basically ze pollack/YMB's post history in any global south thread - ME and venezuela come to mind. the people they're taking down are always ghouls like volkerball or local/emigrant warhawks who are scarcely better but the posts are always creepy and masturbatory. when i was talking about the difference between leftists who post bad and centrists who post evil, YMB was the poster child for the former.

I asked in Book Barn but didn't get much of an answer, so I'll ask here: What are the best books about the 2016 election? I'd like something more analytical and less focused on insider gossip, but mostly I'd like it to be reliable.

ZP and YMB are arguing against wars that will kill hundreds of thousands of people but because they do it the wrong way, they are not welcome while the ghouls desiring mega-death are

As unsatisfying an answer as it may be, I think we're still a few years away from a retrospective that hits all those targets.

All right, gently caress it then - are there any 2016 election books that are worth reading, or at the very least, entertaining?

How are u posted:CSPAMers seem to be melting down that their forum is not a top-level forum? I don't quite understand why that's important. We've been dissatisfied with PPJ and logik's moderation for quite a while, and making CSPAM a top-level forum would ensure that PPJ won't gently caress with it anymore. We find it a little hard to trust the promises that he won't gently caress with CSPAM as it stands. At the moment, QCS is closed, so we can't really voice those complaints there, but every time someone makes a thread on the topic in CSPAM, it gets gassed and the OP gets probed. So it's not a pretty situation.

i am ambivalent because i still don't like people getting in their heads that making repeated, sincere death threats online is cool and i don't know anything about dickeye so whatever i swear sometimes it seems like this site is a few metal justifications off from trying to say doxxing forum members is appropriate as long as we don't like the target

I for one greatly enjoy that the admins said D&D mods would stay out of cspam, followed immediately by D&D mods gassing a whole bunch of threads in cspam. Really makes the staff of these forums look like they have their poo poo together. I don't even post in cspam, I'm just sick of bigot apologists and decorum obsessed nitwits having free reign in d&d while the people upset about that poo poo are getting probated and banned constantly.

Perhaps if the moderation team had properly handled the lovely bad faith trolls and bigots constantly hounding those posters, they wouldn't have lashed out at them. Crazy thought, I know!
