A struggle session, a power poster, a 2020 Democrat debate, or anything that tickled your fancy… remind us all about it in this thread!

My favourite memory by far has got to be the ~week or so we spent speculating about the Silver Legion.

    It’s pre Hexbear but that time we bullied a chud on r/cth to post his hog and he actually did it.

    It was like actually finding the end of a rainbow and the pot of gold.

    Does anybody remember BASED_BALL and after their ban the follow-up accounts when nobody knew whether it was the real one or not?

    That was funny

    Obviously it was Saul Grover, CEO of Giggle, the TERF social media app coming very close to going on Australian TV to complain about us.

    I remember the one day long thread about circumcission, mostly because I was pretty active in that thread and because there was 1 user who just could not get it through his head what I was saying. I kept trying to be respecful and explain to him why his sources were probably not very good, but the guy just would not stop posting. I think I spent an entire work day just replying to that one guy, which isn’t exactly my proudest moment on this site, but I genuinely thought I had to push back, because I thought I was the only danish person still active and the guy kept bringing up danish politicians.

      New tagline dropped

  • Oh my god I miss Liberal Socialist, he was okay and then would have the shittiest takes out of nowhere.

    Although people make fun of they “power dynamics” argument, the only one where he was completely right, so thats weird.

      They make fun of power dynamics because a lot of people wrote long thoughtful responses to the post, and the only response was “Power Dynamics”.
      They generally copy-pasted answers to everyone “aoc is doing what the unions want her to do” and refused to engage with the people that attempted to have good-faith discussions.
      i-think-that such behaviour should be mocked

      • Ah yeah that makes more sense.

        Man the aoc-rashida thing was a fever dream.

        Man would start a struggle session on a whim every few days. About almost any topic too. Ukraine, china, it didn’t matter. He was chaos.

    That TERF with the phrenology based dating app that threatened to expose us live on Australian TV but then didn’t actually do it when her interview happened.

  • Mine is from the before time, long ago in a place called r/cth… A hapless chud wandered in a few weeks after we had bullied another chud into deleting their account, and he went off.

    CW: suicide depicted in film. Hours later he too deleted his years old account. 🤣 The best part was shortly after, when a Chapo did an edit of the Passion of the Christ in the scene where Judas is plagued by his guilt and ends his life. The original scene in the film has a gang of children running around and beating him up , where he glimpses a shadowy figure who is supposed to be the devil. This edit however features the kids with comments on them like “post hog!” and the like, and that shadowy figure?.. Matt fucking Christman! The children suddenly disappear and he sees this rotting dead donkey with the previously deleted chud"s user name, and he does the thing, no hanging body mind you, just a screen cap of his deleted account page. For some reason that made me laugh till I cried and has stuck with me for years. I think I may have the video on my old phone some place.
