4chan's best quality has always been its freedom of speech. If there so happens to be someone, or many someones, whose opinion offends your delicate sensibilities, you have to argue with them, ignore them, or find a new site to post on. 4chan has always been a mixed bag, politically.

Stop being a stereotypical crybaby leftist and grow some balls.

>> No.3174579

Firing squads are the only way the left can inflict its totalitarian agenda on free people. Just look at modern history. The only way the left has been able to take power and hold onto power is thru bloodshed and terror. Too many people don't like being told what they can say or think.

Report and ignore where you can, but you can't reform any part of this site or much of the internet at all aside from speaking the truth and hoping something sticks.

I once took a class with a white anti-Apartheid activist who was jailed for his association with a communist revolutionary cell. Somehow the topic got onto political correctness. He told us it was one of the worst -- if not the worst -- trait of the contemporary left.

Back in the 70s, he trained at a communist-backed camp in northern Africa. His comrades were from all over the world: different races, genders, ethnicities, etc. Instead of enforcing strict rules against teasing and stereotyping, the communists encouraged it. Everyone was prodded to make fun of everyone else.

By the end of the training, everyone had gotten past their preconceived biases. They still teased each other, but like brothers.

My teacher said that this is what wimpy PC liberals don't understand: by thoughtlessly quashing people's natural inclination to discriminate, it just represses their biases; it forces them them bury their feelings, and invariably leads to factionalism and segregation -- only because it's easier for people to hang out and talk freely with "their own" than to hang with those who are different and deal with the stress of accidentally offending someone.

tl;dr -- identity politics + PC culture =/= leftism

>> No.3174750

This is why I hate liberals. They don't look at a problem and ask, "How can I fix this?" They look at a problem and tell you how awful it is, and how awful you are for attempting a potentially painful solution.

Everyone on the left agrees that there is hatred between groups. The difference is that PC liberals actively split people into victimized minorities, then attempt to "empower" them by enforcing universal bans on speech and humor.

Another approach -- a more painful approach, but one that actively pushes people into seeing past the sting of name-calling -- is to level the playing field, stop catering to people who seek perverse privilege in competing for "the most downtrodden minority" award, and get them working together for a common good.

Does anyone else have a problem with the rogue mod that appears to be residing here? Ever since moot called for more janitors I keep getting bans for really trivial shit (pic related is the latest). And i have noticed quite a few dead green links so I presume other people are receiving these bans too.

The one before this was for a post that wasn't directly related to the OP question, and the one before that was for ponies, even though I have never been to mpl or posted a pony. I seem to be getting about 2 bans a month, while other posts, far worse than anything I post seem to stay.

I fully expect to be banned for this post too:
