ITT retrieve old and currently-missing /leftypol/ flags that would be good to add back.

I found the Technocrat and snibetti snab flags. I know the Anarcho-Transhumanism flag is missing and I want to find it and have it added back if possible (t. anarcho transhumanist anon). Pics related

P.S. the "Athiesm" flag is misspelled, it's spelled Atheism.

Can the weed flag be enabled on all boards? I like using it but it's only been available on siberia…

Holy fucking shit its slow.

>>33189
no anon, you don't understand: it's quality over quantity, can't you feel the extra effort that goes into every reply now that threads are slow enough for people to think before posting? PPH isn't important, it's like Stalin said: better fewer, but better!
yes, i'm joking. yes, the bit where I misattribute a lenin quote to stalin is part of the joke.

>>32425
> putting an end to the early era where a good chunk of the userbase had diverse ideologies and - more importantly - wore ideology flags. Using flags in that way was both a great way to stimulate ideological discussion and provide context for a given post, and also a novel way of using imageboards
the culture's too toxic now for that to work. if you say anything controversial with a flag, it will begin to damn all future posters of that flag. people will construct narratives about the kind of fucked up or embarrassing things certain flagposters say. it's the somewhat fuzzier equivalent of redditors digging through your comment history when you posted something they didn't like.

>>33192
> if you say anything controversial with a flag, it will begin to damn all future posters of that flag.
There's people who will start fights over totally innocuous things based on flags, and often based on assumptions about what someone's ideology is even when there's no flags involved.



 

You can't tell me, all this is made by "volunteers". We know projects like Linux or Wikipedia are backed by multimillion dollar corpos. So who is financing this site here?

we shld not be attackin OP, OP has good intentions and these are clear from their replies, it is right for them to b always suspicious. if they started to point fingers at mods in particular, shittin on Zankaria, etc. then we'd hve a problem but this is not their intention.

>You can't tell me, all this is made by "volunteers".
I have a confession to make: it's Putin. This entire website is funded and ran by the Internet Research Agency in Russia with the goal of destroying NATO, Israel and the USA. I remember the big office party we had when we won the meme wars and made Hillary lose to Trump. Nothing is going to stop what's coming.

There is no organization going on on leftypol. In truth, there is only an ongoing process of atomization. Every day our numbers dwindle and our site loses users. The fact that we are so unwilling to recognize leftypol, not as a silly hangout spot, but as a military base surrounded by enemies on all sides, is probably why glowies even keep this website from going offline completely. We're an utterly worthless leftist organization. What is all the philosophy for if all of it is stupid edrama bullshit and attempts to explain an outside world we never explore ourselves? How exactly can leftypol have any purpose in this world if we don't convert people, or seek out comrades to befriend in person, or find leftist communities we can ally ourselves with, not that there are many of those. Why can't we have raids into other online spaces, or form communities on other websites that represent our interests as online leftists? Even twitteroid leftists do more activism online. Not to mention that there's a decrepit atmosphere of paranoia and existential dread, as well as everyone on leftypol being a piece of shit fossil who denounces porn addiction and criticizes everyone who actually makes an attempt to post something interesting for once. We practically do the glowies' work for them. If 4chan can organize real life attempts to steal a flag from shia labeouf's private residence then why cant we, i dunno, form cliques and networks of people willing to actually do shit? I wanted comrades from this place and all ive ever gotten were parasocial relationships with people who only share philosophy and poke and prod at anybody who suggests doing anything at all without giving anything in return. Fuck the air of critique here. Why cant you people propose projects? What's wrong with a 5 year plan? This is why the third world is the only hope of progress in the world. You firsties all gave an internet connnection and pretend to be "socialists" but you are the most antisocial people that could have ever pretended to be "comrades". This place is designed to lull leftists into a false sense of security and community. Wake up. Start organizing on a regional basis and stop focusing on the internet. You wont find any cameraderie online and your online comrades are pure fiction. Go outside.

Appreciate the viddump comrade, did you just have these saved or is there somewhere they're all available?

>>33112
I just had them saved. It's part of my leftypol collection from way back then.

>>33113
Cool, thanks.
btw, not sure if you've used leftybooru before, and it's probably about to migrate to a new software soon which will make uploading easier, but its a great resource for sharing and tagging /leftypol/ images.

