Excellent article. She is so obviously a 'pay-to-play' (bribe) politician that she should be challenged every time she engages in this corruption. She's also quite famously a traitor to her Party, taking money for her GOP votes on a regular basis. If only there were a way to impeach these corrupt politicians who work only for bribes.

Absolutely. The terms are: give Russia a 5th of your country (in addition to Crimea and the 1000s of kids who were kidnapped), or Putin continues sending soldiers to the slaughter, bombing Ukraine to rubble, additional war crimes, and raping, murdering and displacing millions of innocent civilians. It's not a peace deal. It's a hostage situation.

Yes - it's expected to be permanent to anyone who gets the notice; and for the long period thereafter, the automoderator ban remains active, with absolutely no indication of a reversal of that turtle tax.

I'm seeing a major trend at WatB that many of the regular users don't want visitors to undertand WatB's approaches.

That's an incredibly broad assumption, and this example by the OP is ridiculous:

It's not intellectual, it's not honest, and it's not a crime.

The lady claiming that someone was murdered by gender ideology is obviously wrong and promoting obvious misinformation, whether she's aware of it or not.

Reddit doesn't have to support the spread of misinformation, nor should it. The content policy is in place to reduce the overtaking ot Reddit by very active, highly funded, misinformation propaganda engines, some of which are run by boomers collecting disability checks while criticizing the liberals who've made possible the disability checks. (Reduce funding for the disability programs and some of this misinformation sharing would go away, while the disabled are forced to find jobs.) This post is a very good reason for the existence of Reddit's content policy.

I've been a Reddit WotB member for years - since the time Bernie campaigned (I helped him) - and still knew nothing of the turtle tax, types of bans, inside jokes, what's considered 'dickish' particularly at WatB, &c. A couple years ago I unsubscribed because it had been overrun with misinformation that's spread by the right and/or the 1% perhaps 4 years go. There have been some concerns on the sub that relate to Bernie. And I know that Trump's PR fooled people into believing that he was an outsider, somewhat like Bernie, and thus many Bernie voters were fooled into voting for Trump (who helped push the GOP agenda, as their puppet, harder than ever. I and others knew Bernie was unelecable after the DNC did not support him, and then Hillary failed to campaign properly, while also worrying potential voters. Trump got the anti-abortion vote, which was arguably the main message that turned Christo-fascist voters in his favor. But I digress.) Anyhow: I've visited WatB for years and didn't know what I've learned in the past few days about the sub.

bootylicious · 2023-06-24T00:33:35+00:00

It is permanent, according to the information sent to the user who is required to like turtles. There is no indication anywhere that this is temporary.

the lack of democraticness in our democracy

Yes - it sucks. We can agree it sucks. We can march in the streets and complain about it. Happy to do so.

What I think most readers are seeing here is an anti-democracy message, in general.

Here's the rub: since the start of democracies in ancient Greece there have been ways of criticizing approaches to all of them. They all have had problems. Not everyone is fairly represented in most democracies, historically.

Her article fits a series of anti-democracy complaints, especially from those who want voters to avoid voting or to throw their votes away on RFK Jr. or similar.

Her article would be much more appreciated if it noted something useful, something she recommends for the voter, something that will work in the US for most voters. I have a few ideas, but you've likely read them.

We would want solutions to the problems in the very limited democracy in the US government: "a federal republic and a representative democracy with three separate branches of government. It has a bicameral national legislature composed of the House of Representatives, a lower house; and the Senate, an upper house based on equal representation for each state."

I think we have to work with what we have.

Yeah because the reckless and pointless expansion of NATO isn't a thing.

NATO has been a necessary response to Russian aggression and the nuclear threat, OBVIOUSLY. WTF.

We've been the aggressor against Russia for 30 years, but that isn't a thing either.

While Russia did NOTHING as aggressors to other countries? How fucking delusional is that?

We looted the former Soviet Union the instant it collapsed, allowing and even encouraging apparatchiks and crimelords to flee the country and transfer their bank accounts to the West, letting services, industry, and employment collapse in their wake, causing widespread alcoholism, drug addiction, and skyrocketing abortion, but these are not things.

False - there was NOTINNG to loot.

