Because of? I mean I get this is your opinion but seriously no source, that is just supposed to be really, super obvious?
Hi o/
You can blame Recursive Prophet for inviting me over.
I'll thank Recursive Prophet. Who knows, you might be the sane voice that convinces us they're more than just a footnote to several more important movements that they're a wee (and shrinking) portion of.
Welcome aboard. If you're unbanned over there, avoid saying anything bad about the head inmates. They don't cotton to no bad-mouthing on other boards (unless it's "in good faith", whatever that loaded expression means).
As to your question... the entire board is an example. Look at the number of like-minded individuals they've dogpiled and bullied and banned, just because of some silly-arsed notion that one of the dictators gets into zeep's head. I wouldn't trust most of the mods there to handle electrical appliances, much less to police my thoughts and the input I'm allowed to read.
They do not allow dissent. Not even from people who agree with much of what they're saying and they claim to stand for. "Oh, you're THAT kind of atheist social justice supporter??!! You're outta here."
If you're happy with their small tent philosophy, then maybe you're content with the tiny clubhouse that it's become. And frankly, I think that's all that anyone could really be getting out of the "safe space squared". It's so safe that no new ideas or contrary thoughts are allowed to cross the outer marker and be heard on the home planet.
Just look at the discussion on "allies". I believe it was started by the resident ill-informed socialist, and it makes sense because the consensus that everyone seems to have reached is right out of the Maoist-Stalinist Stupidity Playbook of 1980. "Hey, I know you're some kinda doctor Mr. Representative of Medicins Sans Frontiers, but don't try to tell US how to treat OUR wounds. We grew up here."
And FYI, I've done pro bono work for Medicins Sans Frontiers and for UNICEF. Neither of them asked me to sit in the back of the room, bus tables or carry a tribal leader's bag. Nor did they run me through a litmus test to see if I was their kind of person. They said, "You're here to help? You know heavy lift cargo? Can you help us get the right kind of lighter to get our emergency vehicles into Mogadishu?" Medicins Sans Frontiers has done more good in the last fifteen seconds than the gestalt membership of A+ has done since its inception. And they do actually seem to know how to build an organization and a bit of a "movement". But Setar Prime and Ceepolk Prime are having none of those "experts" or "specialists" - - at least not until they've paid some dues, eh?
I think you'll find that many of us here are actually in agreement as to the importance of many of the issues they claim they stand for. We would just far rather do it without big brother telling us how to speak, think and act.
