I'll check out the thread, but in general I have been a bit wary of D&D. We'll see, but if the stuff I have been translating would give a fresh or interesting perspective to the discussions there, I might very well do it!

Haven't read the DnD thread but I can vouch for the GIP one being cool and decently malleable. Might be a better fit if you find the DND one too restrictive.

The tactical breakdown of that combat footage of the 2 Ukranian defenders in that trench a little while back was extremely interesting in that thread:

I'm really sorry, your avatar is giving me a boner and while that is perfectly OK and I don't want to kink shame anyone, its making me feel really weird getting a boner in a Trump thread.

Sincerely,

the most important reason for the GBS thread was apparantly because, in part, a belief that other parts of the forum were genuinely evil. i think this points to a worse problem and i recommend closing down GBS so that each poster can go to their respective ideological sub forum.

For what it's worth, GIP is welcoming of the GBS posters as well so you can post your stuff there if you don't feel comfortable with posting in the D&D thread.

D&D is absolutely fine for effort posting, nobody will hit you for that, the articles you were posting are actually exactly in their wheelhouse.

Yeah but I do prefer the freedom to call Putin a real shithead now and then, without any bigger context so. I'll check out both and see how they work.

Yes, the big contentious issue of whether the attack, destruction and plundering of Ukraine is good or bad. Some people say it's bad and Russia need to gently caress off and some people say "No, ALL lives matter🤗🤗🤗". Who's to say who's right?

Now, when you put it like that!

Ok here, why is an even more pantshitting bullshit forum full of morons like exmarx recommended as the alternative. Which is also the forum that
- posts about sending people to gulags
- has doxxed goons for being pro Ukraine
- has an open thread dedicated to mocking holodomor
- has a known history of endorsing political violence and making jokes about genocides, purges etc in general
- is in general bloodthirsty, blackpilled, conspirationalist, racist, home to the most toxic radicalised idiots on the whole of the internet

The idea that the GBS thread was uniquely bad and that CSPAM is a general purpose politics shitposting space are both obviously a lie

Additionally, and in abstract, just because some place is designated as the place to talk about politics, doesn't mean it's actually a better place to talk about politics.

You have got to be loving joking. And this after the Americans and Europeans who oversaw the distribution of both the lethal and non-lethal aid swore up and down that there were no concerns or problems with how the aid was being distributed. Even an american Brigadier general involved in the process said as much, I believe.

My favourite was "the kulaks are again burning their crops rather than selling them, to hold the world hostage, Russia didn't kill enough of them the last time around", in response to Ukraine's troubles to harvest and export their grain, due to Russia blockading the grain terminals and the countryside being engulfed in war.

Let me guess, according to them it wasn't the Russians deliberately firing grads and incendiaries at wheat fields, looting and/or destroying granaries with their troops or weapons, and stealing all the grain earmarked for export from Mariupol and Berdiansk? Purely a coincidence that when Putler made his big war anniversary address, he boasted about a "national record of stolen harvested wheat" right? I swear to god, I don't want to think about the thought process that leads any individual to such disgusting, hateful views.

Tankies have somewhat of a dislike against eastern Europeans because they often put the Soviet occupation into a negative light and voice their dislike of the Russian government. I don't think you can equate that to racism though.

Also, terminally US brained tankies have a very poor grasp of how the rest of the world works and don't realize that racism against white people does actually exist in European society and eastern Europeans and especially Roma do experience it, so the idea is very funny to them, but only to them.

But have you considered it might be the fault of Galician Nationalists that Russia decided to start this useless war in the first place? Don't ask me about it though, I have no idea about this CSPAM theory and I really don't want to look into it myself. I might run into something similar to how the occupation of Tibet was for its own good.

Sounds like a good demonstration! It would have been interesting to see the photos and maybe others could have shared photos from their respective demonstrations that were organized all across Europe, but what can we do? :sigh:

I'm a lurker and have lurked since the early years well before i had an account. The admins dumbshittery on this has been weird. The forums most front facing forum cant have a thread to discuss a current, vitally important issue because its the pants making GBS threads forum but the people constantly pants making GBS threads in it are from elsewhere and instead of telling them to stay out if it displeases them they go along with them. The other forum section pant shitters have run mods out of that thread but no,its gbs that's the issue. Meanwhile threads with genocide denial and racist epithets like kulak and kokhol are all good.
