The US Presidential Election Thread

The problem is that a politics thread needs moderation. It just does.

LOL nah you want to control discourse..

I know that you think I'm a threat to your little libertarian cooker echo-chamber you so desperately want here, but I had nothing to do with the Chessboard thread being locked or SLF's bigfooty ban.

I wish I had the power you think I had.

you never reported a post?

The only posts I ever reported were the ones accusing me, a Jewish guy, of being a Nazi.

fair play if that's true..

Is there a concept of a peace plan or is it that Don says to Vlad just roll the tanks in mate?

Most likely at this point Ukraine gives up Russian speaking territory and commits to neutrality in return for peace. Zelensky was elected to bring peace with Russia. Wonder if someone will remind him.

That's not a "peace plan". That's a full Ukranian surrender and Russia getting literally everything it wants...

he was also tapped on the shoulder by Boris to keep the war going, Keir has basically gone all the way with lbj slogans for war. might be out of the US hands at this point.

It's inevitable and will avoid further bloodshed. They could have avoided all this but chose not to. Now they are finding out.

The problem is that a politics thread needs moderation. It just does.

And the NMFC footy forum mods didn't sign up to moderate political debates. They don't want to do that, and I don't blame them.

There's a political section of BigFooty with dedicated mods.

No one cares except you mate.

 

[Chadwiko]

No one cares except you mate.

The mods care.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Easy to talk shit about war when you aren't fighting it.

 

[Val Keating]

The mods care.

Let them. It’s not your job, you’re not a mod. They only care if someone sooks and reports, not because they actually care, but because the tediousness annoys them.

Here's what you try and pretend isn't the reality; anyone who comes in here and has a different opinion from the echo-chamber that the little clique in these threads foments is outright bullied out of the threads. By all of you, not just one of you.

The difference is I stuck around. But there are multiple other NMFC fans who were subject to disgusting abuse in these threads by you and your clique and that's why these threads require moderation.

You guys are not the victims. You're the perpetrators.

Umm. That’s quite the overreaction to my post. I’m just suggesting that we post in this thread until FG gets back. It’s nothing personal, and certainly not bullying. Wtf.

You said the mods only care when someone "sooks and reports".

I was pointing out that those "sooks and reports" are the direct result of the chessboard clique being abusive and nasty to anyone who disagrees with them in your precious echo chamber.

It's why none of you (with the exception of Warlord who is banned) want to participate in the SRP mainboard threads on these topics. You don't actually want to discuss these topics in an open and moderated space. You want your echo chamber.

 

[bengrina]

Why don't we just create a new devils chessboard thread 'no chads allowed'.

I never post outside of the North board. Never. Found out years ago that big footy is full of people that hate North Melbourne and want us to no longer exist. That’s why I don’t leave this board. I won’t converse with those people and I can’t be bothered to look up the posting history of non North people to see if they have ever posted that type of thing.

You understand the only way echo chambers exist is because of moderation...

I literally did that a while back lol.

There is literally nothing stopping you all from starting your own PM chain, whatsapp group chat, or similar. If you want to have your own little private discussions, then go for it.

But if you make a thread on a public forum, you invite public participation.

No that's absolute bullshit lol. Did Elon tell you that?

What nonsense.

 

[Val Keating]

It’s almost like the countries in Europe don’t want the war to escalate…

 

[DesertRoo]

What nonsense.

The western world was built on the market place of ideas.
you don't want to enter, unless you have a safe space, over and over again you get shown up in that thread, notice most of the people who participated in that thread believe you to be a war mongering neo-con, who's full of it...

that's how this works.

thats why you throw the toys out of the cot and want it all moderated.

I'd suggest you start getting your information from somewhere other than 'BRICS News' twitter headlines

Because here's what Meloni actually said today;

The Italian Prime Minister said Tuesday she understands the US approval of the use of long-range missiles for Ukrainian strikes inside Russia, but Italy made a different choice, according to Italian news agency, ANSA.

Giorgia Meloni told reporters at the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro that the US decision was a "response" to Russia's war against Ukraine.

She said, however, that Italy pledges "support" for Ukraine as long as there is a war there.

"We have always been focused on the issue of anti-aircraft defense," said Meloni. "Of course, I understand the point of view of other nations."

Meloni noted that hunger and poverty are far from being solved.

"We are very far from solving” those issues, “given the ongoing crises, in Ukraine where Russia has used wheat as a weapon, and in the Middle East," she noted.
