People are being so conspiracy-brained about this. Many people seem to think a nice photo with an American flag coming from a rally is somehow so unlikely that it has to be staged. I saw someone claim the whole crowd was paid actors but they were also not trained to react like how a crowd reacts when there is a shooter, for some reason. And for what, it's not obvious this will even help him that much.

I hate when people use mental illness as a metaphor to explain why people disagree with them, it sucks for so many reasons

"Why focus on this specific child when we are killing so many other children?" is a pretty incredible defense

Dying from blood loss after a mortar shell I tried to fire at a pre-school hit a lamp post instead and blew off my leg: "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift... that's why they call it present"

This might be one of those situations where everyone is better off if we just ignore it

The moderates within the oppressing group are a critical part of it with their own specific parts in the functioning of the oppression, and oppression as a whole is our enemy. Of course, we shouldn't dehumanize them, but we also shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking they are somehow neutral.

In the early days of this site, it was common to flirt with the idea of running it more democratically. This was correctly deemed unfeasible during the Age of Struggle Sessions and the arbitrary dictatorship of the mods was cemented.

But maybe the problem wasn't democracy itself, but trying to jump the gun by modeling the site democracy after bourgeois or proletarian democracies. What we need to do is go back to the roots, reform the site to be more like ancient Athenian democracy.

I suggest the first reform is to implement a system of Ostrakismos, where once in a while there is a thread where we can name other users, and if one or more of these comments gets above a certain threshold of upvotes, the named user with the most upvotes on the comment gets banned for a year.

If a person took the extra effort to send me the white thumb emoji instead of the yellow one I would assume very mean things about them

Do not get fooled, Hexbear might seem like fascists pretending to be tankies, but it is actually all a ruse to hide that they are liberals
