/meta/ - Ruthless criticism of all that exists (in leftypol.org)

>>22482
i think its mostly brits

>>22484
actually they're all faggots

>>22482
like ~99% anglo
more than one petty bourg
~10% anarchist, 40% radlib/socdem, ~50% revisionist
They are mainly reactionary socialists that never got the memo in regards to what proletarian revolution, democratic centralism and the resolution of the tailism v commandism contradiction was about. Whatever made us unique from the NATO-sponsored discourse on Twitter, Reddit, etc. has fallen to the wayside years ago. The rot has set in and the disease is terminal to the supposed organs of our struggle (bureaucratic capital has overtaken the website administration).

>>22491
to insane for me to make a real reply
Question to anyone else: Would I bother with this place if the anglo percentage was that high?

>>22482
They are probably at best American liberal-conservatives who have more of an investment in "dude holodomor, triggered?" memes from Facebook than any actual leftist discourse

>>22498
Trying to identify the point instead of the gay retard posturing (or whatever it's called over text, you get the concept if you aren't cognitively very restricted)

You think the mods are too edgy?

You deleted the Hank Hill meme about not overgrilling meat thread from Siberia? Why? Just to satisfy the vegans?

>>22500

it went to /gulag/ bc the thread turned into shit, its not deleted

>>22501
Turned to shit in what way? It's fucking siberia you fucking retard. Was anything "reactionary?" You're just a retarded easily-triggered vegan.

>>22502
no, it got derailed, see screenshot attached

>>22503
You deleted someone elses thread because I made a joke about furries? Bruh it's fucking siberia. Bruh you fucking retarded furries, I don't know how I'm going to break it to you, nobody is ever going to take you seriously. Just grow a thicker fucking skin.

>>22504
uhh sweaty, furries are the most oppressed group of people. insulting furries is literally a holocaust. just don't do it, chinlet

How was I “denying the Holocaust”? Pointing out that most victims were Slavs and communists rather than actual Jews is common knowledge, as is it common knowledge that Zionists have turned their account of the Holocaust into an industry. Nowhere did I deny that millions died

>>22508
"holocaust industry" is some fucking /pol/shit but I accept the general content of your message was misconstrued, so you are free to go.

>>22509
>"holocaust industry" is some fucking /pol/shit
Do you view everything through an imageboard lense? Do you ever read books?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust_Industry

>>22509
Thank you for having the integrity to admit your mistakes, I’ll be honest I expected you to double down so it’s a pleasant surprise to be proven wrong

Honestly here is the problem with the moderation, and it's not just a problem with the moderation but a problem with the users as well. There is a large portion of the moderation team and sub who just want leftypol to be some fucking weird Russian Nationalist/Tankie circlejerk and absolutely cannot stand anybody having any views that even question theirs. The imageboard is going the same way as most leftist forums, revleft, 8chleftypol, libcom, rSocialism etc where you just end up with everyone walking on glass around some eternal butthurt idpol/tankie clique and mods who ban anyone who doesn't dickride their exact views.
Just look at this thread, everyone screaming over how others should be banned for largely things that just exist in the realm of Socialism when really in the spirit of an imageboard, we should let anyone post if they engage in good faith. I fucking hate Zionists and i absolutely do not want Zionists banned because I enjoy dunking on their asses, yet people instantly run here like children and cry to the powertripping ass mods to ban them. The Ukraine thread is beyond parody at this point where the mods are just straight up deleting any post and banning anyone who is at all critical of anything the Russians do. When the mods here said "create your own Ukraine thread then", when someone did and people had decent neutral discussion, the mods came in, banned everyone and deleted the thread. Apparently having to be a completely uncritical Nationalist cocksucker of White Russia is in the Rules now.
I support the CPC and the PRC is a shining beacon of hope that things can be done differently on a material level. Xi is genuinely a leader of the people and a titan of a Statesman among a sea of intellectual midgets. Guess what. Don't want Taiwanenjoyers banned, I actually enjoy discussing the differences in the systems with them and I hope to find some commonality for the future so one country, two systems can peacefully reunite the Chinese people.
Mods and users, Chill the fuck out. Stop banning people for questioning or going against the bizarre, fringe groupthink of thirdworldist Russian Nationalist weirdos that seem to make up your ranks and stop turning leftypol into another leftist failed community experiment. This community had fucking Richard Wolff here, now people are getting banned for being orthodox Marxists. It sucks.

