And never mind that /pol/ was originally libertarian and didn't start looking closely at the JQ until years later, after Ron Paul was screwed out of the presidential nomination by his own party, twice and Occupy was shut down. Also, /pol/ wasn't a new creation, it was the old /new/ board with a new name.

It’s the emergence of an entirely new "attachment economy" designed to exploit our deepest psychological vulnerabilities on an unprecedented scale.

It's not really new, it's just been automated and accelerated. The same sort of toxic parasocial relationships already existed on sites like onlyfans.

He's holding his chin pretty high when facing the camera, it's borderline.

As for the destruction, in addition to what he said, we turned our national back against the Lord way back in the 50s when we let the Supreme Court remove God from the public sphere, we grew more ever godless by the decade, and we've killed way more of our own babies than the Phillistines ever did, so the argument can definitely be made that we deserve destruction. You could even argue that we're currently going through an Old Testament style destruction, being that we're currently ruled by foreign enemies.

Platform misuse is pretty vague, what do you consider to fall into that category?

Why do we have the option to report rule two violations? It's not like we ordinary users can see what's being reported.

The people you're trying to keep out will avoid that rule by aging their alts and farming up points on other boards before coming here. I've seen pedojeet do it multiple times. This board is already on the verge of dying, making it harder for legit new users to join will just hammer more nails into the coffin.

Do you not know when WW1 was? The laws you're whining about pre-date NSDAP by decades and have been unchanged for over a century. I've pointed this fact out to you before.

Probably removed because that is an easily checked lie that you keep repeating. The German age of consent in modern Germany is the same as it was in the WW1 German Empire and in all the various German governments in between.

Yeah, any prosecutions coming from this will be either people who aren't very useful to blackmail, or blackmailed pedos who failed to do as they're told.

And that's why mass-produced popular culture encourages vulgarity.

There was a nomination thread several months back and at least one thread on c/meta around the same time, though I never saw any acknowledgement from the admins about even seeing those threads.

Too meta for me there. A thread about the conspiracy to shut this place down would be way more suitable than letting the conspirators run wild with the disenchantment and sliding.

You do realize that would also include all the threads you make complaining about jg5, right?

I dunno, as much fun as it was rhetorically smacking imp around every day, on-topic discussion was pretty rare. Maybe this change can end all the forum sliding that was happening.

Unfortunately, I've only ever seen new communities succeed on this site when there's a bunch of new users moving in at the same time. All the big communities are heavily siloed for whatever reason.

It'd probably work better to either confine all the flamewars to a thunderdome thread or enforce rule one strictly on posters who can't or won't make their point without slinging around personal insults.

What active mods? This is the first time in a year we've had one.

Typical woman, you come into a place and try to shove out the people who were already there.

Nice try, but OP clearly only believes what chatbots tell him.

And don't forget that they managed to get one of their board members placed as secretary of homeland security during the Biden administration.

And they never left the borders of Rome. They literally went to the next province over.
