This thread is kind of going of the rails. Please make a new thread if there's any important developments to discuss. Going forward, regarding threads about politics / Trump, we're going to expect two things: 1) No assassination musing. This is going to catch you a very long ban. 2) No unsubstantial shitposting. If something like: "Fuck Trump and fuck his supporters" is all you have to offer, there's not really any need for you to post. We're eager to read your substantial criticism and and we welcome any discussion about newsworthy statements and actions of his. We don't really expect anyone to have warm feelings towards Trump, but we have to do something about the quality of discussion in our many Trump threads around here. We're not interested in being an emotional trash can for you guys. Stay focused. Contribute with substance.

The Russians have infiltrated mod accounts on GAF. Where is Bish to clean up the Soviet trash?

this shit will be applied for a week, tops, before going back to the normal "kill trump" "fuck trump" megathreads
otherwise it is just virtue signalling (about TRUMP?!?!?)

Trying to find humor in a story like this however is not particularly warranted. I feel like a bunch of kids were violated without consent. A crime has occured. The fact that the perpetrator found a maybe funny way to do it is not worth giggling about.

What, as opposed to being violated with consent? :thinking

Do you realize that you should apprise yourself of a topic that you wish to discuss?

Someone literally is representing themselves as a nazi.

We've reached a point where moderate's inaction is leading to a reprisal of hate groups, and minorities and allies are forced into a position where they have to defend the most vulnerable.

After Charlottesville, I don't want to hear tut tutting of isolated incidents and how it makes minorities look when Kaepernick takes a knee and is blacklisted for it.

What is your solution to combating the rise of white nationalists?

So, fuck DMCA when they're taking down 15 hours of Trump on Stern, but outright hope DMCA goes even farther in the PDP threads to the point of taking rights away of random people just in case another streamer ever says a slur on stream.   :mindblown

I'd say the mindblowing part to me is not so much the double-standard -which really is a pretty common and evenly distributed trait among all of us- but the absolute unflinching certainty that you can have all of the "good" censorship with no spilling over to the "bad" one provided you have the correct steward to attend to it.

If you see a Nazi demonstration with a crowd, yes, your open avenue is a peaceful counter-protest. You can't start riots in the street, you can't start turf wars, you can't turn it into a free for all brawler. That's how people fucking die.

If you see a single Nazi stomping around and being a shithead, you shut him up and put him down with a solid right hook.

That's because you don't understand how this kind of thing will work in the real world. Instead you're so focused on defending Nazi's that you make yourself look completely ignorant of how the levers of power work in a democratic society.

By censoring ideas that are bad there can't be any "bad" censorship because the ideas that lead to it will never exist. Their censorship prevents them from being spread. It's so very tiring that you Nazi sympathizers dance around this inconvenient fact and make up all kinds of excuses rather than understand that making something illegal prevents it. Or at the very least gets those vile and cowardly minorities talking about doing it removed from society.

Look at Germany, the perfect example. There, the entire Nazi leadership was thrown in jail for trying to seize power in Munich. And they and their ideas were never heard from again until they were released and allowed back into society. Now, someone ignorant like yourself may see that as a failure of censorship, especially the resulting popularity that they gained from flagging their victim status and using the period to write books and study the legal processes of the nation, but in fact it was a failure to continue violently censoring the bad that were the Nazi's, the Communists and their ideas. Instead, had they been imprisoned permanently, or better off silenced permanently, then no one would ever have to deal with their evil ideas yet again. Instead the fetish of free speech has allowed their ideas to seize power globally to the point that even NeoGAF.com moderators are being exposed almost weekly as Nazi sympathizers or even worse, Gamergators.

I also can't help but notice you have never once condemned the fact that Trump seized power the same exact way that Hitler did, through being legally elected to office. Yet you have all the time to attack the fully democratic design and production process of Star Citizen.

And all this despite the fact that besada is regularly informing Trump and his followers of how terrible he is on twitter.