The bipartisan use of Ukraine as a money-laundering service for the American political elite and their useless spawn, the vicious genocidal war waged by Kiev against the people of the Donbas, the idiot CIA's Maidan coup, none of these are things.

Corruption in Ukraine is a very complex topic, related especially to pre-2014 Russian corruption in Ukraine. It's a problem that takes a long time to address. And the CIA claims are absollute nonsense. And money laundering happens in many countries.

US-funded biolabs on Russia's border are another non-thing.

More disinformation from Russia, obviously. All countries have labs. All of these labs are relatively harmless. Really stupid to assume that you know what's happening in a lab, unless you have direct evidence.

The Democrats' insane Russiagate hoax, rejecting Putin's overtures and throwing them back in his face for decades, our use of Nazi catspaws against his country, NOT THINGS.

Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections has been proven many times. WTF.

Canceling an election while "fighting for democracy," however, this is definitely a thing. A necessary thing. Just like jailing priests, and banning opposition parties and confiscating their assets.

Doesn't make any sense.

How are you even real?

How do you support millions of innocent Ukrainians are being bombed, displaced, raped, tortured, and murdered by Putin's war criminals, only because the criminals want to do it, and for no other reason? You'd rather believe the obvious lies you mention here than see what Putin's war criminals are doing? WTF is wrong with you?

That opinion is that the distribution of booster shots, as well as deaths were somehow in similar peaks and troughs, which is impossible.

Thank you, but this:

Here is the admission that the Ukrainian labs are very far from harmless, and at a minimum contain hazardous material that can be used as a biological weapon

Is false.

So do bio labs exist inside Ukraine, and is the US supporting them?

Yes, and yes. Ukraine does operate biological laboratories that receive US funding. The US undersecretary of state Victoria Nuland affirmed those facts in a Senate foreign relations committee hearing this week, in which the Republican senator Marco Rubio asked directly if Ukraine had biological weapons.

Nuland did not answer the question head on. “Ukraine has biological research facilities,” she said, adding that there was concern that Russian forces were trying to gain control of the labs. “We are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces.”

Nuland’s comments were seized upon by far-right commentators as evidence of a secret plot. In fact, US funding to the laboratories had its roots in the fall of the Soviet Union, after which money was pumped into Ukraine and other countries to help them transfer scientific skills away from weapons towards public health.

The scheme was originally known as Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) but is now more commonly referred to as biological engagement. It has been successful in helping former Soviet and other countries fulfill public health obligations.

“This is one of the best things that we do,” Dr Gigi Gronvall, senior scholar at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told the Guardian.

Most of the work of the Ukraine labs today, Gronvall said, involves surveillance of diseases in animals and people as an early-warning system for illnesses such as African swine fever, which is endemic in the region.

“We know pathogens don’t respect borders, so helping to put out public health fires before they become too big is an advantage to all of us,” she said. Do the Ukraine laboratories store dangerous biological agents?

As part of their work the labs do seem to hold dangerous pathogens. We know that because WHO is urging Ukraine to destroy any highly dangerous agents to avoid the risk of a disastrous outbreak should one of the labs be hit by Russian forces.

This is an ADDITIONAL reason Russian should not invade Ukraine, or continue bombing civilian buildings.

Nothing in my responses is emotional or compares with your long essays of whining and misinformation. You're depending on disinformation and misinformation in order to support the bombing, displacement, kidnapping, raping, torturing, flooding, and murdering of millions of innocent Ukrainians by Putin's war criminals.

a brigade ensued, and a lot of people left very unhappy and upset while they pretended they were LEEROOOOY MMJENNKINSSSS!!!!

No - not at all what happened.

10 Saiditors commented on the turtle tax, and 3 Saiditors were particularly annoyed, noting how insulting it is and how moderators apply it for obviously frivolous reasons, to attack people who disagree with the WatB hive mind, and the shelled users assume it's a permanent penalty, and thus shelled users do one of two things:

1) Leave (because they don't want to be insulted with the 'I like turtles' tag that identifies them as hated users)

2) Stay on WatB because they have absolutely no self respect.

