people should be able to say whatever the fuck they feel like imo
ive still never found any evidence that thought or speech can actually severely harm anyone by itself, especially not when it comes from an anonymous poster on a d_gdamn imageboard
but i have seen literally everyone losing their fucking minds these past few years due to not being able to say what they want
as far as i can tell, thats one of the prime factors behind why there are more and more reactionaries as of late
as for this place becoming nu-pol, i doubt it.
most boards that get like that are a factor of kcmods kcmodding away any sort of dissenting opinions, and we thankfully dont have that problem
idk about you, but personally, the only times id ever get b& from kohl was when i "went off-script"
its only reactionaries left AND right that have a need for an echochamber like that. and because of that, they mostly tend to gravitate towards boards where they have mods who reflect their own views, and will ban the bad men with the mean words so that they can continue being right and dont have to worry about thinking too much
