A purity spiral trend on the right has been emerging for a while now but it has only gotten worse in recent years. Disbelief in the whackiest conspiracy is taken as a sign of disloyalty and anything other then the most retarded take makes you a shill. Examples include:
>you think jews are nepotistic and spiteful to their hosts?
>well I think jews are actually a cult of satanic baby eaters you deradicalization, shill!
>you think the pharmaceutical companies are greedy assholes who pray on the despairation of sick people?
>Well I think everything the pharmaceutical companies sell is poison and I'm taking wormwood extract to cure my cancer, you cuck!
>you think mega companies moved jobs overseas because the CEOs are amoral pieces of shit who care more about money than the future of their country?
>Well I think its all part of a plan to weaken the West and install communism, FED!
>you are worried about 5G because you think it will greatly enhance digital surveillance?
>well I think 5G will cause cancer and mass death, fag!
>you think the covid vaccine was bad because lockdowns were used as an excuse to attack political enemies and side effects were ultimately worse than the disease?
>well I think its all a part of the NWO depopulation agenda, pharmakike!
>you are worried about AI because of job loss, propaganda bots, and surveillance concerns?
>well I think AI is actually a demonic force in computer form, fag!
>you hate Hollywood movies because they are controlled by a few studios who push stale liberal trash?
>well I think Hollywood is putting secret symbols and predictive programming in their films to control the population, tranny!
Ect
It isn't enough to distrust the failing institutions, you need to believe they are part of a satanic plot as well. This has only gotten worse over time and I suspect it will only continue get worse over time. Is there any way this can be stopped before it collapses under the weight of its own bullshit into a flat earth singularity?
And I know many of you will claim that some of the crazier claims are pushed by bad actors, and you are probably right to some extent, but silly shit like germ theory denial and flat earth are becoming more common especially on the right. Is there a way to stop this?

>>391754>>391755You're far more screwed up than I am. Nono, take a bow! You're exemplary! Please, illustrate more how you delight in other people's problems, such that you try to bring them up in a discussion you lost long ago but either aren't smart enough, or aren't man enough to admit.
Nono, I've said enough. It's your turn. Why ARE you so vile?
>>391756>You're far more screwed up than I am.Now that's a gutbuster.
>WhyMostly, because I'm bored, and you have been making us bear witness to your mental health meltdowns on board for years, so we may as well get it out of your system now.
Now tell us more about the last time you were touched.
>>391758Yes, well if you're bored you can fap. I've expended all the good-faith I had in you. Congratulations, you're officially the worst, and coming from me that's saying something
>officially
Lol, lmao even. It really thinks we take it seriously.
>>391760If you didn't, you wouldn't respond. Turn-about is fair play. I've answered your questions, answer mine. Why are you so vile?
>>391761Tbh I think the vileness is justified. You've chased off plenty of people and made the community less fun over the years. People telling you to eat shit is long overdue.
>>391762We'll get to (you), I'm asking him
>>391761>I've answered your questions, answer mine. Alright then, that's fair.
>Why are you so vile?Because I'm sick of you, and I'm tired of being nice. My attempts to ignore or reason with you in a civil manner were futile, so instead I prefer to entertain myself in ascertaining why you are so pathetic and deranged.
>>391762This.
For years, his egotistical posturing has lowered site quality and driven off contentfags, and this site has payed a major price for it.
>>391764>My attempts to ignore or reason with you in a civil manner were futile, so instead I prefer to entertain myself in ascertaining why you are so pathetic and deranged.This. People here tried to give good faith discussion and you shat on all of them. Then you cry how people shit on you back. Fuck off.
>>391765For years I've watched this faggot repeat his same egotistical cycle as he wasted the time of people who came to this site for good faith discussion. I watched him autistically posture with his stupid non-arguments around good users, and I watched as one by one those users stopped posting entirely as the promise for quality discussion on /mlpol/ was not kept.
He acts like he owns the place because he's been here a while, but really in all those 8 years he took more than he gave.
>>391766>For years I've watched this faggot repeat his same egotistical cycle as he wasted the time of people who came to this site for good faith discussionI was gonna say the same, it's weird
Naturally, you will need to validate the claim of "good faith discussion", which is NOT evident atm
>>391766Are we going to do this in public?
>>391770You were given citations and counter arguments. You accused people of bad faith for doing just that. You then demanded that people sift through old posts and just listen and believe. Eat shit. No one is going to tell you you're a special boy.
>>391770>Naturally, you will need to validate the claim of "good faith discussion"Oh, sure, all those posters you drove away over the years were all bad faith. You alone are the good faith debater. You and boomer.
>Are we going to do this in public?It's already happening, you broken retard.
>>391771No, ONE of you was given PAGES of citations of links, and acted like a little shit, and was treated like one. That was page 1. Shall we turn the page on this retrospective?
>>391774>acted like a little shit, and was treated like oneIs that what your [information needed] said when he buttfucked you?
>>391774Pages full of obvious nonsense like germ theory denial. No one wants to sift through obvious bullshit. Meanwhile you were given academic sources and textbooks. You accused that of being in bad faith because the evidence given didn't tell you that you are a special boy.
>>391775Unlike (you) I don't know what it's like to be butt-fucked. My abuser was female.
Next?
>>391777>My abuser was female.Ooh, now we're getting somewhere.
>Next?Was it your mother? It would explain your infantile tendencies. Was it a other relative or caretaker? Did she stick things in your butt? Touch you inappropriately? Spank you for no reason?
Did you develop sexual neural deformities from it? Transexuality? Asexuality? Obscure fetishes (we already know you're a furry)?
>>391779You have a weird fixation with butts, you should talk to your provider about that.
>>391779Do you think you're making me look bad? Or are you illustrating your true nature?
>>391782Was I correct?
