A few rules when posting here that are intentionally loose, as decisions are left up to dave and occasionally the other mods’ discretion:
For the sake of transparency, these users’ access either are or were once removed from this thread temporarily or permanently:
- THESE ARE NOT REAL POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS! Most of us are behind computer screens and exaggerated avatars and center pop culture as a prevailing force in our lifestyles. At best, we are pundits examining the ridiculousness of contemporary global political discourse by attempting to engage in a sort of mock version of conversations we could not normally access without a thread like this.
- DO NOT ANTAGONIZE EACH OTHER through ad hominem, strawmanning, and generally disrupting discussion. Civil discourse is only possible when the involved parties show respect for each other by acknowledging others’ discussion points/opinions, even if they disagree with what is being said.
- LIGHT MEMEING IS OKAY… when on topic. Smogoff exists for off-topic posts.
- DO NOT GENERALIZE ENTIRE GROUPS; sometimes broad strokes are helpful to paint a picture, but if you hinge your entire argument on belittling or minimizing the struggles or takes of a group of people, you are unlikely to have a discussion conducive to any sort of result.
