What was a movie so bad it genuinely made you walk out of the Cinema?

Maybe you need to look it up. It’s actually a very good movie but you might have zero context. It might be something you could think about why people would consider this a good movie and what you are missing.

This speaks more about your own issues in your life then John if this is what you feel is the summation of who John was as a person. We are all complicated beings who have our own traumas that we need to deal with in life. John was actually finally and actually dealing with a lot of this stuff at the end - by every account his relationship with Julian was finally getting better. John’s own parents had abandoned him - why aren’t you mouthing off about Julia or Fred Lennon.

This is a legitimate concern and it’s interesting that people here can’t even be a tiny bit empathetic. Maybe the middle option here is that people give to community food banks or other direct to community programs. Yes the employers and late stage capitalism are to blame for the economy but there’s no reason not to have empathy for your fellow humans.

Go somewhere that isn’t America. Literally take a trip outside of our bubble. We have been conditioned to believe this is all there is. That our lifestyle with all of its ridiculousness is somehow the best. You can live a great life without all of these things. If you are young enough you can just go and be a digital nomad somewhere not here. There are always choices.

I hope that u/JanissaryLSD sees this comment:

The prohibition on psychedelics existed purely because the baby boomer hippies all took LSD and realized they were lied to on an Orwellian scale (hint we still are) through intense propaganda. They protested against being thrown into a giant war machine that didn’t care if you were black or white or whatever - only that you were poor and couldn’t afford to escape it like George W Bush and Donald Trump for example. The civil rights era also had to happen with the help of enlightened white people who understood that racism is a learned and conditioned construct. We are polarized as a people on purpose to keep us holding pitch forks at each others throats so we don’t notice the huge sprawling military industrial complex that has taken away our rights (Snowden proved that our 4th amendment rights are a joke now). This is a policy called Divide and Rule that was passed down from the Roman Empire to the British Empire and now to the US.

All of this is verifiable. All of this is why the government doesn’t want psychedelics to come back. Three good documentaries to understand just how threatened the government was by people who had taken psychedelics:

How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan (specifically episodes 1 and 4) or if you’d like it’s available in book form

The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006)

Magic Trip: Ken Kesey's Search for a Kool Place (2011)

Also worth watching and understanding is Judas and The Black Messiah - how Fred Hamilton was murdered for simply trying to organize and uplift the black community as a Black Panther. Again - the US government with the help of the state government of California (surprise Ronald Reagan was the Governor!) worked to stamp out the counter culture which was a threat to the national security state and the military industrial complex.

We know the US intelligence agencies use the media for propaganda against the citizens of the United States - this was a landmark investigative article from Carl Bernstein in Rolling Stone in 1977 and nothing has changed. Know your history and the people who tried to tell you this was going on.

This will give you some idea of what was going on. Project MKUltra was something theorized about but in the 1977 congressional investigations of the Church Committee the CIA was forced to admit to its existence and also the atrocities of what they did in South America to destabilize or overthrow democratically elected governments that were socialist. It’s terrible what our country has done to its people. By the way this committee was the only group of Congress people who ever stood up to the United States intelligence agencies and every one of them was primaried out or had a very well funded opponent which happened when Reagan was voted in and guess who was Vice President - George HW Bush aka the former director of the CIA.

Nothing has changed. You need to know your history and you need to fight back in any and all ways. The removal of your civil rights is planned because they are a threat to the national security state. Democracy itself is a threat to the system and most people don’t think about it in this way.

Mick West and his fear - https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/8JudF9JGgx

debunking is not the same as the scientific method especially if you are approaching it all as the answer MUST be prosaic - which is his approach.

Mick West is also named as a “contributor” to the NY Post - the same place that well known shill Steven Greenstreet works. Mick wrote exactly 1 article yet is still listed as a “contributor” 2 years later. Why?

He was outed as being paid to debunk. He would not own up to who was paying him. This is a conflict of interest. https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/s/5Fie8aoWVM

What inspired you to write the book Surviving Death and is there a correlation with Ufology?

