Why I like saidit. It doesn't have downvotes, and that is pro free-speech. When you have downvotes that discourages people from speaking up. We don't need downvotes. If someone says something dumb here, then it just won't rise up, and that's enough. There doesn't need to be double punishment.

I like it too, but there are some unbelievably retarded Jew haters on here

What can you do. Everywhere you have free speech, that pesky thing called "truth" is bound to show up now and again. I know, I know, it's a terrible state of affairs.

We get it. Jews have disproportionate representation in world affairs, often for bad reasons. Everybody knows this. Either do something about it, or move on and stop bitchin about it with strangers on the internet.

[–][deleted] 9 insightful - 2 fun9 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 2 fun -  (6 children)

No, FAR from everybody knows this. Most people still believe Jews are the poor innocent victims of the shamefully warmongering white men.

Since when??? Why did the Nazi's want to kill them in the first place? Why were they driven out of every country they've ever settled in for the last 2000 years? EVERYBODY knows this, its OLD NEWS. Everybody on this site CERTAINLY knows it!

Why not do something about it the proper way, through political or legal change? Posting tin-foil hat stuff online does NOTHING to bring about justice, and just makes the rest of us look bad.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Well if everybody knows it, it isn't "tin-foil hat" stuff, is it now?

But no, there are plenty of reddit refugees here whose contact with the truth is the first.

I disagree, tons and tons of people aren't aware of it. I wasn't aware that our mainstream media is packed with Jewish people, and that they use their positions of power to advance their own interests.

But the people doing the talking are frequently nuts and/or spew word salad. It's the best defense Jewish people have, frankly. Once society becomes broadly aware of the truth, things will change. Why does AIPAC have veto power over our presidential candidates?

The agricultural, food producing, and land owning sectors of the Western World is dominated by Christians, who use their position of power to advance their own interests. Should we apply the same standards as you're applying to Jews? Where are all the articles about those super sneaky farmers coveting all the land?

Whataboutism is a propaganda technique first used by the Soviet Union, in its dealings with the Western world.[1] When Cold War criticisms were levelled at the Soviet Union, the response would be "What about..." followed by the naming of an event in the Western world.[2][3] It represents a case of tu quoque (appeal to hypocrisy),[4] a logical fallacy that attempts to discredit the opponent's position by asserting the opponent's failure to act consistently in accordance with that position, without directly refuting or disproving the opponent's initial argument.

i think you all might be confusing jews and zionists. Maybe an important issue to research and also lets not start attacking a whole group of people on the basis of stereotypes. I would love to see people deal with one another as a fellow human and one on one than as one ethnic group against another

And people obsessed with Antifa and BLM. Someone posted a link about antifa setting fire to a pigs head on /s/animals.

These people post enough of that garbage to other subs it shouldn't even be in like news, politics, world news.

I like saidit but so much of the content is garbage, posted multiple times to different subs.

And what is the obsession with Ellen? I've seen the same thing about her posted several times.

[–]Newmug 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

Exactly. Repetitive misplaced shite. I left Reddit to go to a BETTER site, not to babysit a worse one

[–]yayblueberries 12 insightful - 2 fun12 insightful - 1 fun13 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

There is no site worse than Reddit. Reddit doesn't even represent reality, it's worse than being imprisoned in a liberal arts private college run only for trannies and their allies, why do you like it at all?

[–]Newmug 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I don't anymore. I didn't used to be like that, it has only gotten that way in recent years. It might change again after the US elections. But I'd hate to see Saidit going just as extreme in the opposite direction. Saidit actually has a chance of being a good reputable conservative site. Lets not let it descend into a KKK circlejerk.

[–]denverkris 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Are moderators unable to curate at all? Not quite sure how saidit works just yet.

[–]Newmug 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I don't know either. With Saidit being so small right now, you'd think the mods could control things a bit better and create an expectation for what the site should be like. Now is the time.

It really gets to be a fine line when it comes to censorship, but yes I agree that I don't want constant "i hate jews" type crap in my sub. At the same time, I'm here because reddit banned all feminist communities that refused to jump on the "men can be women" bandwagon. At the same time, there's a difference between saying that I don't think biological men should be considered women just because they say they're women, and saying "i hate all transpeople" or "all transpeople are evil because they're trans". I think reddit similarly is blocking any discussions that discuss their definition of "oppressed" groups as bad actors, even when said discussions are about individuals acting badly or ideologies as a whole.

[–]runtis 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I just ignore those posts and try and post cool things and engage in comments.

If I want saidit to be better I have to do better as well.

[–]forgottenpasswordguy 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Oh man I am so sick of hearing about antifa, BLM, and Jews on here. It's every bit as dumb, pointless, and obnoxious as the left constantly whining about Trump on reddit.

We get it guys, you don't like those groups. Tell me something new, fun, or educational.

[–]BigFatRetard 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

To be fair, after months of riots I think the world is sick of antifa and BLM.

Sure would be nice if we could wave a magic wand and make it all stop being current events, but the mayors and governors approve of it all so they refuse to enforce the law.

[–]forgottenpasswordguy 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I see your point. Especially lately where people are protesting police shootings that were clearly justified for example. I feel like there's no more ground to cover though. The conversations on BLM, covid, etc have gone on long enough to have the same talking points over and over, I'm just ready to talk about something else while this madness burns out. Plus I don't believe these groups and events are as big and influential as people like to think.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Why don't YOU come up with things that are new fun and educational? That way your amazing posts will drown out all the low quality stuff on the front page.

[–]forgottenpasswordguy 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Good point, I share a bit here and there but nothing too exciting. That said if I find or think of something great I'll be happy to share it, I want this community to turn out awesome.

[–]SeasideLimbs 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

And people obsessed with Antifa and BLM.

And what is the obsession with Ellen?

Why do people have to be broken records about it though? There's no more ground to cover, it's been the same stupid shit every day. Next subject I say!

[–]Chipit 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

You sure it's not because you disagree with it and hate seeing it exposed?

Ellen is a pretty big deal. As big as Bill Cosby. She was the far left superstar for ages, and now it's come out that she was a completely horrible person, and treated people like shit all the time. That's gonna be a big story for a long time.

If you're referring to hollywood and epstein and all of that junk, I'm sure. Screw hollywood and their trashy culture, let it fall apart.

[–]bobbobbybob 6 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

some unbelievably smart ones too.

[–]SeasideLimbs 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Just ignore them. The best way to keep Saidit from being all about them is to post other types of content. Complaining about them accomplishes the opposite.

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

too much power, not allowed to criticize them. huge problem.

[–]Newmug 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Do it the proper way then. Less of the online tin-foil hat stuff, more political and legal action.
