I get sad over it too. It was one of the few things that gave people hope. Those years feel like myth now. We're back in a multi polar world and it looks worse than ever. You could at least have had hope then. One of the greatest experiments that really had been.

Maybe I just wanted an excuse to post these pictures

We do now.
I've been reading this book on media regulation, Governing Babel. What do you guys think of social media moderation? What's acceptable and what isn't? Where's the crossover point from moderation to censorship?

>>159448
I can give you my personal thoughts on this.

At the bottom, of course you have obvious spam, advertisements, illegal content. Basic moderation is removing all of that, and it's usually 100% clear.

Then you have AI generated slop, botposts, basically anything automated designed to look like real posts. These are annoying but might have a pattern.

(spam is easier to deal with on sites that have accounts btw)

Anything from here on out is posted by a human and basically people have to engage with the post if they want to decide to report it, or in the case of moderators choose to delete or keep it. This is basically where it gets political, when mods have to actually consider the content of the post.

Was that person really a nazi or just asking questions? It's hard to tell good faith posts from bad ones, and it's not clear whether or not to keep bad faith posts: for example if a 14 year old edgelord posts something dumb about race, could this be an opportunity to educate people? If not the OP then other people that might see it?

Is socialists censoring pro-capitalist liberal rhetoric a good thing? I mean feds will quickly try to hijack any discourse, but if they aren't feds then explaining is probably better than censoring. It gets difficult here.

I might get flak for this but I find it very suspicious when I run into posts like this one made on lemmygrad about the ACP:

https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9946493
>They are Nazis who use the USSR as an aesthetic branding.
>[They] express support for nationalist and reactionary stances

This kind of drive-by slander is weird considering there are probably valid criticism of them that could lead to a productive discussion.

But like the claim that they aren't leftists makes me think the people saying this aren't leftists.

And comments seem to think that their rigid ideas of what the left is, is the only valid interpretation of Marxism.

So is this liberals misunderstanding dialectics and shooting left, or is this something more coordinated? Because I've seen in the random corners of the internet, and on tiktok, random comments saying similar things about how the ACP are reactionaries and nazis and refusing to elaborate.

Isn't it a material reality that a huge part of the proletariat in America is conservative? I don't even mean to stan the ACP much, but it is my personal opinion is that any messaging that might challenge the ruling class directly, in some way, that has a disproportionate reaction to it (be it to cancel it, slander it, accuse it of sexual offenses, being nazis, being russian bots you name it) might be worth paying more attention to it. Because for sure the ruling class will try to make people believe certain things are irrelevant to our interests when they aren't, and I think a clever left might jump on such things and amplify it to spread our own propaganda.

here's another example from tiktok, it's bizzare

It's a bit anthropocentric. While solophism is a valid logical conclusion the termonology "weight" is a bit nebulous. The truth is that regardless of how you feel the mass of a specific rock is always going to b X regardless of the subjective interpretations of opposing parties.

This is a garbage rationalization for solipsism. The weight is measurable.

Do a bunch of acid. Do enough that you have undeniable hallucinations, but not enough that they're completely totalizing - you should see manifestations, mandalas, etc. but still be able to tell what room you're in. Depending on your weight and drug habits, 3 hits should do it - 2 could do it even. Dosage of tabs varies wildly, though, so do research - Psychonaut, Erowid, etc. can help. Put on black metal or The Cure or Xenomorph or something like that. THEN formulate an argument for the reality of subjective experience, and factor death into it too. Weight is not subjective, your current argument is bad.

bump for this genius philosophy

Like the other feller said, a rock can be weighted.
You can do better than that. You could mention how our life experiences and what we're exposed to affect how we see the world in subtle ways, like how you interpret events and perhaps even omens if you're into that.

The bourgeoisie made up this shit to fuck with me

A good portion of early socialists and communists supported the regulation of immigration.

>>159431
Imagine thinking this. Fuck off reactionary

>>159432
Hold on, how are you even supposed to deal with unregulated immigration in a country? You can't just let people in and put them in ghettos.

>New Africa
How fucking retarded are you?
Learn to differentiate between fringe hypotheticals and actual things, firstly. Secondly, "New Africa" has way less to do with anything Jamaica wants than it has to do with the heavy black population in the southern US, a result of the slave trade. The call is a minority of a minority call, and it's coming from inside the house. Not only does it have zero bearing on anything, it is an appeal for self-determination by people who were stolen from their home countries and brought to North America at the same time as the most European colonists came. By the way, that's also why those Caribbean islands are so black , you fucking dumbass. And even now, the US completely dominates the Caribbean - the US abducted Haiti's president last year! The US is bombing random boats right now! And you think people aren't giving Jamaica shit because of race? uygha are you legitimately retarded? Jamaica doesn't even dominate Jamaica.

At least people who say "why don't tankies criticize Russia more?!" can point to a Russian sphere of influence. What Korea is exerting colonial power over Leafland? South Korea is basically a giant US military vase, and the DPRK has no interest in colonizing anyone.

You wanna talk about languages? Ok, how come every single one of the Caribbean island countries primarily speaks Spanish, English, or French? Why are they predominantly Christian? If you want to try to make this case according to language, which is a very poor measure, you would still have no fucking case.

Call me when Jamaica invades the US militarily because it wants the US's oil or the US has an election it doesn't like, you fucking dunce. Call me when Jamaica topples the US gov't and kills a million Americans because the US opposed Bob Marlionism. That time a few years ago when some retards on 8ch tried to recolonize Namibia had more teeth than anything you're talking about, and you don't mention that because it wasn't anything of note either.

You also conveniently skip over actual things like the UAE funding the Janjaweed or Gulf States funding ISIS and HTS, presumably because even you understand that these Gulf States do this with full behind-the-scenes US & Israeli support, and that the resulting chaos is used to further UPost too long.

It's literally true though. Most early socialists were anti environmentalists too.

The people are gonna have an awakening

God this is where we are.
We're so fucked.
After this layer dissolves then we can start to dissolve the next layer!

Then the bourgeois will pay!

The quality of discourse on the rest of the web isn't much better. Enjoy your hug box.

I mean it fucking used to be.

As a devoted user of this site, I admittedly find it frustrating. Not that .org is better - .org is unusable, the mods of .org are weird sadists who hate /leftypol/ culture, ban people for undeclared reasons, and delete stuff which doesn't break any rules. .org has also, accordingly, been a serious step down from the educational & memetic exchange atmosphere of old /leftypol/ and Bunkerchan; it was a major downgrade even before it became unusable. It frustrates me that it seems like the more time and thought I put into posting here, the deader and more vapid this site becomes. I don't begrudge the incels as posters (unlike the OP), I like that they're here, but what frustrates me is that casual attention to anything else seems to have declined so damn steeply.

You know, our /b/ is very free, our /leftypol/ is not censor-happy, our /edu/ was once full of users posting useful pdfs. There's a TON of stuff going on in the world right now which is insanely fucking interesting, but it seems like I'm 99% of the posts about it.

Leave your faggot question marks for questions. That's clearly a statement.

I literally don't get what you retards are seeing. Like this board is faster than it has ever been but I guess glow uyghurs like >>158704
