Try contextualizing him against such a backdrop. Trump is not the cause, he's the symptom.

they aren’t mutually exclusive, he is certainly both.

Ways in which he's the cause: grab the pitchforks, you're right. Ways in which he's the symptom of something bigger: ten pages on language, ten pages reinterpreting what you just said, ten pages on topic B ... and going. The forum's got a problem with it. I expect in another couple thousand it'll still have a problem with it.


going on 200+ years, so yeah, probably going to be an issue for many pages to come.

We should go back to not talking about it like we did in the in the 1990-2000s. Not like that has been a huge part of the problem to begin with.

I have a question: how often do you guys type something up intending to post it in the thread, spend a while writing it, finish it, and then just decide "nah"? I think that happens to over half of my posts.

Sowjets also did the exact same shit btw. Only apparently not even every day, only to special occasions. It is still disgusting nationalistic indoctrination of the youth in my opinion.

It took just four short posts to go from the pledge of allegiance to full blown "look at the surface level similarity to HITLER and STALIN!" It would be funny if it weren't dangerous.

Sad thing is, the Europeans who are so quick to cry fascist at everything that moves are unwilling to draw attention to genuine fascism when it comes up. I don't doubt this utter lack of perspective will be lost on the individuals I am talking about.

Nobody here needs lessons on fascism from a Putin shill, thanks.

Yours were the only shitposts in that discussion. But the irony of a statist Russian insisting that he is the only individual with a true perspective on fascism and that the multiple Germans disagreeing with him were all wrong was palpable.

Kwark's posting has been remarkably bad -- even by his standards -- over the past couple of days. Three pointless "lol" posts in row was just the beginning of it. Anyone else would have been banned already.

I'm kinda shocked you were not warned for telling GH to go back to Africa if he agreed with a black writer. Surprises all around.

I wonder how long it will be until RiK is banned. he's lasted longer than usual it seems; of course his posting is still useless and nonsensical and degrades the thread, but he hasn't done the kind of extreme stuff that actually gets you banned yet.

PS I'm not reading the stuff in here, just commenting.

User was warned for this post
Great read: http://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-2016-general-election/ great book on democracy: http://press.princeton.edu/titles/10671.html zlefin is grumpier due to long term illness. Ignoring some users.

Someone made a post saying something like if Trump manages to do x, y, and z, his presidency would be a success, it might have been Danglars but I'm pretty sure it was Legal, anyway our moderator's unique and thoughtful contribution was to quote the post and say "no."

I don't recall saying that but it does fall within the scope of my style. "X, y, and z" would probably have had to been "end the EU" though. I haven't framed it that way in months though.

I think you are refering to legals posts about the job grade of trump and kwark posting "no" in response. Regardless it wouldnt be acepted for anyone else but he used to put more effort into them before trump.

The reason I had asked is because it sure looks like an awful lot of condescending back and forth that only serves to make the other guy look bad

I cant even remember the last time I saw someone try to understand the other guys point of view or learn from what they are saying. It seems to me to be a remarkable amount of talking down to others in tones that make me nauseous. I regularly see this from members of the mod staff as well.

I have no proposal to remedy what I see as a flaw here, but I am curious if anyone else shares my view on this

Most people post like shit without even realizing they post like shit. This has become the new norm. An unfortunate reality that we live in a political climate where this is acceptable and what we have is actually still well above average.

While legitimately keeping up with the thread is a lofty task in itself, I guarantee you that even within the past week, folks had amicable discussions on a host of topics, division of authority between feds/local police and gentrification being two good examples. While I can't fault folks for not reading every page of a thread that can easily grow a dozen pages in a day, I'd wager that "I can't remember the last time I saw someone try to understand the other guy's point of view..." ends up being pretty hyperbolic if one actually reads through what's being discussed, particularly on the margins of the more bloviate-heavy topics a la racism.

And as LL said, the condescension and hostility is very much a reflection of the times and having looked rather thoroughly elsewhere though the web relative to calmer political discussion waters, I think one would be hard pressed to find political discussions elsewhere even remotely as well-moderated as TL.

That all said, there's always room for improvement

The mods that don’t get warned and can’t be reported is one of the reasons I’ve accepted the new de-facto thread standards. There’s no point crusading for a return to civility if the untouchables won’t self-limit or be talked to behind the scenes.

And despite all that, like farva said, behind the trolling you actually find the real contentions and personal views.
