Articles & Happening Meta Discussion

Articles & Happenings is the third attempt at a news board on the Kiwi Farms. It is a cursed place. Every moderator who has been assigned here has resigned within a year. During 2016, the political crossfire was so bad it spread to different boards and culminated in me banning American news discussion entirely for several months. It has been deleted in its entirety twice. There is no actual discussion here, it's people posting garbage. It leans much further right than the rest of the site and doesn't particularly conduct discussion because dissenting opinions are dogpiled by a thousand memelords posting shit they read on /pol/ without any critical analysis.

The only rules that can be enforced are empirical ones with boolean violation answers. New threads must cite a real source directly and must use the headline of the article as a thread title without any editorializing. Articles must be archived in some way and must link to the original article. Replies that are one word or a reaction images are automatic one-month bans from the board.

I'm creating this now because it seems like this place is here to stay and is one of the largest areas of the entire site. I might as well throw in bare minimum effort to improve it. I don't even try to find mods for here because they will quit, without exception. I've added new prefixes ("Business" and "Crime") just now.

Discuss.


New threads should be made like this.

The universe thinks I'm a pretty cool guy.

Are you on the Rittenhouse again, friend?

Yes, history has an endpoint, sweetie, if only you silly bigots weren't in the way we'd have gotten to heaven on earth. Reality has a liberal bias, after all. Martin Luther King PBUH believed in this and you will too once you're in our reeducation camps.

Martin Luther King is a white supremacist, according to today's leftist. Please keep this in mind for future trolling.

He said people shouldn't be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

So he's basically a Nazi.

Does anyone else find that weird? All this talk about racial oppression, and yet these people never mention the man who has pioneered the most in fighting for one's civil rights in this country.

Have you ever seen BLM mention MLK? No, you hear his inferior, Malcolm X, but never MLK. I find that very odd.

MLK wanted harmony, equality, and peace between all law-abiding americans, regardless of their skin color. To move on from hatred, and to focus on what we have in common more than what we have apart from one another.

...do you not see how much the people who are doing all of the talking about "racial oppression" these days might have a problem with that?

I thought Malcolm X abandoned all that shit and sobered up before the Nation of Islam had him killed.

Shit, you're right. I was just quoting him for the 'moral arc' section but he'd look like a dreaded 'centrist' today.

It can be seen as another example of the flip on the order/chaos axis - you are much more likely to hear a rightie quote MLK and a leftie get annoyed at an MLK quote than the other way around these days, because the media spent the past fifty years claiming MLK was all about equality and "live and let live".

The most common argument I have heard from the left for now ignoring the man they spent half a century defying is that he was close to right, but shackled by the then current cultural mores, so that he couldn't see that equality wasn't enough, and equity would be better. They might be right, if MLK were alive today it's possible he would clamour for equity instead of equality, it's certainly a popular position these days. Personally I highly doubt anyone who lived through Jim Crow would be on board with Separate But Equal 2.

Nation of Islam had him killed because of that shit. Also he had decided NoI itself was bullshit and basically fake Islam after actually doing the hajj.

I'm glad people saw through my obvious bait. I was in a vegan thread where some people took my redicilous vegan rhetoric seriously.

A&H shitposters are, unironically, better posters than most of the rest of board because they trigger people's political autism so you can see the cow inside of users here just waiting to jump out. Anyone who throws puzzle pieces, trash cans, and top hats at posts only grants them more power. Disagree is almost never used and is the holy cross of A&H.

If anything, I like the shitposters here because they stir the pot and I like seeing people stammering out their ill-formed rebuttals to non-arguments and it it's fun to go autism watching.

I resemble that remark, you cunt. Thanks for the praise, fag.

thats why they killed him
basically he came to realize that noi is a weird cult made up by some random nignog in america with no connection whatsoever to real islam, so he left and became a real sunni muslim
so noi, in true islamic fashion, decided that apostasy warrants execution and had him shot

That's probably the only actually Islamic thing about NoI, the murdering people shit.

So A&H is actually the lolcow equivalent of a native safari for the farms, disguised as a news section.

I think that's my favorite description of this part of the site yet.

But who's really the visitors and who is really the attractions?

It's a safari featuring the most dangerous game, obviously.

This is becoming my favorite thread on the site with all this salt.

The only thing annoying about righties quoting him is the part where they do it in a dumb context or forget he was a democratic socialist. Which is a big part of the reason that got him killed by James Earl Glow-in-the-Dark in the first place.

 

[The Pink Panther]

democratic socialist

but he was a better one than Bernie and probably Yang

He was more logical and restrained within the beneficial and logical aspects of gibs me's, if I believe so.
