https://archive.today/USM7uWe need to discuss future relations with #GG as a whole and our involvement. Most /pol/lacks interested in #GG do not identify as /pol/ for obvious reasons and participate simply as any other anon. Shills posing as /pol/ or misguided /pol/lacks are both being used as examples of sliding discussion.
While #GG actively crosses over with /pol/ topics by its very nature, its good for our brand of discussion to have a presence, but at the same time that presence is used as ammo to stir conflict between posters, slide threads, and poison relations with #GG (mainly those unfamiliar with /pol/).
We long ago agreed that #GG needs to win on its own terms and multiple forces are interested in using #GG to push their own agenda. Shills spout the narrative that /pol/ wants to use #GG for its own agenda. The more vocal they are, the more frustrated posters they make, the more likely they will believe anti-/pol/ shills as long as
it makes /pol/ go away. Some may have even resigned to this out of ignorance and annoyance.
Shills want posters to be so tired of /pol/ and they do this by fabricating complaints. This is not a new tactic, but it has seen a resurgence which is why awareness for this issue is important. Their end goal is to have users complaining about /pol/ on their own and become useful idiots. This will enable them to dismiss certain issues as /pol/ related and people agreeing.
In some ways, the obscurity of this board is the reason why those shills haven't advocated for topics to be taken to /pgg/.
