Oh jeez, now don't protest because it's a school night? It's amazing any progress has been made in this country. They shouldn't have dumped the tea in the harbor because it was really good tea and it would be a shame to waste it

I'm drawn in by their historical metaphors because of how often they run perpendicular to what they're trying to express. The Boston Tea Party wasn't the only protest against the Tea Act. Usually the ships from Britain were simply not allowed to land because nobody would pay the duty so they went home. In Boston, the Governor demanded the law be followed so the ship couldn't leave without being unloaded and paying the duty. They wouldn't pay the duty for obvious reasons, so the Governor wouldn't let the ship leave. So for some reason that's still unclear a bunch of people decided to dump the tea in the bay.

The thing is. The Governor was trying to get a reaction of just this sort so that Britain would send forces to take a hard line with the colonists and crack down on them for defying the Tea Act and their other protests against the crown. It worked, Parliament voted to punish the city of Boston collectively at the cost of $2 million for the destroyed tea. Even the generally pro-colonist members were outraged at this destruction of property and voted near unanimously for the punishment. Parliament even turned down numerous rich people willing to pay for the tea because their ultimate goal was enforcing the law on the colonies. The colonists obviously viewed all of this as insane and part of a pattern and thus things continued to escalate.

It's exactly an example of what the person was trying to suggest to him, that emotional and irrational protest will make things worse and accomplish nothing, and yet he's holding it up to defend his position.

It's funny that the only reason this Anti-Fa group chose Tucker is because he lives in D.C.  No other real reason when they could target Hannity or some person that actually matters.

So of course Era has to play along like they always hated Tucker and always considered him a nazi.

But that's exactly it -- they want the escalation.  There's nothing constructive that can come from going to a man's home and bothering his family.  They actually believe they can identify Tucker's ilk as the nazis they are, but they're frustrated nobody is seeing them as anything but typical conservative media.   They want things to come to a head.

I've always taken it for a form of wishing they were important or mattered*. Right side of history, etc. talk. Obsession with trivial things as "GAME CHANGERS" constantly. All while believing in an ideology that history is controlled by powerful inhuman forces with a deliberate plan and path. If only the nefarious forces of evil would stop trying to undermine it by vilifying journalism.

It's quite an odd way to go about things, but then who am I to talk I suppose? If it makes you happy. And documenting their strange ways do make me happy I suppose. So maybe I'm not allowing them to quit? But that's wishing I was important or mattered, natch.

*In terms of beyond the things they can control or theoretically can control like their own lives, their own relationships, etc. all of which they discard or erupt over at the drop of a hat while endlessly fighting for the survival of humanity/the planet/history itself on internet forums and twitter and facebook against the hordes of gamers overclocking their video cards.

Will Cerium still think it's a "false positive" on Twitter's part to ban ResetERA links and label them as dangerous 

[Boredfrom]

Given their reactions in the midterms thread I suspect the advocacy for escalation In protests has less to do with genuine desire of changing things and more some sort of twisted form of throwing a fit.

[benjipwns]

The right is going to keep escalating and becoming more and more nazi-like so the only response to that is force. We didn't win WW2 with words we gathered up a group and beat the fucking shit out of nazis.

We gathered up a group, without using any words mind you, including our good friends that were military allies with the Nazi's in dividing Poland and other parts of Yurop, and then killed millions of non-Nazi's all over the world sometimes just out of spite or on Stalin's request. Now we must ring their doorbell in the middle of the night or we will have not learned the lessons of World War II.

Which were to kill a whole bunch of non-Nazi's, protect a whole bunch of Nazi's, draw a line down the middle of Yurop and keep totally ixnay on the ovietsay imescray.

Since the writers for Trump hang out here, I wanted to mention something I think you guys should include. I heard Trump earlier speaking about increasing his environmental agenda post-midterms. I think you should start working in some Thanos references and quotations, Trump can even talk about how he heard some ideas from the terrific actor, Josh Brolin, who deserved an Oscar nomination btw for "Avengers Wars" and how great he was in that. And also how he saw the parallels to how much Thanos accomplished in that movie all by himself after years of nothing to what Trump has accomplished after years of other lackluster administrations. I feel we really need to maximize this angle, maybe have Trump promote some of the successful things that Wakanda is accomplishing compared to the failing Canada.

They know. It's due to resetera being a new domain and it suddenly being linked a lot = system thinks it's spam.

[benjipwns]

As a further aside, if the site can last a few months more, we'll now have the upcoming ResetERA.com Civil War plotline to look forward to. It'll be ideal with just a bunch of "progressive" white males arguing over the Democratic candidates and moderates/centrism and what minorities would REALLY prefer; especially since they will finally have driven out all of the millions of minority posters by that point due to the lack of moderation and large segment of posters who identify as "gamers" despite that being a centuries old GamerGate dog whistle that minorities like women are particularly sensitive to.

