"containment threads dont work" is a psyop to keep up the containment threads

Also, suggesting people just go to the CSPAM thread was pretty insulting. A good comparison would be closing down a feminist forum and telling everyone to just go post in the incel forum, cause it's all about women anyway

I enjoy shitposting and (attempting) to make funny puns about Russia's incompetence.

Now I'm told to take it to C-SPAM. They have four threads on the main page with a "Marxism" label. Like 50% of the posters have a Bernie Sanders AV. I had multiple of their ilk PM me over the years to say I need the guillotine because I own too much property.

Am I loving crazy to not feel welcome there? I don't know if the C-Spam userbase is genuinely evil, because I can't tell if they're USA-hating communists (evil, obviously), or if it's all just an aesthetic cosplay (misguided, I'll say charitably). In either case, I don't think I want to have anything to do with them when there was already a place I could post without incident.

the only possible, semi-defensible reason for this extremely bizarre post is that in the old thread, god knows how long ago, i posted an excerpt from a paper about the zenz-tier methodology of the "Red Army raped millions" narrative, which made it onto that twitter lol

at the very least that account was important to him

russiagate broke so many brains. I’m convinced most of the bloodlust psycho jingoistic frenzy is retribution over russiagate hoax

i also think a lot of libs got their brain broke when putin started making GBS threads on obama's syria red lines. that's when anecdotally he seemed to go from "shirt off meme guy" to "existential enemy"

absolutely demented posts about cspam in that ukraine thread in sad, keep it open forever

it is pretty wild that both subs have observed ultra-strict firewalls against posting about each other for like 4+ months, and somehow the gbs thread getting shuttered results in a SAD thread that is still 80% posts about how much people hate cspam. not even just the cspam war thread, but cspam in general. just the concept of it

the funniest part is that they don't seem to realize that they are working against their own case here. the content in that thread being absolutely gut churningly disgusting wasn't even the only reason the admins stated that they closed it. it was also because it made people so irrationally mad about other posters. getting your thread closed and making the feedback thread all about how the evil communists psyoped it is just building the case HK made for closing it.

e: for all the lurkers hate reading this thread, please take this as genuine advice for you on how to get your thread back, not me "lolling at you" or whatever. just don't make your every waking thought and post about how everyone you disagree with politically is a putin asset and absolutely morally evil.

it's a weird thing to see, because when no-one is getting mad at the thread, there is no joke and you can make a good case for gassing it. so in a way they are keeping it alive by flipping out about it constantly

it is neat watching some people realize that cspam isn't some perfidious tankie boogeyman that gets to live rent-free in their heads 24/7 :3:

yeah, it's hard to stay committed when you come into a thread expecting to brutally own a bunch of caricatures you made up, and instead just find a bunch of nerds talking about history. all the real psychos that live down to their expectations got purged last year anyways.

whats going on with goons today

i think i might have prematurely misjudged this whole SAD thing.

the time-boxed nature of the threads being opened actually distills the entertainment into its purest form. like black friday going out of business sale on goon drama. people feel like they have to get their posts in so they just go all in and all out

e: like the psychology of it was modeled around making people insane. you dont exactly know when the threads will open or when they will close again. its wild
