Maybe when the entire outside world starts to view you as batshit insane, start evaluating why everyone views you as batshit insane.

What I find particularly sad about this is it’s not like anyone is going into the poliboard to call you batshit insane or saying you can’t keep your Q pizzagate pureblood circle jerk.

People are just calling you nuts and not even remotely interfering with it…and you can’t stand it. You need that external validation. You need others to give credence to your inane worldviews.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and sometimes people think you’re crazy not because they’re soy leftists, but because you’re actually fricking crazy.

That's understandable. But the second you mention sending tax dollars to Ukraine, is the second you open yourself up to a political debate.


And that’s OK. But political debate and rabid one-sided shitposting isn’t debating. No one sane wants to engage in that which is why the PT is what it is today.

But if someone starts bringing up anything political, should it be moved to the poli-board?


Yes.

Regardless of where it lives, that thread is going to devolve into shitposting. No need for stuff like that to slowly rot away the OT.

There’s about a zero percent chance this changes anything.

Absolutely.

It's why they continually say things like "the liberals on this site" or " the OT lefties" even though the entire board is overwhelming right-leaning. They need that bogey-man, or that political adversary to keep the game going, so anyone that dares question an opinion gets one of those labels.

The only way to fix anything is better moderation.

I don't think many regular OTers want to post on the current political board.

can we at least get a list of what topics can't be on the OT? There is a board for just about every topic. Except for maybe babe threads and weather.

when you and your friends are just sitting around bullshitting? what do y'all talk about?

because that is what I always considered the OT to be about

I know my friends certainly don't talk about politics or the latest Twitter outrage

You and your friends talk about how semen tastes? Or fingering a dog's butthole? What kind of freaks do you hang around with?

Those are topics that have been posted here, among others just as strange. I guess we should all beg for more sunhog threads or PocketAces threads where he posts pics of shite filled Vegas toilets.

A lot of people screaming “stop talking politics in muh football, this is muh get away” are the same people complaining about the OT being politics-free.

i'm not even complaining. Asking a legit question.

If the OT is only for topics that don't have their own board, what's left?