The ukraine war broke this place's mind and a bunch of the userbase got alienated by duginist tryhards and left

>Muh Dugin!!!
Oh do stop making shit up just because you're ass-mad that the majority of users did not agree with bothsideist sewage spilled out by ideologues. This shit about "le duginites" is literally the baseless narrative Western MSM claimed, about how Dugin was the ideological adviser for Putin or some shit and how he was the one directing Russian policy. The number of Duginists on this site was never high, not even in the Ukraine thread
>It's Slooow
The current thread is slow because not a lot of major new shit is happening, people discuss shit just fine, they're just not buying into bad-faith garbage attempting middle-of-the-road idealism that glowies encourage.

Jannies persecuting TOR users for personal reasons again.
The claim to turn it off this time is so called 'low quality posting from the onion' despite the facts that most tor posting is simply various anons posting news in the Palestine threads and that most tor posts are better than your average clearnet post.
Attached are the top 3 threads in /leftypol/. This is clear evidence removing the .onion has nothing to do with 'post quality', with all of the tor posts being better quality than these 3 threads, and is personally about jannies feelings.

fggdfhdfh

I take it that you haven't seen the thread sliding TOR spammer?

>>32923
The tor spammer literally nuked the /prc/ thread. hundreds of posts got deleted. The "Turn off " of the tor Is only temporarily, until the situation gets resolved.

>>32925
Wow if only there were some way to not let spammers delete hundreds of posts in threads

Oh my god I don't care



 

Hi i just found this site and im new to imageboards overall, too. I just have a few questions

1. How many anarchists are there? And which type of anarchists are typical? Like, what is the ratio between statist and libertarian left here?

2. Why Tor users are not allowed to post? You even have an .onion site, no? How people post there? Tor is required to access those links

3. How are genocides committed by the left (Hol0domor, Great Leap Forward, 1956 Hungary, under russian civil war, etc…) viewed here? Are they denied, or did they deserve it, or it was a necassary evil, or it was an unnecessary bloodshed and they were mostly innocent? (Gotta be honest, i belive in the last)

>One of the main features of images boards is anononymity.
Yes, but the staff has already decided the site don't care about that lol.
>Also the system doesn't know who is a mod if they don't login.
And that's fine.

>>32205
>literally posting with bauldrillard in the photo to show how polballs are stupid bullshit (like anarchism lmao)
show me youre a poser without saying it

>>32340
so you literally want mods to mod tag any post they made even when not related to mod matters? I'm sure the users would love that.

>>32912
Yes it's a stupid suggestion.
>mods should attention-whore outside of /meta/
No thanks!

>>32912
Ideally mods would be actual members of the community they moderate and make normal posts without any identification or while logged in as a mod. That way they're not getting into arguments with people who are supposed to be anonymous and making replies to try to continue those arguments in other unrelated threads. For a purely hypothetical example.



 

Let's face it; leftypol and all other side boards have become more retarded ever since the theoryposters were given the ability to seclude themselves in their little book club of a board. They don't crosspost and they don't debunk jack shit because they're too busy circlejerking eachother on /edu/ to give a fuck. This is clearly one of the biggest problems with the website. Although i used to believe that /edu/ should be left alone as a repository of information, a digital library for people on leftypol.org to view once in a while to read things, while promoting crossposting using the overboard feature, the jannies have no willpower to overhaul the site. Instead i say it's time to break an egg to make an omelette by forcing /edu/ out of their little gooncave so that everybody else can be forced to get browbeaten by theoryposters. For the purposes of this thread ill admit im a theorylet myself, but if you're an /edu/ poster youre just as useless as i am theoretically if you dont DEBOONK. It's time to crack the whip on these uyghurs

I don't care if they're dead or not, the thread discussions there are different enough compared to other boards.

>>32741
Are you familiar with the psychology term 'projection'?

File: 1714206796314.jpg (10.9 KB, 474x282, sleepy.jpg)

>>32757
Am I familiar with it? Why, I think I invented it

>>32757
i dont think you know what either neurosis or projection mean cuz your post doesnt make sense. im being neurotic for telling you to stop throwing up your arms about sex? what?

nobody thinks about sex more than religious conservatives who hate themselves for being human and having those desires. and im not even a sexpositive person

>>32776
No-one's complaining about sex.

Bug:
the purple suggestion for the onion link alternative
http://76i2c3hn55fcj5nut3tqlboqqbbh23zvphv7lefk3vftpx6wketlanyd.onion/
no longer shows up when you visit leftypol.org, yet it seems accessible as normal again, as it shows up when you click a .mp4 link specifically and only then