Have you stopped for even five seconds to consider that it's because what you're talking about is different from what we're talking about? Maybe it's not the literally dozens of women in this thread who are wrong, but the way you're looking at things.

There are absolutely times when I've flirted with random strangers. But it wasn't from a cold approach. It was from someone who was good at reading body language and probably opened up with something other than professing how pretty they think I am.

The strongest argument against this position might be the existence of belief zombies, i.e., people who believe the wrong things but act and speak in ways indistinguishable from those who don't. For example, suppose you are a white liberal who believes racist things but regulates your behavior in such a way that the belief is mitigated: you implement hiring procedures that mitigate implicit and explicit racial bias at your company, vote for policies that benefit minorities or rectify historical injustices, and so forth, because you know your beliefs are wrong. In that case, I suppose, the question is whether we should tolerate Nazi belief zombies?

The people who are uncomfortable with the escalation from the left due to people on the right are why Hitler got to power. You people need some perspective.

You'd have thought big gains in their midterms would have led some of them to think "Hey, maybe half my country aren't literal nazis after all", or getting blocked by twitter as a hate site might have inspired some "Hey, maybe when I say anyone who disagrees with me is a literal nazi and I hope they fucking die is an over reaction" self reflection and maybe chilling the fuck out some.

but nope.

And that "cold approach" thread has literally gone exactly how I thought it would, where a few women who post in recessera declare themselves gender representatives and to speak for all women.
Except in this case they did so by having to redefine 'cold approach' into fucking IT RUBS THE LOTION ON ITS SKIN level behaviour, because even those anti-social fucks can't honestly claim a friendly smile from a stranger as a bad thing intended to repress or hurt you.

Knowing Twitter I doubt they're ever going to actually say whatever algorithm involved went NOPE, but I find it difficult to believe recessera has worse ads than peak neogaf did, or gets linked on twitter more often than when neogaf had actual insiders who would break actual news.

I mean, I assume about the ads, because its 2018 and I'm not visiting websites without an ad blocker

Should politics not be a centrifuge when there are fucking child concentration camps?

Oh yeah, you absolutely fancy yourself a real rational person. That's why you've defended Kanye, Roseanne, and Joe Rogan all within just about the past month. That's your idea of rational, I guess, is giving credence to some people doing pretty terrible shit. People like you think you're being a rational voice by promoting some centrist bullshit, or standing on the sidelines tut-tutting liberals (which you love to do, can always count on you when there's a charged liberal conversation to come in and support the other side) but really you're only hurting, you're not helping anyone but yourself.

Kanye, Roseanne and Joe Rogan. The Göring, Goebbels and Himmler of our time.

I think every RedMercury post has some reference to children concentration camps. I guess just like the word nazi, concentraton camp has lost all meaning  That's not what this word means

i've never heard of twitter blocking sites because of the content, but that doesn't mean much i guess, since i never visit twitter without a link to a specific tweet. I assume stormfront and their ilk is already banned then?
What about subreddits like thedonald? Or is reddit "too big to block"?

We evolved from primates who were evolutionarily rewarded for their desire and willingness to hunt four-legged animals. Like the desire to kill a wolf. And even kill it's baby cubs so that they won't grow up to become threats. Thus mankind began it's history as earth's ultimate species. You're welcome.

[benjipwns]

They aren't journalists, trash like MAGA Haberman and the NYSlimes and Jim Acosta and CNN are just stenographers for the genocidal regime. I've been sending DMs almost daily to Austin Walker and Patrick Klepek to start reporting on some of this but they never seem to reply. It's appalling how fast GamerGate was able to nearly wipe out the practice of journalism. I just don't know who else to contact who can actually get digging and reporting back on this, I'm shocked at how easily a totalitarian regime has covered up all kinds of ethnic cleansing and mass murder programs with the so-called media willfully playing along and refusing to mention it.

Sometimes it's so discouraging what litteral Nazi's can get away with and no one in the world cares, while the democratically centralist International Left even suggests mentioning how power hungry and anti-democratic Nazi's are they're immediately attacked by the social fascists and undermined by low post count reactionary forces from within.

It's so odd how just a couple years ago I was the weird one on NeoGAF.com for* opposing the inherent evils of the state apparatus, promoting republican virtues and principles for their moderating effect on potential tyrants, trashing the pro-state/pro-state-violence propaganda and otherwise expressing concepts like "Tolerance in the face of tyranny is no virtue. Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."

It'll be good to have all these new allies to fight back against the state in the future. Especially when a shifting of labels and personnel fools others, less engaged thinkers and students of politik and history, into thinking the public face is the true face of the illegitimate state.

*Well, one of the reasons I was the weird one.
