So this is why there's suddenly so many Reddit-tier takes floating around /leftypol/ recently? Everytime the mods try to bring people here, it's always the worst kind. First the FPMag liberals 3 years ago and now lumpen druggies. Also, there's a Nazi-flagger in /siberia/ that types suspiciously like Th*ngNoticer. Did he get unbanned or something?

>>31317420chan was, like, the second most "left" notable imageboard behind only this one. Even more so than Lainchan which has the occasional stormfag .
The alternative is bringing in people from xitter or reddit. You should honestly be grateful for this lol (I'm personally neutral).
Also they're absolutely not comparable to the VOOOOOOTE BLUUUUUUU socdems from Foreign Policy.

question to mods, i remember back on 420 chan there was this transgender (or something) board (i dont remember the name sorry am drunk right now) ( and therer were some other boards)
can we have an LGBT board of some kind here?

No.31522
>>31521>I'm not trans>I'm repressing plz no. Also maybe cut down on your drinking. drinking during weekdays is a terrible, terrible idea.
And yeah all boards are queer. Communism/socialism/anarchism is inherently queer.
We have a dedicates LGBT thread, it's a bit of a hangout thread but also a theory thread. You can also make threads on Siberia about whatever queer topic you want, or leftypol if you want some theoretical or historic discussion.

>>31539I bet you most poles and those in the baltics are wise to it. Other countries release a lot of reports on it. They are all aware of it on some level. After the 14 euromaidan revolution, Russia really stepped up their global propaganda campaigns and general fuckery in elections all over the place. They are going hard doing all they can to influence the minds and politics of these countries who are supporting Ukraine and have been since 14 which is probably when Putin wanted to invade.
Putin got caught red handed conducting these propaganda operations during the 2016 election. He has been helping Trump and the republicans ever since with various tactics ranging from astroturfing with lots of semi-automated sockpuppet accounts to organizing protests and inciting violence. They even organized some "migrant caravans" using propaganda on people from south of the US border convincing them they would be able to get in. All to influence US politics. They do the same to various levels in other European countries. Obviously Germany is a prime target, but they also hit France, the UK, Netherlands, and of course slavic countries closer to their border and Finland.

Recently they expanded to the US and elsewhere which is why I bring up the Polish as people who would be aware that this is a problem.

>>31542the thing is tho is shit like this isn't just what all Nation-States do its literally what the nation-state is anon. A nation-state first and foremost is monopolized violence used to supress class antagonism. All the grimey shit putin does is basic statecraft that any country that wants to remain a country engages in. Liberals will pretend whatever country they dickride is a magical expection to this but there are none. the point is when it comes to ppl complaining abt Nation-States engaging in militarism and violence and they're not an anarchist I can't really take them seriously since if you believe in the continued existence of the state you are fundamentally fine with political violence and just pretending that your team is somehow magically better than the other ones. A more interesting and practical question is who conducting the state violence and to what ends with what means instead of pretending that some states are peaceful and others aren't. These isn't even too mention how the russiagate bullshit is just some boof ass judeo-bolshlevism conspiracy where le eternal russian is always trying to sabotage and undermine random NATO countries.
>>31546brainwashing as a term was literally invented by the CIA and dipshit journos to coverup the use of biological weapons in the Korean War and cope with US troops defecting to best korea. A big part of the current deluge of western propaganda we get is just convincing people the only way someone could possibly disagree with the status qou is if there a russian bot
