The arguments would hold much more weight with even like 1-2 examples. So far it sounds like my racist uncle talking about how he's been silenced by political correctness but unable to actually explain when or where this happened.

The situation was a bunch of American's talking about how things were in Haiti and when someone from Haiti came to speak up he was being shouted down for being wrong about the country he grew up in by a bunch of people who had never even been there, that's quite different then the examples being made up here.

It is an issue that there's less current events being discussed in the USCE thread, because plenty's happening. The current practice of encouraging trolls to frame and dominate an issue for several pages has a depressing effect on other participation, and doesn't foster discussion of news sources in context. I'm planning to start adding content to the media literacy thread again in the next week or so; maybe I can rework some of it to help with that.

I think the chat thread spinoff killed some of the USCE thread but this killed the rest, there really isn't much point in participating anymore when you are forced to pretend the same handful of assholes are posting in good faith when they've been trolling D&D for years and openly post about that's what they are doing. I stopped reading USCE for that exact reason and really only keep up with the war thread which stays readable because Cinci is so adamant about keeping the thread talking about the topic at hand. Even if I think sometimes that goes too far like the series of probes about the letter about the Ukraine War that came out of the House Democrats.
