GOOD MORNING PATRIOTS!
Today is a big day - after five years, The Donald has rebranded to Patriots.win.
Don't worry: your accounts still work exactly the same, posts are the same, comments are the same, and the moderators are the same.
The first reason goes without saying... we're in a period of transition with yesterday's fraudulent inauguration. It will likely be some time before Trump gets back to actively communicating with his base, but we intend to do what we can to keep our part of this movement as active as ever.
We're not turning against Trump - not at all, our branding and our rules will remain the same for the immediate future. If Trump moves forward with the rumored Patriots Party, then we're perfectly positioned to fully support him in that endeavor.
For now, we'll shift our focus to calling out China, censorship, and Biden's evils that the media doesn't cover. We now have a more important role than we have since November 2016.
It is our duty to step up and call out the disaster that this administration will be.
We also intend to do more to get people involved in elections at a local level, including the potential of more localized communities.
This rebrand does not indicate a change in moderation policy.
The secondary reason for our rebrand is a precarious situation with the old domain. The TL;DR is that we don't have control over it, and we cannot risk that any longer.
TheDonald.win was always meant to be owned by a group, not a single man. Unfortunately, the domain was registered by a single moderator during our initial discussions about the prospect of moving away from Reddit. We pushed for the domain to be transferred to a shared legal entity before we ever released, but despite promises, it never happened, and we launched our Reddit backup in a hurry without getting the situation resolved. We knew this would come back to haunt us - and perhaps it has.
The man with control of the domain left the mod team a week ago, out of fear for himself and those around him. While he stated just two days ago to the media that he'd hand the domain over to one of our moderators with whom he has a good relationship, unfortunately that wasn't true, and doesn't look like it will be happening.
Given all of the above, the risk is too great. We're rebranding to Patriots.win, which is legally owned by five of our long-term moderators.
This also explains why we were pushing the backup domains so hard, and why I made a post warning you all about the potential of an 'FBI Honeypot'. That absolutely remains true, but the number one threat was a backstabbing by our own people, which thankfully has not occurred.
The final obstacle is that since we don't have control over the old domain, we don't have the contact with our domain registrar (Epik) that we should have, and our previous contact (the man with control of the old domain) is no longer relaying any information to us from Epik.
We hope and expect that TheDonald.win will continue to point to our servers even after our rebranding. We're incredibly important to the MAGA movement, and it would be a great disservice to try to take us down, especially during this tumultuous time.
Remove that cult fucking phrase "racism" from the damn rules and replace it with prejudice if you must, but for the love of god...STOP ENABLING THEIR INSANE CULT LANGUAGE THEY USE TO DESTROY US WITH!!!!!!!
Leaving racism in there is fine by me because it's referring to actual racism (ie: hating someone just because they're a different skin tone than you). Just because it's a coopted term doesn't mean it can't still maintain it's original meaning.
It is not an actual term. It never was. You may not be old enough, but it was totally fabricated by the marxist cultists...It is terrifying how many of you kids are so brainwashed by this.
The correct term is PREJUDICE that is what was used back in the 80's before the all the cult "isms" were pushed.
How do you know it is a cult term? ONLY THEY CAN APPLY IT. ONLY THEY DETERMINE WHAT IT MEANS. IT IS NOT APPLIED CONSISTENTLY TO ALL GROUPS.
STOP FUCKING USING IT LIKE IT IS A LEGITIMATE TERM!!!!!!
You have emboldened this marxist cult and single handedly given them the power to take over the culture.
Hey man.
I have a secret to tell you. It might surprise you, so be prepared.
Languages have new words invented all the time when people find it necessary to describe something that hasn't yet been described.
This is an information war and allowing the left to invent those new words doesn't help.
Hey kid, I have a secret to tell you. You have been lied to by a marxist cult. Sorry you ego won't accept it.
Any term that can only be defined and applied by members of a cult is not a legitimate term. Please defend using a cult term. Please.
This is why our side loses so often, easily manipulated fools.
lol the term racism was used loooong before the 80s. and it prejudice based on race. you know, like when they say white people are all hillbillies? that's racial prejudice aka racism
No, it wasn’t.
https://www.etymonline.com/word/racist
It was coined in the 30s to describe fascists. It wasn’t popularized until the 60s. Guess who popularized it? Commies.
OP is basically right and you guys are quibbling about minor details. Learn from your elders you stupid millennials. An honest but slightly mistaken take on history from an old pede is far more valuable than the leftist media narratives you’re following.
Actually that would be a joke. And white people laugh at it. People with a brain know wide sweeping statements like that aren’t true but are meant to toughen the skin of those who need it. That’s the difference.
No it absolutely was not except by communist radicals who are the cult who invented the term. You actually want to defend the cult phrase?
Fucking try it.
You fools are part of the problem.
I hate to get into the middle of someone else's argument, but... well Prejudice and Racist are not the same thing. No it's not a newly invented word. I don't know where you got that shit from. If you are racist you are obviously also prejudice. But.... b,b,b,buuuuuuuuuuuu ttttt t t t .... you can be prejudice and not be a racist. The word exists. No, marxists did not make up that word. It gets over used. Yes. But it is a real thing. If you're going to keep saying crazy nonsense like that, then I'm gonna have to direct you stage left. <<< DNC is that way.
They 100% made up that word. I can promise you are not even old enough to know when the term started showing up. You are lying and nothing but a useful idiot for marxist cult.
Define the term right now, and when I blow your definition out of the water I hope you ban yourself but being such a pathetic fake American.
