It's shorthand for "I approve" or "according to what I would
endorse" or "what I would suggest" or "what I would be in
favor of" or "what I would vote for, if we were going to vote".

That is a form of argument from authority.

Besides, whether or not you have difficulty reading some
posts is besides the point.

Here are some reasons for my opinion:

I'm sure you are familiar with what an ESS is. (Evolutionarily
Stable Strategy.)  Generally speaking, we should all be in 
favor of ESS's almost exclusively (one notable exception
being that if we are indeed close to a singularity or other
tech breakthrough that changes everything, then endorsing
ESS's is no longer important).

The reason for that is that groups which do not deploy ESSs
become extinct. I cannot in good conscience advocate any
course of action of any group I'm a member of (and which
I like) that is not an ESS.

If western nations had adopted some form of my plan,
or had even all become Mormons, they wouldn't be in
the demographic fix they're in. Their civilization would
have a future.
