That guy just made up half of what he said.

As much damage as Republicans are doing to the West, if ICC eventually arrests these Republicans for these crimes it could actually be great for the world. But I won't hold my breath expecting a wince from Europe, it still requires a 2028 Dem to make it a priority.

And you're okay with the West not helping you? Thats the only issue.

Im laughing at him begging everyone to come save us, why is trump begging everyone to save us if we dont need help from anyone? This will cause Iran to create nukes. Diplomacy is the only way to de nuclearize the world, this is the opposite. Obama had a no nukes deal with Iran, trump withdrew from it, we were allowed over there to inspect their facilities, under Obama. The u.s. literally, literally, does not have the military capability to stop Iran. North Korea has nukes and they're closer to the u.s. The entire, ENTIRE, world is turning on the u.s. because of Republicans, the entire middle east is being bombed and STILL opposing the u.s. attacking iran.

Trump is openly threatening NATO now. So much winning 👏 👏 👏!!! This has gone way worse for u.s. than I imagined, this guy digs his own holes and keeps digging. Fox News https://www.foxnews.com Trump warns NATO of 'very bad' future if allies don't help secure Strait of Hormuz 15 hours ago — President Trump warns NATO allies of a 'very bad future' if they fail to help secure the Strait of Hormuz amidst rising tensions with Iran.

Ooh, that brings up something that could help, remove the moderator badges!

It's just a discussion, not a campaign.

For it to work, would require a process. You slowly reduce moderation while promoting a culture of moderation, everyone is essentially a moderator but can only moderate with words or ignoring users. It would require more people to intervene, a cultural change, one that fosters much needed social skills here. It would take a lot of work, admittedly, but it would create a better community.

Yes, no one gets raped or killed anymore @integral . Brilliant, never thought of that.

https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-730393 Does Israel still discriminate against Mizrahi Jews? Feb 4, 2023 — “There is a clear divide that is systematically maintained in all areas of life, between ultra-Orthodox Jews of Mizrahi and Ashkenazi descent. When the High Court of Justice recently overturned the ministerial appointment of haredi Shas leader Arye Deri, a crowd of hundreds of Shas supporters gathered outside his home to express their dismay over the ruling. Among the chants were claims that the High Court judges – all Jews of Ashkenazi descent – were once again discriminating against Jews of Mizrahi descent." "Benjamin Netanyahu's father was born Benzion Mileikowsky. He was a Polish-born Jewish historian who later changed his family's last name to Netanyahu after immigrating to Palestine in 1920."

We're just having a discussion, it's not like we're rioting. Jesus Monster Energy trying to have a philosohpical discussion What the moderators feel he's saying

Because you don't understand what's being discussed, you keep on going on about emptying, we're talking about how dialogue is moderated. I'm not suggesting we'll be nicer if we're unmoderated, that's your delusion, fake niceties are unnecessary and impediments. The reactions you're seeing in this thread alone highlight the lack of basic social understanding as kindergarteners say "words will never hurt me", in an "advanced" forum lol. Yes it's generally immature to name call, but what happens in public when someone calls you a name, you call the police?

The irony of Israel's current view toward Palestinian revolt, and why Rome originally removed jews from Judea "Rome's removal of Jews from Judea was primarily a response to persistent, intense rebellions (notably 70 AD and 132–136 AD), which Romans viewed as a threat to imperial security and authority. After crushing these revolts, Romans enacted mass enslavement, executions, and bans from Jerusalem—particularly after the Bar Kochba revolt. "

@Joseph Maynorwas banned for like 2 years, lol.?!?

See how easy that is, good job 🌟

Contemplate(another passive aggressive go to, here) context OP is talking about an advanced forum

They're not, that's just cowardice programming you believe. The emotions you're feeling, they can't hurt you @vibv YOU are their master. They're literally just symbol drawings and sounds. This is the aversion that people are clinging to with moderation, the OP was speaking about an advanced forum, not a reddit gaming forum.

I'm arguing against moderation. What are you afraid of, someone reaching through your screen, THEY'RE WORDS.

Oh, I wasn't being rude. I'm not sure how you came to that, what offended you?

We know There's not infinite idiots that follow Leo. They will learn or leave, no way they stick around too long. Moderation builds up a dependence, rather than exercising the users abilities to filter idiocy, infantilizing, protecting weak little cubs(we're...... ALL adults)

Then they'll learn sOmEtHiNg!@#!$@!!!! This is a place of knowledge, not a gaming forum. Moderation infantilizes and fosters idiocy, like what you're currently displaying.

Again, just more passive aggression, which is a result from immature moderation. This low iq behavior is fostered here. No explanation, no substance, just passive aggression, WHICH IS GREAT, RIGHT KIDS?

See, Look at this passive aggressive attack. No substance, no explanation. And this bad behavior is let to go be reinforced and spread like incel herpes by moderating anyone calling out the stupidity without going into a wasteful diatribe. You moderate specific words like they have magical power, it's immature like a little kid "YOU SAID A CURSE WORD!"

Theres 2 likely scenarios idiot attacks smart person person attacks idiot Smart people arent going to attack eachother. If an idiot attacks a smart person, theres no harm, because a smart person will easily let it pass. The idiot learns that the words have no power, and learns to alter their behavior. Moderating this reinforces a bad behavior, they elicit a response, acknowledgement, which is all the idiot is seeking. If a smart person attacks an idiot, they probably need it, and can learn from it. If idiots attack eachother, they'll both leave eventually. Win-win-win The moderation here concentrates the idiots here, you shelter idiots and prevent them from learning, then you just eventually ban them when a moderator has an emotional episode.
