Class loyalty, and the pervasive threat in certain highly socially conservative cultures that women who aren't in a marriage & raising children, are failures.

These considerations drown out the cognitive dissonance arising from suppressing the knowledge that they're voting for the Leopards Eating Faces Party

Class loyalty. Anyone who clerks for circuit court judges is practically guaranteed to have every door opened; anyone who clerks for SCOTUS justices also often find someone handing them a cocktail as they walk through the door.

A few months ago, I would have agreed.

With the Harris/Walz embrace of the zeitgeist, including "weird", & the fact that Harris was a career prosecutor, I'd like to see just one debate. Just … one

The same people who ran /r/the_donald and /r/cringeanarchy & a bunch of other subreddits that were closed in 2020 also operate the Ask subreddit. It survived the closings because "it's just an AMA subreddit". They submarined it into TD2.0

The admins absolutely should have closed every single subreddit those people ever operated and sent them all C&Ds telling them to never come back.

7 posting accounts. They need a dozen moderators to field the violent white supremacists who keep going mask-off. Which are sometimes "moderators" praising running cars into protestors …

When T_D was in operation, there was maybe a dozen accounts that made up 70% of the postings there, and a few hundred that made up the next 25%.

Also a few dozen accounts I had labelled as "whips" — accounts that would only comment to focus the audience on specific trends or on harassing dissenters.

I'm guessing that since that practice has survived in the various "hillary for jail" style ecosystem subreddits, it's going to be replicated in the Ask sub, too

It's a good thing humans review Sitewide Rule Violation reports.

I am certain you do not wish to argue that several years ago you assaulted me at Tanglewood Forest. Several of your fellow company members have chased me and thwapped me with Amtgard -legal boffer weapons on Company Road while I was making announcements on behalf of Kingdom Officers.
