Why Didn’t the Constitution Stop This? by Drewski in politics

Short answer: The Constitution needs honest judges to enforce it. And since the New Deal we mostly haven't had them, at least on the federal appeals courts and Supreme Court.

I've only used notabug via its "ceddit" alias (which gives you a version of reddit with moderator-deleted messages preserved, at least if notabug had time to save them). Is the new arrangement going to similarly protect against future action by saidit moderators?

I'm surprised the Archive hasn't come under attack before this. At least part of it is on European sites like archive.it, and Europe now has a "right to be forgotten" law. There ought to be multiple archives around the world to get around difficulties like that.

If that's why reddit is such a target of attack, we may just need to make independent blogs multiply, effectively re-creating the BBS. Please don't tell me I'm the only one on saidit old enough to remember those.

I'm no Donald Supporter but why is nobody posting there anymore?? by Jesus in The_Donald

[–]RatMan29 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Reddit over-regulated the sub into uselessness several years ago. There are other related subs, some of which have not gone as far down the same path (for instance Drain_The_Swamp) but they will all wind up in the same state as r/T_D. Some have even been formed as invitation-only subs, though I'm not sure if that has protected them or not. (btw, does saidit allow invitation-only subs?)

TheDonald.win was one attempt to move the community elsewhere, but there are enough dissidents that it's not all going to go one place regardless. Apparently at least one of the original mods is annoyed because TD.w tried to fund itself through ads.

Your list is a start, but will likely never be complete.

Lots of businesses, including many looting victims, have cucked out by making donations to NAACP and other SJW causes, so they belong on the list. I suggest, if technically possible, that saidit keep this comment section open so we can post more companies that bend the knee to the barbarian horde.

(BTW, does saidit have any rule against mentioning sjwlist.com?)

The ADL's extremism statistics make it seem like ultraright-wing violence in the US is more common than it actually is by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]RatMan29 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The ADL is another SPLC -- dishonest left-wing extremists who define anybody not far-left as "biased" or "hate" while pretending they're neutral. They're completely discredited, to the point where a good way to detect biased forums is to see if they define "bias" or "hate speech" by what ADL or SPLC says about it.

Either the ad-supported website is going the way of the dodo, or some new company will enter that market in competition with Google.

Unless there are exclusive agreements I'm not aware of, it won't even take an antitrust case to make this happen. Though I'd love to see one.

Of course, advertising isn't going to determine Reddit's policies anyway. Their Red Chinese co-owners are.

The reddit downvote is a helpful mechanism we ought to have. At least under RES each reader can decide for himself whether, and at what vote total, unpopular comments should be hidden, so it's not comparable to deletion.

This cartoon, too, is looking at too narrow a scope.

The media are about keeping people panicking. If a week passes when the public aren't scared, the media consider it their sworn duty to make up and start selling a new Phony Emergency of the Week!

Race (and other) bias is just one possible place they look in which to script each new PEotW. The environment and economy are frequent choices, too.

When in doubt, always refuse to panic. Even in the rare event that there is a real emergency, you'll be better off.

Tony Huge: How Transgender Powerlifters Can Normalize Steroid Use In Sports by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]RatMan29 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I have always felt that most doping rules in sports are pointless and stupid. (Pro athletes in some sports abuse their bodies so badly that the added risk from steroid use disappears in the noise.) But this is not the way I would go about changing the rules.

Suppose that boxing were controlled by a single governing body (there are at least three) and that they decided to do away with the weight classes and let any fighter challenge any other. It's easy to predict what would happen: only the heavyweights could compete. The rest would be driven out of the sport. This is what will happen to any athletic sport that doesn't segregate the sexes, or lets (biological) men compete as women. The women will quit. I don't want that to happen, and I don't think most people do.

[–]RatMan29 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The war is already here. It began as soon as the Antifa terrorists set up their no-go zone in Portland a year or so ago.

So far the SJWs are pretty much the only side shooting. I do not expect or want that to remain true.

Our country's various police and military commands need to decide, now, which side they are on, so we can know whom to rely on. They will not be able to sit this out -- or if they do, whoever wins will likely get rid of them as useless.

I do not want to have to do their job. The police are supposed to defend us, not the other way 'round.

Calls to action work both ways. What these people (both the burners and their cheering section) prove is that they are violent criminals with no remorse. The police should be shooting to kill every single looter and arsonist. Any police who run away should go up against a wall for cowardice-in-the-face.

No backlash would be worse than the riots. Besides, history shows you don't stop riots by giving the thugs what they want. You stop them by sending troops out and cracking enough heads that they decide they've had enough.

To the extent the anti-police folks get their way, we will be seeing more otherwise-ungoverned areas taken over by warlords like those in Seattle and Mogadishu. If the police allow this situation to go on very long, then maybe right-leaning militias will need to have territories of their own too. I'm sure they'll be more pleasant places to live than Antifa/BLM territories.

Of course this would be a poor second choice vs actual law and order, which I'm petitioning the President to impose.

It's not really open to interpretation (and we must never give in on this point). But there are certainly plenty of liars who pretend it is.

And many women literally edit their own memories and yet are too often believed afterward.

Fuck Reddit. The president's fan club is here from now on (and I hope all the associated subs come here too, such as HillaryForPrison).

WatchRedditDie posts should link out to reddit alternatives. by JamalGinsberg in MeanwhileOnReddit

Bad idea, it would give them an incentive to attack saidit.

OTOH, I would cry a river if the reddit subs that AHS minions approve were to get the same treatment they already give the ones they don't approve of.

It's hard for me to give up Reddit so long as some of my favorite subs show no sign of moving off it. (These are mostly subs that never attract the attention of the bad guys in AHS.)

It would also be nice if we had downvoting. And if RES worked here.

And I would really like the ability to mute specific users. Because some people are assholes and there's at least one on saidit.

Why Didn’t the Constitution Stop This? by Drewski in politics

Those are usually called Living Constitutionalists. I am not one at all; indeed I believe the entire run of The Federalist Papers is conclusive evidence of what the authors of the Constitution meant, and ought to be citable in court.

How an “Old Hippie” Got Accused of Astroturfing the Right-Wing Campaign to Reopen the Economy by dittendatt in KotakuInAction

I can't sympathize. The bozo asked for it.

I wish this were true, but I don't believe it. Indeed, the lockdown and social distancing rules are giving the world's Karens a whole new set of opportunities to be pains in the ass.

White Feminist Suggests Use of ‘Karen’ Is Slur Against Women, Black Twitter Promptly Corrects Her Assertation by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

Their claim of owning the name is pretty funny. But I'm going to continue using it to refer to anybody who seeks to enforce nanny-statism on others, and that includes "social justice" but is not limited to it. I'll even use it of a nanny-statist who isn't female.

You sound crazy. The UN is irrelevant, we agree on that much. The US has plenty of credibility as long as a moron like Obama isn't in the White House. Removing the Chinese government is a hard problem (but their recent actions in the South China Sea are enough provocation that several of our allies could insist we fight China -- not to mention that they inflicted COVID-19 on the US, which if deliberate was an act of war using weapons of mass destruction!) And Israel needs no fixing -- it is the neighboring countries which have been trying to genocide the Jews for 1,400 years that need to be stopped permanently.

The UN is violently anti-Israel and always has been, to the extent of putting Muslim countries on its so-called human rights council. The only reason Israel is still a member is that the US vetoes the worst resolutions against them in the GA (except under Obama, who also hated Israel and even intervened in an election there).

That makes sense. I'm thinking of other stories where women have insisted on becoming guards at men's prisons, and then the predictable happened to them.

Don't we go to school because the teachers know things we don't? I humbly suggest that firing a professor for being a dumbshit ought to be a thing.

This problem is the combined result of at least two dumb mistakes. One, accepting a trans person's "gender identity" as the truth, was made by the institution and imposed on its staff, so only those in charge can correct it (and thus are to blame). The second mistake is making a woman (or even a not-very-strong man) a prison guard and expecting her to be able to perform her duties. That is mostly her own fault. What in the world were they or she thinking?

They better hope we don't decide that China inflicted the virus on us deliberately. Because that would be an act of war using a weapon of mass destruction.

What is your opinion of thedonald.win? by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]RatMan29 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

td.win was created by one of the moderators of r/t_d. However, I would guess fewer than half the users of r/t_d have migrated there. Some object to the fact that the moderator considered putting advertising on td.win (I haven't been there recently enough to know if he actually did). Others, including me, just think that td.win, like r/t_d for at least the last two years, is so aggressively moderated that we can't do anything useful there.

There is an s/The_Donald here, and it seems more lively and less regimented than either of the above.

There are also lots of subs, both on reddit and elsewhere, that are at least partly spinoffs of t_d and are not as tightly moderated. At least one is invitation-only. There are also several patriots' groups on Gab that I find useful. YMMV, but the right and even the alt-right (which I am not part of, but I see their stuff from time to time) are far from being silenced.