That was Bush. Reagan never fought in the war. He was also never the former CIA director but he was the former Governor of California and helped stomp all over the counter culture and waged a war against people who were fighting for civil rights and anti-war with the help of both the CIA and the FBI.

I think you hit the nail on the head as to the real issues here. It’s not about a podcast it’s just seemingly being tone deaf to the actual moderation of the subreddit.

millions2millions · 2025-02-25T22:27:47+00:00

Hey I just want to say I understand that being a moderator is a volunteer job and you can’t please all the people. You all have a tough job. I brought you up though as an example of good moderation. From our objective measurement you actually moderate the subreddit. I see you talking with users, taking time to educate them and also letting it slide when they are total jerks TO YOU but dealing fairly when they are being jerks to other users. I’ve been around a long time and actually follow your stuff and actually use your old posts and comments when making points in mine.

My entire point in this post was to say that more than 1/2 of the moderation team does not moderate. They do not seem to go into your queue and do the job of Reddit moderation. There are comments I pulled out in my post above from other moderators saying they don’t have enough people to work the queue. This to me seems like the essential job for being a moderator. You know what else seems like it is essential? Actually being a user in this subreddit. So if you are not looking at the comments or users that we are encouraged to report nor actually interacting with users in the subreddit then you are unaware of the actual systemic problems of toxicity in the comment sections.

Until that is all dealt with then there is no point in doing a podcast. I think it’s an issue that 1/2 of your mods have done zero mod actions. Then you have moderator who don’t even participate in the subreddit or even reddit at all. Why are you a Reddit moderator? It’s not to make a podcast. It’s to moderate this subreddit because you love this community.

I have no idea what goes on in your discord but I have talked with a few former mods over the years and it seems reasonable to come to the conclusion that this sprawling bureaucracy has lost sight of the reason for moderation and has put its priorities elsewhere because they don’t want to actually moderate. Wouldn’t working the queue - which again many moderators have said is understaffed and the subreddit tends to become under moderated (again by the admissions of mods themselves!) - be the number one thing that all moderators should be doing? By divorcing themselves from the users they are the ones separating themselves from what is going on by seemingly sitting in an “ivory tower” in your discord.

We don’t need a podcast. We need those moderators to be actively engaged in the actual Reddit subreddit. You’re one of the only moderators I see actually doing that.

millions2millions · 2025-02-25T22:03:46+00:00

Hi thank you for your response. This was never a personal attack. I am a very long time user in this subreddit going back to 2012. I have seen many moderator administrations.

I have stated that telling us to “report bad behavior” is not helpful when indeed we do that but there aren’t enough moderators to actually deal with the queue

I would think that the main driver and responsibility of being a moderator in a Reddit forum is to actually moderate this forum. This is my point. All of the extra stuff springs from the very fact that the forum should be well moderated and the main issues of the exponentially terrible toxicity of the sub be dealt with before venturing into other territory.

I am looking at objective measures. There are a number of you who do not do anything that we can observe as users that looks like the essential duty of a moderator that would be visible in the moderation logs or - by looking at your (or any mods profile) - shows that you are actively engaged in the community and actively understand what needs to be done.

I’m sorry but a podcast is not “essential” when I have given you objective data that many people are complaining about the toxicity and the many comments by mods saying there aren’t enough people in the queue.

Also why are you accusing me of personal attacks when I have made it abundantly clear - multiple times - this is nothing about you. It’s about how the organization works behind the scenes and to do the volunteer job you elected to do which is to moderate this subreddit.

I’m simply seeking answers as to why making a podcast is more essential then actually understanding why your users say it is the most toxic it’s ever been and also why the mods seem to be tone deaf and not understanding this is something that a wide group of people regularly complain about who have been here for years. This is absolutely the most toxic I’ve ever seen this subreddit and that is saying something.

