If what you say is true and 99% of people agree with you on that front, stop bitching about the 1% of people who disagree with you and go work with the 99% to pretty please beg the billionaires capitalists to give you a $17 minimum wage or whatever it is you want.

If you are hispanic, and voted for Trump FOR THE SECOND TIME living in the united states, you deserve to be deported.

On the contrary, specificity of one's beliefs and positions is a necessary building block for creating meaningful, efficient, and trusting coalitions. Blindly assuming that "we're all on the same side" only serves to muddy the actual goals of any given movement and put more vulnerable people and populations in positions where they realize they may have to undermine not just their beliefs but their sense of identity. It is dishonest, anti-intellectual, cruel, and frankly a waste of everyone's time when the inevitable red lines are approached while doing the work because the standard is simply "if you're not a Republican, you belong in the tent."

No. The reality is that "the left" is an extremely wide swathe of various and sometimes competing and contradictory beliefs and movements that widely are related by trying to build an entirely new society altogether, not simply reform the current one so Black and queer people are still doing imperialism, and it is inane to not deal with that reality at all. If you are too afraid to clarify your positions and to align yourself with movements that actually serve your interests and goals because you're afraid of division and judgement, then that is an issue with your immaturity and inability to self-reflect and constantly test and rethink your positions and beliefs, not with others' for "labeling you."

I am extremely comfortable with openly saying that I am in full support of the destruction of capitalism. If you're an exploited worker who nonetheless still unfortunately believes that capitalism needs to stay, I need to know that upfront before I potentially waste my time with you in "working together" towards whatever ends we could possibly work together as two individuals with diametrically-opposed ends. There's more shit to hash out first before we can get to actual material work, and I'd like to do that upfront than when we're in the planning phases of action.

Why even bother to engage with something like this when you eliminate 99% of people in the conversation because they don't want to destroy capitalism entirely? Is it just an absolution of guilt so that you can reject allyship in the name of pure ideology because you know it means absolutely nothing will happen and you don't have to do any actual work while riding a high horse of moral superiority?

Wow this is so much dumber than I even expected. Though she was gonna hide behind "ur bad faith" and let her forum pups take the heat for her. 

Lynetto was never saying the 99% people who Nepenthe excludes from her Wakanda Commission Group agree with each other. Only that if you're starting with a potential maximum group of 1%, you're never getting anywhere. And Nepenthe clearly understands this, which is why she says "well why don't you go run the world with your group of people-who-do-anything and leave me and my ham sandwich out of it!"

 User Banned (1 Month): Inflammatory Point of Comparison; History of the Same

pure nothing of a season. i suppose i can give it some credit for locking up Jace, world's most boring character, in the TimeCube for half the season, but it felt so obvious that they were writing the whole thing from the ending first, working backwards to figure out how to put all the characters in their places at the finale.

I think she didn’t expect that somebody outright said that they didn’t hate capitalism.

NepNep

I have found and worked with plenty of people who understand the fundamental problems of exploitation, oppression, and environmental destruction inherent to capitalism and want to work together to get rid of it. We may have different ideas on how to get there at which point we can have adult discussions over those ideas, the opposite of the bad faith drivel you wrote in this post, but we at least see it as a goal to mutually work towards.

You still see capitalism as something that's salvageable. If what you say is true and 99% of people agree with you on that front, stop bitching about the 1% of people who disagree with you and go work with the 99% to pretty please beg the billionaires capitalists to give you a $17 minimum wage or whatever it is you want.

Lynnetto

I'm not bitching about anything, I asked you about your approach in good faith and you attacked me. I apologize if it makes you uncomfortable to question your extremely militant and exclusionary stance.

NepNep

No you didn't.

Lynnetto

I understand why you would want to frame any kind of questioning of your ideology as bad faith since it's difficult to internalize and reflect on criticism, but it wasn't. I am genuinely curious what you think you can accomplish when you intentionally reject such an extremely broad scope of allies.

NepNep

You can continue acting like this-

- is good faith, and I can simply be specific and direct and call you an asshole.

Do you want to apologize for being bad faith and actually have an adult discussion, or continue wasting my time? Makes me no difference.