Did you mock up that yourself?
These are two I occasionally futz around with one for my most likely answers (including dismissing the issue for not being within the purview of the state) and then one for the least like me answer:
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=auberonia
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=platonipa

Then these I was trying to make more Moderate Darling™ versions of those (with ludwignia not allowing dismissal of an issue) after the former went so extreme and never seemed to budge:
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=ludwignia
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=hobbesnesia

But I only really remember them when I get the message from whichever one is tied to my e-mail about how they're about to go dead due to inactivity.

I just like how the NeoGAF one since I first came across the page has always had an appropriate set of causes of death for its members. Once it was like 45% Disappearance, 40% Old Age, 5% Banned Attack.

edit: There's no timeline on the graph so I don't know how long it's been but I also like how its civil rights and political freedoms lines crashed while its economy one soared and hasn't come back down.

Well, discounting all the ones we imported to help with our various science programs, especially say...I dunno, rocketry?

And all the ones we "rehabilitated" to help stand up one half of Germany/Yurop, among other nations with similar situations like a certain glorious island, for better positions of strategery in the Cold War. (A number that would have been far larger in both instances had not a certain drug addicted paranoid regularly purged his leadership ranks.)

This also discounts what half of the "we" who solved the problem went about doing in the years after (and had done prior) that was arguably worse and certainly larger scale. Not that the other half of that "we" did much to help.

It is very interesting though that some NeoGAF.com users are now celebrating the great killing of Nazi's in the 1940's when the people who did the bulk of that work are the very same untrustworthy foreigners who stole the election for Trump by...something...Facebook?

It's almost as if they're trying to secretly shift the Overton Window to leave the long-term Russian-planned Gamergate operation on the right side of history by aligning it with the Russians' mass killing of Nazi's, Nazi sympathizers and those living in areas occupied at one point by Nazi's and/or adjacent to those areas.

How soon we forget Russia's brave and selfless support of local militia with no ties to the Russian military against the armies of NATO-supported Ukrainian fascists in the Crimea which they were honor bound to fight based on a document signed by the Soviet Union.

If black and brown Americans and Jews and homosexuals do not assert and defend themselves, they will be exterminated by white supremacists. The rest of White America will not come to their senses and demand an end to the aggression, they will not come to their defense, they will not jump in front of the bullet. They will let them die because their instinct for self preservation will override your ridiculous notions of model humanity that transcends race and gender and orientation.
Posted in 2017 America. A country that recently had a black President, Attorney General, two Secretary of States; also had probably a homosexual Attorney General, Homeland Security Secretary, two Secretary of States, etc. A country that had gay marriage IMPOSED ON IT BY THE COURTS and reacted by...doing basically nothing it wasn't already doing. A country that has had Will and Grace reimposed on it by corporate media.

Not in 1967 America when George Lincoln Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party, had been assassinated just three years after receiving a whopping 5,730 votes for Virginia Governor. And two years after appearing on the CBC saying he didn't necessarily wish to exterminate blacks and Jews but help them export themselves or create a divided off homeland here like black nationalist Elijah Muhammed proposed. That such violence was unnecessary and why he didn't believe the Holocaust had happened. And seven years after the ACLU defended his right to give a speech and he was beaten by Jewish war veterans and Holocaust survivors for saying 90% of Jews were traitors outside the courtroom. And twenty years after he adopted smoking a corncob pipe.

But 2017 America. On a nexus of hardcore gamers, enthusiast press, and video game industry developers and publishers. That was the fifth largest referrer to Hillary Clinton's website, the popular vote "winner" and one of the aforementioned Secretary of States.

"Being a tattletale" for reporting Nazism, what the fuck is this shit? Do you think Nazism is like copying in an exam? And trying to paint yourself like the bigger man for refusing to do anything against Nazism? Get the fuck out with that bullshit.