Interesting
I hate everyone equally!
Truth. We don't stop talking about justice or charity just because some assholes misuse the words.
The cult of marxism did not invent the terms justice or charity you brainwashed fool...they DID invent the meaningless term of "racsim".
Define and defend it right now and I will fucking shoot down every attempt you make with historical events.
It is terrifying how much you kids ego will not allow you to see how much you have been manipulated with a cult language. I know it is difficult but you have to get past it, because every one of you who enable that cult phrase are a traitor to America. End of story.
So if I don't do as you say, you're going to stalk me around the site, disrupt all of my threads, and accuse me of actual crimes against the nation?
Now, see, I might've been willing to answer your question, but right now is the worst time to be in the habit of capitulating to that kind of behavior, so...sure, go ahead. I need a laugh.
Fuck that. Don't use their made up terms at all.
And it's not always skin colour, Asians are white mostly and face tons of racism, we just don't bitch about it like a certain group does.
I’m quite sure we mean judging someone by the color of their skin and not the content of their character with racism. Not the definition that’s literally anything the DNC disagrees with.
Any word that has different meanings depending on who is using it, is NOT a legitimate term.
If a fucking Scientologists walked up to and called you a "suppressive" would you grovel and say "I am not a suppressive because...."
No you would say get the fuck out of my face you insane cultists!
The cult term "racist" is no different. There is a reason they had to fabricate another term since prejudice had a consistent definition.
To the scientologist: "I'll gladly help suppress your insane fraudulent cult." To the critical race theorist: "Your entire philosophy is racist, not least but including your misuse of that term to accuse me based purely on my skin colour."
Racism is prejudice based on perceived race. If you're going to start demanding use of broader and more inclusive terms then you're going to have to end up at 'nasty' or 'not nice' or go full Orwell with ungood.
You are lost and part of the problem. Listen to your terrifying attempt to justify it.
Right, in this SJW, marxist cult world that you guys have enabled you are literally arguing that our current Orwellian insanity where words have power to ruin someone we need more cult defined terms.
I am blown away how brainwashed you kids are. You don't come up with more cultist terms to fight Orwellian take over of culture, you fight the premise that words period need to be weaponized. You have totally caved to the marxist cult.
Racism is NOT prejudice based on perceived race...look at that laughable definition.
You cannot label someone as "racist"...only approved cult members can. You cannot label something as "racist"...only approved cult members can.
Again, if a term has no consistent, definition then it is a cult term. How do you defenders not see this? Have you lost all ability for simple applied logic since you have been trained to immediately go into walk on eggshell mode about the topic?
The members of the cult have stated that blacks cannot be accused of "racism". How does that jive with your definition. Please defend your case for this cult term, I really can't wait to hear it.
Are you going to attempt to define what an insane cult term means as if you have a higher authority to define than the actual cult who coined it? Do you not see how flipping insane that is?
Parent post has a point though.
We do mean "racism" by the original definition, but in modern usage the word "racism" does indeed mean "a belief in opposition to the DNC", and a "racist" is anyone who holds such a belief.
U/maleitch has no valid point whatsoever, except that his username checks out.
The valid point is to not let Marxists control the language.
u/maleitch is letting Marxists control not only the language but his mind, acting a fool
Racism is an actual word. We know what it means. We can use it correctly.
Give no quarter to the sjw renaming convention. They never know what their own words mean anyway.
Jesus...you are a brainwashed fool beyond hope. Next you will be sucking dick to prove that "homophobe" is a an term as well.
Wow, based, quoting a rapist who had others write his speeches.
Trump picks women up by their pussy and had rape/infidelity allegations. I could care less too as Trump put our country first in his agenda every day.
Attack the idea not the man if you have issue with it. Nobody’s perfect and I’m pretty sure all of us have a few stones that could be lobbed on us. The logic behind King’s argument and movement is sound.
Trump never "picked women up by their pussy." He didn't grab them by the pussy either. That was a lie, trying to impress someone he shouldn't have been trying to impress.
King's argument was written by someone else and his movement was created by others. The guy was a cut out for liberal yankees and jews.
sounds like something a leftist handshake would say
Yes, leftists are very woke on MLK.
Agreed, this might be too much for the normies "WOOOAH A BASED BLACK GUY!!!" types to understand though.
"Prejudice" is the broader, original term, and it is better because it captures the behavior better.
"Racism" is a euphemism for "Race Prejudice," one of many forms of pernicious prejudice, such as race, creed, color or sex.
The better term is race prejudice -- deciding what a person is like based on ethnic group. It's even unscientific. There is only one race, and it is human.
But, all kinds of prejudice is wrong. Assuming all people from any given group have a particular quality is just ignorant, except for voluntarily aligned individuals with stated platforms.
"Race prejudice" is idiomatically incorrect. Racial prejudice is what you're looking for. It's synonymous with racism.
As Marxists use it today, racist is meaningless. They haven't said anything meaningful in ages.
One...you don't get to define the cult term of "racism" as you are not a member of the cult.
Are you qualified to call someone a racist? Are you qualified to determine if an action or even is "racist"? If so how does one get that training and qualification.
If a conservative calls something racist it isn't, but if a cult member of marxism calls something racist it is.
Black people cannot be "racists" because the definition changes depending on the needs of the cult.
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU BRAINWASHED KIDS THROW ALL LOGIC OUT OF THE WINDOW AND NOT SEE THIS! FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
Stop allowing idiots to control the language.
Give no quarter.
Fuck it, racism welcome. I'll fight you if you talk shit about my people, though. Merica.
