He "both sides-ed" the Crusades!

Edit: just for context, this fedora sperg has been a member since 2003, and has almost 52,000 comments to his name. But he "both sides-ed" the Crusades!

Nevermind the age of the account, some napkin math shows that he makes an average of eight posts a day.

Re: dealing with violence without violence.
Someone described to me how Saudi Arabia's criminal system works for Sauds: they bring his family to the cell and officer explains how father is ashamed of him, how mother is ashamed, how siblings don't want to share his name anymore etc. and it fucking works. Perp gets out after a few days and usually doesn't cause problems anymore.
Of course Sauds are filthy rich, non-Sauds are subject to ultraviolence and it's a very shame-based culture, so it can't be really extrapolated to more egalitarian societies and especially modern where pride is celebrated.

father is ashamed of him

Yeah I think I spotted the issue with applying it to the USA.

Less flippantly, I think a big part of non-violently eliminating crime would be removing the profit motive. Whether it's a public transportation-American lifting a new pair of Jordans or a VC shithead scamming investors for hundreds of millions, crime should not pay. Crime should be a time and money sink.

What's the alternative to that like world of RPGs yeah I'm permanently banned from there for defending Gary gygax apparently not being inclusive is the exact same thing as being political I hate how these ******* parasites have invested every aspect of my hobby they all need to die in a hole or shoot themselves

 

[demicolon]

rpgcodex, they deal with crpgs but there's probably a tabletop subforum there.

 

[Steinercard]

I never gave Legends a try after they killed off the original TSW. Maybe I'll give it a try some day.

Don't. They absolutely butchered the game with Legends. Plus you can still officially play The Secret World.

There’s the RPG pub. Strict no politics rule and light-handed moderation.

I think I heard about that, people still running servers for the original game.

It's been a while but I think Funcom are keeping the old game's servers ongoing. People running servers for the original game is more of a City of Heroes thing.

User gets permabanned for opposing a batshit insane policy proposal that's completely unpalatable outside the lunatic fringe of the lunatic fringe. Serves him right, he posted on RPGNet!

What is this policy?

What is this policy?

Slavery Reparations. He said that he had no problem with them as long as they were taken from the inherited wealth of the people who'd actually made fortunes in the slave trade, rather than the general populace. This is considered bannable racism on RPG.net.

Anything other than complete agreement with... whatever twitter decided this past week is bannable racism on RPG.net.

He said that he had no problem with them as long as they were taken from the inherited wealth of the people who'd actually made fortunes in the slave trade, rather than the general populace.

He also specifically said the people in those countries enslaving their fellows also had to pay reparations. Which is a turbo mega ultra racism because before Britain came near Africa slavery never existed.

Double posting for salt.

Spoilsport mods nixed an election night watch thread so we were robbed of a real time meltdown event.

Spoiler: General chat thread salt

Political images thread got locked because it has never been more over.

 

[robobobo]

Yeah, I went over last night in the hopes of a salt mine, and the site was suspiciously quiet. I figured the mods had to be stepping on any attempts to talk about it.

 

[Loose Goose]

It's honestly better to prevent a doom spiral from forming among unstable people. This was a rare good decision by the mods.

Looking at the rich flow of comedy coming from ResetERA, I have to differ with you on this.
