Races divides people because the rich like it that way.

Brake them to break the cycle.

This I agree with. But you can only break the cycle by financially empowering those in poverty.

I've heard this before. If this were true, why hasn't there been more effort from people who win the lottery? Get a record deal? Get signed for a sports team? Etc.

I personally think that this is happening, but there are so many people who don't have large disposable incomes compared to those that do, so it's like trying to drain the ocean with a cup. Plus, for you to know it's happening consistently, someone has to report it. Now, what has been described here sounds very positive, and we all know positivity doesn't get as much attention as unnecessary anger. So there's that angle out the window.

But the worst part out of all of this is the naivety. Why would financially empowering those in poverty break the cycle? That completely disregards human nature. It's the same reason why full communism/socialism will never work. Only in hypothetical solutions, where everyone has no interests, ulterior motives, desires or struggles with moral dilemmas. In order for the "empowerment" angle to work in any real capacity, requires the population to be heavily controlled by a state of leadership. If you leave people to their own devices under a hypothetical "financial empowerment" scheme, you will still have people stealing from each other, belittling of others for being lower class (no matter how that forms) and discrimination.

This isn't a problem that can be solved through policy.

I dunno if the plan is to eventually delete the hidden/locked threads, so I searched "Scorcho" in the GAF OT and the top result seemed awfully topical:

PoliGAF 2016 |OT6| Delete your accounts

For a moment I thought to request a recovery that thread.  It just feels wrong having something like that wiped.
But on second thought I imagine El Scorcho would be one of the first to call out the shit Evilore has pulled. 

This whole Evilore thing is a mess.  For all its faults I liked browsing GAF and, for the most part, I was ok with the Social Studies Warrior takeover of the forum.  It was never as good as its earlier days, but it being a somewhat safe space for several communities was nice.  I'm a liberal.  It was a good news aggregator that I could at least trust not to have much "fake news" posted.  Thebore is a great supplement to escape the fuckery that comes with that echo chamber.  GAF+Bore was the best of both worlds.

This Resetera crap is just hideous.  I hope it gets better, but atm it's an ugly, boring, back-patting forum that feels more full of itself than the GAF community ever was.  It's early, things can improve.  But that fucking name.  That logo.  I also can't stand the habit of people adding an "ERA" to various threads.  Somehow it's more sloppy/obnoxious than Gaf's tendency to throw "Age" onto everything.

Speaking of "Age", I'm reminded again of the fuckawful handling of the Amirox scandal. 
Gah, nevermind.

I think it’s cute how they pretty much just took everything from GAF including that stupid content policy. I don’t think they actually thought about any of this. It’s like people who trace a drawing and learn from it vs people who trace a drawing and never even think about how the original artist did it.

Gaf had some really good design decisions: Not splitting things up into 50 sub forums, almost no tolerance for megathreads (new news new thread), a clean layout, and no post counter under a persons avatar avatar]

None of what you described is a good design choice....

I suppose it depends what you want.  Lots of trash posts? put a counter under people's names.  Stop people from using it as a news aggregator? put in lots of sub forums and have massive megathreads.  Not sure what a dirty layout would accomplish.

GameFAQs has a dirty layout. It certainly isn't clean.

If you think Neogaf wasn't liberal or left you are in serious denial.

I think those that claim.as much believe standard liberals aren't liberals they're left leaning Republicans. It's fucking infuriating because it becomes a game of who is the RealLiberal™, the liberal that didn't move to the faaaaaar left or the one that did and claims this is where liberals have been all along.

Maybe not 50 subforums, but here's the truth: GAF had grown too big for just two main forums. Having every single aspect of video games tied to one forum meant that discussion was impossible and meaningful posts were pointless because they'd get drowned out in the sea of people posting hot takes / 2 cents or people just quoting thesis statements going "good post". At the very least, a board for news and a board for general discussion topics would have helped users better sort between the type of thread they wanted to read / post in

This is, of course, what community was created for, but the moderation team was against those from day one. It was an unwelcome concession because, instead of wading through the shit plaguing the main boards, people would retire to their commumity of choice, where there was at least a chance of their voice being heard and read by likeminded people. Yet more than once I and others got berated by mods that would crack down on community threads for not wanting to integrate themselves with the rest of the site (and given how shit GAF had gotten by that point, who would?)

