Earwicker posted:and this happened 3 times? within one month? the only time ive been remotely dogpiled was when fyad posters kept saying i should post and then an IK would probe me. which in retrospect is very funny. idk that ive ever actually been dogpiled because im generally chill lol. so, agreed - that guy was definitely saying some neolib bullshit and got called on it, or posted in cspam alexandriao fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Feb 4, 2024 |

Count Roland posted:Assuming 'culture war' is a dog whistle might be part of the issue here. The only people I've ever heard say "culture war" went on to follow it up with "cultural marxism" and "straight pride"

mystes posted:I had the same gut reaction to Collateral's use of the word "culture war". But I also don't think that normal people who aren't terminally online broken brain leftist would think that way or immediately jump that to conclusion. That's what makes it a dog whistle lol. It's one of the reasons it's used in right wing rhetoric alexandriao fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Feb 6, 2024 |

mystes posted:I think it's good that you mentioned it because while I'm not saying it necessarily needs to change or anything, it's good for goons to at least be aware that this is how the forums come off to potential new users. Conversely, I knew it was a solid place when I saw a guy go into a normal thread with a politics derail neoliberal whataboutism and immediately get probed for it. Reddit would have entertained them for months. Social media is so *incredibly* tiring when you're a minority lol. For a variety of reasons right wing platforms get a metric shitton of time dedicated to them while the "maybe we dont want to hide or die" gets buried beneath mountains of name calling and psuedoscience, etc. You know the deal. The result is you literally cannot give an inch, because they will take a mile. If you want a place to assign blame, maybe try there first alexandriao fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Feb 6, 2024 |

I have to say the main people that have given me pause on writing anything else in this thread or contributing to it in a meaningful way are the broke brained goons who believe that this internet space should be as lovely and right wing poisoned as the rest of the internet, and that something is wrong with this site for not being actively enshittified by and for money for VCs.

It's like how in IRL political talk when someone says "we need to appeal more to the everyday man!" what they actually mean is their caricature of a cishet white man who is subtly or openly racist and misogynistic, and definitely would not approve of these "unwashed migrants" or "disgusting pervy trannies", when overwhelmingly political polling shows that while the media has shifted right wing, most of the voter base is actually not Like, Reddit exists. If you disagree that these forums hold value maybe you should become a redditor where you can enjoy your dubiously underage pornographic anime girls and quip-based political discourse in peace.

spincube posted:Nobody's brought up "unwashed migrants" or "disgusting pervy trannies" except you, in this post. Why did you bring this up? How does this relate to the thread? those are both taken from the current political climate, lmao. It is an ａｎａｌｏｇｙ
