A potential force for our cause, our own useful idiots. Great, great.
Well, either that, or dead weight. A bunch of freaks that will chase away more reasonable people.
Perhaps even by design, after all they can't spam Poal with tranny porn the same way 4chan is spammed with tranny porn. And we just learned that the FBI is using paranoid schizophrenics to frame the alt-right. Perhaps they thought that instead of turning them into terrrorists, it's more effective to teach our world view to mentally ill people, as the association with mentally ill idiots causes more harm and than being associated with terrorism (after all, being associated with terrorism didn't stop Islam from getting stronger). Just a thought.
How do you want us to sort them out? And by "us" I also include you
They aren't calling for violence/murder/terrorism, they aren't spamming the board with illegal stuffs, they aren't pushing antiwhite narrative... They have their opinions, which are what they are
I mean, if we start to exclude anyone giving into conspiracy theories and weird shits in general... There won't be much people left here, and it's going to be pretty boring
Humiliation.
It seems as if people forgot that this place here is a free speech platform. What even is the purpose of free speech if not to openly criticize and mock stupid beliefs?
People became afraid to mock and insult people who share even a fraction of their beliefs. That takes out all the fun of free speech. This place has at times more virtue signalling than reddit. Threads about publicly praying for god emperor Trump are just the same shit as changing your profile picture to another country and posting "thoughts and prayers", is it not?
But unlike twitter and reddit, you can mock those people here. Yeah, it's still uncomfortable to go against the grain and it's how I earned my NPC badge. But at least I'm not shadowbanned and if I wanted to stay silent in the face of delusional people I'd might as well go back to Twitter and Reddit.
And ever since I started doing that I feel like I can observe a slight change on poal's frontpage.
"thoughts and prayers"
mocking thoughts and prayers, as a phrase, has been a hallmark of communist retards pretending to be anything except communist retards. It's so common it's a dead giveaway.
A lot of us did and still do that, but it has its technical limitations for a start; a sub owner is pretty much a king in his kingdom... So at best you can only quarantine them in their subs by calling them out every time they go out of their reservation, but even then they can just block you and they aren't going to see what you say...
The worst of them get weeded out overtime, and the remaining ones tend to evolve positively. Take qstorm for instance. It's no longer the loon festival it used to be, there are good posts, good press review
Sure they still trust-the-plan-patriots-secretly-in-charge-and-shit, but that's qstorm so... Yeah you'll get some of that, but not only
