I was made aware of all of this by a PM from El Dabo Something. I think Mason becoming fed up with the state of "politics" on 2p2 is long over due. I had been proposing an alternative section with rules that would eliminate baseless attacks even when Chezlaw was failing at running a section that wasn't just a left wing community. I'm not in favor of Masons proposed solution to the obvious problem but it's certainly better than the present situation
If Mason is going to be keeping an eye on the politics forum and wants them to "do better" I think they should over turn exiles considering how biased the moderation has been. I know I was wrongfully exiled and Wookie has been presented the opportunity to defend his decision about a dozen times and chose not to. He was present and active in the thread but just didn't have any comment.
Well Named shared the same view I had expressed in the ATF thread I created about politics moderation. It's clearly a left wing community. If you want to find out if it can function as anything else, you should allow people with conservative views and even people in the center like me in there. This will accomplish a few things
1. Can the posters behave civilly to those with they disagree with?
2. Can moderators behave even remotely neutral?
3. If they aren't an intolerant left wing community/mob then why would their faces melt off at the idea posters with opposing views being allowed there?
4. If previously exiled posters were exiled for valid reasons, wouldn't the same thing happen again? This time with Mason able to witness if the moderation has been fair.
If you want to observe the current state of politics and the delusion that these posters are "liberal" just go here for the latest news. This is and endless cycle in the 2p2 echo chamber. This just happens to be today
It starts here

MAGA kids show up and are being kids. Someone snips an out of context clip to create some fake news. Like adult WWE fans they aren't just sitting back with popcorn, they're actually mad at the undertaker for hitting stone cold with a chair. Watch how they fall for it hook, line, and sinker. The outrage is just comical delusion and bias. To their (2p2) credit it's not as bad as social media where the minors have already been doxxed and they are planning/hoping the kids life is ruined. The indigenous drummer targeted a group of kids having fun and goofing around. They were interacting with a deranged group of black activists calling black MAGA kids the N-word and calling the white kids school shooters. The deranged activists were also clearly homophobic.
Anyways, as that is going on the indigenous drummer guy walks in to the crowd initiating the whole thing. One kid decides to just stand there. It gets super weird when the old drummer boy stands right in his face and inches closer. I assume the kid was trying not to laugh at the absurdity of the situation. Why wouldn't he just go around? the whole thing was absurd. Who exactly are the children and who are the adults here?
Don't just pay attention to the fake news and biased outrage. Pay attention to how fast the "liberals" in the politics forum don't actually care about liberal values. When they find out the black activists are homophobic losers, they won't care. When they find out the drummer boy's side kick is a straight up racist, they won't care either. The MAGA kids were acting the most liberal out of all 3 groups. They were also as mature, if not more mature than the actual "adults". They were just a group of young kids having fun. They were met with unhinged weirdos and they took it in stride without matching their absurdity. For kids, their behavior was totally fine. Personally I find activists from all sides to be weirdos but there can be exceptions
You can see/hear the racist indigenous guy at 1:30 and the homophobe at 7:00. Watch the outrage on 2p2 towards people with disgusting anti liberal values completely disappear (if the 2p2 politics regs ever get passed the fake news). Their faces will melt off at a minor committing a minor transgression but when adults go full bigot, they will yawn and move on... again
