Took me a while to even remember who Black Chamber was. They are more invested than the Bire's shit thread and aren't even slightly ironic about it :neogaf

Welp, looks like the Cyberpunk sticky got unstuck and the OT moved to Hangouts.

Turn out the lights, the party's over.

The biggest crime of CDPR wasn't scamming console players, but preventing the full resetti implosion thanks to legit blowback :fbm

His FB is locked down now, but when they first ID’d him it was wiiiide open. I spent 20 minutes creeping his profile.

He had a fucking livestream of himself marching on the capital. Good job buddy!

(Btw I think this news needs a thread. That photo of twist tie guy was chilling)

PROTIP: if you're writing a graded paper called a 'learning log' that is worth 15% of your overall curriculum marks;

DO:
discuss what texts you have been studying, and how they have contributed to your overall understanding of the subject

DO NOT:
complain about your teacher being a mean old grumpasaurus who hurt your fee-fees ;_;

This is directly from my module guidebook.

The assessment
A learning log is a reflective assessment in which you write 250 words about a week’s work (including the webinar). You need to select three separate weeks on the module and write 250 words about each one. Your total word count will be 750 words.
The requirements
This assessment is intended to help you to reflect critically on the module and your understanding of its core themes. It also asks you to comment on your progress and your development of academic and disciplinary skills. Feedback on the module over the course of the semester is also welcome.

:neogaf

Imagine reading that and deciding to write about the perceived slights and transgressions of your professor

I always got the feeling disliked me. He ignored me constantly, didn't respond to emails, often attributed points I made in class to someone else, even when people said 'Oh actually WriterintheDark said that' he just ignored it. So, I gave feedback expressing my feelings about how he'd been to me in class.

Seen at the Capitol coup were a guy with a dishonored tattoo and some dude with a PlayStation 4 collection. Sonic fans Don and Eric were involved as well.
I would say #gamergate were certainly part of this coup.

This is the same dumbass that refers to Jim Sterling as “the backbone of the industry.” Critical thought is clearly not one of his strong suits  :teehee

It does make sense the assignment was morso for the content of the class instead of the treatment by the professor. Though the fact the professor would score them so low without consultation or any reach out, and the fact OP posts this thread not knowing what's going on doesn't look great. The professor would know they clearly did not understand the instructions given, if everything was done in good faith. If it's clear there was a big misunderstanding third party mediation is the way to go. If what your saying is true, the professor failed to communicate or the OP mis-framed this thread.


Except that everyone else in the class understood the assignment and got their easy 15%.

These people are so fucking sheltered and completely unprepared for real life. Fucking hell!

GAF (and other forums) are stricter than Facebook and Twitter combined!

Quote from: Explosive Zombie
GAF is more transparent than Facebook or Twitter about their bans and they listen to our opinions on bans. They also don't ban people simply for holding the wrong political views or for conspiracy theories.

Quote from: EviLore
Fringe views, hateful ideologies, and nuthouse conspiracy theories aren't welcome. Liberals, Conservatives, Libertarians, etc. are welcome. Some temporary concessions had been made due to the POTUS personally leading many Americans on with what would otherwise be fringe lunacy, as it's relevant to broader political discussion, but that's over. It's time to exist in reality.

Some temporary concessions had been made... fucking LOL. NeoGAF was flooded with this shit for the last few months  :lol you're such an insincere douche.

Quote from: Explosive Zombie
Yeah, I love realities that ignore evidence. You can pretend everything's peachy and even try and force us to pretend with you, it doesn't make you right, it makes you the same sort of coward running all these other tech sites.

Take care.

To be honest, knowing what pills Jim Sterling is downing, has 0% to do with the gaming industry.

But this is exactly the way the US behaves, all the time. It's just that most of the time it's directed at other people/nations.

Guys, almost 25 people were killed during the BLM protests across the summer!

