Word Filters proposals:

middle class > lumpenbourgoise
working class > petit proletariat

These terms are massively overused, never used correctly, and usually result in a derail. May as well do something funny with it.

These are [Option] filters, for hiding posts, in addition to the word replacements script. This whole thing is mostly retarded. Let me look at that regex some more.

Adopted your corrected version of the regex.

There was a bug in the previous version with selection not working. This is resolved in the present version. There is also a different set of replacement rules for fun.

I just noticed this nonsense makes keeping threads open impossible. Try having /isg/ open in one tab and notice that after some time new posts just stop appearing, probably because the API is also covered by the captcha

I think they deploy that whenever there's a sharty raid, so give it a few days that'll settle.

People obsessed with their banal AI gens keep posting them outside containment threads and getting mad when people tell them it's not good or off-topic, and they end up derailing threads screeching about proletarianizing artists (shit nobody else brought up). Clearly the containment strategy is not working, so here's a humble proposal: sitewide ban on AI content (make it an ordinance?), because the people posting it cannot control themselves and don't seem to post anything other than AI gens (including the text body of posts) or arguments about AI gens.

Not a fan of AI slop but what a stupid thing to care about.

>or arguments about AI gens
Lol?

>>41085
>>or arguments about AI gens
>Lol?
Yes, they derail discussion by yelling about how AI is superior or progressive in unrelated threads.

why ban the AI when you could explicitly ban the ideology of everybodyisarablibdexpectformeism from the site. As far as I can tell thats what it boils down too is someone who still has the burgerbrain conception of politics as just an exercise in personal branding,self aggradizement an yet more fuel for their main character syndrome. Conservatives have le rugged indvidual and libs having YA novels and harry potter and we get dipshits who think there only true radical left in the entire west with the only correct party line. Its just arrogance and ego posting

that picture of marx made you seethe so hard that you ignored the text in the post it was attached to, derailed USApol and made a garbage strawman OC in the OC thread. You also whined about how the fact that I made a Marx image with an open source AI is somehow bootlicking Sam Altman because apparently even open source shit is owned by him according to you. Just hide images if you don't like them, how hard is that?

>>41086
>Yes, they derail discussion by yelling about how AI is superior or progressive in unrelated threads.
nobody said anything to you about AI until you went out of your way to whine about it first. The same reason you're getting responses in this stupid thread.

Thesis: Anonymity plus free speech is revolutionary because it allows dialectics without ego. It allows people to advance mistaken positions, get corrected by the masses, change their mind, and adopt a new position without a transitional period of shame or remorse.

Antithesis: Anonymity plus free speech is reactionary. It allows mobs of backwards people to swamp young and impressionable minds by advancing simple, easily repeated, bigoted and chauvinist narratives.

Synthesis: Anonymity with a strong well-read ideologically committed modocracy allows dialectics without ego… as long as you ban namefags and get rid of flags.

Flags were the greatest cultural innovation of /leftypol/, although they've now withered and died. They allowed you to flag your ideological tendency (or in the case of someone like British SocDem, to check people are reading the words and not the flag by flagging yourself misleadingly) so people know where you're coming from. An anti-Stalin post is interpreted very differently depending on whether it comes from a SocDem flag, a 4, an Anarchy symbol, or a Stalin mustache, and much more efficiently (in most cases) states the theoretical background of your argument. (Of course, you may state a different set of premises in-text, and someone may ignore them and look only at the flag - but then you know they're lazy and not worth your time.)
When /leftypol/ was at its most culturally vital, people mostly-accurately flagging their tendencies caused people to competitively argue their case. You got a good "team" identity for both your ideology and for the board as a whole, which could be donned or abandoned at will while still basically retaining anonymity. For a board of so-called materialists, you'd think people would understand more clearly that this is the kind of environment that incubates a wildly successful meme like "Made by X gang".

When I do get into debates I try to make little OC's and play as them. This means I don't care if I lose since it's a character I made up losing and not me personally.
I don't know if that counts as a para-ego or what but it's made me a better listener, and better able to figure out why someone of certain material conditions may think a certain way.

This site needs an /x/ board. Honestly, that's kind of what I used most often in both 4chan and in Soyjak.party. I think that a lot of paranormal things can be seen in a leftist lens, and it'd be interesting to see what everyone's perspective is. Plus, i just think it'd be cool. What do you guys think?

Lack of moderation is driving me crazy, look at all this shit.
WTF is going on with our moderation ATM? Just a couple of examples of the utter shit no self-respecting janny would have left up a few years ago:

Most of this is just shit bait by bad-actors sliding or straight up has nothing to do with the left posted by clearly special needs tourists.
I'm making this here because i already beg them to moderate the site there regularly and they will just simply refuse to read /meta/. All i am asking for is the mods to do the job they are here to do and keep the site in a half-decent state, If they are unwilling to do this why are they mods here in the first place? Jannitorial team should not be some power nonsense for your private chats, if you don't want to do the job then leave.

