I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on [email protected]. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed

edit: the mod in question is @[email protected] . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn’t realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community’s rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual

    The famine started before killing the sparrows, that’s why they killed the sparrows. You do realize that, right? And you do realize that communism isn’t “kill the sparrows,” correct? You have no logical process here, it’s pure reaction.

    If your goal is practicing rhetoric, then you’ve failed, though failure is a good teacher.

      Lmao this is one of those normal people I’m talking about who view your discussions as little stage plays.

      We all think you’re weird for this stuff. Arp!

          Dunno, I didn’t get any of that from this back and forth, just you being crazy and him spitting facts.

          Your response to this is hilarious.

            In what way was it hilarious? imaqtpie made the argument that “communism is when you kill the sparrows,” when no modern communist thinks that was a good move. They’re arguing against ghosts, while you defend zionists and transphobes.

              I guess it depends how far your head is up your ass, I think all your responses are hilarious, it’s why I bait them whenever I see you going off then spend all the time you reply to me insulting your points.

              You’re a TV show that’s always on to me. You’ll always be here blowing hot air into your friends and twisting them into balloon doggies.

              Then when you meet and argument that’s good and consistent, you ad hominem because your rhetoric is so weak and easily passed through.

              You are my favorite thing on this site.

                  Dehumanizing, you are my favorite human! Only a real person could be this obtuse and silly, I mean you don’t stop responding and you’re on ALL THE TIME!

                  It’s amazing, I love you, you are my entertainment and you are a real person!

      Global warming began before humanity started burning fossil fuels.

      Do you think Planet Earth would be doing just as badly if humans had never started burning fossil fuels?

      Because clearly you’re implying the famine would have been nearly as bad if the CCP never started killing sparrows.

      It’s laughably easy to brush aside your counterarguments because your position is inherently irrational and based on emotion.

        Do you believe that communism is only valid if communists have never made mistakes?

        do you think capitalists have never made mistakes on the scale of the sparrows issue?

        No, I outright stated that the famine was worse because of killing the sparrows. It was also alleviated by cooperative farming, and famine in general was alleviated by development.

        I really think you need to reread this convo, because you keep saying I’m saying things I never did.
