Folks, it appears Kuro5hin is dead:

The site was founded by Rusty Foster in December 1999, having been inspired by Slashdot.[10] Kuro5hin's membership once numbered in the tens of thousands,[11] but its popularity declined significantly from its peak in the early 2000s.[13] On May 1st, 2016, the site was closed down permanently.

I didn't visit it. It seemed then like the bunker where the tinfoil hat brigade hung out. In the Slashdot days it served as the guardrail for conventional wisdom. But now that the tinfoil hat brigade has been entirely vindicated, and Kuro5hin is dead, it makes me a little sad. What are your favorite memories of Kuro5hin, and will we see its like again?

    Why would anyone want to get off to a Jewess?

    Natalie Portman is a Jewess!

      More like: "Why would anyone want to get off to a Jewess?"

      Here, the reader agrees, thinking "Who would do such a thing?"

      Then it hits: "Natalie Portman is a Jewess!"

      The reader is now in shock at what he just learned. He just sits there staring at the words, unable to move. Then he wipes his face with his hand and remembers if and how many times he got off to the Jewess and vows never to do it again... unless he already knew the race of said actress and therefore does not watch any of her movies and does not get off to her.

      There really are people who do not care about such things, but those are the brainwashed passive sheep. And there are others who look at the actors list and see if there are any undesirables in there and head the other way if there are Jews and their friends to be found. That is the way it is.