For non-prudential, fully-hinged and dialectically reasonable purposes, I propose we have a sfw siberia and a nsfw siberia, for better facilitation of sillyposting of the sweet and spicy veriety.
- a general hangout for users visiting the site while at work/school that isn't an overboard.
- a place where threads for nsfw topics that aren't popular enough to keep up with the bumprate of /siberia/ but still worth exptensive discussion could last longer.
- we could give the nsfw board a funny name

But can’t do a damned fucking thing about the fascists flooding the fucking site?

Cowardly cunts never hesitate to delete a thread that criticizes your cowardly and lazy conduct, but will happily let overt fascists that don’t even bother to engage in the vile worthless tankie LARP free reign over this site?

Jannies and mods really are pathetic roaches, if the only people you prosecute are actual long time socialists why the FUCK DO YOU PEOPLE EXIST!?

Why is /pol/ypery allowed as long as Russian nationalists do it?
https://archive.is/wSE7M
Atleast half of the rules were broken by Russian nationalists in this thread alone, and go back through this general and it is always like this.
Do we give Russian nationalists leeway for a certain reason, because those posts are indistinguishable from something you would see on 4chan, or do mods approve of thread quality like this?

So, I wrote this as a response to >>>/leftypol/2230222, but I thought, I might as well post is as a general criticism to the whole chan… And so, I guess I'll post it here.

I'm a leftist. I came as a refugee from 4chan. I've been browsing this board, looking for replacement of my favorite boards, and noticed that there are no boards for math, science (hard or social sciences), engineering, history or economics/finance. Let me give you an example of why I think it would be a good idea to have those. It's a rather extreme example, but bear with me.

See the pic? Do you know why the legacy of Chavez failed? It's because they wasted a ton of money on useless crap. What you will hear from many of those venezuelan emigrants (esp. from the middle class ones) is that the Chavez government would give them cash for the most stupid shit, like tourism. They would be given hundreds or even thousands of dollars to travel to other countries. That's basically throwing money away and fucking stupid for a 3rd world country that depends on sale of raw materials. I'd guess those were part of the "social programs" the defenders talk about so much…
His government also gave a ton of "help" in the form of money and resources to other government and people from other countries. Do you think those countries helped them back when things went downhill for Venezuela?
If you don't know some basic math, history, have a sense of basic personal finances and at least some knowledge of technical matters, then how are you supposed to put things in perspective? Let's say you are the president (aka manager) of a country. You have to manage a TON of resources and want to change how things work (a la Chavez or Trump). You start moving money from some areas of your govt. to other areas, and then people complain that you cut a ton of jobs, killed programs that you thought were useless but are actually fundamental to have a basic modern society (like, say, weather forecasting) or whatever. And, since you already sent that money elsewhere, you have no money left, so you have to ask someone to lend money to your government, which means you will have to pay MORE money in the future. See where I am going? This shit repeats even at a domestic level.

Being stupid with money, ignorant of how our current society works, not knowing how hard and context-sensitive technical matters are, and not being able to have some sense of the history of thingPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

marvelous

>>40904
Yeah, that's exactly what I meant to say: you actually have to have a clue on how to manage money, otherwise you end up becoming poorer. It can happen to you. It can happen to your community. It can happen to your country, or even to the world as a whole.
Knowledge of math, economics, history helps avoid bad situations. I'm no expert in any of those, yet I do have some sense of how things need to be done to avoid poverty, at least in my personal finances. And that shit applies to everything. Most solutions to problems in technical matters have to do with management of resources rather than abilit or feasibility.

>>40908
>>40906
Thanks, could be useful.
But I didn't mean /biz/ only in the sense of "world economics", or US economy, or the stock market… I meant in the most general sense.

>>40913
>yet I do have some sense of how things need to be done to avoid poverty, at least in my personal finances.
This will lead you astray. As an example basic Keynesian economics says if you're in a recession you ought to spend more money, even on useless things, and even if it means going into debt, to increase aggregate demand. This is actually the justification for having a cyclically balanced budget, so that when the business cycle is down you can spend loads of money on stimulus, (for example giving everyone a few thousand dollars below a certain means tested threshold) without being badly sunk into debt. If it sounds a little like saving for a rainy day, it sort of is, but this is somehow a completely fringe policy, and there's the important proviso given above, that you're saving to spend extra money when you're running low. And this is just one example.

>>40913
I've been smallbusinessposting in the local biz thread. it's not just stock nonsense

>>40914
>Keynesian economics says if you're in a recession you ought to spend more money, even on useless things, and even if it means going into debt, to increase aggregate demand.
And this is why I say technical matters are hard. This applies to countries and their governments. On the other hand, and going back to the example of Venezuela: why would you, say, give money to people to travel to other countries to estimulate the economy? Most of that money isn't going to companies in your country, it's literally going to another country…

Also, does this apply to individual people? I mean, if you are poor and in a bad economic situation, spendng money on useless things will only make things worse for you. So that logic obviously doesn't happen at all levels.

>>40915
Yeah, I noticed. Still, would be cool to have those discussions in its own board, as I proposed.
