Oh, I agree with that, I'm the one here complaining about how overrun the thread is with these post. My basic position is that this stuff is what we're going to be arguing about when we lose the raise to build a silicon god to the CCP. I just understand why that is even if it depresses me.

I think you're on to something but that it's kind of more mundane outgroup vs fargroup stuff. The ICE protestors are genuinely closer to me ideologically in most respect than chauvismo parties but they exist in my life in a much more visceral way. During the BLM protests I stood on my roof and watched people that rhyme with this group ram a U-haul into store fronts on my block, I have footage of it on my phone.

It's just the historical formula, don't think we should mess with it too much but there is precedence of mega threads and I think they do work. The CW thread structure gets me to engage with topics I might not have opened a dedicated thread for.

I agree that it wouldn't be a science and in practice we might get some megathreads that in hindsight wouldn't have been necessary. But I think we should err on the side of false positives.

Right, I don't blame you or the other mods for not doing it. I would like it if we could have a general policy worked out though so in the future you or anyone else on duty would feel confident to throw one up even with like a placeholder OP. Nothing too explicit, just the general idea that it should be expected.

Seven out of Eleven posts and they're by far the largest threads. It's probably too late at this point but I'd like to suggest that in the future mods should exercise some judgement and make a megathread on events like this that are likely to generate a ton of back and forth discussion with an expectation of new information coming out over the course of days/weeks. Both because it is more convenient for the reader to be able to check a dedicated thread and because it makes it much easier to find the more general discussion for those of us who find the interesting angles of the subject to have already basically been exhausted.
Sorry, if it was unclear, 'this' is referring to the anti-ice contingent. I understand that the face is now middle aged white women but these were the people defending the riotous action during BLM as well.