Oh good, he's making up for lost time:
Quote from: Liu Kang Baking A Pie
I don't know if cyclonekruse remembers a time before 2017, but we used to never see Nazi imagery or promotion unless there was a skinhead on the bus with shitty tattoos. There's a reason for this, and it isn't because we respected Nazi's rights despite their ideology literally calling for ethnic genocide.
It's like he forgets all the way back in 2016 when the modern swastika known as Pepe was denounced by a Presidential candidate. :fbm

But has he fallen too far behind the new NeoGAF.com paranoid puritan standard?
Quote
As far as Nazis are concerned, they're a murderous terrorist organization, and a continuation of... well... Nazis. You know, those guys that murdered millions in horrific fashion? When our government refuses to do anything about them, and they've infiltrated our government at multiple levels, some people are naturally going to turn to vigilantism.
A theory that a moderator endorses:
Quote from: GhaleonEB
They're running the US government.

And can he even begin to regain his status with new forum vigilantes like this?
Quote from: Poor GRIMES
Conceptually, eradicating platforms where the alt-right can congregate sounds plausible, I agree. If anything, I think this is the better option in a perfect world. But, we don't live in one, and I don't like to align myself and give all my faith towards corporations that care more for their net profitability over actual moral obligations that they should have for the public at large.

You're operating on the pretense that people should be victimized prior to indictment. But, with how our judicial system works, it's primary goal is to prevent crime rather than react towards a crime that has already been committed. Also, you're, again, assuming that Nazis have "levels" of hate that they operate in. All Nazis have one sole goal: to eradicate those that they deem unfit for their world. Their levels of participation is moot; if you align yourself with that particular belief, then you're complicit whether you like it or not.

Will this Nazi Sympathizing Furry be taken to task for his historical ignorance or instead be ignored?
This is where I'm confused.

We didn't win World War 2 with peaceful conversation, yeah. But we also didn't win World War 2 with punches, or even with militias willing to clash with Brownshirts in the streets (There were plenty mid-century equivalents of Antifa trying to punch their way out of fascism in Spain, Germany, Italy, and everywhere else that went fascist). We won World War 2 with bombs and guns.

But Antifa isn't doing that - to the best of my knowledge, they've never killed anyone, and I have no reason to expect they would. People generally don't come out and say what level of violence they're willing to inflict, but the standard picture to post in such circumstances is Captain America decking Hitler, not Nazis freezing on the Russian steppes. There's plenty of public fantasizing about decking a Nazi, but not putting a bullet in their brain, generally. And again, even the furthest left organizations don't seem to want to start bringing weapons to protests or attempt to assassinate prominent American Nazi leaders.

So I'm just really confused. Antifa rhetoric would justify everything up to and including civil war, but not even the most extreme actors are actually pushing us in that direction, and if I even ask the question as to whether they want to inflict the violence their rhetoric suggests Antifa and their allies are offended, genuinely as far as I can tell.

So I suppose I'll ask: does anyone in this thread think that lethal violence is justified in the current circumstances? If it isn't, what distinguishes a situation where punching is okay and one where shooting is okay?

There are also numerous gaffers that think anything relating to a president should be free in the name of public interest and think its "gross" that people would dare charge for books or get paid for any work put out on a president, and it goes retroactively so books about Trump BEFORE he was president should also be free.
Whew, Hillary certainly dodged a bullet then. Thank goodness, now she can put food on the table for her growing family instead of mooching off the taxpayer like that nasty Trump.

The nerve of that man playing golf instead of... doing photo ops? Messing with disaster areas? Posting on Twitter? Issuing goofy statements? Signing executive orders? I know I'm supposed to be angry about something he's not doing here.

Not that I in any way condone a literal Nazi like Trump employing genocidal scale violence against minorities but somebody has to do something that kills a lot of people and right now he has to be that somebody and then somebody should do something in response because Nazi's should not be allowed to get away with acts of violence by saying "buh mah freeze peach" as Nazi's are not people nor are anyone who supports people who are or may be literal Nazi's, they are subhuman garbage who don't have any kind of rights and should be at the minimum forced into certain areas to live and have privileges taken from them.

Oh, and they definitely should not be able to charge for any photos of any of this, as that's even more of a crime.

One of the good ones, obviously. Except did you know all white people voted for Trump? Food for thought.
