badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

MODERATORS
same, in our family we weren't religiously Stalinist but we celebrated all the holidays, like holodeen when we went from door to door to eat grain
Look, most scholars now believe that there was a historical Stalin, but we don't know about who he was or his teachings, since the histories were actually compiled much later by Stalinists. That is why I believe that he may have been a good man, but Stalin wasn't the literal Dictator of the Proletariat, and his words about how we need a prophesied "Man of Steel" to fight Lex Luther were likely later embellishments.
If Stalin did not exist, communists would have to invent him!
Trotskyists
Stalin is just a folktale that Trots use to get their kids to behave
I'd you don't put your toys away Stalin will send you to the gulag where they don't have any toys.
it's for the toys
I don't like the fact that I understood this post immediately
I only believe in a liberal Stalin.
Biblically accurate Stalin
Stalinots
deistic stalinists
I only believe in a Literary Stalin
Stage 1: Reflection of a Basic Stalin
In this stage, a sign or image is seen as a faithful reflection of a real, underlying Stalin. This is the "sacramental order" where signs are believed to represent something real and truly Stalin.
Stage 2: Masking and Denaturing Stalin
Here, signs and images begin to mask and distort the underlying Stalin, rather than reflecting him accurately. This is the "order of maleficence" where the sign is an unfaithful copy, hinting at an obscure Stalin it cannot encapsulate.
Stage 3: Masking the Absence of a Stalin
This stage involves signs pretending to represent Stalin, but with no original or underlying Stalin to represent. The sign masks the absence of a real referent, claiming to represent a Stalin that doesn't exist.
Stage 4: Pure Simulacrum
In the final stage, the sign becomes a pure simulacrum, no longer related to any Stalin whatsoever.
Signs merely reflect other signs, and any claim to Stalin is just another sign, creating a hyperreal, self-referential world.
Conservatives believe every liberal is a Stalin-Mao hybrid