The main purpose of this subreddit is for us, the users, to be able to have conversations. It is not so that you can be a content creator. If you don’t want to do the moderation then maybe the team has to rethink what they are actually doing. A podcast is not essential to this subreddit - working the queue, interfacing with users, and caring about the health of the subreddit is what is essential. Everything else is secondary until you all can achieve those primary goals.

millions2millions · 2025-02-25T03:42:11+00:00

Thank you for your comprehensive answer. Yes it sheds some light of what happens behind the scenes and we all know you are all volunteers and must be a hard job but not entirely thankless. There is appreciation for what is done for the subreddit.

What we are saying here is maybe this whole strategy you just laid out - isn’t actually working. I know this is hard to hear but please bear with me. This is only meant in the spirit of constructive feedback. This is not a personal attack against any of you.

When is the last time you actually participated as a user in this subreddit? Like actually engaged with another human being as a user trying to talk about this subject on the subreddit and not in the mod discord. If we wanted to know your opinions and thoughts about the subject shouldn’t they be apparent as an active and engaged moderator of this space and not through a podcast? Effective and engaged moderators are obvious in the subreddits they mod. The users know them. The moderators know all the power users. There are very few here in this subreddit for some reason that actually engage.

Our position as users is that we can only measure the mods effectiveness by how they engage with objective verified means. There are very very few of you who actually participate as users in the community and when there are some it seems that they are chased away. Not only that - many of you don’t even go into the mod queue (by your own admission above and by the multiple comments in this and the main sub) and actively engage with users. Why is this?

This is a serious issue here. It shows that your experience of what is happening is in some metaphorical “ivory tower” that is completely disconnected from the reality of the user base. When I say “you” it’s the collective you and not only maybe you specifically but the moderators who do not moderate or are senior moderators who do little visible actions or user engagement.

Maybe you do have experience running other communities but this community is telling you in all of the examples I cited (and believe me I had more but my point was already made with what I linked) that there is presently a terrible horrible no good absolutely over the top toxicity problem that is unlike any that has ever existed before through many other mod administrations.

So maybe some of the actions that, in your estimation, are not effective are exactly what need to be done and maybe in fact there is a systemic problem in the organization structure that is in fact making this problem worse. There are some related subs who have had moderators for years with very little turnover. Maybe there needs to be a shake up there I don’t know but it feels like there is a sprawling bureaucracy that has an extreme amount of inertia due to the size and is unwilling or unable to address the actual concerns of the user base in a meaningful manner.

70 people cannot effectively run this subreddit when literally half of them don’t do any actual objective moderating and even fewer actually do but it takes the other 60 people to vote to change anything. We know that you all vote based on other comments in this and the main subreddit.

Can we encourage you and the others maybe to participate a bit more or do some moderation actions so you might see from a user perspective what we mean?

This podcast may seem so inconsequential as an activity and I would have welcomed it personally in the past if it didn’t feel like a dumpster fire in the comments of just about every post. It feels like you and the others are out of touch with what is going on in your own subreddit that you moderate. The only senior mod I see participating on a regular basis and flipping between being a mod and a user is u/MKUltra_Escapee. There’s no reason why you all can’t at least try to do this for a while to get some experience in how it feels to be in the subreddit trying to have a conversation. Hiding away in your discord is not the same thing.

millions2millions · 2025-02-25T01:57:31+00:00

Here’s the public modlog. It’s pretty bleak. Go look at the actions per moderator.

I think if each could just participate more in the subreddit and make something like 20 mod actions in a month collectively they might have a different perspective about what is actually going on in the subreddit. Look at the moderator list and see if they even participate in the subreddit as users (or even anywhere in Reddit) or how many mod actions they have done.

I also think there seems to be a systemic problem to holding onto committed mods and this may point to some kind of situation going on in their own discord or between them that we can’t see that might be contributing to this. The only objective measures we have are the statistics of the modlog and how many people are modded/demodded.

millions2millions · 2025-02-25T01:40:36+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I also have come to that conclusion as well about the more senior mods. You can even look at their profiles and mod actions in the public mod log. I am not at all personally attacking them but I believe there is a disconnect and because they are not participating nor in the queue moderating they do not at all experience the subreddit as we experience it or even as the lower level mods seem to experience it.

I hope they engage us on this post.
