idk that i encountered a hillman ever, but ron paulers can at least point to legal weed as a benefit to ron pauling, but stanning hillary is completely unjustifiable ergo hillmen are worse

Ron paulers were harmless dorks who now have large Funko pop collections and live in bunkers in new Hampshire, hillmen now either work for bellingcat or still post in the COVID thread

Please god, no.

The Ron Paulers were only really obnoxious in environments they controlled, where you couldn't just call them loving morons who had no idea how anything worked. They werent actually unpleasant to deal with in LF/Helldump, where they served the function of being the politics discourse version of the noob orcs directly outside the starting city in an MMO.

Hillshills are irredeemable.

Ron Paul never started any wars.

Yeah, actually, gamers in the house forever,
Ron Paul would have done at least as much as Bernie Sanders to harm the MIC and he would have been disastrous for America at home so he was unironically the best mainstream party candidate for President in...i dunno maybe American history?

I don’t remember if anyone in LF toxxed for Ron Paul but if they did I’m sure they accepted their fate unlike the Hillmen who iirc threatened suicide to weasel out of paying $10.

I still find it funny how Ron Paul based on his political style, state, look, and name alone is an echo of Ross Perot

idk but one of the big arguments was that it would be suicidal for the forum because people just wouldn’t come back. gee maybe you should have thought of that before allowing tox.

oh no the site is critically reliant on support from these guys and will vanish.

I think using toxxes for predictions was stupid, but getting rid of them all together was stupider.

it's funny if it's incredibly specific or involves some ostentatious feat being performed by the toxxer. or if it sparks mod challenge

i liked the toxx where a guy (a mod?) said he'd eat his hat. and then he made a hat out of fruit, the clever bastard.

Oh ok I was wrong. Looks like the mods at the time were too lazy to go thorough the threadworried about losing a bunch of users so they came up with a stupid compromise.

CSPAM Rules are clear that toxxes aren’t gone as you’re still allowed to toxx yourself. It’s a little something called rational egotism.
