No recs, one or more flags.

If someone wants to come over and help, that would be lovely. If not, I hope you have a good day.

FYI, what I have posted is a subset of the information previous posted her on C99. You can read it here.

Sorry, but I don't go there anymore, haven't in a long time and I don't miss it at all.

I would suggest you leave the asylum to the lunatics.

If I thought we were gonna reach anyone there I would totally be all over it.

But some battles cannot be won, it is just a simple fact.

To go and subjugate myself to the shitty atmosphere at that place wouldn't be a good thing so I just ignore it for now.

Plus I know if I go I will probably end up banned and when I do eventually get banned it is gonna be with a gigantic, "Fuck you! We warned you!" diary. Smile

The worst part is you can't even have a single fact-based conversation, ever, over there.

No matter how neutral the fact, it immediately gets nasty responses and name calling. Although, I freely admit, I am basing that statement on activities prior to March 15, but from what I hear here, things haven't improved. Smile

but once Markos let the hounds off their leashes with his edict the place really fell off the rails.

It was like all the fake progressives were just waiting for the opportunity to no longer be forced to pretend about being so.

The tone worsened after the 15th, but then once the rules against ad-hominem attacks stopped being enforced against one side only it really soured.

I worked in the prison system for over 13 years and THAT was less toxic than Dkos, lol!

This one is just focused on how email works.

I write over there for the lurkers, not the assholes. I'd like as many laypersons as possible to have an understanding of how email actually works, because most non-technical people do not understand why what she did is different than just getting a gmail account.

Pretending they'll come to their senses or that they'll do anything but reject and hide rate anything that threatens their current belief structure is a pointless endeavor.

When Markos wants them to shift what they think and believe, they will.

Stop trying to break the cult belief system over there. Stop trying to get paid shills and sock puppets to not be sock puppets. It's not going to happen.

Don't believe everything you think.

lunachickie's picture

you don't jibe with their narrative. But kudos to you for taking the time, that is an excellent breakdown of "how it works". I'm shocked to see such a reaction to actual fact over there. Your piece is the kind of writing I used to go there for, once upon a time. But they got nothing but trolls over there now. It's godawful. Thank you for trying, though!

I don't click on them anymore--well, I did, just now, for the first time in almost (3 weeks? My last comment was like June 2 or 3, I think). But I figure to keep my hand in there long enough to produce my magnum opus for The Day After. It's all going to be built around that Guns-n-Roses song, Civil War:

What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Some men, you just cain't reach. So you get what we had here last week.
Which, is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it.
N' I don't like it anymore than you men.

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said, "Peace could last forever."
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
An' I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land

And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war

Look at the shoes you're filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more

My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars

"WE PRACTICE SELECTIVE ANNIHILATION OF MAYORS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
FOR EXAMPLE TO CREATE A VACUUM
THEN WE FILL THAT VACUUM
AS POPULAR WAR ADVANCES
PEACE IS CLOSER" **

I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war

I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway

There is no point in going there. There is no one to reach.
The front page is junk. MB and Hunter are writing such trivial stuff, I stopped reading them months ago.
Egberto is the only one who seems to be independent. I am surprised he is still there.
The right column is junk. Just skimming through new postings, all junk.
nomandates wrote some BNR's, but I figure that will stop soon.
Serious topics which need to be discussed can't be mentioned without a fight. Fracking, health care as a right, campaign finance reform, rising taxes on the wealthy, raising the minimum wage, expanding Social Security...any of these bread and butter progressive issues will lead to a fight.
These are the issues that progressives agree about.

snoopydawg's picture

To agree about over there when Bush was president.
But once Obama got elected and started using drones in 7 countries, continued the Afghanistan war, destroyed Libya and Syria and then put troops back in Iraq, the people on that site found those things acceptable.
And they don't care that Hillary helped destroy Libya, wants to put ground troops in Syria, create a no fly zone there which might mean war with Russia. Besides the one that Obama is setting up now.
Plus everyone was exited about the Iran deal, except for Hillary.
I can't wait to see what she does to Iran for her friends in Israel.
Her history of what she did during her time as SOS is plain to see, yet people apparently over there don't care how many more innocent civilians are going to be killed once they elect her.
Remember, many things are only wrong when it's a republican doing them.

I write for those who read TOP, not those who blog there.

IMHO, it is in all of our best interest for as many people as possible to understand what HRC did.

And to do that, non-technical people need to understand the difference between a personal email account and a private email server.

When Markos basically announced that, after two weeks, his site was going to be Clinton sycophants only. I suppose his dictum was hard to take seriously after fourteen years of relatively free speech. The place is now basically RedState for Goldwater Girl fans.

If you're going to stay over there, here's a thought: since your current audience is invested in a phenomenal level of insecurity, why not send them a music diary composed entirely of lullabies and ambient music? Invite the Kossacks over for tea -- chamomile and kava only?

You are an excellent writer and I pretty much agree with everything you say, but that place is a snakepit and a cesspool now. I go over once a day to see what's on the Rec List, and I marvel at how there is no differentiation in thought anymore: everybody agrees with everybody else. It is a true, and very sad, echo chamber now.

People like SantaFe Marie are horrible for the Democratic Party, but those people don't even pretend to fucking care anymore. It's amazing to watch the things they say now that we're not there, now that they think they've "won" some imaginary internet goal.

It's pathetic, what's become of DailyKos and what's become of the Democratic Party. As far as I'm concerned, they can all go fuck themselves. They no longer deserve my time and attention and, dare I say, I don't think you should be giving them yours.