As we've discussed at length, Inuma, the standard practice is a temporary ban (noting a week or a month), rather than this permanent shelling insult against a user who merely does not agree. (Yes, you note that it's not permanent, but the new user who is shelled is not told that (another example of very bad management). WatB has dwindled from 90,000 subscribers to Saidit's 45 WatB subscribers, half of which are active, partially because of these insults, and also because WatB is mostly devoted to spreading misinformation, as we've seen for years.) Hope this brings people up to date. There was no brigading, by any stretch of the imagination.

Why focus on Biden? Have you ever played chess? Even a pawn can be very important in the game. There are numerous candidates to consider, many of whom need donations and other forms of support, and some of whom are arguably worthy for the job as politician. Step 1: elect new people and get the old ones out. Biden will be the only option if Trump or DeSantis are nominated - its that simple. You can predict now that the DNC will nominate Biden. So, move on, look at other candidates. Work with what's available. Help with the strataegy for your favorite candidates. Because you're in a blue state, your options are of course limited, but I'd argue that you have good Dems to choose from. Replace Pelosi, already, ffs. Discuss this stuff. the 'Democracy bad' argument id dumbing down the discourse. No, we are not powerless. No, voting for a good candidate is not boot licking. Focusing on who will be president is stupid. Focus on congress. They've been the dangerous ones. They corrupted the Supreme Court. They gave themselves and their friends massive handouts while cutting services. They're the ones threatening to cut school lunches for poor kids. They want to use YOUR Social Security money for their tax breaks.

It's just another way to get rid of people you don't agree with, only more insulting, and not temoporary, as are most bans. Out of 90000 previous Reddit subscribers you now have 30 on Saidit (eg. 18 here now), so it's not really worked out for WatB, seems to me. But the real reason 99% of your original subscribers have left is because the sub title leads one to a sub primarily filled with misinformation peddled by the .01% (anti-vax, anti-Ukraine, anti-democracy, anti-government, anti-education, anti-everything, which encourages people to not vote or throw away their votes on unelectable candidates like RFK Jr.).

Sudo is well known in our community for satire. Congratulations for falling for it.

So visitors to WatB should be warned that its posts are not on good faith? Got it.

This shows you're only thinking about what you said, not my responses.

Makes no sense. I responded to all of your points.

For the life of me, I don't understand how being banned is somehow a sense of pride and accomplishment but it makes the point you want us to conform more than anything else.

Also makes no sense. No one is discussing pride.

That's what you're saying.

No

We took ourselves off. So get your facts straight.

How would anyone on Saidit or WatB know that? Most on Saidit seem to assume in the comments that magnora removed WatB from /r/all.

You're a damn liar. Kindly don't try to speak for a community you weren't a part of and didn't watch out grow for years which is the point you're missing.

I've been a Bernie supporter and on WatB (Reddit) since the beginning. I saw the transition from Bernie supporters to the sub overrun by misinformation that serves the right wing. That's the change in 'The Way' you talk about it, and many on Reddit have discussed it. It's been bloody obvious. 95% of your orignal subsribers are long gone, just as a similar percentage are no longer at Saidit. That's also very easy to understand.

Just like you missed the fact that this sub has been around for 5 and we grew it without this weird notion it was somehow different when it's been a part of Saidit just as long.

I didn't miss anything. It's obvious WatB doesn't want to admit to it that's been conned by the anti-democracy, anti-government, anti-science, anti-everyting misinformation and disinformation that's helping the .01% get rich while you don't vote for electable candidates. One of your members noted they're voting Green party, for example. GOP want you to divide the Democrat vote. Green party only have seats in Parliamentary governments.

Yeah... We went through 2016 and 2020 calling that out.

Good - then you know the name of the sub is a hijacking of Bernie's name for the sake of highly paid misinformation propaganda - and thus WatB is entirely unrelated to anything Bernie has worked for (for the 99%) his entire career.

Anyway... I'm moving on. Looks like you came to the same rigid notions and ignored what was stated to come to the same stale conclusions as before.

Doesn't make sense. 'Rigid' does not desribe my arguments that WatB should be less rigid.

None of that has anything to do with this discussion.

Yes it does: "This sub has the most draconian censorship on the internet. I like turtles." IE. WatB can't easily adjust to the /r/all requirements

It's you venting about your situation and trying to have Way people conform to Saidit when they do things differently.

