look, literally all the dnd mods are burned out or well on their way or literally haven't posted in dnd in months. let's structure things though where the only possible way that trolls can be dealt with is by a burned out mod remembering to look at the report queue 1-2 days later what could go wrong or, yknow, people could just not be probated for calling out obvious trolling (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

HonorableTB posted:I think everyone should read Kim Stanley Robinson's "Ministry for the Future". That book starts with a heat wave supercharged by climate change in the near future (like 2035) that kills something like 40 million Indians and it goes from there. Strongly featured is ecoterrorism to push the West into actually doing something about climate change and funnily enough nothing substantial happens until the UN's Ministry for the Future orders their black ops wing to assassinate fossil fuel executives and billionaires by blowing up their planes simultaneously because they were going to keep humanity locked onto fossil fuels. Obama said it was one of his favorite books of 2020 which is hilarious given he was more or less directly called out in that book for pursuing ineffectual and weak half-measures based on neoliberalism +1 The heat wave part of that book was scary as gently caress to read.

When was the last time that person even posted in this thread? I legit don't remember if they were officially forum/threadbanned, I asked a Real Mod to check into it when they were available, but I don't think I've seen a post of theirs here for a couple weeks now, so that sounds like a threadban to me.

the_steve posted:When was the last time that person even posted in this thread? If I'm wrong on the details I'll gladly change my opinion. It just seemed extremely silly to even have the poll to begin with. I'm sure being a mod for this thread and or subform is a thankless, stressful job. And I think historically the mods have done a good job overall. But when someone openly admits that they are violating the spirit of the entire subform by purposefully antagonizing others who are generally interested in good faith debate, that should be the easiest layup imaginable for the mods to make a big example of that person. It seems like the thread has really gone downhill since that happened, so hopefully it's a good lesson to nip that stuff in the bud and not let it run rampant. It very much leads to a culture of talking past one another and always assuming the worst about other people's intentions.

Sir John Falstaff posted:Kind of wish people would stop saying that a news outlet publishing an opinion article is equivalent to that news outlet endorsing whatever is in that article. Eh, potato/po-tah-toe. Their review/oversight of the editorials mean that they consider it within the realm of discussion which means something. Acting like papers have no control over the op-eds that they run is equally iffy. I guess except for the dumb cases where papers let unmonitored people just post blog equivalents with the name of the paper.

Sir John Falstaff posted:Kind of wish people would stop saying that a news outlet publishing an opinion article is equivalent to that news outlet endorsing whatever is in that article. It is kind of an endorsement inasmuch as consent is manufactured by artificial limits on what can be discussed by punditry in major outlets. Liz Bruenig’s ascent as a mainstream socialist voice is another example of the boundaries being pushed. If you can’t discuss a topic in any major outlet, then those outlets are definitely endorsing the censorship of that topic, in the sense that a lot of what is considered acceptable discourse is whatever the NYT op-ed page would print.

No, mentioned it before but plenty of Republicans' actual ads tout the good spending that they approved and good things that they funded. Saw plenty of ads about PPP and medical research funding. The vast majority of races don't have purestrain crazy in the ads that the average voter sees.

Yes this is why you still see super low approval for congress and approval for their own congressperson. I vote for the person who tells me all the good things they are doing, it's everyone else who sucks.

American conservatism is about drowning anyone who isn't a rich white man in a well. American moderates are about giving those people in the well some snorkels. There is a subtle difference.
