So what is the steak of the forums?

quote:

I am disappointed by the closure. The thread was a source of detailed roundups and had posters who would aggregate deeper analysis. But outside of the informational value, it was a place to gather for people to vent. This is necessary because the intergenerational trauma of war is still very much alive in Europe. All my family members who had witnessed or participated in the last big war had nightmares of it until their dying breaths, and they passed echoes of that on to the next generations. To a bunch of middle class American tankies they, millions of others, and now the Ukrainians, are just a bunch of lol cows.

Yes there were dumb posters in the GBS thread. Fine. They were told to turn it down, and they did. For a very long time, the threads in CSPAM read like /pol/, 8chan, and similar boards. There is so much glee at lives being snuffed out senselessly. The impression that I have is that some self-ascribed 'leftists' over there see this conflict as their once-in-a-life opportunity to take it out on what they perceive as a racially inferior group. They have been cheering this on.

The behaviour of CSPAM. and the fact that SA administration repeatedly stands with that group is disturbing. It puts to rest the illusion that there is anything more than performative support for persecuted groups in leftist spaces. This time it's the Ukrainians. Next time it might be you.

hits keep on coming

In my humble opinion, getting the thread shut down (even requesting it to be "gassed") is, quite literally, defending russia. Maybe not the prescribed intent, but as many posters have said, in this incredible hosed up world and situation, the thread was a way of coping with the insanity.
