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.

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.

You're literally debating with people that took a month to decide whether it's okay to beat and rape your wife. However, they literally just warned someone for saying Communism, an ideology that literally calls for violent revolution and historically killed tens of millions, is destabilizing for society.
I think it's safe to say its pointless for arguing with people with no sense of morality.

As moderation is generally reactive rather than proactive some of the lean comes from what gets reported - in terms of positive action the best thing people can do is get gud at reporting the other side even if that's uncomfortable ideologically.
The mods aren't going to get extra resources to do wholesale proactive sweeps and the left-libs aren't going to stop doing what's working for them - so it's either this or ineptly clutching at pearls.

What have the left-libs been doing exactly?
As much as I cringe at Torra’s childish "no u" style of debating, I don’t actually see her as being malicious or doing this out of spite.

My shitposty banter is pure and innocent in its stupidity, and I'd never use whatever minor back-and-forth that slings from that to spite-report or whatever, because that's utterly fucking stupid, petty, and a waste of time. :3
Obviously I wouldn't put more major or assholish shit under that same umbrella though.

Imagine having ever filed a moderation report tbh.

I just noticed it was edited.
The original was in here, caught by this post:Yusseria wrote: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.

Dividing India into rump states with cores in the old Mughal Empire, Hyderabad, Burma, Baluchistan, etc. etc. would be smarter than dividing them by religious lines. Even recognizing the two-nation theory was a mistake and one that the Indian People are suffering for even to the day.
The two nation theory definitely led to many problems and actually, I recall the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community warned against the creation of Pakistan which could lead to suffering. Basically, the British created a semi-theocracy that now persecutes my community, and is unfair to other minorities.
Why not just keep India as a whole? At least make it a federation of some kind. Granted, today's India is already like that, but it could've really brought everyone from each faith and culture together and to work together for a better country.

I swapped the images out because the first one didn't convey the idea I was trying to discuss. Apologies in that regard.
The 50s set the groundwork for what could have been a far greater American society, and like every decade that preceded it, there were obvious flaws (most of which still exist). The idealized version of it is something to strive for.