Nothing in my comments can be called 'venting', not in the least. Nor did I tell anyone to conform to anything. I just noted that it would be easy to get onto /r/all . That's it. No skin off my nose.

You're the one coming here to tell us to comply with the rules. Same with Larry the e-peen or Zapped yelling about us instead of sitting down with us to discuss what we do and why and how we can all make this place better.

See my previous comment. Larry is an idiot and Zapped doesn't have much skin in the game. The only one to contact for /r/all is magnora7 . WatB's unfamiliarity with Saidit has resuled in WatB getting kicked off /r/all. I PMed penelopepnortney to let her know I can offer a strategy that would likely work, and I introduced penelopepnortney to magnora7. I have no other interest or role. I am just finding this interesting.

You don't have to like the Turtle Tax, but don't take the words of a 4chan edgelord as gospel when coming to us when we have moderation topics in our sidebar.

Doesn't matter what I think of anything, nor do I know anything about 4chan, other than its existence.

Finally, we're used to being a far larger community than anything on Saidit.

OK...

Before it was closed down, we had 90000 subscribed to the Reddit sub and affiliates had successful growth in their respective subs that we hadn't touched.

90k, most of whom had been subscribed at an earlier time, especially when it was ACTUALLY a sub related to Bernie's politics, and before it turned into a misinformation-sharing site for the right. Saidit has assumulated 40k subscribers, 99% of which are gone now. Saiditors and WatB users can be difficult to get along with, apparently.

Some of us practice diplomacy and take it seriously.

Good

If what you want to do is come to us with conformity, you might as well try to herd cats.

I've not mentioned anything related to conformity. Per the present topic, it's WatB that wants Saiditors to conform to shadowbans on its sub, which got it kicked off /r/all because shadowband are problematic on several levels. There is LESS conformity in /r/all.

But if you want to stay to see us grow, it's up to you. If not, that's your choice.

I'm not important, nor is this about me. I am not a typical Saiditor or WatB user by any stretch of the imagination. I merely like to see how groups are organized and function. I am here for alternative discussions. That's all. I've been at Reddit for 15 years, and Saidit for almost 3 years.

We'll still follow The Way.

Do consider how much 'The Way' at WatB is entirely unrelated to anything Bernie has worked for (for the 99%) his entire career. WatB is primarily supporting the 1%s misinformation propaganda. This is why it's a perfect fit for Saidit. No, it doesn't have to 'conform' to rigid rules. Instead, it has to follow the usual Saidit guidelines like the rest of us, which are not that rigid, nor are admins and mods doing much to restrict speech (unless you call for violance or share porn). That's all I'm saying.

1st comment at Yahoo (fucking Yahoo):

They banned all flags but the US flag, State Flag, POW flag, and one other from being flown on public grounds. They didn't just ban the pride flag.

So their policies agree with Saidit's Murican Taliban policies, and in any event I don't see any problem with limiting the number of flags to just 4 representative examples.

There are at least 6 common mental disorders, and numerous ways to piss off a kid. If I were to say a kid's interest in Barbie dolls caused her suicide because she had Anorexia nervosa or just because she thought she was fat, I'd be wrong, just as wrong if I assumed a kid killed herself because she didn't like not being a boy. It's normally impossible to claim that a person killed her/himself because of ONE problem. The girl you mention required psychological treatment. It's that simple. Her lack of ability to get well is what caused her suicide.

I'm not sure where you've gotten the impression that the "timed" processes take months.

Implementation

125.44 million people

bootylicious · 2023-06-28T14:38:18+00:00

timed government recommendations and campaigns

But the distribution is NOT immediate. Those 'timed' processes take months, so it's a lie to assume that there are any sharp peaks in boosters and deaths.

And the answer one final time: I've made a logic argument.

bootylicious · 2023-06-28T11:39:13+00:00

The evidence was providede by the OP, genuis. It's an illogical argument, as I point out.

I responded

bootylicious · 2023-06-27T17:00:58+00:00

I responded to your attacks. Any other responses from me will only get the same kinds of attacks from you. It's boring.

