>Who do we support? >A civil war has broken out over the throne of the Kingdom of Gamergate. The claimants to the throne are: <King /gamergate/: <Although the rightful king, he has grown very unpopular as of late, and has the smallest amount of levies.

Perhaps now is the time to press it. <Lord /gamergatehq/: <He has no right to the throne, but he has quite a lot of levies. <Does might make right? Only time will tell… It's self-evident you came here long after this was over, but there was a left stance on Gamergate toward the beginning. Keep in mind that the early stages - the months immediately after the exodus - are not archived. Broadly speaking, 8ch/leftypol/ at that time and for some time after was largely pro-Gamergate (not entirely) and strongly "anti-SJW".

I really wish they were still here so I can learn a thing or two. The anarchists, syndicalists and leftcoms are pretty much completely gone. Now the only diversity of opinion is between Stalin Did Nothing Wrong MLs, MLs who don't buy into Furr-fag Moscow Trials BS, self proclaimed Leninists whose views are effectively close to Trotskyism but they'd never admit it, and a small contingent of Orthodox Marxists (basically pre-1917 Leninists).
>>666335 It was extremely common to have people tell you to kill yourself along with an image with suicide instructions. The most popular one was a fucked up image with a cartoon kid showing how to tie a "neck swing". This added to the board's notoriety but I don't miss them tbh.

>>665823 It was a combination of that and people spewing "le Rojava is an imperialist puppet" combined with B.O's dickheadishness of banning anyone who dared criticise Iran. This wouldn't be the first time that leftypol had a coup due to ideological differences and it wasn't the last.
Of course in doing so, this created leftpol which (to its detriment) allowed free discourse. B.O may have done some incredibly questionable things but banning the nazbols wasn't one of them. Banning discussion on Rojava absolutely was though.
What's ironic is that the very same people who like to dunk on Rojava for engaging in real politik will suck off China for doing the exact same thing. And now owing to the splits, the purges, and coups we find ourselves yearning for a sort of "RETURN TO TRADITION" of old leftypol, before all this horrible stuff occurred.
At least after the fact we see that people who talked shit on Rojava wound up being proven mostly wrong, but the scars are still deep. We've basically traded in discourse for schizos, discussion for buzzwords, and just whine about "le breadtube" and other e-celebs. We're stuck often having the same discussions over and over again. Want to have an ecology/ eco-communist thread?

No nuance, no nobility, no sincerity. The only thing that keeps me coming back is the hope that this site can be better, and I've seen glimpses of it- newsanon for instance. But this experiment of ours was compromised due to a mixture of BO's fuckery, our refusal to adapt with current discourse, and our ever present desire to be contrarian and to "appease the schizos lest we lose the people who visit this community".
Leftypol was good when we were encouraged to funpost. I'd give anything to have that back- to have a leftypol hungergames on the og board instead of /siberia/, to have aheago face threads with
>boss gives you a raise. But the dialectic says otherwise. There is only one direction we can go, and that is forward. But wether it's forward into a ditch or forward to a new elysium of funposting is beyond me.

There is a non-trivial part of the community who expect quality control in /leftypol/, and our /b/ was historically used for 'low quality/idpol leftist' along with off-topic stuff, my point being it became a location for 'politics but not /leftypol/'. So there's been a gentrification of /leftypol/. A character limit to combat raid spam and low effort, instant deletion of idpol and "I am a Nazi AMA" threads that's seen as 'shitting up the board', that kind of stuff. There are people who see /leftypol/ as SRSBSNS and care when the most popular posts are dumb bait.
I say all this as the person who ran the Hunger Games thread. I posted it on /siberia/ as there was no attempt at discussing leftist ideas, and therefore being fluff that overshadows chances at actual discussion, but I think that has come at the expense of the potential for developing actual culture.

I have given up hope that this board will ever become more than it ever was, and I just stay here for the occasional in depth discussion (which, to be fair, is mostly in the read channel of the matrix) and telling rightoids to kill themselves.
