The Ethics Of Teenage Political Opinions

I don’t have enough marijuana to be OK with Jalfrezi trying to tone police the forum.

Your post quoted above is literally the single most negative comment on this site about one of her tweets.

Sure it doesn’t oblige us to talk about it but what’s the harm in making one or two good natured (imo) posts about something that’s trending on twitter?

There is absolutely no way this could be a stable marriage given Kellyannes job and this shit George tweets. Unless the whole family is one giant grift operation, which I suppose is very possible.

“Won’t somebody think of the children?” is not supposed to be used in non ironic fashion.

How many people on 22 started posting/gambling before they turned 18? Hundreds, if not thousands of users. That is so, so much more destructive than the benign dirty laundry of the Conway family.

getting the 15 year old in on it though isn’t cool but if she’s clowning people even her parents and I see the tweet retweeted by someone I’m following and I chuckle, I’m not gonna lose sleep over it being posted by a 15 year old.

given it’s politics in washington DC, this is stable by their standards

doxxing is such cowardly bullshit

Her twitter appears nuked.

Imagine your parents having so much power they can get your account deleted on Twitter.

Twitter: won’t take down nazis but will nuke accounts because rich people ask.

Good outcome.

I really debated writing this post but I think I need to say something before going.

It’s clear from the posting itt, and from other recent “discussions” that I have woefully misjudged my place in this community. I’ve invested a lot of time and mental energy here thinking I was one of the guys.

I got so offended yesterday because champ accused me of something, which I’d hoped at this point, would be so obviously not true based on my history here, that he would have at least gotten some pushback.

I naively thought someone would post something along the lines of “well we know Clovis takes sexual consent matters seriously and is not an idiot so of course he wouldn’t equate child rape and posting tweets”

Instead all champs posts attacking me for doing exactly that are the most liked itt.

It certainly burst my self delusional bubble as to my place here. I mistakenly thought because I was a patron and original member I had a place here of even a tiny bit of respect.

I think there some great things about this community but there are aspects that make it hard to be a proud member as well. I have no doubt I fostered some of the negative aspects too.

The world sucks right now. So bad. And I need to spend my time somewhere that isn’t so mean I guess.

Clovis, I really hope you will reconsider. This forum, while sometimes flawed, is a lone beacon against the sh–t going on in the USA right now. I don’t really understand how everything on this topic went sideways, but I will miss your insights and your analysis and do consider you as one of the guys, and quite frankly, as a founder of this site. I don’t debate well and use your posts (as well as many others) as a bulwark against the huge amounts of right wing derps I experience in Texas. So again, I hope you will reconsider leaving.

Short of group therapy, you probably won’t find friendlier political discussion online than this. Political discussion elsewhere on the internet is equivalent to monkeys throwing feces at each other.

The toxicity of real life is affecting how we all act online. I don’t blame anybody for stepping away and taking a break. It’s certainly an effective way to cope if internet forums are negatively impacting your mental health.

All the best clovis.

Yeah, I was on the end of the doxxing threat as the mod, as was Cuse I believe. I don’t remember the exact content of the pm’s we got, somebody I think claiming to be a lawyer created an account I think to PM me with the threat.
