gradenko_2000 posted:Glenn thread basking in the glow of managing to still be better It's kind of amazing how it manages to be the perfect foil for this thread. Even all the morons from the trump thread post there and get told off without any mod/ik intervention. The only probe/ban that I remember is Oliwan telling people to kill themselves.

Mr. Lobe posted:you know what, maybe he won't probate for every use of the r-word, I dunno. But I can promise you this, the r-word will end up being used orders of magnitudes less it's just kind of weird that this flavius guy somehow causes people to use slurs. if they're unhappy with moderation and wanted to act out in protest they could also post goatse or keep calling him a pedophile or something. yet there seems to be something special about the r-word, such that when flavius just probates for use of the r-word you instantly get three pages that look like this one this just seems like the bargaining stage of grief to me. okay, fine, we won't say it, but you have to reward us for it!

gradenko_2000 posted:Huh okay I didn't even know that Mithridates and Calgacus was fake news. My level of familiarity with Roman history is Dan Carlin's series on the Republic and Mike Duncan's History of Rome, so thank you for putting this into context. Yeah it's a great approach to it and vastly preferable to all the traditional history of Rome that takes slumlord nobles at their word about morality and politics. The takedown of Cato's biases is really fun.

It is not the Bolshevik way. Be devoted to the working class, its Party, its state. That is a fine and useful thing. But do not confuse it with devotion to persons, this vain and useless bauble of weak-minded intellectuals.” quote:“The times have passed when leaders were regarded as the only makers of history, while the workers and peasants were not taken into account. The destinies of nations and of states are now determined, not only by leaders, but primarily and mainly by the vast masses of the working people. The workers and the peasants, who without fuss and noise are building factories and mills, constructing mines and railways, building collective farms and state farms, creating all the values of life, feeding and clothing the whole worldt hey are the real heroes and the creators of the new life.” quote:“I am absolutely against the publication of ‘Stories of the Childhood of Stalin’. The book abounds with a mass of inexactitudes of fact, of alterations, of exaggerations and off unmerited praise… the important thing resides it the fact that the book has a tendency to engrave on the minds of Soviet children (and people in general) the personality cult of leaders, of infallible heroes. This is dangerous and detrimental. The theory of ‘heroes’ and the ‘crowd’ is not a Bolshevik, but a Social-Revolutionary theory. I suggest we burn this book”. quote:“the personality cult of leaders, of infallible heroes… is dangerous and detrimental.

fwiw i don't like seeing the r-word itself and it detracts from my enjoyment of threads but when it's safely abstracted into an edgeless short form like "r-word" it can contribute to a light comedic tone and shouldnt be punished but thats just imo

So let me get this straight, your conditions for a thread with only a little bit of ablism (not sure how that's supposed to be acceptable but ok) are for Flavius to leave AND for him to threadban a non-mod poster you don't like? What if another ferrinus shows up? I feel like you're not thinking this through.

Mr. Lobe posted:Yes, let me think of the long and storied history of the r-word being used in the communism thread before FA mr. magooed his way through here. times like, uh FR magooed his way in here by doing a ton of terrible moderation re: china and xinjiang. as far as i know, anyway - idk if he has a history of being really obnoxious in some other c-spam megathread. to his credit he opened up discussion and reversed himself on xinjiang, even though i assume a bunch of people outside c-spam complained about it vociferously because, in their eyes, it was tantamount to mod-sanctioned genocide denial. after that he made some forgettable posts in here, probated i think larry (maybe larry wasn't the first?) over using a slur, and then you got all this nonsense which is to say that the "toxic dynamic" seems to be probating for use of the r-word in the first place. if someone gets probated for using the r-word, and a bunch of other people start saying it or 95% saying it in protest, then those people are actually against their speech being curtailed, not the particular name that pops up in the leper's colony Ferrinus has issued a correction as of 15:58 on May 17, 2021 |

what matters is moderation policy, not specific mods. that's why i don't personally believe you probating people for the same things is going to be received any better, whereas either you or the hated flavius just being cool and letting people say slurs will go down equally well

this actually typifies a particular left-wing deviation pretty well, specifically the anarcho-trot paranoia about Bureaucratism or whatever where the mere fact of someone doing administrative labor inevitably corrupts them beyond recognition and this is why it is simply too dangerous to ever have a state rather than a continuous global insurrection. people confuse the form for the class character
