You know, looking back at the split cycles and looking back at how insane the jannies at org are currently what does chan think of the possibility that leftypol.org was the target of CIA/FBI infiltration / divide and conquer? I mean, look, we know the FBI intentionally will go after hacker forums like Raid Forums who are doing grey market shit, but, I don't think it's beyond rationality to think that a website as HUGE and influential as bunkerchan was during its heyday from being targeted by the Feds. In-fact, I would say it makes perfect sense.
Look at the current state of org and tell me it's not glowing brighter than the surface of the sun. I think it makes perfect sense that the FBI would want to get something like org under control and foreign agencies have already targeted us in the past.

I think a lot of seemingly self-destructive behavior among left organizations is an ambiguous combination of both intentional undermining and attraction to the cause of well-meaning individuals with horrible personalities that should never be anywhere near power. That ambiguity is probably exactly one of the goals of spook agencies–keeping leftists paralyzed by fear at times because they're so paranoid about whom they can trust.

However, we shouldn't let this distract from the real lesson of previous failed web communities. The real lesson is this: the top-down manner in which web forums are traditionally administrated and controlled is naturally unaccountable and inherently presents a small point of failure that can destroy a community when a web owner/web admin/mod turns on their community and can't be removed and replaced. We need better structures that can empower the posters.

I know that there was this feeling, being on the org team when we were together, that there is a group of people who actually always get their way, and everyone else who's frustrated by that. The way the team actually made decisions wasn't democratic, even down to how votes were being acted upon or not.

This is essentially what started the split: turbojanitor, comatoast left and zul was about to be kicked out.

I don't have any evidence of them being actual feds, but I also feel they act against things that potentially could have reached a wider audience and made a wider impact. I think someone else noted this too, that any thread that gets close to something actionable is removed.

I would not go so far as to kill an online tankie, but the disagreement is fundamental. The main difference between .ogre and .net is the allowable variance in opinions. Ogre has devolved into an authoritarian shithole, and .net has not. This is why we get .ogre posters come here demanding that x or y be banned, and that such and such is a Nazi/CIA/etc. This is the typical playbook of spewing bullshit in the hope some of it sticks. It happens to everyone community these authoritarian "leftists"(Read: fascists) get their hands on. Ogre isn't some CIA ploy or anything like that. Those posters are pathetic idiots who have failed at everything in life. There is no threat to anyone from them. Pic related: typical .ogre poster.

The legal proceedings against trump are lawfare, the goal is not to prosecute and convict him for crimes, the purpose is to use the legal process itself to force him out of politics. The people doing this do not care whether Trump gets convicted or all the cases against him get thrown out because they put the thumb on the scale, as long as it serves their objective of levering him out of the political process. If you genuinely care about justice, you do not have common cause with these people.

This is an argument from authority fallacy.

The reason not to mix antifreeze and engine oil is because:
<When antifreeze mixes with engine oil, it reduces the oil viscosity and lubricating power, resulting in loss of engine power and lubrication, leading to engine damage. The chemicals in antifreeze are harsh to internal engine components like for example bearings, causing wear and damage over time if repeatedly exposed.
Not because St.Mechanicus said so. You seem to lack any concept for the possibility that phenomena can be explained and understood.

Great job arguing with yourself, dipshit. Unfortunately, I never said that. Next time you tey to lecture someone on argumentation, try not to use a blatant straw man.
>This is an argument from authority fallacy.
Wrong again, faggot. A fallacious argument from authority would be to say that the President told me so. It is not fallacious to quote a subject-matter expert on his field of expertise. Do you ask your doctor to present arguments for his diagnosis? You're an absolute dumbfuck, you know that?
>The reason not to mix antifreeze and engine oil is because
Assuming you didn't know that, are you going to have an argument with a mechanic? The answer is no, because you don't know shit.
>Not because St.Mechanicus said so. You seem to lack any concept for the possibility that phenomena can be explained and understood.
Oh, but I do. The problem is that people like you do not know anything about what you argue, and it's quite obvious.
>You can either explain the weird shit that people have documented or admit that you can't just dismiss this out of hand.

