lolcow
sadistic nihilism

After the revolution, “lolcow” will be one of the code phrases that doesnt even send your name and location to the secret police, it straight up detonates the chip in your neck instantly.
I don’t even know what that word means, I googled it and a bunch of wack forums popped up.
Sounds like 4chan shit.
Its actually even worse than 4chan shit. Its Kiwifarms shit.
I’m pretty sure it started on 4chan and kf just ran with it bc I remember people posting about “oh so exploitable lolcows” on /b/ back in like 2006 (maybe before?). There was a section for lolcows on ED too. How old is kf?
Keffals is doing a thing right now with ShoeOnHead called “Why we left the left” and is wearing a blue hat, and changed her icon to one wearing it too, that says “Please be patient I have autism.”
This is a live link so may poof.
You can rewind it. Seems like sh0e is gone. Shoe was saying how people hold you to a standard you never asked to be put on. So what I’m gathering is Keffals never wanted the attention so she’s burning the good will she garnered. Very well.
Keffels said she used to be a member of the Communist Party of Canada and am not anymore because she thinks “The Tankies are Cringe As Fuck”
Someone tell keffals that unlike Shoe, she’s not a cis woman and there really is no alternative for her other than the left that won’t end in a concentration camp.
lmao i know someone who met keffals irl back when she was in the CPC and shes literally always been trying to start shit. Thered been a general consensus in the party for a while that shes a hack clout-chaser and generally a shitty person. Also apparently she rarely knew what she was talking about or did much research before opening her mouth on basically any topic. seems like she was starting drama long before she quit the CPC over ‘ML hypocrisy’ or some shit
I remember hearing her on the RevLeft episode with her back then. I thought it was cool there was some Canadian communist presence. Check out her linked Twitter and she says she’s leaving due to the CPC’s support of modern China, which I thought was odd because the CPC and the CPC-ML parties in Canada pretty obviously split in the '90s due to CPC being pro-China and the CPC-ML taking the Hoxhaist line. How she was a member of the party for months or years and unaware of this was bizarre at the time, but makes more sense now. I also think she had control of the Ontario Communist Party’s YT channel because I was looking for what the last audio/video recording of Michael Parenti to see what’s up with him and in 2017/2018 the Ontario CPC’s FB page has a link to an audio interview with him which I believe was/is the last public recording of him and it led to their dead YouTube account that seemed to be deleted around the same time she left. Not sure, but I think she nuked some of the Ontario CPC’s internet accounts on the way out and took from us more Michael Parenti material.
This is what happens when a person misunderstands that material conditions guide community growth and that physically brute forcing a community from one to another requires a very considerable amount of effort and care to perform.
A community grows in steps, at each step of the way policy is formed based on occurrences in that community and culture alongside it. Each new policy and the resultant culture is formed out of every previous thing that ever occurred in that community.
A bunch of people are there but they’re there for a different kind of community, a different kind of content, a different kind of culture.
In order to transition a community from one thing you don’t want it to be to another very different thing you need to consider things such as who the users are. You will need to reshape who the userbase is in order to cross a threshold from disapproval to approval. Slow purges are required to achieve this in a number of ways. One of the benefits of purges is that if you’re removing one “type” of person you’re usually making a community attractive to a different type. This obviously assumes that you have the growth to absorb the losses of the purges too. Also this can’t happen in a short timeframe, it’s a process that takes at least half a year to get right.

Small example: Hexbear :gui-trans:
Two rounds of purging over a few months of anti trans posters to make Hexbear safer for trans ppl
Honestly the funniest part of the purges was how easy it was to not get purged and people still managed to fail. People were really like “Be nice to your trans comrades and pick a pronoun from the drop-down list? Sorry I’ll take my chances in the gulag”
