Not really corporatist, and can't comment on syndicalism.

The aim of distributism is to ensure that land, trade and industry is owned by many private owners, instead of the few. Encourages self-reliance and pride in your work.

I mean, there’s overlap between corporatist (not to be confused with the colloquialism corporatocracy, which is better described as plutocracy or kleptocracy), distributist, and syndicalist thought.

Corporatism, particularly fascist corporatism, involves the control of the economy by industry-specific corporations. While distributist guilds echo that role to a degree, the ultimate emphasis is on small private farms/tradesmen/businesses, whereas in fascism corporations helped centralise the economy. As I've said before, I'm not too knowledgeable of syndicalism left or right.

Looking at the 1950s with selectively-rose-tinted glasses because of a single painting of a white nuclear family being happy, with a clear and obvious emphasis placed on the men themselves, however, does present a good deal of underlying tones. You can't separate the good from the bad for an entire era if you're trying to specifically present that era as something such as a time when America wasn't hell. At best, ND's post is willfully ignorant and at worst it's quite literally deviously supportive of the sufferings almost everyone in America had to endure through racism, sexism, and hate based on religious beliefs or ideological views so that the average white men could live well.

Yeah, to idolize the 50s you do have to sweep a lot under the rug, but Torra was jumping to conclusions a bit.

I won't deny, the 50s were oppressive times for a lot of people, but simply posting a picture of the 50s doesn't mean you're okay with the oppression. And I didn't notice the male emphasis.

I just noticed it was edited.

The original was in here, caught by this post:

Our decline started right around the time we let feminists diminish the importance of the nuclear family and idolize single mothers.

Family is the basis of everything.


All the same, the whole implication of ND's post revolves around this idyllic representation of the 1950s, and to present that, he only bothers to show an image that idealizes white nuclear families and literally nothing else. It ignores literally everything else to present this image that things were okay because white people had it good.

Over in moderation, though they don't accept third party appeals or anything.

I wouldn't really bother though, most of the mods have a pretty open bias and if you don't fall on their side you're shit outta luck.

It's not really an appeal, just to complain at the incredibly obvious bias which depicts statements that communists threaten virtuous social order as "trolling". For the one thing, I doubt they'd be so discerning on similar statements about fascism, and for another, it is completely true. Communists want to overturn the current social order, and most things that are virtuous are religious or traditional and we know what communists think of that!

Dunno about that, I got a warn for saying Nazis were bad before. Moderation is pretty scattershot; I don't think it has the consistency for a coherent bias.

Jack, you'd be debating with a section of this site that just warned someone over stating their belief that communists destabilize society but saw nothing wrong with another poster linking to an article about how to properly fuck your slave(s). Even with posters who have survived rape chiming in about how fucked up and distressing it was/is. That is the level of absurdity you would be dealing with.

Don't cry because it's coming to an end, smile because it happened.

Some guy said Nazis were going to rise up all across Europe and create a tidal wave, and I said in response I was game for WW2 2 Electric Boogaloo. When someone asked if I meant violence, I said yes, the kind where you put on a uniform and adhere to the Geneva Conventions.

I don't have a hate boner towards moderation, but the looser the rules, the more 'in sync' the enforcers need to be to consistently apply them, and that's not really possible with a team of volunteers who took up the job on a lark.