Trump won't go to prison, he's got enough money to stretch out litigation until he died of old age. There isn't going to be any surplus enjoyment.
Communists also don't think US presidents steer the US empire, even if you put every US president behind bars, the people principally responsible for all the heinous crimes of empire would still have gotten away with it.

He isn't in legal trouble because of crimes. Every US president is guilty in that regard. The ruling class in the US wants Trump out because he sometimes says the quite part out-loud. Like his Tweet about Syria that said "We kept the oil !" He's embarrassing them and contradicting the American exceptionalism narrative about bombing for "freedom and democracy with rainbow-flags".

It's a picture where, you know, the more I look at it… the less I understand it. I don't really assume good faith in the .org staff anymore - honestly, the coup against Bunkerchan should have ended any good faith I had, but I still bit for a while.

It's entirely possible that .org is feds. It's possible they're /pol/. It's possible they're some other far-right group. It's possible that they're /r/socialism trying to get revenge (though I doubt they'd even be competent enough to pull it off), it's possible that it's a bunch of narcissists off twitter or reddit or closed fbi.gov groups. It's possible it's foreign spooks, although I kind of doubt this. It's possible that it's just a bunch of sadists.

I can only say that they are not sincere. I can say with confidence that it's not a tankie freakout - original BO had tankie freakouts, and those were shit but they were at least ideologically coherent, and they were bad but considerably milder than this current stuff. I don't know specifically what their deal is, and I don't personally expect to ever know conclusively.

You can use state authority to enforce freedom of expression, you can also use it to trample on freedom of expression. You can use state authority to enforce good labor conditions, or you can use it to force people to work in appalling conditions.

Why should we play this positional game of shifting word definitions ?

Why shouldn't we outright state that we would like to use coercive state power to create a information space that enables free expression. This action will be liberating for all the people that get free-speech but it will be restraining for all those that wish to interfere with free-speech. For those it will feel like getting "authoritarinized".

>It means centralized power and authority that restricts personal freedoms, but you knew that already.
Free speech and expression came out of the enlightenment, and it used centralized state power to smash the censorious theocratic institutions.

All that said freedom of expression can also be implemented by decentralized or distributed structures. Doing it this way probably has advantages. Maybe structural solutions are more enduring. But it seems dishonest to pretend that you can't use the state for this as well, when historically that was the case.

Imagine we could access state resources to developed and implement distributed information technology. Censorship would be in the dustbin of history in 2-3 years.

So what do you think anons? Fact or fiction?

>Are we being gaslit by a psyop lately?
no clue, it sometimes feels like all of ruling ideology is a psyop. And politically unconscious people repeating it reflected can sometimes appear to be glowies when they regurgitate ruling ideology.

>Seeing a huge amount of clueless, deranged posts that argue from some kind of straw man of leftist politics or loaded questions.
I sometimes check posts with an AI detector, and i got a positive for "AI detected". This is the first time a post didn't pass those detectors. Mind you the possibility for false positives. It could be just one guy using one of those AI websites, reposting AI replies.

>it feels like I'm part of a psyop, wasting my fucking time engaging with an opponent who might as well be a language model.
>What's going on here?

Yeah it's hard to say. Some people predict that eventually everybody will deploy a LLM and then all communication online will just be robots talking to each other. Others predict that once enough robots generated text gets posted online it will feed back into the LLMs and that degrade the quality until they just spit out gibberish.

Yes divide and conquer is something the glowies do, however there also are plenty of organic wreckers. Not every split in the left is a glowie op.

Honestly it probably doesn't really matter which it is. The quest to create a mass-movement requires creating social structures that don't fall apart regardless what the causes for division are.

That said we probably do need theory about glowie-action, how the deep state works etc. I don't know maybe we're all wrong about the nature of ideological struggle. It might be that in current conditions, the best strategy isn't to promote your ideology but instead to bastardize and muddle opposing ideologies.

The mods became very cliquey leading up to the split. There already were factions that caused people to quit: turbojanitor and comatoast straight up left .org because we would have countless multi-day arguments that went nowhere. Once coma left, things got really heated in the chatroom and sage had an idea to open up direction of the board to our users, to bring them on into a congress. That chatroom was the internet equivalent of a war zone, it was the only way anyone saw to stop this.