>>22525
we have no reason to suffer reactionary posters who go on to contribute nothing to the site. if you want to hear the opinions of liberals and rightoids, you should go to their spaces instead. they will treat you with much the same courtesy.

free speech and all that shit is a meme. we're perpetuating the site for the sake of the community, not spooky bullshit about civility or discussions with schizophrenics.

>>22525
if you want to go against board consensus in a shitposting thread, you have to be nuanced and have good argument while not being too inflammatory, while the other users mostly will shit on you and dismiss you
thats just how you prevent the board becoming too liberal/pol

its unfair but that how you keep a population of like minded people (aka "circlejerks"). honestly the exceptional good faith reactoid coming here is usually treated well enough and can give good threads. But posting inflammatory shit like you were in lib space and we had to suffer your stupidity and bad faith is just asking for a quick ban

Can someone explain the context behind this one? (I'm not OP)

Is relative time working weirdly for anyone else? It shows posts that were made 30 minutes-1 hour ago with the tag 'just now'. It started recently, it used to work properly once the page is refreshed but now it stays on just now for quite a while after the posts were made.

Why was my thread moved to gulag? https://leftypol.org/gulag/res/4951.html#4951

Can I get this thread unlocked please >>>/siberia/307170

>>22549
ill move it to siberia if it makes u feel better

>>22550
we dont need another incel-adjacent thread

>>22525
you are so gullible and/or malicious there's no point addressing this

I posted a link to a pro-Russian milblogger which alleged a Russian withdrawal from Izyum (which is now repeated by multiple pro-Russian sources including Rybar picrel), and was subsequently banned for "glow", not sure why but I'd like my bullshit ban removed.

>>22553
probably for being a 1-post ip, there was a decently sized /pol/ raid so we weren't taking chances

I think your ban is lifted, you might have to give your ban number if I unbanned the wrong ip

>>22551
Explain to me how that thread is incel adjacent. Not everything relating to women is incel.

>>22551
>ill move it to siberia if it makes u feel better
thanks :)

>>22557
Understandable, I think it is lifted, thank you.

Range ban the USA plz

>>19116
idk if its been 2 weeks since I said I wouldn't hang around here but I'm not here to moan, can somebody delete the britpol thread I just made, accidently only posted half

>>22560 (me)
Misato, a big part of being a mod is justifying your actions here, especially ones that don't effect explicitly rule-breaking content. If you can't even do this maybe being a janny isn't a good idea for you.

Why was this thread anchored?

>>22568
Incel shit.

>>22567
Hello! I understand your job as a female orgasm surveyor is very important for community discussion and international socialism in general. As such, the thread has been moved back to /siberia/

We appreciate your contributions and hope to help achieve Communism together, one female masturbation inspection at a time!


/leftypol/ Customer Service Team

>>22569
Is incel stuff by itself against the rules or does it count as idpol?(yes)

>>22570
Thank you for your help /leftypol/ customer service team. I have just given you a glowing review on trustpilot to show my appreciation.

I was banned for telling a mod in the Ukraine thread that some of us have dynamic IP addresses after they complained about 1 post IP's. I would like my ban lifted, I think it is ban #10774 (not sure, the reason stated was "true" if that is helpful). I'm getting pretty tired of this, this is now the second time I've been wrongfully banned (see: >>22553 2 days ago) in the Ukraine thread, despite posting here since 2014, and being a news, map and video contributor in the Ukraine thread since before the war began. If the present moderation approach frequently gets regular long-time posters banned, perhaps it deserves reassessment. Thanks.

Yay! Just found out I was banned from Ukraine thread 3 days ago for… DRUMROLL PLEASE! Reposting a doomer pro-Russian source and spitballing that maybe the Siloviks are laying the groundwork to coup Putin. Apparently that's glowops now. Guess I demoralized the board or something. You know, it took me good 10 minutes to remember what I even said 3 days ago because it was so fucking plain and inoffensive.

For that I got 7 day ban. Huh. You know, previously I at least could understand the ban reason because I was obnoxious or derailing, but that was as much on topic as one can be, so I don't even know what is going through your jannoid brains anymore.

Oh wait, just as I was typing this I remembered that I called Wagner group nazies. Well, serves me right for insulting the brave neonazi heroes of the proletariat!

I would like to protest the deleting (well, i cant find it) of that 'post your most conservative/rightoid views' thread, and similar threads in the past.
'Unpopular opinions' threads are certainly on-topic and frequently create engaging and insightful discussions. In fact, I think they epitomize what /leftypol/ is meant to be.
>but it's reactionary!
This is explicitly not against the rules. See Rule 7.

