It's currently a problem of access to gigabits through punybaud.

You see that when there's a critical post, making a point exactly and succinctly. Click on the # and you'll see 3-up and 4-down votes, to keep it suppressed. You know that if there were 8-up votes, they'd find 9-down to counter it. Frankly, I don't think there are more than a half-dozen downers here... they're just very dedicated.

It must be some sort of brigade. It can't possibly be that people actually think it is a bad post.

It's simple. When discussing a topic like Critical Race Theory, don't point out the circular definitions. [youtube.com] Don't mention the child-like sophistry of the Hegellian Dialectic:
Definitely don't point out the underlying psychopathology at play [russh.com] or provide receipts. [twitter.com] Don't point out that Leftists wouldn't be upset about Republican bills banning race essentialism if these bills didn't ban CRT. Don't cite Gramsci [wikipedia.org] or point out that attacks against the family unit are contrary to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Never mention the liberal order is being upended by attacks on the foundational concept of natural law. [thepostmillennial.com]
If you do any of those things, you should fully expect to be modded down!

Above is an example.
When they drop a bunch of boilerplate text trying to get you to take the bait, don't let them drive the conversation. As they attempt to drift the topic, don't go. They'll look exactly like what they are. And for fun, add something that will convulse them... like God.

It's an example of someone's agenda. Imagine thinking that "Happy Memorial Day" is Flamebait!
