You ever notice when people without identities all suddenly latch onto a word or phrase in unison? Somehow “comprehension” and “literacy” fell into the blob vernacular and I don’t think they know what it means. Is that considered irony?

Remember that thread where Nep went off about media literacy, confusing literacy with being well read and knowing a lot of media?

Era: You don't know about Pink Floyd's The Wall? Media literacy is dead.

Also Era: Who the fuck is (insert any top-selling Black artist of the past 10 years)?

I specifically said that Israel is culpable for this conflict, a state that has existed since only recently  This was in response to the tepid, fence-sitting belief that this conflict is thousands of years in the making, and thus it is too complicated to pick a side so easily.

They have a short history so it makes the situation less confusing.  

You don't need to be a expert in the entire history of Jewish and Arab relations

It's not that long a history, you don't even need to know much about it, or be a so called "scholar."  In fact, only knowing a little but not too much makes it easier to Pick a Side!

Genocide is never okay no matter who or what supports it.

Imagine how much it hurt to type that.  

And the end it.

Era responds





And that was Nep's foray into the poli thread after her belief that  "all actions in the name of decolonization are fair," was put into play Oct 7.  finally a real world example for her to comment on and she says nothing for two months and then tosses her cookies.

The golden rule when driving on the highway in regional areas is if you see a kangaroo, floor the accelerator and don't swerve. No point having to deal with an injured kangaroo, those cunts are dangerous, and your car is going to be wrecked anyway.

Do you honestly believe the "collective" of Jews are committing genocide?

That's quite the hill to die on.

sure literally anyone else on this forum would get banned for posting that sentence alone but let's ignore that

e: yeah that's good administration. instead of reining in your personal biases for one minute, just quit even pretending to do the job in the thread you've already hinted you want to drive off the site like all the other community threads you've already driven off. ohayocon chair vibes.

 

No, I don't.

And it's quite clear from basic reading comprehension that I think only the state is responsible.

I specifically said that Israel is culpable for this conflict, a state that has existed since only recently in part due to the Holocaust and generalized European antisemitism beforehand. This was in response to the tepid, fence-sitting belief that this conflict is thousands of years in the making, and thus it is too complicated to pick a side so easily. You can catch up on the conditions in Europe that led to modern Zionism, the formation of Israel, colonialism against Palestinians and Palestinian responses with like a week or two of reading primary and secondary sources. You don't need to be a expert in the entire history of Jewish and Arab relations (although that isn't a bad goal to strive for), especially since the West does not primarily prop up Israel for religious or restorative reasons.

Another poster added nuance in the form of a correction that Israel is both a state with borders that has existed since 1948 and a collective cultural nation that has existed for centuries longer. Which, you know, as someone who was at least vaguely interested in decolonization before John the Duncan made it cool with white leftists, I already knew that. That's why I said as such bluntly. However, this distinction- while correct - has nothing to do with whether or not is happening to Palestinians is okay. Genocide is never okay no matter who or what supports it.

That is what I meant with "the collective." Although had I clarified "whichever nation you're talking about," I don't think it would have mattered within this context because I don't think people here were intending to read me in a positive light given that this conversation started out as yet another bum ass discussion about minorities voting or not voting. I should've known better then.

And there's no way you nor Midnight Jon do not know any of this, at least if you were reading the entire conversation chain in good faith and not once again taking this opportunity to dog a staff member like as has been happening in this thread for months now. And I'm at least smart enough to take my own leave, especially if now the sentiment is turning out to be "administration is antisemitic." You win. You will never find me in here again, not even to tackle staff duties.

Midnight Jon is good people, his discord has like 300 former poliera members and yeah there's moderation, but like timeout for so many hours of you do anything like people do on era.

The egotistical moderation on era has suffocated basically all voices other than the usual people mentioned here and...the moderators.

The moderation level they do kind of isn't needed? Excel is on the discord and she was called out and self disciplined. There was no screeching at the lungs about genocide denial, like whatever the fuck that is. Just because I don't agree with the classification of all tragic high number deaths as genocide doesn't mean I deny the deaths. Such lazy fucking thinking. And as a result the Hamas discussion is largely dead because it's just real updates and not reacting to Twitter mcfuckerfaces hearsay.

The point of era moderation at this point is to "win" arguments largely and push very biased beliefs. That isn't moderation.

Nothing you've said gives either the current state of Israel, or the collective nation of Jewish people, the right to be commiting genocide.

The phrase "the collective nation of Jewish people" has not been put in writing since the New York Times translated a Hitler speech in 1938

I'm not sure where in my post I said Biden has done literally nothing. If you're using it as a springboard to just extol his virtues, don't bother. I literally don't care.

