FEDIT POLITICS Thread

Can I give you some advice blazer.
From one blazer to another.
Don't fear getting flamed.
No fear.
Fear weakens you to covid.
And things worse.
People are scared.
Don't be a bitch.
Just be tender which isnt the same.
But show them whose best.
When you see them flash fangs like a beast.
Is when you gotta put them to the test
Before they put you to the question.
So open up the gas on your torch.
And light up the way.
Ill be right behind you blowing aqua seafoam shame.
Like a red myrmidon sending these loose furs back to lady venus.
Extinguishing fire so mars can rest pacific.
And put his sword back in her sleeve.

This is the third or fourth time this past week or so I read someone back off of speaking their mind out of fear of upsetting any perceived agenda here.
Fuck that shit.
If we are becoming an echo chamber fuck that.
If there is a chilling effect going on here fuck that.
If a form of nativists DSP political correctness is being felt by anyone then fuck that.
Ill burn this shit to the ground first.
So stop censoring yourselves on the grounds that your speech will be deemed offensive to the majorities perceived political bias.
Because fuck that shit.

 

This is dsp though.
Here being a bitch is about avoidance.
The only way dsp is gonna exist is if people don't avoid it. Literally.

If people avoid it because they feel that their views are problematic and triggering then that's a chilling effect.
What I'm telling you is to say what you want to say and don't worry about others taking it in whatever way you can't control.
You have the right to avoid.
But I would like the help in keeping dsp healthy.

 

Did DSP forget to take it's pills when that nasty rash showed up again?

 

I think some of the more conservative members here have been giving guys like you and BlueMouse a hard time lately and I was trying to make the point that you guys don't need to feel that you can't post what you want to post.
I really don't like some of the things they say about the liberal members of the forum.
I have no problem with you. All the contrary.
I was trying to have your back because I don't like it when I feel one group is beating on another.

I like healthy open and free discourse.
And healthy means that the guys that are louder in their opinion do not become so aggressive that they make those that are not as loud start swallowing their tongue. Because if you see something you want to react to but then you don't because you can't because its not worth it because its DSP then there is a problem with the health of DSP and thats like the only time I ever step in to do some moderating.

But fuck it man, if you think this place sucks anyway and i try to pit people against each other to cause more conflict to keep the site alive maybe I should give you permission to find a better baseball forum since as you say its all just politics now anyway.
In case you havent heard forums are dying so you maybe should want to find a dodgers podcast or something more cutting edge. They do a lot of great things to engage their audience to keep them from leaving.
Not DSP.
It is insulting to our heritage for someone to claim that anyone here would ever do something with the intent to keep the site alive.
We do the opposite.
Are you new or something?

 

Looks like.
But it looks like the vaccine makes the patient kick the nurse.
And the nurse is a little ratchet today.

 

I don't like it either.
It gets personal real fast.

 

am i a retard who thinks this time its 'for real' or the 'big one' or the 'final time' but doesnt this kind of shit happen every 70 years or so since the beginning of time?
You know when the younger groups get together at the behest of one of the elders who has convinced them that they can take their inheritance as the leaders of the world from their elders before their elders pass over the river because the younger groups are at their strongest/weakest after 3/4 generations of de-evolution that gets reset ever jubilee sabbath 70th year of years and they want their crowns now and don't want to wait because they have no attention spans and have been given the strong delusion that the world is over and they will never get their chance to be kings so they want it all and they want it now and they believe they have the power and the elders are too weak of wit for their sagacity to catch up with the speed of the youths riding on the dragons tail.
Thats why every myth has two sets of gods that break down as angelic youth and divine parents or rebellious hellions and evil parents for cycles and cycles until the chain is broken by one of the Links with full hearts.

 

no you are going the wrong way too

I dont want members to self censor their political views or their opinions because they feel peer pressured to do so
I dont want members to avoid talking about them
I dont want members to check out
I dont want members to get all butthurt or triggered over others politics
I dont want members to justify personally attacking someone over politics

I mean folks gonna do what they wanna do but I am just making clean what I dont want.
So people dont think I want some bullshit that I fucking hate.

 

Or maybe some people just don't always feel like arguing.

I'm probably guilty of being argumentative here more than I should.

But there's some people I'd like to have discussions with because I respect their opinions and they have different views than I do, but it gets drowned out in vitriol.

 

No its not.
Healthy is everyone saying what they want to say without being douchebags and everyone being cool.
This isnt a 'public' site.
Yes its out on the public internet but the membership culls itself of bad health.
I called you a bitch in a way that you didnt get. It wasnt antagonistic and well there's no point explaining it but it had nothing to do with you deleting your post.
Either you get it or you dont. Its whatever.
I was trying to get a point across to the other posters that it kinda looks like bullying and that I dont want anyone bullied into shying away.
Bro why would I want you to leave, we always get along just fine.
You taking shit the wrong way.
You need to learn to catch these turns on the road my man.
This isnt about you not wanting to get in an argument or about you deleting your post or about any one specific situation.
I don't care about that specific post.
It is more about the theme of wanting to let you know that I see whats going on and why you felt you needed to delete your post and remind you that you shouldnt have to feel that way, your posts or opinions are just as valid to be heard without fear of angry personal attacks by other members who are offended.
I swear I should have picked a different post, I might have had better luck with Blue Mouse.
Honestly though I thought you would really roll with me and understand where I was coming from.
I was looking out for you.
It don't matter if you asked me to or not.
Or if you like it.
You are on DSP.

 

You are not getting it still.
Its not about that post.
You not wanting to get into an argument is not just good its fucking great.
Please, lets get on the same page on what reality is here.
You really think anything goes on DSP?
You think anyone is getting away with any vile BS?

We all know who you are talking about.
Dudes not even present and you are invoking him so he shows up angry and ready to attack you for calling him a fluffer.
This is how I blink without shutting my eye.
By calling attention to the matter within the threat out in the open so we can all talk about it like dudes.
Not send someone a PM saying 'hey, be nice' like if im his mom or you telling me to tell him to 'knock it off' which we all acknowledge you didnt do.

This isnt the fucking state.
This is the church.
And we don't let anyone come in and fuck us over.
We fuck with ourselves.
Until the vibe is right.
We correct ourselves because we all are prone to wreck ourselves once in a while if not for our allies being around to check us for our own sake.