As I note, nothing excuses Russia's invasion. Your attempts to excuse the invasion reveal that there is nothing redeemable about you.

bootylicious · 2023-06-27T16:43:03+00:00

It's never been anything more than a dumb theory. Look up the facts.

bootylicious · 2023-06-27T16:41:13+00:00

You're falling for a major disinformation campaign funded by pharmaceutical interests.

You linked to misinformation and I told you how it's misinformation. So your response of - 'No You' - is ridiculous.

bootylicious · 2023-06-27T16:14:59+00:00

That's an opinion, not a fact. It's also wrong. Japan has a massive aging population. In 2020, 28.6% of Japan's population was aged 65 years old and over.

The fact that some people still blame Russia for the 2016 election

Hopefully no one thinks it's that simple. CNN and other MSM filled the airwaves and the net with daily reports on what Trump Tweeted, for almost a year before the election, and thereafter. They're equally responsible. Cambridge Analytica also spread misinformation. Trump was also popular with the one-issue voters who wanted the overturning of RvW. And much much more...

bootylicious · 2023-06-26T18:09:04+00:00

That's part of a disinformation campaign led by highly funded anti-vax websites. Search:

japan excess deaths booster shots

Long before November 2021, the last booster shots were taken in other countries. In general, boosters were not necessary in November 2021. Japan did not conduct sufficient COVID studies of the causes of deaths throughout the COVID period and thereafter. It's thus not known at all if causes of death were related to COVID or indeed to booster shots.

A significant nail in the coffin of his presidential campaign: the stupid assumption that a lack of regulation of the corporate abuses of vaccines is somehow addressed by removing all regulation of said companies. I hope he gets A LOT of attention for this, because it will put an end to him taking votes from electable Democrats.

Years ago, Saidit recorded every visitor to a sub by referring to that visitor as a 'reader', adding up to 40k readers over the years for some subs. There have been 19,805 individual visitors to WatB since its creation years ago. And as you correctly note, there have been 54 total readers at WatB since 13 June (15 of whom are currently here).

bootylicious · 2023-06-25T21:44:42+00:00

You posted this in bad faith?

bootylicious · 2023-06-24T19:07:26+00:00

I just did.

You've not asked a question

Better idea: forget about it

bootylicious · 2023-06-24T19:06:31+00:00

not at all

I've merely explained in numerous ways what's wrong with shelling users...

bootylicious · 2023-06-24T18:46:08+00:00

ask a question if you have one

bootylicious · 2023-06-24T17:53:02+00:00

As I noted: To them [shelled users], it's obviously permanent and you're not likely to see them again.

bootylicious · 2023-06-24T17:51:04+00:00

I explained this earlier, and won't explain it again. Essentially, I was at the sub for the period in which it was about this:

not a Bernie Sanders sub but it strives to emulate his WAY of building coalitions with political opponents on those issues where agreement can be found.

I don't know if anyone was 'shelled' at that time.

Within a year or two of the sub's creation it was hijacked by the right-wing misinformation one still sees today. I unsubscribed at that time. The quote above has been entirely untelated to WatB.

bootylicious · 2023-06-24T17:46:03+00:00

Also not in the side panel - or at least I don't see it there. The persistence with this issue - that visitors should automatically, magically understand WatB's unusual shell rules and whatever - indicates to me that those arguing with me about this have some form of autism. If WatB is not explicit regarding shell or ban requirements, they have no argument when shelled users complain.

bootylicious · 2023-06-24T17:38:32+00:00

I don't have to do anything

ask a question if you have one

bootylicious · 2023-06-24T17:14:04+00:00

I know several usernames that are still "shelled".

To them, it's obviously permanent and you're not likely to see them again.

WTF's wrong with you? Why Florida? And if you can't handle the truth, see a shrink. In fact, see a shrink anyway, traitor. (Also - look at how much fellow Saiditors are supporting bucetao6969's post, now with 2 votes, and several comments.)

bootylicious · 2023-06-24T05:58:34+00:00

which is why Saidit can't keep users

bootylicious · 2023-06-24T05:53:05+00:00

That depends on the topic. Yes, much of Saidit agree on a few topics, but they all do that in slightly different ways.

bootylicious · 2023-06-24T05:50:28+00:00

I don't need to note anything. I'm merely commenting, as one does in the comment section.