If my hypothesis is inaccurate, tell us what happened to you instead.
>>391781Ah, so it was an external molestation. Patients of your ilk have tendencies towards irrational defiance and pushing people away, which explains several of your posts.
>>391783>waxing idioticHave fun with that. I played along, all my answers were honest, but you're not interested in honesty. Many such cases (btw, dishonesty is what leads to jews)
>>391780I'm here for the show now. I think I've earned watching you get shit on after watching you chase good posters away.
>>391786I'll tell you right now all you need to do to prevent this kind of shit in the future is to prevent the behavior that led to this in the first place. Enforce good faith debate on /mlpol/ this is a politics board and discussion only works when people are arguing in good faith. Shouting "shill" at all opposition leads to paranoia and the destruction of the community at large.
>>391789Yes, but I don't give a shit about this thread because it is retarded to begin with and was asking for this sort of thing from the beginning. Forgive me for not noticing you devolving into shit flinging so intensely. I am fixing the problem now.
>>391791You could just prune it, if that's the case.
>>391791It's fine that you don't care about this thread. The problem of accusing opposition of being shills has been a problem for a long time now and it has led to a decline in users. We have an opportunity with newfags from the 4chan fags and we may soon have another opportunity with refugees from ourchan if their retarded leadership keeps doing what they are doing. This place could be lively again. Let's not drive out new users.
>>391792I will suggest that, but it is best that staff not delete threads based on autistic behavior if OP is not the one that is engaging in it. I am still going through the mountain of history to see if that is the case, but I am guessing that it is just sperging from people that can't just make a unique thread.
There is both a Bible thread and a pagan thread. Why can't you do battle in an organized manner like they do it?
>>391793Calling people a shill, though annoying, isn't against the rules on its own. You just have to power through a bit of that. If the problem persists where it is clear that it is not just someone mad about your position or too retarded to understand a position, report the post as it is in violation of rule #2.
>>391795>Calling people a shill, though annoying, isn't against the rules on its own.Making fun of people for being mentally ill faggots isn't against the rules either.
At first it was obnoxious cuz OP was clearly being a nonce on purpose, then it became amusing when some schizo (probably OP) sperged and strung along others into the spergfest, but after a week of nonstop sperging it became concerning.
>>391796Correct, which is why I was largely ignoring the thread because taking action on either side of the slap fight prematurely would not be wise. You are free to belittle someone for opinions here, even though I would not personally suggest it.
Just please go back on topic or make a new thread. Preferably a new thread because when a thread exists for this long with this much shit going around, it will just devolve again.
>>391795I get that it isn't against the rules. I'm saying it should be, along with other thought terminating clichés. Accusations of being a bad actors immediately put people in a defensive position where they have to "prove" they are legit despite many obvious good faith efforts to have a discussion. And it's only like 3 people doing this shit. I get that you support free speech, but accusing your opposition of sabotaging the site to avoid having a discussion seems like it would prevent political discussion. If we don't want political discussion why even have pol in the name?
>>391800You could just ignore the poster. Again, there is nothing forcing you to defend honor against someone that yells shill. If you are mentally incapable of ignoring though, then report it and I will see if there is any history of doing it. You can't just delete everyone that says the word shill on sight.
>>391802I don't think that the word shill should be banned on sight. I think using the accusation to avoid discussion should be banned. We have seen this game played out for years now and it has led to a decline in users.
>>391804I absolutely agree that it is a tactic that is designed to shut down discussion. I don't see the problem with ignoring it first though. The only ways the accusation can shut down discussion is by either convincing others or yourself to engage with the accusation. It is easy to maintain the discussion by replying to anyone else.
But regardless of how I feel about it, it is a violation of rule #2 anyway when used to try to target a user or thread. Just report the issue, as long as it is indeed an issue.
>>391804Consider it a learning experience. People CAN be assholes, and until we learn how to remote hack brain stems you can't really stop them. If it does happen, just realize that the guy isn't here for talking and just leave like an adult. Or be an egregious asshole back, if you wanna. Lurkers like me find it funny.
>>391807Being an asshole back seems to be the best course of action, but enough of that going back and forth will lead to a decline in the quality of the site.
>>391808Keep in mind the community is pretty small. Small enough that we can recognize posters by writing style.
>>391802>You could just ignore the poster.Ignoring them just means that they fill up the site with their sewage unopposed and act like they own the place, which drives away good users.
>>391808Tbh, I think we start being a lot more openly hostile to these sorts of faggots. They have gotten way too comfortable on right wing forums since 2021. Enough is enough.
>>391784This was my last post. I'm in the process of something related to my nephew, but trust that I'll be dropping MIRv grenades when I'm done
>>391787>I am absolutely fascinated in how broken and sad you areNot nearly as sad and broken as you, if thats what you're into. I'm sure you were just trying to be fake and edgy tho, no one thinks you're actually this assertive.
>>391789You (or one of you) led to this. You don't get to start making a mess and then complain when a mess is made, because someone joined you in making a mess. Yes, their hands are dirty, but who started it?
>>391791Awww, I was having fun
>>391792You could just stfu, likewise
>>391793>calling people shills is the problemNo, posters acting entitled and demanding things was the problem, the rest is consequential.
>>391796Nor is allowing posters to display their own malevolence!
>>391800>engage in the same purity spirals that the thread warns againstBruh
[Read more] >>391816It isn't unreasonable or "entitled" to ask someone to back up their position on a political discussion board.
>>391817Who asked? What I saw was juvenile demands
>>391818Nigger half your posts are about how you shouldn't have to "spoon feed" (see provide evidence). Jesus you really are asking for it. I hope the mods don't intervene the next time you get shit on.
Yes, one shouldn't have to spoon-feed petulant children. What's the confusion?
