Once again people are both sidesing this. Once again they don’t care who started it and are threatening to ban both sides.
Nobody gave a damn when I basically called this starting up again a few days ago with more or less a “here we go again” post when churchill took a random shot at me.
I said nothing else, just pointed it out. I didn’t flag it but that’s basically churchill tip toeing as close as he can to the line of re-doxxing me without quite doing it. But I left it alone other than pointing it out, and shockingly it was a couple days later that more members of the clique took aim out of nowhere.
Then I share my view on the c-word and the line of logic used to defend it, while partially agreeing with Marty on some points and leading off with the agreement in a show of good faith, but when I point out that his line of logic is MAGA-adjacent, the personal attacks and insults start being slung at me by the clique. Then it’s “fuck your feelings” and “go fuck yourself you self aggrandizing arsehole” and “fuck off you ■■■■■■ and jman’s a racist. I flagged some stuff and 75% of the flags were ignored/rejected.
I’m pretty sure the closest I’ve come to a personal attack is pointing out the conservative nature and MAGA-adjacent framing of arguments by some of the pro c-word crowd.
Both sides though!
This is pretty simple IMO. Mods need to call balls and strikes. If it gets both sidesed it’s going to happen every few weeks or months. If you think it’s me, start banning me. If you think it’s them, start banning them. If you think it’s jman, start banning him.
If you don’t care who it is, make a containment thread and ban anybody who references it elsewhere.
If all of that is too complicated either permaban all people involved or accept that this is never going to stop. The half measures are a waste of time. It’s better to have a ref blowing some calls from time to time than never blowing the whistle at all while imploring both sides to stop committing so many penalties.
This. Also…
What if he prosecuted white collar crime? Murder? Internal affairs cases? Nobody knows what he prosecuted. A good prosecutor in internal affairs is doing the lord’s work. A good prosecutor for white collar crime or murder cases has little/nothing to do with the racism inherent in other parts of the system.
We could argue that the injustice elsewhere leads to life situations that precipitate other crime that is then prosecuted without direct racism, but if that’s the case is it immoral to prosecute literally any crime? Like if you’re arguing that any and every prosector is morally liable for racism, you must also be advocating for the abolition of the prosecution of any and all crimes right?
