I am pretty sure there were a lot more women on SA in the web 1.0 days (when that was generally rare) than there are now.

a bunch of shitty authors
Someone should quote Marx's views on Jews and blacks (and Mexicans, and American colonialism) in that thread (emphasis mine):Lol at the 'Leftist Lit' thread that was started in The Book Barn. It's the most sophomoric list of writers. They're all important historically in an ethnography of the Left, but they are all deeply flawed thinkers and writers with books that are anywhere from factually wrong, to logically unsound, to patently absurd. From the OP:
Zinn is defended on the basis 'Well, his bias is obvious, and all histories are biased and he's just honest about it, so he's actually good' (all writers may be biased and it will affect their works, but the degree varies hugely, and Zinn is in the 'lol, partisan nonsense' part of the spectrum). Freud is defended because 'Well, his instincts were in the right direction'.
It's actually kind of reassuring, reading this thread - yes, as a conservative who is critical of the Left, I really have read the stuff their ideologues buy into most heavily (everything in that list bar Franktz Fanon and Naomi Klein, anyway) and I'm not missing anything!
Good to have further confirmation that SA leftists are so indifferent intellectually.
WALTER E. WILLIAMS: Did you know that Karl Marx was a racist and an anti-Semite?

Most people who call themselves Marxists know very little of Karl Marx's life and have never read his three-volume "Das Kapital." Volume I was published in 1867, the only volume published before Marx's death in 1883. Volumes II and III were later edited and published in his name by his friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels. Most people who call themselves Marxist have only read his 1848 pamphlet "The Communist Manifesto," which was written with Engels.
Marx is a hero to many labor union leaders and civil rights organizations, including leftist groups like Black Lives Matter, antifa and some Democratic Party leaders. It is easy to be a Marxist if you know little of his life. Marx's predictions about capitalism and the "withering away of the state" turned out to be grossly wrong. What most people do not know is that Marx was a racist and an anti-Semite.
When the U.S. annexed California after the Mexican-American War, Marx wrote: "Without violence nothing is ever accomplished in history." Then he asked, "Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?" Friedrich Engels added: "In America we have witnessed the conquest of Mexico and have rejoiced at it. It is to the interest of its own development that Mexico will be placed under the tutelage of the United States." Many of Marx's racist ideas were reported in "Karl Marx, Racist" a book written by Nathaniel Weyl, a former member of the U.S. Communist Party.
In 1887, Paul Lafargue, who was Marx's son-in-law, was a candidate for a council seat in a Paris district that contained a zoo. Engels claimed that Paul had "one eighth or one twelfth nigger blood." In an April 1887 letter to Paul's wife, Engels wrote, "Being in his quality as a nigger, a degree nearer to the rest of the animal kingdom than the rest of us, he is undoubtedly the most appropriate representative of that district."
Marx's anti-Semitic views were no secret. In 1844, he published an essay titled "On the Jewish Question." He wrote that the worldly religion of Jews was "huckstering" and that the Jew's god was "money." Marx's view of Jews was that they could only become an emancipated ethnicity or culture when they no longer exist. Just one step short of calling for genocide, Marx said, "The classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way."
The fact Rich isn't shutting this down to protect his now meager, compared to last year, take from his paypigs is the single thing making me think that there may actually be a sale. He never interacts with the forums unless it's to cry for money or real life is getting fucked with. Can you give any kind of ballpark on the amount of money it's cost him so far? He isn't completely checked out of the forums right now and he loves to cry about money. I think a fake and gay transfer would have happened by now if that was the plan and I think he'd be protecting his sole source of income if he isn't planning on selling. There's still plenty for Jeff and him to fuck up so it doesn't go through, but I'm starting to believe Jeff may have offered enough to entice Lowtax.

The ol' taxman says that the site will be sold by the end of the month. This will definitely happen, though Jeffrey's probably texting him a bunch of threats for trying to use Something Awful and triggering all the poor, poor goons who dropped his parents' dox in his stream chat last night.
Granted, since Richard is such a damn genius, he didn't realize that the dox had been deleted from chat within seconds and proceed to read them aloud and complain that people were harassing his parents.
Meanwhile, the busiest thread in QCS plods on:

His mom had cancer and is dying now for what, 10 years now?
You can't believe anything Lowtax says.
I wouldn't have it any other way.The state of Something Awful in the year of our Lord 2020, folks.
You're just being a qanon fox news chud. What little girl hasn't blown up a used condom and put it under their top as mock breasts?Holy shit that is a fucking gross probation. The clips I've seen from "cuties" are not just 'teehee dance troupe' stuff, they were deeply revolting and a super duper bad call at almost every level of the film making chain. That poster should not have been probated for pretty much having a very natural reaction to some absurdly pedobait stuff.
Aatrek rides again it seems.

PHIZ KALIFA holds Something Awful completely harmless in this matter, despite that the dox that were dropped had never previously appeared on this site and despite that Something Awful goons have a documented history of engaging in gay ops against Richard and his children. After making this post and punctuating it with a triumphant cry of "fuck lowtax," PHIZ KALIFA most likely went back to researching ways to deprive Richard of his ability to pay child support as well as praying for the destruction of Kiwi Farms, the doxing forum who hates lowtax.

Athanatos, a Something Awful administrator, wisely diagnoses Richard as needing to take some time away from the internet.

I observed that Athanatos is very experienced when it comes to using the internet in moderation. Good for him!
Multiple complaints in that QCS thread about "having to see" the announcement. No-one's being forced at gunpoint to click on it. What a bunch of babies.
A couple of truth bombs.
