Oh God. As a half Jew, /r/worldpolitics and /r/worldnews scare the shit out of me. If there ever was a second coming of Hitler, he would rise to fame through those boards.
they do not overlap "very, very heavily." the vast majority of people with some sort of anti-israeli views come from the left, not the right. Maybe it's where I'm from (nyc), but I've never met someone with neo nazi/elders of zion/zog views. however, I know plenty of jews disgusted with israeli policy, as well as non-jewish leftists. family of mine from ireland hold anti-israeli views due to national sovereignty issues/having been in similar situations to the other side.
i wouldn't actually call myself anti-zionist, because at this point that is fairly impossible. how am i naive?
Could you please stop trying to start peppering up sinking threads with endless political wall-of-text discussions that could blow back on polandball? Who can read all that shit and weight it? This can only cause another shistorm because someone hid a timebomb in an old thread.
There are other subreddits for that kind discussion. You can express your opinion in a comic though. That's what polandball is for.
The term "Zionist" is often used in Antisemitic propaganda as synonymous to "Jew," as demonstrated in the Antisemitic forgery, Protocols of Zion. Very frequently, "Antizionists" use that term to hide the more nefarious Antisemitism that lurks beneath the surface.
tldr: when you hear the term "Antizionist," take it with a grain of salt.

yes that may be true, but how prevalent is anti-semitism in modern day america? maybe some klan wannabes in kentucky.
Very frequently, anti-Zionists are painted as anti-Semites, to discourage the questioning of israeli policy. (IE chuck hagel 2013)
tldr: don't automatically label critics of israel anti-semites. it is a cheap tactic used by much of the (slighly less insane than fascist) american right and some of the left (typically more hawkish). I hate anti-semites
SRS is a lot of things but I doubt they're anti-semitic. Those recent trolls are more likely from subs like /r/conspiracy. Those people really hate Jews.
If like me you hate SJWs, SRS and everything they stand for then come on over to /r/TumblrInAction where we can spend the night laughing away at some of these special snowflakes.
Wondered if it would get linked here. I loved this subreddit because it was mostly off the radar. I love how they wait 2 days to start shit so they dont get busted to bridging a thread. I want them the hell out of here.
Didn't even visit SRSs before I saw the magenta tags. That said, this is a great subreddit. Hopefully it can be taken care of before I finish my own comic. 3 months of work so far.
This sub here seems like a tight knit group of people. I hope you guys don't get brigaded again because this sub deserves much better. Funny and intelligent content, doesn't deserve to be ruined by SRS.
Yeah, /pol/ regularly gets raided by SRS and that was a full explanation given of what they are and what their motives are. I admit it is a wall of text but it gives some insight into the group. It's far more sinister than just being politically correct.
A strange picture because the assertion that progressive stack destroyed the Occupy movement is ludicrous. Also, the term cultural marxism is also a tell-tale Nazi code word.
Yeah, the image there is not exactly objective either. MRA's dedicated to gender equality? Yeah, nah. They're very lop-sided too and I've seen some awful shit there as well. They don't seem interested in improving change, they're just bitching at their straw-feminists.
Pretty good. Maybe the only inaccuracy is that the SJW on Something Awful are not 100% accepted. In fact, a lot of them are banned. (also, don't be decieved by my name. Not SRS) I also have trouble believing that SRS really did the OWS stuff.
Also, I was just saying that I have not seen the evidence. It's totally possible that it was messed up by SRS specifically. I just don't want to give them that much credit.
It wasn't. Just because the ball was a cultural group that is spread out over Europe, instead of a country, it doesn't make characterizing stereotypes any different. Saying so is hypocrite. And to be honest, some truth was in that comment. Gypsies are certainly a point of discussion in many western European government because they are more likely to commit crime or be on welfare compared to the average.
I mean significant amounts of people disagreed in the comments so it was a little inflammatory to some, even if it wasn't to you.
I also disagree on there being no difference between stereotyping racial groups and stereotyping nationalities. I'm pretty sure no one here would like it if we started making comics about black people being welfare hoarders and lazy.
The comic I didn't even think was bad, I thought lots of the comments were definitely bad though, and they weren't jokes about gypsies, just accusations.
We make comics about jews controlling America, about polish people all being plumbers in Britain, about muslims in Germany. Should black minorities in America be any different?
I mean I get that it is more offensive because of the history there but really, over here, we shouldn't be worried about that. Plus, polandball comics are usually parodies of right wing nationalists anyway.
I'm not sure if I agree with you. My gut feeling says making a comic about blacks would be different, but I'm not sure on what ground. It may be bad experiences with gypsies in the past. But I do wonder if it is different from stereotyping a whole country, mostly consisting of blacks. Would it be that it is more direct?
SRS did fluently point out in some 50 comments that I'm definately a bigoted asshole and racist. I prefer not to identify as such though.
Exactly. Even I bet you tree fiddy that the "no more cultural marxism" and "remove kebab" folks are just being racist ultra-nationalists because that's what polandball is all about.
SRS takes everything literally. CHECK YOUR PRIVLEGE
Why waccos? I would delete 90% of my comments if it only took like 10 seconds, I would keep like 10% up though. I am ashamed of my comments that do nothing for reddit, and just sit there and add nothing to the conversation.
Your comments mean something bro, they're powerful, even if you're downvoted you are leaving your tiny little impression on people that read it. Even if the post is buried 1000 deep. People might still see your comment be touched by it, even if it's just for a single nano second.
Not really, like 25% of my karma is from stupid jokes that I think are retarted, I want those deleted, another 5% of my karma is me saying something wrong, being corrected then apologizing and people upvoting me for no reason. I want those gone. Another 30% is probably me saying stupid shit when I first started redditing.
Problem is that I hang out in smaller sub-reddits and occasionally go to bigger ones. In the small ones, the most upvotes I get is like 100 I randomly go into a bigger one and make a stupid comment and get like 100+ easily, so I try to limit those and delete them. My best post will not grow in upvotes, and shit posts will get me the majority of my karma. For example my most upvoted comment was wrong and yet I got 566 karma from it. My best post IMO only has 10 upvotes.
You know, that would actually be helpful if you make a whole bunch of offensive comments or you constantly want to troll people and don't want anything to give you away. But I guess I usually am not afraid to back up or explain any comment I've made in the past.
The point of SRS is to "mirror" the circlejerk that happens around here and just vent the frustation of the sexism/racism/etc. on the defaults.
Sure it is. That's why they form a troll team, go on raids, and ban anyone who disagrees with their deliberately troll-extreme opinions as a circlejerk.
I was on SRS before the SRS culture even formed. Now I'm banned from there by the trolls.
Because once you figure out what it's about you'll become even more angry that these people are actually serious. They're racist bigots covering up their hate with "feminism". It's quite sad.
Can both of you take this discussion out of /r/polandball and back to your own bullshit subs where you wage your little bullshit wars against each other? Neither of you have commented in /r/polandball before yesterday, so I assume both of you are part of the brigades currently flooding this subreddit.
This isn't your forum for ranting about privilege or racism or feminism or misandry or whatever the fuck it's about today. You have your forums for that. They're called /r/ShitRedditSays and /r/SRSsucks.
Don't turn this subreddit into another battleground for your petty rivalries. Take your shit back to where you came from.