>>22576
>namefag
good

7) Reactionism and liberalism, or any other kind of non-leftist positions are not banned in itself, as we will endeavour to allow and encourage people of other political philosophies to explore leftism through /leftypol/ so long as they follow the rules contained herein. However, non-leftist users are ultimately to be considered ‘guests’ and thus will be removed if they prove a nuisance or disrupt the normal functioning of the site. Low-effort raiders will be banned.Opening posts with liberalism or reactionary topics will be treated with far more scrutiny to prevent them filling the catalog.

>>22577
rule 7
reactionary, unpopular, bigoted, bourgeois and so on opinions are not (if we're being hopeful) what epitomizes leftypol, and there's no reason to cater to that shit. The post was on the same level as "NatSoc, AMA" and "how do you do fellow leftists, please tell me all the horrible cruelties you'll inflict on innocent people - i'll go first". Not gonna tolerate bullshit that just makes leftism worse, and gives anticommunists ammunition, based on anonymous posts. OPs like yours are an easy vector for astroturfing to inspire, normalize, and then prove to outsiders how reactionary communists are. So fuck off and cry to someone else

>>22578
>OPs like yours
Not mine, I didn't find it until like 20 posts in.
>leftism
Stupid non-word. And you have the gall to talk about bad influences taking root.

>gives anticommunists ammunition
You think they give a fuck about this place? /leftypol/ is not serious business.The attempts to gentrify it into purity are misguided and destructive, and merely push it closer into being redundant and sanitized, like /r/socialism.
The opinion that thread opened with may be challenging but it wasn't reactionary, unpopular (within the thread, at least), bigoted nor bourgeois.
I don't know why you decided a board called /leftypol/ was your home if you think it needs to be free of anything entertaining or challenging.

I honestly am getting an impression that you look at /pol/, see them posting fake screencaps, and somehow manage to give a fuck.

[con't]
>The post was on the same level as "NatSoc, AMA" and "how do you do fellow leftists, please tell me all the horrible cruelties you'll inflict on innocent people - i'll go first"
Not even close.
Do you know why the NatSoc AMA threads are deleted? Ban evasion, and prior to that, repeated bad faith arguing. It's not because oh goodness someone got some dumb nazi views on our clean christian board. It's because they were a shitty mentally-ill one-trick pony incapable of interesting conversation, and then a ban evader.
They are not banned because "/pol/". That's not even a valid ban reason in itself. Let me say it again: not being a 'leftist' is EXPLICITLY not against the rules. Not by a loophole, someone went out of their way to say those people are welcome to participate here. That idiot broke other rules. They're a bad faith shilling ban evader.
>and "how do you do fellow leftists, please tell me all the horrible cruelties you'll inflict on innocent people - i'll go first"
No, that's bad faith impersonation (14 a) with a touch of (14 b) and (14 d). The thread that got banned appeared sincere and in good faith, with no attempt at shock value, and not even expressing a value that society at large would see as controversial.

Asking for unpopular opinions isn't like either of those examples. It's providing a place for people who use a designated 'left wing' site to talk about views that might be controversial. It's got a sign on the thread saying that you may encounter those opinions here. And the opinions in the thread at the time of deletion were pretty tame. How is that a problem? Do you think we're all so fucking fragile that some threads will make this board into reactionaries?

>>22574
undone, just as matter of course
>>22579
You know too much. Do you know why it is said reactionaries work against their own interests?
>attempts to […] [gay as fuck internet reference]
No
>Do you think we're all so fucking fragile….
Shitty loaded question. Do better, sweetie. I'll not use any violent language in response to this as the post was moderately respectful.
There are one or two good points in there, maybe.

>>leftypol/1167595
Can you lock this thread pls? It's about a book that does not exist yet in any other language than Japanese and the entire thread is just people making shit up to get mad about.

>>22588 (me)
>>>/leftypol/1167595
Sorry.

Ok, let's see if I'm not banned from "the appropritate channels"

You know you're not winning anyone over transhumanist jannies. You're only making this place look look more like a clown forum to 99% of the population,.

I'll make my post again. Can we just ban all threads discussing LGBT or trans issues because it's clear that the jannies will only allow circle jerk posts. They don't want a discussion so why have the thread in the first place?(one can very well have a discussion without reactionary garbage people, in fact it enhances the discussion)

>>22596
>>22596
>(one can very well have a discussion without reactionary garbage people, in fact it enhances the discussion)
Butthurt transhumanist janny, you're only showing your hand more by showing off your blue text powers instead of just making a regular reply with a mod tag.(lmfao)

>>22597
Lol all you want. Only libs that 99% of this board hate are impressed with your pathetic shows of authority.(what do you know of the board? nothing)
