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

>>32482 (samefag)
fwiw I just tried to upload files to different threads and the policy seems coherent

Why is Tor image-posting suddenly removed for siberia? I don't recall a ton of spammers recently.

anarkiddies are leaking because the /leftpol/ containment board doesn’t exist anymore

isn’t it weird how supposed oldfags cry about tankies but never mention /leftpol/ or /marx/ or all of the other offshoots?

>>32477
90% of Nazi civilian casualties happened when they started losing from 1944 onwards. Remember that there was a Nazi proletariat and Soviet bourgeousie. Funny how tankies always supported the slaughter of civilians because they were born in the wrong country. So much for proletarian solidarity and class consciousness, they are just brown-red fascists.

And let’s talk about Wehrmacht troops and even SS, weren’t they all not also proletarian? Think about it. Dirlewanger brigade and Mengele too could’ve been reeducated and put into use to save children! Such a waste of talent, but like always multipolarists and tankies are just supporting capitalist states like they allied with the USA, UK and France against the supposed Nazi baddy, yeah right.

>>32493
Well they weren't nazi proles, they were proles that were unfortunate enough to live under nazi rule.

Soldiers aren't proles tho, they're petit bourgs: as in they work on a contract / commission rather than conventional employment. Though personally I don't think that matters much.

>>32470

Kautsky supported one imperialist side in an interimperialist war. Campist is a trot slur for people who supported the "socialist camp" meaning the USSR during the cold war with the US. The USSR was communist. China is communist. Being in the socialist camp is good.

I feel like making the markup commonmark markdown would be helpful for this. Hate forgetting that double * is spoiler on here, not bold.

>>32488
get filtered, redditoid

>>32489
Markdown is one of the most popular markup languages in existence. It's trivial to implement a flavor that doesn't use "Reddit spacing"
This is like sticking with HTML formatting for no reason. There could even be an optional checkbox to activate Vichan-flavored markdown. Idk why nobody else instantly comes up with perfect software ideas like me. I guess we can't all be perfect and wise in the ways of the world and humble like me, sadly.

>>32489
I didn't even know reddit used markdown, thanks to having never used reddit.

sometimes a mod might see this thread first

It’s back up please take it down

it looks like they're posting it on /games/ now with an OP image trying to seem less suspicious

the game controller in the pic made me grin

As a fellow Greek i want this flag as well!

Great idea

Add the burger already. To siberia at least.

Add this Ba'athist flag

Find a single "non-politically" focused site that's not filled to the brim with liberals/fascists, the number of leftist sites are in single digit numbers or too irrelevant while rightist sites have just continued on with some mild relevance. I really hate to be pessimistic, but leftism is probably dying/dead on the internet and with this site it's exacerbated due to imageboards dying aswell. Anyone that has a brain focuses on reality, but the internet could've been a useful tool for us.

I think the worst blunder in this site's history was when oldBO suddenly took the board too seriously and handed out bans left-and-right to everyone who didn't share their special snowflake ideology, putting an end to the early era where a good chunk of the userbase had diverse ideologies and - more importantly - wore ideology flags. Using flags in that way was both a great way to stimulate ideological discussion and provide context for a given post, and also a novel way of using imageboards in-general (more anonymous than thread IDs, tripcodes, or nationality flags, but still with a single public identifying mark.) That could've been our unique selling point, but once it was kneecapped flags have become an essentially vestigial feature, a way for one or two users to tripflag.

It lead to and meshed perfectly with "made by x gang" - if you want to understand the depths of the board's failure to meet its potential, look at the popularity of that meme and then cross compare it with the popularity of the board itself. /leftypol/ was once culturally relevant in a certain segment of the internet and culturally vital on its own board, and this could have - and for a period did - lead to a positive feedback loop of relevance bringing in more people, which lead to more OC, which in turn lead to more relevance. Now it's done, now you can forget making an image macro - I'd barely think it was worth making this post if I wasn't in love with the sound of my own voice.
yes, yes, being on 8chan helped a lot because it brought in /pol/, but "made by X gang" clearly worked better in the context of /leftypol/-to-/leftypol/ posting, rather than /pol/-rading-leftypol

>>32419
While the right has some overall structural advantages (it's much easier to use rightism to justify base selfishness, cruelty, etc, leftism is handicapped by a certain sincere belief in bettering life for all) you should keep in mind that it's also simply astroturfed. 4chan is mainly administered by RapeApe, who gets paid $4,000 and is on the record as pushing /pol/ shit.

