Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought.

Default politics of totse.com

jeff hunter is the absolute monarch, the mods are his police, the regulars are like the proletariat, there are some regulars who have a lot of posts and are well liked and have a fanbase, they are the bourgoise middle-classes. the spammers are the criminal classes, the noobs are the peasants, who's lives are cheap(they get banned easily).

this is clearly not a democratic system, if the marxist theory of social evolution is to be believed, this is a fuedal system. maybe in a few years time this virtual society will progress to capitalism (where maybe modship and extra posts can be bought???) fuck knows. then maybe if the proles seize control and jeff hunter is banned!! totse will become a socialist utopia where even the mere noobs will have mod powers (via a system of comittees) and a stake in the site (which will be renamed TCCOSE The Central Committee Of The Screaming Electron), the forums will be unionised and oral indulgences could go on strike if it was getting spammed by other forums.

if someone could forment unrest in the masses, it shouldn't be too dificult the way the mods oppress them. the masses could go on strike and the mods would have to delete each others topics. then whilst the mods fight amongst themselves the proles could pool their l33t hacking resouces and somehow "steal" the site somehow and reorganise it along more egalitarian lines, i dunno i'm rambling time to click that submit button

This Just In...

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

-- The First Amendment
(Part of the U.S. Bill of Rights -- Collect the whole set!)

I feel this is so mis leading but this site is a private endeavor where Jeff H can do what he likes and let the mods do as they please and it just seems like a lot of ass kissing non sense.

But wasn't one of Jeff's mod in the states illegally and was as such a criminal.

A nasty bitch she was also.

Mods are governors, admins are the senate, and Jeff Hunter is the president.

I did it!

that's a good thread, yep totse it's not a democratic system but if you think about that's why it works, most of the people are sheep and they just need a sheperd to guide them on the right path and hit them with a stick when they do wrong, like some of my muslim mates always like to say "Democracy is the mad's man law" and I have to say I quite agree with this stance!

yes but if you educate the masses, they will no longer be sheep, obviously the mods will try to shut down all the threads informing the lumpen proletariat of the revolution, but they can't ban us all, us enlightened bourgoisie should form a comittee, called "the committee for the dissemination of information pertaining to the emancipation of the workers committee" make it really complicated.

Very interesting insights you have there! Want to add that Jeff Hunter himself sees Totse as an authoritarian system.

Here's what Jeff said, "TOTSE is run as a absentee dictatorship. Mostly I ignore what's going on and let things run themselves, and I automate as many things as I can. I have a co-administrator named J.C. Stanton who helps resolve problems when I'm not around or not paying attention. There are also moderators who run the various forums on the Community pages.".

You would be nobody if it weren't for Jeff Hunter, because you wouldn't have any other place to post your angsty radical asinine ideas. He owns this site, you ungratefull undiserving asshole; so he can do what he wants with it.

Don't like it? Then leave.

I always thought of totse as some sort of theocracy.
