I don't want to make it too easy; only those worthy of glory can view what I post

It's practically an endearing attribute at this point. <3

I know this just hearsay and some won't believe me, but my good bud IRL is married to a woman whose family is firmly entrenched in the CCP. This a screenshot of their group chat.

***img redacted by CCP***

It has become increasingly difficult for me to discuss the CCP without my bias and hatred getting in the way. The tone of my posts is almost disproportionately aggressive and extreme compared to everyone else on the subforum. American Industry is fleeced by the Chinese to the tune of $600 billion dollars a year and nobody gives a fuck. Okay, then. Okie Dokie, Okie Doke.

America Needs A Nationalist Government.

When a social media giant considers a post like this "hate speech", I feel for anyone who doesn't truly believe (whether they admit it or not) that an agenda is firmly in place.

This clamp down is due to the new administration and plays well for Big Tech and the MSM. This is fucking weird. It doesn't seem like the site wants open discussion anymore. Also, that diary... it's real. ALL indications are that it's legit and the FBI is sitting on it like the laptop. Why would the FBI scramble to seize a diary that is fake?

Whippy, we're living in a (cyber)world where one of the biggest newspapers couldn't post about a huge story relevant to an upcoming major election on one of the biggest social media platforms until many months after the election. There is absolutely a double standard, across much of the Western internet sphere, about which people you're allowed to negatively speculate and say bad things about about and which ones you aren't. Sherdog isn't above that. I have my doubts a mod can do much about it, and he probably can't even really give a satisfying answer.

I think you and I know we're staring down the barrel of a huge problem in the Western world. Like, absolutely massive. As I look at how it manifests in the universities almost weekly, I'm frequently asking myself "What exactly can I do about it?" I actually quite like James Lindsay's answer:

OnlySubs: James, What Can I Do? - New Discourses

Mainly because, whether you agree with him or not, the guy is a guy who saw a huge problem and he tackled it head on and is actually making headway. If you think this is a problem you're looking at, don't quit - don't quit the forum, don't quit engaging where it's taking place in your real life. Stop and think - what can I do? I think you work in the government (nuclear power, right?). There are millions upon millions of people thinking "What can I do?" looking at the same set of problems. So, figure out what you can do, and get those other people in on it. This can be pushed against. It is already being pushed against. Everyone here threatening to quit the forum - grow up. This is a problem. It doesn't get solved by hissy-fits. We need everyone doing what they can, where they can, or this shit just keeps getting worse.

Edit: Hah, well, there is timing. James Lindsay just banned from twitter for this:

BREAKING: James Lindsay PERMANENTLY BANNED from Twitter | The Post Millennial

"Ok child sexualization specialist." Very little tolerance for insulting certain groups.

Well, there's always Gab.

Officially referred to as @KnightTemplar syndrome

Not even the first Syndrome I've had named after me.

Although the other one is mainly used by Criminal Psychologists, Detectives and Forensic Pathologists...

It's the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing today.

Fun Fact: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on the same day in 1826: The 4th of July, on the 50 year anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. That's fucking incredible.

George Washington (February 22, 1732– December 14, 1799) was an American military officer, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797. Appointed as Commander of the Continental Army, Washington led the Patriot forces to victory in the American Revolutionary War of 1775-1783 and served as the President of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which created the Constitution of the United States. Washington has been called the "Father of the Nation" for his manifold leadership in the formative days of the country.

All Those Titles, And Yet...

Washington was at a dinner party attended by another Founding Father, Gouverneur Morris. Morris bet some friends the price of a good meal that he could prove he and Washington were friends. He walked up to Washington and slapped him on the back. Washington turned and, in the words of Morris,

"The look he gave me was not worth a thousand free meals!"

No. Sherdog doesn’t condone it.

Sherdog by implementing this new rule is either complicit or indifferent to people attempting to/or in the process of sexual exploitation of children in the most ghastly way imaginable.

There is no other choice.

Any mod that aggressively enforces this new rule is also in some way complicit at this point.

Children are being exploited in the worst way possible, and Sherdog is doing everything in its power to sweep it under the rug and keep it out of sight, out of mind.

And what is to be gained by your virtue signaling on a karate sub forum?

If you really want to make a difference be active in your community, work with your local library to have some good people doing a story time each day.

Whining about it on Sherdog is about as effective as changing a Facebook profile picture to the current thing.
