience via immediate gratification ?
Food for thought from Luke 6:27-28: “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”
Especially when surrounded by sheep let us aspire to be good shepherds. Be strong and humble. Do good where we can.
Humans are fallible. I would encourage you to maintain full, unconditional faith in God alone. I believe that it is perhaps now more important than ever that we keep Him in the forefront and give Him all the glory. I think Q would agree, no? ?
Any tips on how to achieve such a state rapidly, like preferably #RIGHT NOW!!! ?
Paul Ehrlich Institute? Is this the same Paul Ehrlich? https://www.prisonplanet.com/1972-article-unearthed-worse-than-hitler-population-bomb-author-paul-ehrlich-suggested-adding-a-forced-sterilization-agent-to-staple-food-and-water-supply.html
