Politics on /cyb/

Can we please delete all politics threads in /cyb/. We have one thread about asylum seekers and another one about Anarcho Socialism, both of them are near the top in the index and both of them are cancerous. I think that unless it is an ideology which ties directly into cyberpunk itself it should be kept to /r/. Trans-humanism, Technocracy and Crypto-anarchism should be allowed because they facilitate conversation about cyberpunk. Just about everything else devolves into /pol/ style bickering where everyone is creating strawmen and getting upset. I mean conversations tend to go like this. >I am an Anarcho-socialist >That means you want to take my rights away dosen't it. >Hey but you want to take my rights away >is not >is too >is not >is too Fucking cancer.

Similar question. This is a cyberpunk themed board, therefore all posts in other categories are usually somewhat cyber related. We also have /r/ for misc. What exactly goes in cyber is beyond me b/c it seems like cyber would be for misc. As long as I've been here (about a year), cyb has been a containment board. Popular threads like "Is this cyb?" (If you aren't sure, do a search or read a book, don't ask), /pol/ and /leftypol/ garbage, and survivalism/conspiracy theory stuff ends up there. Technocracy/Crypto-anarchism or whatever flavor of politics you want to discuss almost always devolves into flaming. Politics, religion, and the like are hard enough to discuss civilly in real-life and the internet just exaggerates things even further. Transhumanism could easily fall under /r/ as well and you'd probably get more educated responses. I guess what I'm saying is cut your losses and try posting in /r/.

>>7850 I think they should stay. And this is coming from someone who is from /cyb/ but i never post in the political threads. However, politics are cyb, no really they play a huge part into Cyberpunk. I'd completely understand removing political related posts if they were coming up a lot in a place such as /tech/ because politics are rarely related to it. However i would object to removing political related posts from /drg/ for quite obvious reasons. Politics are very related to cyb too. To fair to you, i haven't been in those threads, so my analysis is flawed to a point, but removing things such as that, imho is not the best idea. Just my 2 cents.

my 2 cents: politics are basically inescapable, if we removed blatant politics there'd still be discrete politics. as a user, I'm going to be skimming these threads more often and reporting posts that violate the rules. I'm tired of the mindset that if something is political it gets a free pass on quality beccause of free speech or whatever I'm also fuarrrking exhausted with this bystander mentality about reporting posts. I don't want to be the only person doing it, and I feel like as long as these complaints are real nobody is trying real hard to report shitposts in /cyb/ politics threads.

They are not, cyberpunk is a sub genre of sci-fi >I'd completely understand removing political related posts if they were coming up a lot in a place such as /tech/ because politics are rarely related to it. However i would object to removing political related posts from /drg/ for quite obvious reasons. Politics are very related to cyb too. In some cases they are, but flat out making a political thread is only making it worse, people brew soykaf and is only going to spread to the rest of lainchan. that being said i don't want full no political talk, but making generals only brews soykaf.
