Fritz the Horse posted:Regarding left vs. liberal, it's worth noting that a large proportion of the active D&D USPol mods identify as communists. I am a communist, albeit of the depressed variety who thinks that the conditions for creating a communist state don't currently exist in the developed world and the best we can hope for it to make do for the foreseeable future.

So as we potentially approach the end of yet another thread, can I request a summary of what the mod team has learned and planns to do, either as the Final Post or an update to the OP?

As I said, we're going to review the thread alongside the admins and we'll post our impressions and plans of action in this thread at a later date, and reopen it for comment then.

Perhaps the relevant snippets should be posted in the rules thread; if the Media Analysis thread is to act as a de facto rules thread, it seems a bit onerous to expect everyone to read the whole thing.

I've read many pages of the thread, and consider it bad for several different reasons, most of which were enumerated multiple times in this thread and largely ignored, but the worst part is what you've pointed out: that it's a de facto rules thread with posters and mods pointing other posters to read one of the most ideologically homogenous threads on the forum.

Mooseontheloose posted:If I wasn't clear, my point is that there are people who are using the term liberal to end discussion and not engage with what is being discussed, much like tankie is around here as well. Yes, I understood what you were saying, which is why I directed it at someone who clearly did not. Because I agree with you.

It's proof that you have no idea what the labels mean. If you have some aversion to studying leftist thought, then fine. Just take the label? It's not hard to either put some critical thought into it or just self identify as one. The fact that you seem to believe implicitly that it's a negative label does, actually, say a lot. fool of sound posted:OK commissar Thanks, but if I posted this in any discussion thread I'd be probated for it, and you know it.

When discussions actually ranged beyond his affectations, he made it immediately clear he was just a rich guy whose imagination began and ended with BEB. It was extremely funny when he earnestly tried to argue that voting in liberal elections constituted collective proletarian action though lol e: but yeah there are definitely libs in cspam who manage to not be obnoxious about it. Some of them even post in succ zone e2: dang I went to go look up an old slapfight I had with him over this exact subject in the old thread and it was exactly one year ago today.

Well hey, whatever the mods do I’m sure we’ll probably all be unhappy with it, and maybe it’ll help a little, or maybe it’ll make it a lot worse, and we’ll all still be miserable at the end. It’s a lot like the Democrats!  Let’s remember that we all share the strange affliction of giving a poo poo about this place and the discussion here, and try to share some sense of camaraderie about that. This thread sure was a thread.

Final thought: I like the liberals that think they are leftist, generally. They are trying to do the right thing despite decades of capitalist ideological indoctrination. I like D&D and want it to be better and stop getting worse (free vitalsigns). This was a good thread. The fundamental problem with D&D is linear posting. We can't not repeat arguments. Koos pointed out this issue, and it's the biggest one. We need an argumans or a kialo. Maybe a forums migration caravan. Or a goon project.
