BH, I would like to genuinely thank you again for this. Reminding me not to talk about the subject that literally ruins everything and garners hate and intolerance on a level that makes people literally incapable of understanding the same language.
Every time I find an extremist on either side, they reveal themselves with that. "What the cuss are you even saying?" "Do you hear yourself?" Always.
Maybe centrism is just another extreme group for all I know, and I am further a hypocrite.
The discord servers are pure new world leftist. They do a decent job keeping it in but, they are extreme enough for it to be noticeably present everywhere.
The right can't believe I have transgender, homosexual, and activist (read: BLM protester) friends.
The left can't believe I have Nazi and pro North Korean friends (who are opposites by the way lol, but the same people hold those two beliefs)
For the idiots in there who still think I am a nazi, perhaps by comparison to you unwitting "Za Putina" sympathizers. Here you go, some tear jerker material for you.
It's about when my country airlifted a shit ton of aid to your neighbors, by the way.
But hey, apparently a tear jerker too.
Thing is, at face value, this is literally the best possible message, is it not? Honestly, no irony, no sarcasm.
But what actually happened? What is North Korea? Why does that regime exist?
Only open spoiler if you want it's name from the perspective of people who lived in East Germany like my childhood neighbor and first employer. + Show Spoiler +
Because extremism breeds extremism. My neighbor is an avowed anti-nazi to this day. She grew up in her early childhood under evil, nazi indoctrinated parents and had to become voluntary orphans with her younger siblings to get away from it. But she is an avowed anti communist too.
Extremism Is Bad. Y'all are so extreme, that you think I am a Nazi for telling you to chill while backing it up by pointing out I also tell Nazis to chill. The nazis you all create by the way, by making policies that don't allow certain skill sets to survive and by pushing for policies of retribution for crimes committed by the dead upon the living. That shitass meme about some dude talking to a woman who isn't extreme pushing him there catastrophically misrepresents the point, y'all, and since my wife and daughter stubbornly cling to a very aristocratic, left wing area, I genuinely fear the violent uprising that I see brewing every time I go to work and meet my old/former friends and their new groups in the rural areas. So yes, time to back off a bit and chill.
This is for the benefit of the people on that server who are still here and might continue to judge me here for it.
Man, I'm not a huge fan of like, long descriptions of your disagreements with political extremists, or various friends you have that cause political strife for you. I think it is possible you just do not understand what I'm trying to say: I don't want to see that shit. I don't want to see you complaining loudly about various groups. I legitimately see you whining about how you are treated by "the right" and "the left" in this thread. That is exactly that kind of shit I like to avoid.

I dont have any Nazi or North Korean Friends. I haven't even knowingly seen one.
I think you can safely apply radicals to all descriptions of them. It's like they are trapped in that mindset, but it's not like it matters as everyone gets pressed into an existing shape when going into politics. And if they aren't it, it's just pretending that they are effective about whatever they peddle.
If the community is small enough, it doesn't matter what the parts of it think. They'd never become so numerous that they'd try to impose their definition of truth upon others as they depend on each other anyway. It's how my place works.

Telling on what? Knowledge on who's managing the place ? Not so ironic now
It was Rels all along, the French fugitive I talked about in that syndicate game
I have played exactly one game on MTG in my life. I think this might get too complex, and i am not sure if this sub-forum is active enough anymore, but sure give it a try!

I'm out of here.
Why can't you do what other people do, ignore the shit you don't like and not make it "relevant"? If Slam wants to talk about that who cares? Just like if anyone wants to talk about anything.
