There have been plenty of leftist crybabies show up to replace him, and even the American ones are anti-American.
It does seem to work - Fido has their political echo, and the people who want to make a stink mostly stick there.
I *strongly* suspect the reason that they never do is because they like
to run and hide behind the FSX "but politics isn't allowed" rule once they've started an obviously political-adjacent conversation that
doesn't go their way, and speech is too free in those forums for their tastes.

Be prepared for the "HELP IM BEING CENSORED!!!!!" crowd when asked to
post elsewhere.
I'd like to be in a forum where people can wish each other a Happy Pride month, and it not receive a rant.

You do you, but I want the forum with the well wishes, not the
political rants.
If that makes me naive / sheltered / whatever pejorative you want
to use, fine, but those political areas _suck_, and I don't go
there because they _suck_. And I get a bit fired up about it here, because, when this place is filled with well wishes, personal
stories, and hobby talk, it's delightful.
And that's the forum I want to participate in.

I think most agree with you here, for sure.
I certainly do. What I didn't agree with was when people started throwing around "privilege" and other buzzwords... you know, political concepts.

White privilege isn't a buzzword, nor a political concept.
The political part didn't start with someone wishing someone else a
Happy Pride Month. The "political-adjacent" part got kicked off good
and well after that.

Regardless of accuracy of that statement, I don't see any compelling reasons for why white privilege discussions belong here.
Certainly, it's an academic concept to explain certain things that
happen in the world. But people talking about their personal lives can probably avoid using by talking about actual things.
E.g., instead of talking about "male privilege", I could talk about
having a guy groping my leg in public transport, or getting stared at, asked rude questions, or commented upon.
...not that I want to talk about _that_, either.

It's like you're not even aware of what you're writing, somehow.
Are you related to NuSkooler, by any chance?

My evidence is that it has been suggested multiple times in the past but they never ever wind up moving the trouble they started elsewhere. They *always* start it *here*.
