I don't think a particular thread really needs to be lenient on a particular kind of problematic or self-destructive post to be a containment zone, people are unlikely to branch out of their bookmarks so they tend to contain themselves.

tell astral to get rid of twitter embeds and probably 2/3rds of the mock thread issues will disappear the barrier to copy/paste a url is too low compared to taking a screenshot and uploading

Idk, I don’t think the thread is hurting anything the way it is but it’s, well, Fail. In my opinion.

I'm not in the US so I don't really have to worry about meeting these idiots in the real world (most of the time) but if I was trying to laugh at dumb politics I'd find it very hard if I was constantly bombarded by nonsense from Irish Freedom Party/Brexiteers/DUP or whatever.

a lot of people just aren't into politics all that much so they don't really realize how droll that poo poo gets after a while, like no I do not need to see ben shapiro's opinion about barbie. of course I already know what it's going to be, so did he before he saw the movie, if he even actually watched it. it's not new, interesting or entertaining. yeah, some rear end in a top hat is saying some dumb poo poo to get people to respond to it and share it and comment on it getting all mad. ho hum. who cares.

Because its funny to laugh at how insane the right wing are? People aren't linking like "guns 4 jesus provides evidence that christ would of shot Pontius Pilate if only he had a gun" rightwing scare stories because they agree with them, its becsuse its funny to laugh at the ridiculous claims and premises the nutters lay out.

Literally A Person posted:Politics is literally the stupidest poo poo in the universe. Anyone who reads or posts about that poo poo needs like serious brain help. Like a team of shrinks. I like you, buddy - but sometimes there is no escaping it. Not everyone can just ignore it because that would be a stupid, irresponsible and dangerous thing to do. I mean, I seen my dad being taken away for weeks at time to be interrogated by the police simply for the crime of being a successful catholic buisinessman in N. Ireland. And there are people on these forums who grew up in far more dangerous places than I did - Ukraine being the most obvious example.

Some threads - perhaps even most threads - don't have to be about their subject's tangential connection to a front of the "culture war" or dropping sick burns on chuds that they'll never read. It's ok. The forums can survive if you don't post a tweet from Ben Shapiro in a Warhammer thread because "Lol, he's mad the minis are bigger than him" or a Prager U video in a thread about the best condiments for hot dogs.

And there are people on these forums who grew up in far more dangerous places than I did - Ukraine being the most obvious example. yeah but nothing of any value is gained by paying attention to interaction-farming dipshit reactionaries who literally sit around thinking of what take they can post to get people to respond, like, comment, etc. they are not real people, they do not have real opinions, they don't believe what they're saying and at most, posts from such people should be quarantined to their own thread if people really want to talk about them there's a difference between ignoring politics and ignoring people like ben shapiro or random 5k follower twitter accounts with hot takes, and I don't mean just rightwing accounts either. leftist or centrist 'influencers' do the same poo poo and are exactly as worthless

Perhaps we need a "laugh at hot takes / chuds / "influencers"" megathread and banish all that stuff there and then leave the big wet orange president thread for discussing trump? Clearly some people find it funny so "BAN IT!!!!" seems like an overeach.

I don't read those threads so I guess I wouldn't know, but I thought we did have threads for this? like rightwing media / CUM warriors or whatever?