Benny W is kissing NepNep's ass

I didn't read Nepenthe's comment as militant (please be careful) or exclusionary. It's direct speak. "Real talk". Straight to the point.

I believe they're saying don't waste their time by pretending you're in alignment when you're just going to pull back later on down the line. It's an absolutely frustrating process to go through.

Also they said collaborators may have "different ideas on how to get there." That's open, inclusive, and not militant.

[Besticus Maximus]

She talks to users like they're weinstein brothers who are paying for her to demean them

There is also this incredible sentence of wisdom 

I don't know why asking basic fucking questions about people's goals and beliefs in order to be aware of basic commonalities to lean into, differences to hash out, and faults within one's thinking that might contradict with their conscious beliefs in order to better fit them into the group is now "purity testing."

This is her denial of excluding people who don't agree with her, a lecture on why that's good actually.

[Potato]

I truly don't know how Nepenthe would even go about destroying capitalism. Isn't this inherently something that would require gradual change? Anything else is guaranteed disaster. You don't even have universal healthcare in the USA and you're focused on destroying the concept of money?

[Propagandhim]

Explicitly stating support for the destruction of capitalism and the need to sort out conflicts with people who think capitalism is “salvageable” before organizing together is totally normal politics and necessary clarity to protect vulnerable groups and avoid later fractures.  Duh.  It's not "purity testing" at all.  It's just a normal part of...coalition hygiene... 

I don't know why asking basic fucking questions about people's goals and beliefs in order to be aware of basic commonalities to lean into, differences to hash out, and faults within one's thinking that might contradict with their conscious beliefs in order to better fit them into the group is now "purity testing."

Doesn't she immediately ban "just asking questions" as concern trolls?  Who is she kidding - she's pretending to be neutral while getting her toadies on that forum to police belief conformity before granting participation.  It's the purest definition of ideological gatekeeping and purity testing.   When has Nepenthe, ever, in her life spoke about the need to create a movement from overlapping interests instead of conforming to her specific heterdoxy.  I've never seen a single post and trust me, I read all her posts 10 to 15 times a day while F5'ing the Maps screen incase the Google car uploaded a new pic.

I'm surprised Baphomet lasted as long as he did. He was leading the charge on calling for B-Dubs to step down back during the heinous sexual harassment of Nep incident. The darkest chapter in Era history.

Spoiler: Posts over a few days (click to show)(click to hide)

He should definitely lose his position as manager.

I just think it's a really bad look to keep someone who said the things he said in a position of power/leadership.

I think he should at least address this but in the end I still feel he should be stripped of his position and people trying to go "well it must be stress" or "we don't know what his work is behind the scenes" is just BS. I'll say again, if anyone else said the things he did , they would have gotten rightfully ridiculed and permabanned from this site. Continuing to do nothing about this is just making this place look worse and worse.

So what's going on with the manager situation, will anything be done about it?

I know, it's a very bad look for the staff and for this site in general and I know people will accuse me of being "overly sensitive" about this or asking why I care about this but I just hate the blatant hypocrisy of it all, it rubs me the wrong way.

t's really sad there has been no response to this yet , I just hope they are doing something about this behind the scenes (I highly doubt this though). If nothing is done about this, I cannot take any future warning/bans seriously. Something needs to be done about this.

So will this ever be addressed? I'll ask every day until people get sick of it and I get thread banned. This shouldn't be forgotten, the longer this goes without a decent response from the staff the more pathetic it looks.

This non response is one of the most pathetic things I've seen on this website , the staff here is a joke.

In this case, an apology is not enough , manager should willingly or be forced to step down. A person in his position should know better than go off the handle like he did and. A simple "my bad I apologize" is not good enough.

it is staff responsibility to give this community some type of response/update to this situation to alleviate any concerns people like me have over someone getting away with reprehensible behavior when any other person on this forum would (and rightfully so) have faced consequences already.

Looking back, it's truly a testament to Nep's bravery that she still has the strength to carry on after that trauma, still selflessly educating the masses on imperialism and how to take specific grassroots action to dismantle capitalism. All the while she has that despicable fiend still looming over her, likely waiting for another chance to strike.

uhm.. armed revolution doesn't require gradual change. Stop trying to fix the system within the system and actually arm up like trans folx.
