Nazi/Antisemitism Fatigue

[Ropey]

Yes, it's small, but it's a piece of the widespread media blitz; nobody said it was a main center of anything; its a symptom of how pervasive the problem is. The same posters likely poster elsewhere as well.

There have always been people who try to make events about them. They are simple to recognize. Then sometimes, like with Mindful, there is proof of the personal issues. That's why she changes her nick and blames others for coming after her.

It's in her mind. She's not important enough for anyone to come after her.

And certainly not in this tiny forum... where she has had staff change her nick for her, many times.

And I say the problem is hers, not others doxing her.

Otherwise...

There have always been liberal vs conservative sides in this bipolar world.

Still,

Anonymous, remember?

And when I say come after, I don't mean trolling and taunting.

Not nearly to the degree we see now.

Not the same level of violence as we have now. Neither wings were doped up radical lunatics until recent history; outside of labor strikes and owners paying private armies to shoot down strikers.

Still,

Anonymous, remember?

'Anonymous', as were the sickos who tried to assassinate Trump and succeeded in killing Kirk. they were anonymous too. They were being groomed and coached on who to hate. The campaigns target small and large boards.

And ... "Freedom of the press belongs to those who own one." -paraphrased from several sources. The owners' reps control who has a say here.

Anonymity empowers people to exposes their soul where they never would if they had to declare their identity.

Any anonymous message board gives you a better sampling of real America than any poll

At this forum? You have no idea. It was once the wild west here. Now it's so much better and it's raw.

We are talking about this anonymous Internet forum. It's not that bad. There's talking but no real action.

'Anonymous', as were the sickos who tried to assassinate Trump and succeeded in killing Kirk. they were anonymous too. They were being groomed and coached on who to hate.

You are comparing on-the-ground reality with anonymous forum posts.

IMHO, this comparison is fundamentally flawed.

Anonymity empowers people to exposes their soul where they never would if they had to declare their identity.

Anonymity allows people to remain anonymous... by definition.

Any anonymous message board gives you a better sampling of real America than any poll

Not when it comes to outright violence or ground-based reality.

IMHO

Conflating the two does a disservice to reality.

I presume that's because the mods have been clamping down on "speech" here. Limiting what you can say doesn't actually change how a person feels.

Cosmetic changes don't actually alter how users feel. The real issue stems from the early days of this forum, when moderators were given almost total control.

Eventually, the leadership completely purged the community's representation in administration.

Now, we have zero administrators brought up from within our own forum ranks.

 

[EdwinAMartin]

There's talking but no real action.

If it's anonymous there is no way to determine that.

 

[Ropey]

If it's anonymous there is no way to determine that.

You make my point.

There is no way to determine it isn't working well either.

Certainly, the outcry from both sides makes it clear that neither side is happy.

And that works for me.

I am Jewish, and when I look in the mirror, my nose makes it clear that the jokes are on me.

Still, it's far better than being the butt of the joke.

And, many of the nutjobs frequented these forums and had posts on them. I've had discussions on 'small boards', DA, Politics Online, etc. with at least one nutjob who ended up murdering several people at a synagogue. His language was pretty much the same as the shit allowed here.

Most thought he was a joke, too. He posted on many boards over the years.

The 2014 shooting at Kansas Jewish centers was a single, isolated act committed by Frazier Glenn Miller Jr., a known white supremacist, rather than a trend involving hundreds of individuals.

While Miller frequented various online forums, his 2014 attack stands as his only act of lethal violence in that period, culminating in his conviction and death in prison.

Where are the rampant pattern copy gangs?

Chill out.

Who said anything about 'gangs'? In any case, we see them on the streets and on college campuses running 'rampant', flying Hamas flags, assaulting students, looting businesses, etc. And, with a open terrorist fan boi now running NYC, violence is definitely going to follow, same as it did in Nazi Germany. 'Chilling out' isn't an option any more.

pretty much the same as boiling a frog; just raise the heat slowly and before the frog knows it it's too late.

. That's why she changes her nick and blames others for coming after her.

And you know this how?
You should know what you’re talking about before you make baseless accusations like that.

You sound like Beale. I explained six times to him the technical reasons and mixups for the name change, but he wouldn’t accept it. Then he got abusive and nasty about it. Rather like you, and your odd reactions.

It's your pattern, as I see it.

That's all.

No it’s not all.

I don’t have a pattern.
