i like how the mod explanation went from "well we don't want to look like genocide denialists" and when asked why people being fine with us-sponsored genocides and openly fawning over their architects isn't grounds for forums-wide action it went to "well you just want a stalinist forum but we can't have that"

its almost like the decisions are made arbitrarily and so increasingly absurd excuses have to be created after the fact

A lot of people who don't identify as tankies or Stalinists start identifying as tankies and Stalinists when folks start conflating those things with poo poo like basic media literacy and anti-imperialism

basically if someone says the us should go to war with China then we should all make fun of him and give him red texts and dunce avatars. and if someone says China is not repressing their ethnic minorities then we should laugh at them and make jokes at their expense. and if someone types a word that is forbidden instead of using a synonym which means the same thing or typing the first letter of the word and the the word word, then you should
laugh at them and make fun of them if you like and through this whole process all the mods should do is punish people who commit real life crimes so basically only themselves and that none of this is ideological on their part they’re just morons as are all of the users. ultimately in a few years most of the people in this subforum will decide they’re no longer into socialism or Stalin or whatever but instead user modified nerf Mavericks again and the mods will ban people in the alternative toy sub forum for liking super soakers instead and calling the nerf maverick users liberals

can we do Dengist. I think I can work with that

quote:

Democratic centralism is the fundamental system of our Party and state; it is a tradition with us as well. Upholding and perfecting this traditional system is of vital significance, bearing on the destiny of our Party and state. Anything contravening this system must be redressed.

Our experience of these past few years has made us recognize our insufficient understanding of the fundamental tenets of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, which resulted in a spate of mistakes. When we become absorbed in day-to-day work to the neglect of study, we can easily get bogged down in the mediocrity of routine and become low-minded. This is a dangerous situation which could lead to political degeneration. We need to create an atmosphere which will encourage study, one conducive to theoretical study. (Mao Zedong's comment: If we busy ourselves with everyday routine and pay no attention to the study of theory, we shall definitely lose our bearings.) Encouraging study in practice is also a part of our Party's work style and one of our Party's fine traditions.

The difference is that people actually liked homework, and more importantly, liked his posts, since they weren't a bunch of twee 'actually the modding is bad on purpose guys, i promise. by the way if you don't agree with me and whatever you say is retarded enough that nobody will immediately make fun of me, you'll be instantly probated'

Probing every 12 hours isn't chain probing. That's a six hour window to "respond to reports". Plenty of time.

Flavius let me do you a favor unlike, apparently, everyone else in your life, and let you know that everyone in this forum hates you. It's not because you're a liberal or a bad moderator, or so stupid that you're never quite sure which end of the corn dog to start on. It's because you're one of those wishy-washy morons who refuses to just accept what you are. Every time you get the slightest push back on anything you do you have to jump through all these hoops to justify when you could just say 'gently caress you dipshit'. But hey thanks for making 20 embarrassing posts in this thread today. It's funny how as soon as you got the slightest pushback you stopped responding. Just gently caress off already, and take your other dipshit IK friends with you.