>>32418
The imageboard is only a dying format because its yoked to 4chan and -chan cultuPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Great post.
>Liberalism must pretend to be serious and realistic, to be the "adult in the room", leftism allows you to show off that you care about others while still having fun by grabbing some lib's post and telling them Stalin would've had them all shot. It lets you play culture wars without being fucking boring (liberals) or fucking lame (rightists), with an added little bonus of letting you be as intellectual or anti-intellectual as you like.
It might not be noticeable to a lot of us, but the majority of people are apolitical, whether it's on the internet or in real life most recognize that liberals and other rightists are usually quite incoherent and artificial in their thoughts, a leftist can have a lot of fun and thoughtful conversations with others thanks to this fact as our worldviews are closer to humanity's in general. Even when we have to spend time with an open liberal/rightist, as long as they are more moderate you can usually choose and agree on atleast one thing with them and discuss something, perhaps poke fun at each other and the like, it kind of makes one feel like a centrist despite being a commie, quite ironic.

>>32357
>ban anybody who supports voting
I agree!

We know why you pathetic democrats play enlightened centrist. You sneaky electoral-denialist conservatives just want to discourage the proletariat from removing Biden from office!
>>32331
You can cite anything Trump did, but Bidler did it 1000x more or worse.

The MAGA struggle defies electoralism, but that does not mean that not voting all at doesn't mean that you're not just a democrat. A third party vote is, in effect, just a vote for Bidler. All dissent to Biden's (the bourgeoisie's) greatest threat should be banned.

>>32339
Anyway, I woke up and already knew there would be no essay on american politics. For me, it's Copmala. The way to electoral success (destabilization) is for Trump and Biden to both croak and the ascend of Copmala. I have nothing to base this on. Negative dialectics.

why is she talking to an 'a'?

> it should utilize a unique crossboard function where any webms or embeds you open in /music/ will play over other boards. This way people can visit music to play music and listen to it on loop, perhaps with a thread playlist feature, where it'll cycle through all the things posted within a single /music/ thread.
It's called having multiple tabs open.

Having side boards at all on a site with only 100 users is kind of…

>>32383
Reducing the number of tabs i have to keep open is the whole idea thoughever alongside incentivizing piracy. I usually have 4 or more tabs open with different porn sites so i prefer to minimize the number.

>>32385
>Reducing the number of tabs i have to keep open
You should almost never have more than 10. Anyone who has more should clean their room.
>I usually have 4 or more tabs open with different porn sites
That's called an addiction, and it's bad for your health.

>>32386
>You should almost never have more than 10. Anyone who has more should clean their room.
Well, it's also a sign that they might just not know how other tools like bookmarks/favorites, RSS feeds and the like work. So many tabs should just be RSS feeds.

Is this a new banner? Loved it

Russell Texas Bentley died. Someone make a banner to honor him.

News to my ears. Source? The only thing that I recall being similar to this claim is the village blacklisting, which was applied to a minority of a minority (ie functionally a rounding error) https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/review-of-anne-applebaums-red-famine-stalins-war-o

How about, instead of tagging a random set of users, you automatically tag mod posts? Autoname them to 'Based [$name]' or whatever, I don't care. That would be far more insightful and helpful to the community, especially when most mods are too lazy or neglectful to capcode.

One of the main features of images boards is anononymity.
Also the system doesn't know who is a mod if they don't login.

>One of the main features of images boards is anononymity.
Yes, but the staff has already decided the site don't care about that lol.
>Also the system doesn't know who is a mod if they don't login.
And that's fine.
