The Amazon rainforest is on fire because some moron wanted to grow soybeans in the hopes of future sales to China.

JB just won’t give up. I guess one who poses being the smartest most well informed person in the room must be beyond reproach. Reminds me of the most recent Trumpian quote, “I am the chosen one.”

Still stirring up trouble with fallacious reasoning, Joe! Your post wreaks with false equivalencies and sweeping condescension. Further, there are rules in place regarding AGW denial!

Right on the famous Santa Fe Plaza a gun toting Trumpster has been intimidating tourists and locals. This weekend is Indian Market which is one of the largest art markets in the world and I am certain he will be there making a statement. Despicable!! https://www.sfreporter.com/news/2019/08/14/trump-inspired-hate-hits-the-plaza/

Mao was the leader of the communist party which was in no way a fascist regime. There are major differences between the two.

I highly recommend this Netflix series. The goal of “The Family” is to convert world leaders to right-wing Christianity. https://www.netflix.com/title/80063867?s=i&trkid=13641907

Interesting points! Religion in general is about power and crowd control!

Internet censorship by Executive Order or more to the point of Executive Fiat! https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/08/11/leaked-draft-trump-executive-order-censor-internet-denounced-dangerous https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/09/tech/white-house-social-media-executive-order-fcc-ftc/index.html

@zanshin You think it’s funny that women have left due to male harassment? I find no humor in it!

And Datura!

By your reasoning, the Dao is also about "no more right-wing bullshit."

Actually I can believe it! A number of women have left this site over the years due to rampant sexism/misogyny. All my reports fell on deaf ears.

If the mods didn't issue warnings, impose suspensions or bans, then there is no excuse for turning a blind eye! Furthermore, that includes reports! Moreover, I was told by the mods that if only one person reported, that would not be sufficient cause. One more point is that rules are posted here and to me the forum rules are very clear!

If you want to talk about the laughing emoji's, one member posted over 100 on my posts over a period of around one month. No matter what or where I posted, the same old emoji was there. I reported this behavior as trolling and I was advised to ignore it. There is no way to ignore what can't be ignored.

Thank you for an eloquent expose' regarding the last few years!

Given your previous mod status in which you and the rest of the moderation crew, which includes the former admin, nothing was done to moderate the hate filled posts in the Trump threads. Several members were constantly referencing 4chan, 8chan and other sites which should not be given a platform anywhere online! One reason being is that 8chan has recently been busted for distributing child pornography! You don't give these persons a voice! Hate speech led to approximately 41 million deaths in Europe during WWII. I reported misogyny, anti-Semitism, bigotry in all its forms and one member was advocating violent acts against Hillary Clinton which I reported. Was any action taken? None!

Cannabis has been unfairly lumped in with schedule 1 drugs. Cannabis is a herbaceous plant and not related to synthetic pharmaceutical drugs such as opioids. The research does not support the article in question.

New York Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch which is a right wing news organization. The article is based once again on reefer madness with no scientific basis.

Trump has the unmitigated gall to stage a photo op in the hospital where shooting victims are being cared for! This photo is outrageous with the all smiles and thumbs up! Are these actual hospital workers or Trump's sycophantic lackeys brought in to make him look good.

One of the most egregious problems on the right wing Trump threads was referencing to 4chan, 8chan, as well as QAnon. There were two members that referred to the above quite often. Given recent developments, most everyone here should understand the ramifications of allowing hate groups to infiltrate this site and the online community, in general.

Does he speak out against this? No! He pushes the narrative of hate and violence!

Exactly! The human species has devised the most insidious means of mass killing, which may be our downfall.

Will you stop nitpicking! Same weapon means AR-15, in which I meant same kind of weapon.
