Is that a possible expansion? It is. Can I imagine Russia in particular doing it to flex (or just saying they did it)? Yeah.

But right now, that’s just not how China and the US are working.

They’re way more into dickhead weapons that can kill a high value target or blind some radars or smash an important asset in garrison/port without starting a nuclear war.

Imagine how pointless it would be for someone like China to fire a handful of sneaky low yield nukes at the US. It’s dumb. Now imagine how much it could benefit them if they had a credible platform for just day 1 blinding rival ballistic missile radars or crippling a big ship without risking nuclear response.

If this is as bad as it looks, Taxman gotta go. I hope we keep the forums up, but if not it’s been a great run.

Lowtax in that facebook thread posted:

I hate to break it to you, but I was recording everything you said to me about you lying to the police. About how you told my ex that I beat you, and then you admitted to her that you lied about that. Bipolar medicine + alcoholism

Dude just lives in one constant spiral of poo poo.

Probably not, the site is his sole source of income so he’s not going to walk away from it. He controls the LLC that runs the forums so the only way he cedes control is if he chooses to so all the forums coup talk is meaningless. The coders could conceivably lock him out for a time or delete the database but any disruption to Lowtax’s control would get overturned and the coders probably eat a lawsuit for their trouble.

The most likely outcome is a lot of users stop posting or self-ban, including substantial numbers of the mods and admins, but the site won’t go anywhere for a while.

I’m definitely not defending Lowtax but if you’re going to quit a platform run by a domestic abuser switching to one run by a white supremacist isn’t really trading up.