Zul pulls sage into the mod chat, which btw isn't a big deal since the privileges on the room are set to "you can only see history since you have joined", and immediately a motion to get Zul demodded begins and is expidited via some technicality in the rules so that the vote doesn't last as long as every other decision did. Obviously "they" use the fact that zul pulled someone into the super secret mod room, but that person was Sage and Sage wasn't some outsider but a prolific poster and was active in the matrix chat. They were known, they were cool.

This basically was the moment the site split. I messaged coma and zul and we made a new staff room. I wanted to freeze the other moderators accounts and have a discussion about democratically running the site but they didn't even entertain the idea of talking, they basically went for the split, immediately securing the .org domain name and starting the process. There was no talking stage with us.

This tells me that their so-called "modocracy" was never democratic. Whether of not this is because any of them were feds I can't show, but if you ignore the actual split and look at how things were run, you see that there were clearly ideas that got fast-tracked and ideas that were shut-down and that wasn't the result of some open process.

I don't know. I helped them move pictures from one booru to another, and then they wanted me to move the whole site off bunkerchan. Which I did.

>Having a tons of free time and strong opinions?
I guess I disagree with the having strong opinions part. Also there may be more things idk.

Link? If we run the board's content through it how high would the false-postiive rate be? I mean if we assume we "know" that every post isn't AI - say if we ran the content from a few years ago through it where AI wasn't so mature?

From what I understand, the new LLMs are beyond being detected. Likewise, you can pass AI generated text through another modifying program to make it harder to detect.

There is a whole industry around this for copywriters, since clearly AI generated text gets deranked in Google search algorithms.

But the stuff that sounds like it's spoken from either a cowboy or an obnoxious stoned hippie was certainly AI generated

We're having a Stalin debate ?

Well for the material conditions that existed in early 20 century Russia, Stalin was a very progressive figure.

You are either concern-trolling because you want to enforce the political spectrum that is acceptable in ruling ideology. Or you have limited conceptual thinking and can't look at history within historic context.

Lets be clear the only reason why Stalin gets so much shit in ruling ideology is because he stepped on the toes of imperial capitalism. There's still capitalists that are mad about the Soviets for getting rid of child-labor, for implementing 8h work days, for universal health-care and universal literacy programs. They hate the Soviets for being an example of decency that ruined the respectability of the harsher methods of exploitation.

Child labor laws are under attack in states across the country
<Amid increasing child labor violations, lawmakers must act to strengthen standards
<What this report finds: States across the country are attempting to weaken child labor protections, just as violations of these standards are rising. This report identifies bills weakening child labor standards in 10 states that have been introduced or passed in the past two years alone.
https://www.epi.org/publication/child-labor-laws-under-attack/

The Growth of Incarceration in the United States: Exploring Causes and Consequences
<the rate of imprisonment in the United States more than quadrupled during the last four decades. The U.S. penal population of 2.2 million adults is by far the largest in the world. Just under one-quarter of the world's prisoners are held in American prisons.
https://nicic.gov/resources/nic-library/all-library-items/growth-incarceration-united-states-exploring-causes-and

Capitalism simply is too brutal and unethical, Stalin has to be upheld as long as there are people trying to reverse progress.

Real talk tho: eugene's mentally ill ravings are every bit as bad as large language model spam (assuming they aren't a language model themselves). Giant walls of text that you immediately ignore that sometimes cause you accidentally associate them with posters who aren't mentally ill by accident. Why would anyone want to start up a sincere discussion looking for intelligent input when the first thing they'll receive is a schizo diatribe? It's very demoralizing.

At one point, I believe that the O9A had somebody on the mod team of org. There was a huge O9A thread going, and when I made an on-topic reply in a different thread pointing out how it was consistent with O9A tactics employed in other boards (like the old fascism board on 8chan), that post got deleted and I got a temporary ban (which was successfully appealed). The O9A was started by a former member of Column 88, which was itself part of Operation Gladio. I'm not making a hard claim that Myatt glows in the dark, but it wouldn't surprise me; even if he did, that wouldn't mean the randos infiltrating fringe chans for the cause also glow.
