it's so loving funny that these morons will fight harder for meaningless symbolism than our 'allies' will for basic human dignity issues. Tammy Duckworth's willing to scuttle her own party's president's agenda just to get a loving Asian bomb-dropper so she can trick other Asian kids into getting blown up like her but the loving squad couldn't mildly inconvenience Pelosi.

Here's the post that started this whole thing


Moose PM'd me immediately afterwards and we had what I felt was a productive conversation about it (and they are welcome to chime in if they want to confirm that or disagree with how it went from their perspective). I explained to them that my feeling was that it wasn't wrong to call the camps "concentration camps" (and that I understand what the definition is and that it's not exclusive to Nazi Germany but it's usually the first thing most people equated it with when they heard the term) but the whole strikethrough text left a pretty sour taste in my mouth and I wasn't a fan of people using that terminology in that manner because it usually led to really stupid derails and slapfights and was crass to boot. Had he not done the strikethrough thing, none of this would have likely come to pass.

The Steve and I then discussed this in the IK/Mod conspiracy and we both agreed (along with other mods/IKs who chimed in later and for the most part, agreed with what we discussed) that while the term can be appropriately used when discussing this issue, it was seemingly being used by some posters as one neat trick to own their posting enemies and shout into the void rather than have a discussion about how terrible and awful the camps are and leading to really stupid derails. We thought Internment Camps would be an adequate compromise since A)You immediately equate it with America having an awful history with this kind of stuff and B)It's a pretty good example that just because a President has a (D) next to their name, that doesn't mean they won't pull some heinous and awful poo poo.

And that clearly didn't work out as we intended.

Majorian then clarifies quite well in the Immigration thread what our stance was after numerous people were probed for Kramering into USPOL and the immigration thread just to stir poo poo


And after that, the issue went away for the most part as people in the immigration thread stopped using the term as a cudgel and USPOL moved on to other topics.

95% of the time when this stuff happens, most of the posters in the thread move on from it and are able to discuss the topic of the day without issue. But then you get a subset of posters who insist on using that one phrase or word, be it Concentration Camp, Democrat Party, or Girlboss. Not because they want to have an actual debate or discussion about the topic, but because they want to derail the thread or rile up other posters. And it gets old, real loving quick. So when people do the "hahaha, I didn't actually say it, I just kinda did. What do now, mods? :smug:" we're pretty comfortable in probating that poster because it's usually indicative that they didn't want to contribute in a meaningful way and just wanted to poo poo things up instead.

whatever pushback exists regarding Biden not being able to directly change the postmaster general ignores the fact that the dems control the senate, house, and the presidency and can pass any law they want.

firing the postmaster general is illegal? ok, make it legal then???