Mega threads already existed, they were just called OT and Discussion threads instead.

The Nintendo and Sony "leakers" derailed everything they touched by having people suck up to them and take every word they spoke as gospel. Every Verendus post or Laura Kate Dale tweet was guaranteed to ensure a flood of dumb reaction gifs. It also encouraged a bunch of copycats that liked to coyly post "uh oh my sources are telling me something big!!" so they could get attention too. I guess it was a distraction from the fact that the last real GAF leak was, what, Cboat?

You're missing something. No one is being banned for expressing their opinion. You think they could have that thread at gaf without the mods reeeeeeing about it and going ham quelling any dissent telling the OP that there was nothing worth raging about.

This thread is actuall a fantastic example as to why reset so far is better than gaf when it died. People are outright calling him a clown and belittling his argument when gaf at the point when it died would have been at bat for only the offended parties.

The thread where I went out at gaf is a great example.

Speaking as a eurotrash social-democrat, who's both studying and working in different leftwing environments, all I can say is that I'm very glad that no one here behaves like the extremist loonies at GAF.

Having only two main topic boards is ridiculous once a board reaches a certain size. It just doesn't work. It's why people ended up retreating into specific community threads and never leaving. It's just a mess and it gives a feeling that you can't retreat from whatever current issue is riling everybody up. I detest Trump. And there should be threads on a board to point out the daily shitiness/racist stuff he does. But you don't need 10 different trump threads on your front board everyday. You either need to moderate that down and focus the threads or move political discourse (or whatever subject is prone to creating that many threads) to a specific area if it is that popular.

Same goes with gaming side when a new game comes out and suddenly there are 20 different threads about that game for the week. It's annoying. Not because the discussions can't or shouldn't be had. But because they choke off all other discussion.

It's because on just about every single issue, he tied it back to economic inequality. I don't call him the Derek Zoolander of politics for no reason.

I'm sure he'd be great on social policy too, far far better than Trump or any Republican. He just wasn't great at talking about it.

Yeah it's probably because you have a hillary hard on

Yeah no.

He has exactly one subject that he talks about in any depth. All the damn time. He's extremely limited on just about any topic that isn't income inequality.

That's fine in the Senate. I just wanted someone more well-rounded in the big chair.

And I don't have a Hillary hard-on. I voted Obama in the 08 primary, and would have done so again had he been able to run in 16 and for some reason there had been a primary. Probably would have voted Biden if he'd run. But he didn't, and it's a shame.

Sorry to talk about something gaming related, but after some experimentation I think 65" may be the perfect size for modern 4k gaming if you sit about 2m (6.5ft) from the screen. Any larger, and you need to move further away. 65 inch is a bit large for playing retro systems.

And to do that you have to weaken the rich and educate the masses on why racism and classicism is bad, otherwise we end up with a new class of rich and powerful to exploit the next group. Racism doesn't exist in a vacuum.

How do you educate them?  Because what is happening now is that a bunch of hopeless despairing rural white people feel like they are being told they are privileged.  They get angry, they vote for the angry 'burn it down' candidate.

By having white folk talk to white folk in a language they can better absorb that message in.

[H.I.V.E.]

If you think Neogaf wasn't liberal or left you are in serious denial.

I think the point is they weren’t pushing a leftist economic agenda so much as playing the identity politics game.  That’s where the banning and dogpiling came from at least.

They constantly shit on Bernie Sanders for being "too focused on economic inequality."

It's like they're always annoyed by that. "Left" my ass, these people are rightwingers but too politically uneducated to realize it.

That's the real takeaway from it all. Everyone is goobergate.
