I mean it's basic politics. If you have a government official talking about killing mass amounts of people, that's not good because normal people (civilians/voters) think that's fucking crazy, because that could be them.
Ben Gvir is from the part of the Israeli right that wants to move away from the US.
I mean he is doing that, just in the worse way possible
 
And? If someone comes crying to them because another user called them a poopy head for disliking Trump, the correct response is "don't care".
By the way I post a lot in TES and think this is extremely reasonable. If you can't take getting shit on or getting heckin downbooted for posting your opinions maybe don't fucking post them. I think the screenshot cross-posting (which I've also done on TES from posts here and it got deleted I think) is just heavily discouraged because it inevitably starts shit that literally provides nothing of value other than headaches. I don't think it goes one way either, if you were posting mostly in the TES thread instead of here you'd also notice it happen just in the inverse direction.
 
Deranged liberal arrested for vandalizing the reflecting pool:
What a fucking hippie faggot. I have the same contempt for this shithead as I do for the retarded hayseeds that thought destroying the rock formations at Lake Mead was funny. People like this who fuck up our parks and patriotic spaces aren't any better than niggers.

this guy couldn't make me hate him more if he tried
Oh, let's not underestimate his capabilities.

Progressive policies today offer young Whites and Males nothing.
I can't imagine any True and Honest White Man simping for a political team that has been openly bragging over the last generation about how much they hate white people, and especially white males, and want them demoralized and dead.

It's pretty much impossible, in my opinion. Leftists do not want to hang around a place where people can say nigger. They want to go somewhere where they can report you and get you banned for having an opinion they don't like so they don't have to see it or think about it.
How long has the fucking pattern been going on now, just on the internet? 25 years, give or take, which began accelerating after Dubya invaded Iraq? Shit, they don't even try to hide that this is their ultimate goal:

Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left. As to the scope of this tolerance and intolerance: ... it would extend to the stage of action as well as of discussion and propaganda, of deed as well as of word...The whole post-fascist period is one of clear and present danger. Consequently, true pacification requires the withdrawal of tolerance before the deed, at the stage of communication in word, print, and picture. Such extreme suspension of the right of free speech and free assembly is indeed justified only if the whole of society is in extreme danger. I maintain that our society is in such an emergency situation, and that it has become the normal state of affairs. Different opinions and 'philosophies' can no longer compete peacefully for adherence and persuasion on rational grounds: the 'marketplace of ideas' is organized and delimited by those who determine the national and the individual interest.
Note the "clear and present danger" phrase that the Biden administration and their media mouthpieces loved to invoke. The music may change, but the song remains the same--"anyone that isn't a communist is a fascist!"

There's plenty of ideological diversity on this site, with threads where people can find left-wing opinions and settle in there. Christ, there's an entire thread specifically set aside for female Kiwis to complain about all the stupid shit men do, on a male-dominated site.

The problem isn't the lack of diversity, the problem is that KF is one of the very few places on the internet that hasn't brigaded the right into oblivion. Twitter would still be the same shadow-banning shithole that it was from 2017-2022 if Musk hadn't bought it, and that's mainly because he got buyer's remorse from allowing himself to get jawboned into letting his son troon out.

The left's primarily problem with the site isn't that it exists, it's that it isn't another Reddit or Something Awful.
 
This is your mistake.

Most people who claim to enjoy arguing about politics do not actually enjoy arguing about politics. They specifically enjoy winning arguments about politics, usually with eventual mod intervention depending on platform.
There are only two ways to win political arguments. One is to be correct, and the other is to cry, tearfully, for someone to come please shut down the argument. The fact that the latter is the go-to for libs now is telling.
 
Ben Gvir is a retarded thug and the biggest liability to his own movement. If he was intelligent at all, he would shut the fuck up and keep on working on his militia project.

You people have a word for this, chutzpah.. This sort of shit isn't going to help at all..

Eta: i just seen what bennett said, yeah that's the proper stance to have on this. Ben is a fuckign maniac, he wants to talk tough but he does that tough talk under the protection of the United States, the moment we do cut ties with them, Israel will cease to exist. Despite my hatred of the current leadership over there, I really don't want Israel gone, it's a lovely place with some really good people.

Correct. The truth is, most people want echo chambers. In addition, most of the people who claim they don't are lying, either to themselves or others, and their actual objection is that the specific echo chamber is not to their exact liking.

Perhaps you're right, but I have thoroughly enjoyed sperging out about some specific topic here and getting mocked and insulted for it. Which is not to say I always change my mind afterwards, but it's nice to have a place to rant about XYZ political topic with people who will call me a retarded groyper doomer faggot nigger instead of getting me fired or politely excusing themselves to avoid the topic.

Then surely the solution is to remove their goal from the equation? If someone sets out to "win" a political argument by crying to the jannies, then you could ruin their gay ass game by simply refusing to let the mods intervene. Hell, they could turn it into a net positive for the forum. Imagine a "Help me, mommy, they called me gay on Kiwifarms!" thread where every sniveling fag who tried to sick the jannies on someone over a political argument is exposed and mocked. This removes the incentive, and heavily punishes such behavior without resorting to heavy-handed moderation. I'd love to read through such a thread.
 
That guy should have put on a frog suit or something before vandalizing the pool. That way millions of smug leftists can take to social media and go "ERRMMMMM BLUMPF SUPPORTERS ARE LITERALLY AFRAID OF LE FROG MAN?????????" for the hundredth time.

Now? Have you been living under a rock?
 
How must the nigs feel knowing Country Roads is becoming more of a worldwide unofficial US national anthem than whatever gay black anthem they forced upon us:

I’ve said it before, but the whole purpose of a national anthem is to celebrate the nation’s people, their spirit, or their homeland,and in many ways Take Me Home, Country Roads celebrates a homeland better than any other song. Sure it’s specifically about West Virginia, but it absolutely makes a strong case for the beauty of the region.

The black national anthem celebrates nothing. It’s a antique pop song at best

Yeah, the mods have a clear bias as far as I can see, and it really sabotages the effort. The Iran War thread is probably the best recent example of that. Like, I'm really skeptical of our involvement in it, and I eagerly want to hear both sides but I feel like that thread pretty quickly devolved into a single perspective about how Orange Man totally fucked up and the imagined domestic fallout thereof. It kind of renders the thread useless to me, and created the exact situation dear leader is trying to prevent.
 
I'd like you to know, I live in a van down by the river.
I think you're actually a probably socially functional person, that was the singular "you".

I got banned from it for a month for offering a different perspective than USA USA USA when it started.
 
You're right, my options are as follows:
1) expose my public identity and actions I take IRL to build things on the doxxing forum
2) "build" something on the USPG2 thread of the Autistic Thunderdome subforum
I hereby think you're being retarded
If you could post this in your native language, I might find a better translation. As it stands, I don't know what you're trying to say.
