Half your posts on reddit are white bread bull shit toeing a line. Do you even remember how to be aggressive? Can you even get tired of shit, or call out something because you don't like it?

I will echo this comment. Post the split, I have found both communities to be healthier, because the dichotomy between the preference in approach (hilariously aggressive vs. not) can be expressed by their users.
I don't find much value in talking shit to people here; I think you are more likely to alienate them with calls for raw aggression when KIA2 exists and caters to that and many (most?) of us post in both.
Doing this here is like screaming in the library, just like telling KIA2 to keep it down and chill the fuck out would be like going to a racecar track and lecturing about the noise.
De-redditing this place and getting our teeth back is WHY WE'RE HERE.
I prefer a measured, reasoned, calm approach. Do not show yourself to be the raving lunatic your enemies paint you as.
This comment makes me crazy. We're dealing with people who chemically castrate kids and want the kind of child grooming that has pre teen kids dressing like adult sex workers... but we're going to stand here and be like.... we don't want to sound crazy...
THAT SHIT IS FUCKING CRAZY
We're not trying to appeal to the crazy people. We're trying to appeal to normal, rational people, who are still the majority, believe it or not.
If they see them running around flinging shit everywhere, and us having reasonable discussion, who do you think a normal, uninitiated person will side with more often than not?
If both sides are running around like crazy people flinging shit, then they'll think we're both crazy.
Talk calmly and act rationally.
They would prefer to rule over the ashes of what KiA used to mean rather than risk having a post that is fun or off topic.
Play by your enemies rules and you always lose
Wait, I thought being aggressive, getting tired of shit, and calling out things you don't like were the enemies' rules.
Don't give me that pacifist shit.
"Ooh you attacked me. I would be a fool to stop to you. I'd rather die."
I said don't play by their rules. Not don't use their tactics.
You are making a critical error in assuming I am saying "don't fight back" when attacked. I am saying don't start fights you have no reason to be in in the first place.
Dancing a line towards MovieBob status with that wording, there.
I've only seen that dude mentioned here. He's like a feminist or something right? What am I saying similar?
MovieBob quite famously stated during GamerGate:
This is where you are saying something approaching MovieBob by advocating for the enemies' tactics.
MovieBob is a morbidly obese SJW most notorious for saying "no such thing as a bad tactic, only bad targets", which effectively encompasses the SJW approach to dealing with people they disagree with, and shows a complete lack of principles, morals, or empathy for other human beings.
Edit - not saying you have that lack, saying MovieBob does, just for clarity.
Do you view this as an inconvenience to ignore or a hostile group designed to take from you?
Because morals and empathy don't mean shit to people who want you erased.
Once you hit total war, negotiations are done.
It's fight or assimilate.
Rules have been adjusted initially, and will be adjusted further, as we don't have many of the restrictions from above to worry about here for things like email campaigns making a comeback. The key thing, though, is finding worthwhile campaigns to fire up that remain within our focus. We aren't here to play political tribes, and we aren't here to go after nobodies who have no power to actually do anything.
Five years ago, I would say that we should continue contacting advertisers and letting them know what we think about SJW antics. But thanks to the poisoning of discourse that is the direct result of corporations using SJWs as their attack dogs, I doubt this approach will be successful. We have allowed our enemies to beat us into submission by using their platforms and letting them control our speech. But getting aggressive is counter productive. SJWs are great at flash mob outrage, twitter storms and shock trooper tactics, but they fizzle out due to lack of discipline, internal squabbling and the fact that they're incapable of acting without being let by their taskmasters.
My advice is - be wary of any attempts at demoralisation (the amount of doom and gloom on reddit's KIA is embarassing), double check the publisher and studio before buying anything (anyone donating money to looters and terrorists is no go), do not use non - pseudonymous social media for anything other than the most banal, family friendly content, back up important data, use compromised platforms only for exposing fraudsters, demagogues and harasses. And most importantly - drink water - it's good for you.
