/meta/ - Ruthless criticism of all that exists (in leftypol.org)

>>24216
We implemented this 3-4ish years ago and it caused so much controversy and backlash that we had to immediately repeal it. If there is popular demand for it now then maybe we can look at it again but it seems unlikely.

>>24217
i dont get why there was backlash in the first place, anonymity isnt an issue since the ids refresh right?

No that glows. Back in 8chan days those could be used to calculate a user's IP. Don't remember how.

>>24219 (me)
Also me and my sister use this site and people would think we're samefagging when we're just posting from the same house.

>>24220
I think there's also possibly an issue with dynamic IPs and people getting the same ID, to say nothing of, like, multiple people posting from the same coffee shop or whatever.

>>24202
Thanks

Please actually learn what liberalism means, we don't use the reddit definition here.

>>24180
All the idpol-violator users had no post history except one, seems legit.

>>24180
Way to out yourself in a single post lmao.

What does it mean?

>>23258
how these things work:
>people bring thing up in meta or somewhere
>mod sees it
>maybe discuss with 1 or 2 other mods about it
>wait a bit
>authoritatively say "devs, we need this change!"
>devs implement change how they see fit without question because its relatively small
>you are here

we auto-noko you retard.
if you actually used the feature you're bitching about you would know that.

>>23258
I used to do that too, but it was to encourage people to use 'sage', because it is quite esoteric.
You can be a l33t h4xX0r and still do custom emails

Noko hasn't been a thing on most imageboards for over a decade and it's the most retarded feature ever. It's good that it was removed.

test

>>24159
heh

Just want to thank mods for the fast response time cleaning up the garbage

i use sharty but also leftypol, so i will sit this one out

>>24146
ok colorjak poopfag

Post the failed 2020 /pol/ raid screencaps to remind them

>>24139
Thank you, /leftypol/ NKVD network is too powerful for all raiders.

It's an /isg/ topic, at least in presentation. I think there's a legitimate discussion to be had about the layoffs, but starting it off with redditism filled meltdown from someone that doesn't know what a PMC is doesn't seem like a good foundation for such discussion.

>posting the exact quote with the logical reasoning of marx in a debate/discussion is the same as quoting muh religious book
>its cultish to trust the reasoning of the founder of your political philosophy rather than some random moron on an imageboard, and looking up what he thought on a matter and his arguments for it is akin to religion
nice strawman fucktard

>>23818
it's amazing the insane things people will say when you put completely different words in their mouths.

>>23816
Marx changed his opinion on a bunch of stuff. So merely quoting him is not doing justice to the development of thought nor the reasoning that led Marx to the conclusion being quoted. Conclusions without the context are useless.

>>23808
i don't think i've even seen this happen
so counterpoint: why do people cite their own feelings like the bible?

Anyways easy solution: argue against the material they cite.

Btw I get the beef with the idea of revisionism, but generally when the word is applied it doesn't mean that someone just disagrees with the holy scripture, it means they've changed course with no reason (which is a very common thing - people get scared/confused/demoralized, and they fall back onto disproved ideas). It's a call for more thorough analysis and critique, it's not a thought stopping mechanism. When people use it as a thought stopping word to protect themselves from criticism just tell them to shove it. It's really not a complex problem. To break it down to its base elements:

Problem: some people are stupid
Solution: tell them to fuck off if they keep pestering without engaging in any real discussion - or just drop your knowledge/critique and fuck off yourself if you're the one pestering and this person wants to be set in their ways

i think this thread is fine here

false dichotomy. you can do analysis and also quote someone at the same time. For example the other day I pointed to how systemic homelessness in the USA is a form of social murder and then quoted Engels