Nepenthe, I suggest you re-commit to the gender stuff for a while and get Kyuuji onboard as a lieutenant. Cut a deal with princess bubblegum and get rid of bdubs, rule it yourself with SweetNicole and the admin sleepercell, pay yourself even more and get rid of Bdubs. Do it.

Hmm. I wonder if this email that I cc'd to MOBA Network Executive Leadership (email formula is either first initial, last name or full both with no space, I used both) last night had anything to do with it.

Disturbing Antisemitic and frequent violent rhetoric from ResetEra administrator
Hi there,
I’m a regular visitor to ResetEra and I’ve noticed increasing antisemitic talk from the administrator Nepenthe. This admin also has a long history of violent, anti-social posts, the sort that are frightening coming from a regular user but even more so from someone purportedly in charge. ResetEra has been gaining a reputation for being a toxic, anti-social, and often disturbing place due the regularity of this sort of talk from the people running it. Those posts reflect so poorly on the site, the community and poorly on M.O.B.A. Network overall. Please spend some time looking at what one of your brands is becoming due to the culture from the top down from the administration there. https://www.resetera.com/threads/us-poliera-2023-ot-2-tapping-the-sign.768689/post-115447797

Cheers and thanks for your consideration.

Makes a complete arse of herself, immediately pulls the racism and victim card before stropping off. Yeah, there’s no way that vindictive, petty, half bright cunt is going to forget those two

Is extra funny because SHE KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO GET SHIT ON.

That’s why she went to the Socialist OT first and expressed her ideas there first. The cynical on me thinks that she expected Socialist RE to defend or support her when she dared to storm LibRE.

He hasn't even done anything yet. There is zero value in keeping him. Nobody cares, nobody likes him, and the actor is an abusive prick who's more drama than he's worth. What's the point?

And yet, I bet you that a communist driven film industry will  still have way less and diverse films than with capitalism. And even if the government institution that gives grants is actually running well and competent without nepotism, they would probably have an excellent filmography but not the type of films that Era actually loves.

We already have the examples of the Soviet and Chinese film where all their great film makers had to make propaganda films nobody wants to watch or cross the border into places like Hong Kong. Even the more free modern Chinese film (though Xi has tightened things back up) still has to be approved by state censors at every level including the script and one reason the state has allowed relative freedom is because they want to drive the Western films out of the Chinese box office and so need films people might want to watch.

I think they legitimately believe producers and studios wanting certain things or not just handing over blank checks is no worse than having the state control every aspect of production because in both cases the "filmmaker" can't make whatever they want with no limitations. And since the state won't be doing it for "profit" that instantly makes it more pure despite the totalitarian ideological straightjacket. Even though that's the case of pretty much all art anyone's ever heard of.

And it's quite clear from basic reading comprehension that I think only the state is responsible.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you say "the collective nation" I'm pretty sure you mean everyone in that nation, not just the state. Always with this weaselly shit

You're wrong. The "collective nation of Jewish people" means all Jews everywhere not just those in the state of Israel. She's once again gaslighting and attacking other people's "basic reading comprehension" because she has no idea what the things she said mean but she thought she did because she saw others use it.

[davepoobond]

"the collective nation" is just a weird thing to say anyway; i agree it basically just means some sort of higher level "nation" that all people of a certain sort belong to, regardless of where they physically are.

[benji]

I think the real reason they hate capitalism so much is that it's self-correcting and eventually reveals that the average person won't put up with their shit forever

eventually Disney will have to stop throwing money into a pit and make some movies that are actually appealing and don't pander to specific loud activist groups

that's why communism can't come soon enough, so that they would be permitted to make ideologically pure content forever without fear of losing funding

Or to frame it another way, one of the benefits of communism is the certainty. Rather than Melody Shreds and Nepenthe needing to discover what other people want, a very emotionally taxing task, they are liberated to simply do as the Party orders them to. The Party which has perfect moral clarity on everything at all times.

Also, people always assume the Party will always be operated by themselves. And that if the cishet yt males get back on top, because the worst get on top, they can simply complain to the Party which will see the error and correct it immediately.

I don't think this is irrational necessarily, it's supposed to be a guaranteed utopia, so how else would it work than perfect correlation with my own personal views? (Which the Party will liberate me from having to develop with uncertainty by dictating the correct ones to me.)

[Uncle]

you don't even have to say nation, if you said "the collective american people" everyone understands that you mean all americans, everywhere, overseas etc.

[benji]

you don't even have to say nation, if you said "the collective american people" everyone understands that you mean all americans, everywhere, overseas etc.

The purpose of that is to imply a greater loyalty to the "higher nation" and suggest that Jews (or whoever) will betray their actual nation for the "Jewish nation" and its sinister plots.

You can see why Nepenthe believes Jews have this considering her views on Blacks and yts. (Also her past endorsements of blood feuds.)
