Yes that was the intent when the idea originally came up and it remains the primary motivation for the change. I'm curious as to why the complaints are having a resurgence now.

I think Reagan's biggest mistake was destroying the fucking middle class and paving the way for unmitigated unchecked capitalism but different strokes I guess.

Sounds like you'd be having trouble in most economies. Now who do you think is going to fix that for you and how?

You've got to be kidding me with this bullshit. If only you bothered to turn your critical eye onto the politicians you like. Who told you to hate this person and why? Do you ever bother to fucking reflect and ask yourself stuff like that? Like ffs. Might as well parrot me a Fox article word for word. Or a CNN one for the opposite extreme bias.

I'm eating just fine and I only make 33k a yr after taxes. I'm not even using food stamps. Maybe learn to budget and downsize your lifestyle. There's ways to weather this storm but people don't want to downsize either.

I don't give a flying fuck what you feel, all I care about is what IS. I'll wipe my ass with what you think and feel, I couldn't care less. I did debate against you all if you can recall. It got tiresome and you guys were just making this an echo chamber. Same shit as NF just the opposite extreme. Adults should have the intellectual capacity to not believe retarded shit but here we are. Some of the sources originally posted for "proof" were either clearly propaganda or just some fuckhead on twitter who has no credibility. Considering some of the stuff that was posted that would easily be disproven with the smallest five second google search, yes. Absolutely you should be grateful that I'm not a dictator like some NF staff was. Free discussion is one thing but this isn't 4-chan. Firstly I already told you about the pitiful quality of the so called proof. It's still there go research it. Hell reverse image search some of that dumb shit to immediately disprove it. Secondly...

Do I always have to spell out everything for you? Ofc not every opinion is wrong. But there were covid and vaxx conspiracy shit mixed in with people literally saying they can't trust the government at all and yet still talking about politics. Do you not see the fucking disconnect? If you don't trust anyone or anything then you can't get information. You have no source. Then people were posting fucking twitter mongoloids who are less credible than a lobotomized chimp. It's one thing to say I think Trump was a good president, it's another to say, Biden is conspiring with George Soros to end America. The former is an opinion, the latter is toilet paper only the most deplorable fucking retard would think and this is not a place for escaped asylum patients to smear shit all over the god damned walls.

What fucking nuclear war? Putin? If that pussy ass glass ego fat fuck wanted to do something he would have. He's just flapping his primitive little ape lips as dictators always do. China? China is literally nothing without everyone contributing to their miserable economy. Doesn't matter if you produce everything if nobody will buy it from you. The economy? We have a global economy pal. Covid and the war have absolutely fucked the resource chain we all rely on. No stupid politician of either party no matter what they say is going to fix it. They lack the power. The authority. Short of invading Russian ourselves, slaughtering Putin, and putting the country under our rule or the rule of one of our allies there is no fix on the horizon. Buckle in. The economy is going to be shit until the chain of resource production and distribution can be restored. And yes human rights do matter more to me than the fucking economy. What's the point of living in a rich country with no rights?

DO tell. Do you mean IWD? He chose not to participate of his own volition. My apologies for not allowing you guys to shit and vomit Qanon conspiracy bullshit all over the carpet. Nobody said this news sections was the free for all, it was a place to offer equal treatment and I did that. On NF you guys just would have been banned out of the section permanently. Not once did I force anyone out of the section via ban. Not once did I enforce my will upon you, unless you consider criticism and heated debate some kind of iron fist modding in which case this section is indeed hopeless. This was never a place to just run around and spew whatever stupid fucking shit.

Firstly, you have read history right? Thomas Jefferson suggested the constitution should be changed every generation, so that the young run the world they live in. A shame it didn't happen, but that said we did meet in the middle and add to the original document. Secondly, learn English. Fetus and baby are two different words for a reason. A fetus is not alive in the sense that we think of being alive. Taking away abortion affects women negatively. That's a simple fact, even moreso when that abortion is none of our business and does not affect us in any way. Forcing women in the south to spit out children is awful. You are taking away some of their agency over their own lives. Freedom amirite? Racial equality also wasn't originally a constitutional right but it's still a human right. Do you contest that? No? Okay then no further intellectually honest conversation is possible unless you agree and if you agree that's all. Good fucking day.

Ah I see. So that's where the options went. We'll need to make threads for joining the private sections in the meantime then. To facilitate the process.

The vitriol is different. It's a lot easier to brush aside, brush off, or otherwise get over having personal differences over an anime. Yes we have trolled in the past for the lulz, the old DBS section on NF is an example of that, but it's because of how lesser the stakes are that the DBS section still mostly got along while roasting the hell out of each other with as much venom as each member could muster. When it comes to fundamental rights, arguing against morals people have grown up with or grown into, building the future, nobody backs down because it's personal. It's not at all the same. In politics people learn to hate one another truly. In politics a difference of opinion often is seen as a reflection of morality and character in the reaction and registered as willful ignorance after the fact.

You have to opt into it like the bathhouse iirc. I thought there was an option on individual accounts but I can't recall.

It wasn't just my decision as you saw. For me, I'm sick of seeing it. I'm literally over here waiting for the SCOTUS to overturn gay marriage and maybe more. I don't really want to hear another person brush that to the side like it's not important or is unlikely to happen. I don't want to hear more flimsy justifications and defense for it. I'm not the only person that feels that way and so it does lead to a branding problem in the end. We're not going to keep as many people if we're pasting extreme talking points all over the place. Keep in mind, we could have just sunk to NF's level and banned everyone we disagree with and made a lefty echo chamber like NF but I and other mods decided it's best to just nip it in the bud. It's not enhancing the experience of the forum. Regardless. the content is still there for you to discuss, just not in the News. Europe is restrictive in how many weeks they'll allow but it doesn't seem like they have people calling it murder and wanting no...

Yeah and it should be everybody has the opportunity to get everything. My outpouring of sentiment is separate from the logic that all should be equal. Under a social contract, equality is in the best interest of its longevity. It's not removed though, it's just in a different place where it's not automatically viewable by the public, they have to choose to see it. I did make it clear I don't like a lot of the viewpoints expressed and considering the majority of Americans tend to lean that way nobody wants to see people still resisting change for nonsensical reasons. Talking about abortion btw, nvm Europe who largely allows it. That leads to a large majority of potential people that could be quite disgusted and leave automatically, be disgusted and try to argue and then leave when no compromise is made, or just refer to our news section as a shit heap like NF did with the cafe. Yeah we tried the free for all, and there was some stuff there that was really dumb and it alienated...

I'm not really censoring anything, just moving away from having public political discussions, like most other places. Whether you agree or not, some views are seen as deplorable or at best ignorant selfishness being their guiding principle. We really don't need that kind of energy. It was literally just the Cafe but with everyone allowed to participate instead of a handful of people. Politics has ceased to be about what's good for everyone. Now it's about what's good for me, and how something makes me feel rather than how something actually is. It's a cesspool. It's an emotional nest of which few can escape and no I don't mean people get emotional about it, that's normal, I mean viewpoints are rarely backed by any form of logic anymore. Instead of, oh hey the court just stripped people of rights and has threatened to strip more vulnerable groups of rights! It's waaahhhhh I pay too much for my chevy truck at the pump! I'm over it. The fact that you're not is fine. I just...

No more politics.

Spiicccyyyyy. We may do so in the future if activity continues to be minimal.

Let me stop you right there before the accusations, while it's very obvious I've had a problem with how the News section has become, not a single mod or admin makes decisions without a majority vote of other mods. This was not my sole decision and the way that we decide how the forum run is...
