This is the square of political wrongness. If you fit in there somehow, you're headed in the wrong direction, kiddo.

lol

It is grimly fascinating to watch what happens when the idiots manage to bully every dissenter off a thread. Apparently just ranting to themselves, as bitterly as before.

Fascinating

oh he's that funny guy who is roundly despised and ridiculed on every political thread and has been thread banned before lol!

what a sad cunt you are fred!

I hear that post in my head in a Rod Serling voice

jobs fucked, pack it up lads and call it off.

Cnut x3

about time ILX started the message-board version of QI thread!

Unsettled status: the enemy within.

omg I hadn't seen the Sanders thread, nice to find out just how small fry I am haha

Thinking of yourself as big fry was another mistake huh. All ego.

Textbook sticking-in of the boot there, O sensei

wow who could've seen this coming

The entirety of ILX needs Johnny Fever right now

The Bernie thread has been a bit tough the last few days, but in all honesty, seeing as what has been under discussion is a pretty clear misstep by the guy with the name in the thread title, make no misstake that the larger part of Berners on here realize that it was hurtful and listens to those who feel hurt by it. Compare this to the UK politics thread, which I think everyone can agree is not a place for fact-based discussion anymore, but for ranting and name calling. And which has degenerated to the point where a guy like xyzzzz can openly bully other posters all over the board, and while it seems even his most ardent defenders realize bullying is exactly what he is doing, he is still shielded and offered respect by that community. It is kinda amazing the rest of the UK pol crew don't realize how bad the comrades' behaviour reflects on them, but oh well.

who knew that it was poch keeping a lid on the bubbling pot all along

Historians of ILX, is this our first transatlantic meltdown?

Not by a long shot

lol oh god pom i forget how young you are

Lol. But yeah, it's nothing compared to the great meltdowns of '16.

I am old and young both, having stumbled upon this place back in… 2002, if memory serves. I mostly lurked for a year then vanished, only to return in 2017.

Yes my bullying of posters is to blame for the UK thread to degenerate into a *checks thread* a discussion of the works of Mishima and EU Supergirl.

we havent had any real mutli-person meltdowns since oh imma say 2015 but could be closer to late 2013 tbh

I can't even bulky you all properly xp

exceptionally cool to see an argument in a thread which contains my anger at platforming fascists described as a “meltdown”, keep up the great work, men of ilx, maybe we can get even fewer women participating on here?

xp insert dick dastardley ref yrselves, fuckin phone

Why would you assume I was talking about you, gyac?

Yeah, gyac, first of all, that wasn't what AF was doing. And secondly, you can't use that line in defense of a bully like xyzzz.

More to the meltdown than this tbf

LJ can't be bullied he was trained to take it all in the UK's finest private schools

You should be.

Like, it was what I was talking about in the post you reacted to. You're underlining my point.

Alphie is experiencing technical issues with his keyboard. At first his only viable keys were x, y & z, now only l & j are left.

Autocorrect is bullying my ability to type a defence to Fred B's fake news!

I wouldn't say so, but I am not taking any of this seriously enough to think about it.

This is crazy!
We will just call this the "Mass Tumble Weed Migration"
