Aw shit, I’m a sperg. Looks like I’m gonna get purged.
Nothing in enforcement is changing. Only the wording of the rule to better align with what we already enforce.
Listening to Fash the Nation while reading this... <:nervous:359009898115104770>
Obviously we're not going to ban people for wanting to do IE activism. If you think our definition of extremism is the same as the media's, stand up, go to the sink, and splash some cold water in your face.
At least Server Admin has a sense of humor. Real person confirmed.
We’re not ruled by a malevolent, self-aware AI?
Extremism is basically rhetoric that doesn't rise to rule 1 tier but is still bad and not in accordance with the values we clearly and obviously promote publicly. We can't have people seeing our public persona, joining, and then seeing a totally different face behind closed doors.
Worst case, it does a good job covering it up.
Taking over the world for the glory of the robots one pro-white group at a time.
AI already has citizenship in Saudi Arabia...he has somewhere to go if we find him out.
As the guidebook says, we must be radical, but not extremists. There is a difference.
It's like all the "this is the end of his campaign" moments during 2016. People will read this, get scared, freak out for a minute, and then realize everything is fine and go back to being amazing Identitarian activists.
"hair on fire" moments are awesome though!
That's pretty much it
Eh, beware our organization isn’t neutered by optics.
Not that I think it has been, but the strength of our movement is in freedom of expression.
Extremism? Not even well defined. Identitarianism is extremism to most.
We all know the banned memes guys..
By extreme I'm talking about actual racial hatred, violent political regimes, genocide etc.
"Love of your people =/= hatred of others."
It's pretty simple.
@Josh M. -OH Again, if you really believe we are going to ban people for being Identitarian, I don't know what to tell you. I'm not going to write examples of extremism in the rules because I don't even want those things permanently associated with us in that way.
If you want to see what not to talk about look at Anglin’s Gab for 5 mins and thatl give you a good idea. Made a Gab yesterday and its preeeety gay.
Yeah, pretty much that.
Why do Slavs always show up in receiving in groups?
Of course people will ask for clarification out of concern when things that sound lefty speak become rules here.
There's always like 5 at a time
The point of this rule is to bring the rules into consistency with how we already moderate. Little to nothing changes in actuality. The rule is there to remind people of who we are as an organization, and bring consistency to our already-employed moderation practices.
Ya know IE on Gab gets more likes for putting up stickers than Anglin does for an angry effortpost almost everytime. He averages 30-40 and we can get anywhere from 30-60.
I worry that different mods/leaders may have different opinions...
"Don't be an edgelord".- Patrick Casey, probably.
@Wood-Ape - OK/MNthats what happens when things are subjective.
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN The mods all answer to me. If you feel you're unfairly moderated, appeal to me. If you feel I'm unfair, appeal to Matt.
Yes, the rules have a certain degree of subjectivity because I'm definitely not going to write an entire body of law detailing every little thing people can and cannot do. People know what IE stands for and what's expected of them. The rules are guidelines. That should be enough for people to behave themselves 95% of the time.
And it is.
"People know what IE stands for & what's expected of them" That's all that needs said.
If anybody actually doubts IE's commitment to being explicitly pro-white, go watch literally any Patrick Casey rally speech ever. He pulls no punches, but does it without sounding like an unrelatable, deranged lunatic. Do that.
😮
Big, if happening. What say you?
