maybe an inverse/bloomer edition of the tanks wouldn't be a bad idea for when we see people being cool I'm unexpected places

that would be really cool, we could use a lot of hopium when the world keeps looking darker every day, and seeing normies come to the realization that capitalism needs to end is something that keeps me sane

Damn, can't you at least keep the act up for a full month after the "most important elections of our lifetime"?

Gossip just seems like a sucky name that isn't exactly what we do in the tanks, but whatever. I'm glad this is finally settled and the mods have followed through with the community feedback, it's finally time for our slop now

yummy

Marat should definitely be referenced too, hardline revolutionary until the very end.

Also Adam Smith when it comes to liberal economic theory

True, but I think an embedded voting system would make things more smooth, much easier to count, and having the voting as a seperate step to discussion gives the opportunity for new options to be created by user input

 

In light of recent events which have really been blown way out of proportion, I would like to suggest a system to help us reach democratic decisions for these kinds of things, since for me at least, one of the most highlighted issues out of this was the fact that users were completely in the dark about the problems until they were simply notified about the decisions taken to solve them.

My idea is to initially have a normal post where the problem is described in detail and the admin/mod team can possibly suggest a course of action a priori, and discussion is then made where the users express their opinions on the stated problem and course of action if there is one, along with their suggested solutions.

Then the post gets locked and it enters a voting stage, where a group of actions can be voted upon, preferably with Yes/No answers, and a deadline for this stage to end.

Then the results can be viewed by everyone, and the admin/mod team can decide how to move forward.

I realize that this complicates administration, but I hope that implementing such a system will help make this easier to do compared with trying to reach a consensus by discussion alone.

Obviously this should mainly affect meaningful changes to the site, we don't need to make a whole voting process in order to rename a couple of emojis.

The only "good guys" were the ones staying away from a filthy imperialist war, which was the Russian people turning against their own warmongering capitalist masters

What metal subgenre would you classify Judas Priest or after-thrash Metallica as? To me 'Heavy' is pretty much an umbrella term for all these metal bands, especially the older ones, that don't really fit into a subgenre. I guess you could call them "Classic Metal" like we use "Classic Rock" for bands like Led Zeppelin

The "targets" don't even know we're talking about them. In the off chance that someone sees a post on the comm and decides to go dunk on some fascist, I'd say it's deserved, we should not take any actions to protect fascists from having their feelings hurt.

 

There's this leftist influencer called dantethehater who usually has some pretty good takes and some nice content on China.

Lately he was calling for everyone to vote Kamala by the logic that organizing will be easier under the Dems. Critically endorsing a neoliberal government that funds genocide is already cringe enough but at least it had a reasoning behind it.

Now he is making posts referencing the fact that the Greens could not have possibly "stolen" the election based on their numbers, and being sarcastic about it saying that everyone who voted them is "loudly irrelevant". That's mega LIB shit, he isn't even trying to blame this on the Dems yet.

I'm going to be involved in making a union website, probably just a simple page with some hopefully good looking design. What would be the ideal tools for the job, and any good looking union sites that I can take inspiration from?
