SoylentNews is about a third funded for the six month period through the end of December, a bit over $1200 out of $3500 asked. Seems pretty cheap to me for what's offered, and only needs a few more people to open their wallets to stay funded through the end of this year.

You mean a playground for you to troll and make the world a worse place? Seems pretty expensive for what you're offering.

Yup, these days the only reason to check this site is to see what the slightly less crazy republicans are saying. Same old, reality doesn't matter, obey or die; gross stuff. The wheel of time review shows they are still triggered by skin colors.

It's pretty hard for them to be heard underneath all the shit. Quite a few have given up even though staff got right of the outright fascist/eugenics/kill-all-the-jews bird that invited all the nazis.

"a playground"
I know reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, what with your political filters modifying content to better match your expectations but "personal trolling ground" come on. Wonder if the millionth time you're clubbed in the head by your own failures will be when you finally self-reflect.

Humility is overrated, especially when dealing your sort of hypocritical games. After all, where's your humility? Where do you practice what you preach?

Alright, let's be reasonable. Not all the non-Republicans are bat shit crazy. But they need to be taken to task for allowing the batshit crazies to speak for them

Indeed. Because oddly, that AC said nothing of those numerous non-Republicans.
Nobody speaks for anyone else here, including you. There is no need or reason for your "taking to task" - it didn't happen nor is it your business even if it did. SN is here so that everyone can speak their mind, even those crazy people. But I notice that some people have trouble understanding that concept. Perhaps it's time for some self-reflection on your part.

You can't, because the fuckers actually believe the dumbest shit!
Practucally just assume they are always lying, should cover just about every conversational scenario.

Nice self-own showing that you don’t know what an actual effort of good faith behavior looks like and further revealing your trolling shtick.

So you claim without evidence. Detail is one of the ways we can tell.
You're not saying anything here. And anything on the internet needs to pay for access to the internet. There's nothing magic about the need for modest levels of funding.

I doubt it. I think rather it's just the same small number of ignorant louts whining that I'm not agreeing heartily with them.
What's sad here is I could copy/paste years your post as a reply to your post, and it would be just as valid. There's been a lot of empty talk in this discussion, just like your post above, of reason, good faith, reality, self-awareness, etc. But a tell that there's something deeply wrong with these posts is their infinite reusability. You can use them anytime, anywhere with as much relevance as now. That is, there is zero context and content to these posts.
A good post can't be so reused. My belief is that a good post has details, and other features that indicate one has thought about the subject and demonstrate a willingness to engage in honest discussion. That you expressly evade doing that shows us that you have problems with these things.
You don't help anyone with these empty quips. But I doubt that is the point of them. Rather it's just a poor rhetorical trick for dodging real, interesting debate.
If SN really were as useless and unimportant as the one or possibly more AC claimed in my journal, then why are you here? Why did these posts crop up so quickly (the first was within 15 minutes of the writing of the journal) if nobody was interested in SN?
