Right on. I wasn't trying to suggest otherwise, just expressing why I was confused by the initialism CT.

Ah, alright. I was confused for a little bit thinking you were saying you didn't want conspiracy theorists here. xD

When you say CT, are you referring to conspiracy theorists, or something else?

Edit: just realized you probably meant coontown.

Banning never works. Trolls get around bans and real customers are alienated by bans. It is always better to let voating drive bad ideas and words down to oblivion or just treat normal users like adults that can move past material they find objectionable.

Personally I've never seen it before, but then again I was only active in /r/conspiracy for a short while.

Could you give some examples of racist behaviour in /r/conspiracy ?

I hope so. I'm impressed with /v/conspiracy . It reminds me of the old /r/conspiracy . Let's hope it stays that way for as long as possible.

I love you bob.

There's lots of assholes on reddit. LOL.

Just confirmed with some of the chimpire mods, yep they're getting ready to come here. Muahahahahaha, I forsee a great deal of debates and mockery with them.

Here's the answer to your question:

https://voat.co/v/Israel/comments/89799

Are you worried that ignorant assholes are going to convince rational people that they should become ignorant assholes? All they are accomplishing is a circlejerk with fellow ignorant assholes anyhow, so just ignore it and move on to the next comment. It's not like they're making compelling fact-based arguments to win over the majority of readers who know comments in a thread are not always statements of empirical truth.

That said, it also isn't fair to assume someone is racist simply for pointing out an inconvenient truth since like it or not, there are still bad things like apartheid going on in the world. While it would be great if people just stated the facts without editorializing, it's ultimately up to each of us to draw our own conclusions on whether someone else's spin on a given situation is valid, somewhat hyperbolic or straight up racism.

Let the spammers keep spamming - that's what the up/down arrows are for and the trolls will ALWAYS be the minority since most people on reddit or voat have the mental capacity to determine what is or isn't BS and can self-moderate the threads accordingly.

"Racism" is nothing more than a convenient boogey man leveraged to shut down discussions that are damaging to the reputation of certain demographics. It's an old trick.

A conspiracy within conspiracy. Conspiracy-ception. I don't doubt what you're saying but we might disagree on the culprits.

I think this question presumes that the people who post and comment and vote on /r/conspiracy are a homogeneous whole with a single culture or set of beliefs. Like reddit, and voat, and really any social forum, it is more complex than that.

There are legitimate racists there, no doubt. People who are afraid of Jews, who see them as greedy or deceptive/manipulative, and some who believe that they secretly are devil-worshippers.

There are people there who do not hate Jews, but who hate Israel, or who hate the things the Israeli government does to other people.

There are people who are not racist, but who enjoy trolling and trying to provoke a response by pretending to be racist.

There are people who pose as sincere truth-seekers, and in the process express blatantly racist views in order to 1) encourage legitimately racist people to post more 2) give the entire group of people there a bad image. (see bipolarbear0 as an admitted case of this)

Where the ratios for those stand, I am not certain. /r/conspiracy has a lot of issues, like brigades and vote manipulation from places like /r/conspiratard who revel in the dumbest things people can say on /r/conspiracy . It really ruins things, and you can see it in the /new/ page where serious conspiracy-related topics are buried by disinformation and fluff. The moderators have made no attempts to improve the quality or encourage more sensible conduct, but at this point there's not much they could do because such a large portion of the people active are not really interested in actually discussing conspiracy theories seriously (at least, this is what I am supposing).

It's a problem that, I think, stems from not nipping crap in the bud before it began to flourish.

So in short, yes there are some racists on /r/conspiracy and no the bulk of the people actually interested in posting there are not racist.

GTF back to your corporations subreddits you society of Jesus warrior freak! Go bomb some babies or something for massah.

I had a good laugh out of that. Jesus Warrior Freak???? I think I just found some new flair...LOL.

Sorry, I mean to add, I can tolerate the zionist conspiracies but when a users posts "jews destroying [whatever]" in the whiterights subs and then submits "zionists destroying [whatever]" in /r/conspiracy really ticks me off. It's just them changing the wording of their posts to not immediately raise flags. It's their way of "going under the radar" and by radar I mean the mods.

Thanks for responding.

People will do ANYTHING for money

No shit. It gets ridiculous sometimes.

If you're a mod on those subs then you ARE one of the racists and a shill. Fuck you.

check out /r/isrconspiracyracist to see what I'm saying. It's hard for me to describe without writing a ton of stuff. By no means is it all of /r/conspiracy but many users who spam it with racist links are also part of the chimpire/whiterights subs on reddit. I've been talking to a few /r/conspiracy users about it and they recognize that it's happening but even they're not allowed to call the spamming racist users out about it because of some stupid rule the mods enforced. Voat on the other hand reminds me of the /r/conspiracy of old. That's why I'm in your subverse so much.

racist against who?

Honestly I don't think it's all that racist, outside of the illuminati was made by the Rothschilds, that might border on racist, but in general I disagree.

Honestly, why do you care? In the history of the world there has been exactly one solution to get rid of racism. That solution is empathy, forgiveness, and long suffering for the racists. Fighting them never works. Ignoring them never works. Killing them never works. Hating them never works. Hurting them never works. In the end they are usually better at fighting, ignoring, killing, hating, and especially hurting. If you want to know know what to do if you experience a racist, then learn from the example of Reverend Wade Watts. He was a black man that faced down the KKK as his neighbors. He didn't do it with pride or arrogance. He did it with limitless love and long suffering. In the end he converted a Grand Wizard of the KKK to give up on hate and follow Reverend Watts' example. Don't let fear guide how you will treat your fellow man. Don't let pain determine your future. Instead, find the many things you have in common with racists and show compassion for them. Every man believes his actions are right. Remember, if you had the genes of the racist and had lived his or her experiences, then you would be the racist.

Most of it is poisoning the well, like Bipolarbear, same techniques, except these people actually believe the shit they post, unlike BPB who was just doing it to move the goal posts and poison the well in order to malign the sub.

part of the racists, it should be mentioned, are acting deliberately like that, and may intend to darken conspiracies image in others eyes. repeat offenders have even been outed as mods of other default subreddits.

What is "The Chimpire" ?

I'm not that familiar with Reddit to be honest but I assure you there is a coordinated effort to assert racism. Unfortunately it is here at voat as well.

I think most of the other main subs on Reddit are way worse, and I really don't think /r/conspiracy is anywhere near as bad as them. The only/main problem I have with /r/conspiracy is that it's under the Reddit umbrella, and we all know what that means. I like alternatives and I very much like it here so far :)
