"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
Please run me over Shannon.
I thought you were the expert on running people over

I'd rather not, as the last time I joined the group, although it was years ago, left a bad taste in my mouth as people acted very hostile and ganged up on users. Along with the feeling that I'd be walking on eggshells to reach a decent answer from the people there, I don't think it would be a worthwhile experience.

Granted, many users I know have gone there just to act like idiots because they heard of Sapphire's reputation and didn't care to try to discuss, but that doesn't lessen my apprehension much at all.
I just want to address this before it gets lost in this thread. You bring up a valid point. Sapphire was hostile, people did gang up on others. I don't know how long ago you were last on Sapphire but from what I heard, in the past, Jay was the ringleader of ganging up on people but she is long gone. I have only been there ~3 years but last year was peak hostility (that I have experienced) and thankfully this hostility was addressed.

You have your opinions and I'm not going to change them but I do want to say that Sapphire isn't hostile anymore. You won't be walking on eggshells and posting should be okay if you don't have the notion of "lol sapphire".

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I logged on today because of Shannon, I don't know why.

Why would I want to join a shitty place that would ban me just for disagreeing with people? No thanks.
no one gets banned just for disagreeing. people get banned for being assholes and arguing in bad faith ad infinitum.

Wrong. I got banned for stating an opinion the collective didn't like.

Since I realised it pissed everyone off afterwards I decided to leave the situation rather than argue about it (and piss off everyone further), I got two weeks for my trouble.

Then there was Tevis and Beb for some irl reason that bled back to the forum, and Davos because he was contrarian to the majority.
[Whining at the facts]

Woah man, no need to be feisty. Tevis and Beb clearly had some disagreement because one isn't around anymore, and the other seems fairly quiet these days. I know not why exactly they got banned but it was something disagreeable that management didn't like.

Davos was the only person I saw who argued with the backing of some article or facts, only to get punned or gangblasted out because it wasn't what everyone else believed. No mention of whether the facts were right or wrong, mind you.

And finally, I couldn't care less about the ban, it's not like it refutes your claim at all. And all the board warnings, emails and otherwise that prove they just hate the place and anyone associated with here.

Not that any of that is surprising.

Funny, in trying to defend North Korea in some sense, Azur is only reinforcing my point

Now imagine a whole group like that

and thus, Sapphire. Have fun.

sapphire strikes me as a bunch of people who say they are tolerant, but ironically are intolerant of any thought but their own

freedom of thought is suppressed for freedom of diversity for the sake of diversity, usually just with skin color

you dont know anything about the left or sapphire, lol. it's painfully obvious that your perceptions are colored in surface observations and the things other people say.

You don't think it's weird how the country shut itself off from communications, or how there's no electricity on satellite images? How about testimonies from people who've escaped the country, or the fact that they hunt down people who try to leave? You're just gonna ignore these things because you're so high on your what if scenario?
they do have electricity. and uh, you know people expatriate from every nation right? and for that matter, isn't it pretty funny that US media focuses so much on people leaving this one particular nation, the one that we havent quite been able to topple for the better part of the last century? almost like we're using it as a justification for the continued encirclement/threats of invasion. and the US has never lied about justifications for those sorts of things, as we all know.
The Soviet Union actually did this to Afghanistan. Did you support that colonialism? They wanted to destroy Islam completely (as well as other minor religions, some far older than Islam) and force Afghanis to speak Russian. Do you support that behavior just because it was committed by communists instead of capitalist Americans? Keep in mind they did half succeed with countries like Tajikistan etc.
i dont support much of anything the soviet union did after stalin. lenin's revolution was betrayed; communism in russia was doomed well before the USSR actually fell. and im not talking about stalin with you again. it's funny how terribly off base your perceptions of me can be.
>it wasn't real communism

OH NO NO NO NO๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

OH NO NO NO NO๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
this is such a tired joke, ahistorical and couched in anti-intellectualism. the proletariat was betrayed by the soviet government, which slowly implemented state capitalism in the years following stalin. capital accumulated at the top while the proles' living and working conditions slowly deteriorated and russia exerted imperial influence over foreign nations. something similar happened to china after mao's death, when deng re-liberalized the nation and handed industry back over to capitalists (and we all know how well china's proleteriat is doing; definitely socialists, totes). as it turns out, sometimes assholes make it pretty hard to execute revolutionary socialism over a period of decades.

how tedious.
