    He’s one of the people with the most shared tweets is this thread. I can’t imagine how anyone could read this thread and never heard of him without having everyone ignored.

    he calls out trump and the admin all the time and says "lies" "liar" etc

    There are way too many tweets shared ITT, way too quickly, for me to keep up with who they all are. I’m sure I’ve seen his stuff, and probably agreed with it, but just haven’t noted him specifically. There are hundreds of media or quasi-media types to follow and try to pay attention to regarding the mountains of shit Trump’s admin does. We all follow different groups and that’s ok.

    That’s fine, I’m not trying to get caught up on it. I made a general comment about one specific tweet- if he calls people that lie liars other times then I’m glad he does. But he didn’t right there. I’m not trying to discredit everything he’s ever tweeted or questioned his commitment to the cause.

    Nah, I didn’t miss it. I’ve even called Lyrtch out on going too far at times, but that’s not what you’re going for imo. You think racists should have a safe space to air their grievances without being called out on their bullshit.

    Everything good that happens is because of him.
    Everything bad that happens is because of someone else.

    Even when he is clearly responsible for something he will never own up. He is a child. And not just any child, a piece of shit litle twerp of a child.

    That is exactly the opposite and exactly how you missed the point. The vile shit that ross posted last night should always be called out and never should be tolerated. Calling someone a racist or nazi because they simply disagree with you is a bit much and it happens on the board a lot. That was and is my point. Someone makes a holocaust denial post? By all means run them off, tar and feather them and label them a nazi. Same goes for racial attacks on people of color. I wasnt making an argument of supporting them at all, what i said was when you simply cast that card on to everyone, it loses its meaning and purpose when a real shit head like ross comes in spewing that vile shit.

    There are certainly degrees of vileness, but if history teaches us anything, it’s that the silent head nodders and appeasers cause as much damage, if not more, than the rosses of this world. I agree with the boy who cried wolf sentiment, but there’s a tone of over-application in what you offered in that thread (hell of a place to bring it up, don’t you think?) and now here. Many of the statements and opinions that are called out rightfully deserve such treatment.

    Then stop making claims if this is where you inevitably planned to end up. Make the claim, back it up. That’s how life works, or at least how it’s supposed to work.

    Why do so many people do this? You made a claim if it’s real or as widespread as you say you should be able to throw a couple examples out there quickly. I’ve seen some people use that’s racist or a little racist gifs in jest but can’t say I’ve seen anyone call anyone else racist for simply disagreeing with them.

    The board might have grown up. Maybe. It didn't get any worse, but people seem to have moved on from the last few years of defending hate speech/racism/etc on here as acceptable content.

    Was mostly a classic Daniel Ocean non-defense defense while mentioning all the strong slaps on the wrist that he’s doling out behind the scenes, a little bit of soft defense by AIP, a proper takedown/callout by Rape Ape (nice), with a follow-up mea culpa from AIP. That was the last I saw of the thread. Not sure if more happened after that.

    It happens frequently. Maybe they don’t always say the exact words Nazi or racist but they 100% imply it.

    I like how people here can be like "yea, we have problems with the way the system works, it's hundreds of years old and no longer best suits the needs of the people, we need to change it" and then come to this board and go "hurr durr rule 1".

    we are not less for removing the handful of truly shitty posters that still hang around this place after a decade.

    Maybe once we got rid of the worst culprits in calling people racial slurs, the most overt nazi types, people started to realize how little drama there was or we grew up I dunno.

    It's just jarring after like pre-2017 insanity on here regarding anything with the THIS IS WHY TMB WAS MADE crusaders.