Granted, the overwhelming majority of those deaths were protesters AND Trump supporters shot to death by the police but NEVERTHELESS

People aren’t being cute when they use the term “brainwashing” to describe what happens to these people. The amount of absurd delusions swirling around in their heads is literally a poison. Taking down the websites and posters that spread this kind of shit is the only way to truly stop it, though you’re going to be met with pushback from the “my free speech” crowd. At the same time, these people need to be held accountable for blindly subscribing to this nonsense and carrying out literal terrorism over it.

This woman lost her life because she drank the Kool-Aid and was willing to break into the fucking capitol in hopes of inserting her favorite fascist into power through intimidation. She quite literally fucked around and found out.

while I feel like the right would condemn BLM storming the capital in harsher terms they would still be "insurrectionists" etc.

the left would absolutely say "it's fully justified for everything they've had to put up with for so long, they built this country they can take it down too, it was a peaceful protest what is this attempted rhetoric to reframe it as violent, I bet proud boys and cops infiltrated the crowd to rile them up"

because they've already been saying that for all the previous protests

Neither. That's an accurate post from start to finish.

I mean, he is bitching about the term brainwashing like exonerates people (in this case terrorists) and not pointing out how complex is the problem of radicalization to begin with.

I don’t feel bad fort that woman, BTW. Is just gross how the mockery of her is getting 9/11 levels of internet comedy for people that decry “freeze peach”.

Nah, RE would have absolutely cheer for it but the left as a whole would be horrified.

Is kind of disingenuous compare both of them given one has legitimate arguments and the other doesn’t.

BLM people would have been arrested and many likely killed at their own homes weeks before the event based on the online chatter. Anyone that touched a barrier would have been gunned down on the spot.

I doubt it since they're already not being arrested/killed prior to attending protests right now, the ones in minneapolis, seattle etc. were all planned online and not preemptively halted

and in much of the protests the cops were not already there to defend the area, they had to actively take back territory so to speak, they're not that proactive

as posted above most deaths in the blm protests were citizens killing each other, not cops



also in this theoretical storming of the capital the context changes depending on whether this alt-universe trump is whipping them into a frenzy and saying I'll march with you to the capital, or if he's his normal self screaming at the cops to kill them, in which case they probably wouldn't be storming the capital in the first place

I read "aren't being cute" as "are meaning it legitimately". As in these people are truly brainwashed fucks.

Well, is pretty clear they are radicalized. People should be asking why a father of 5 thinks is good idea to fight for a wealthy and senile orange STD spreader but that shouldn’t stop calling him a terrorist asshole that should lose everything.

correct

the question is how people would react to it happening if they did it, not whether it would ever realistically happen

realistically it wouldn't, because it hinges on trump holding a blm rally in dc and telling everyone to march on the capital

BLM people would have been arrested and many likely killed at their own homes weeks before the event based on the online chatter. Anyone that touched a barrier would have been gunned down on the spot.

I doubt it since they're already not being arrested/killed prior to attending protests right now, the ones in minneapolis, seattle etc. were all planned online and not preemptively halted

But the thing is that:

neither have legitimate arguments to storm the capital, real or hypothetical 

One actually stormed the Capitol  and the other didn’t. Trump crosses a line while the others did not for whatever reason.

I don't mean to equate the movements in legitemacy or imply that they're on the same level of extremism.

It's just an hypothetical about whether RE would realize that this is a step too far. But maybe it's dumb to wonder about hypotheticals anyway

A forum that regularly drops guillotine rhetoric is not going to be crying crocodile tears about 'insurrection' if the their team had stormed a republican senate, and if a cop had died trying to stop it would have just had pages of ACAB, 'good' and ctrl+v mlkmoderates.gif and 'bootlicker' posts about any democrats that condemned it

Of course not, at least for a huge section of the off topic community, we are talking about the same people that were excusing someone shooting cops before GAF collapsed. If anything, some of the most extremist elements are all for storming the Capitol if there were no Trumptards the first to do it.

The hypothetical is an interesting question.

The rally on the 6th was considered to be more of a political rally in support of the President and tensions up until that point were less high.
Plus with everyone on their way out the door and Barr just being replaced there was probably less planning on a federal level.
The President himself and his chief of staff involved with planning the coup likely had a negative impact on law enforcement being prepared.

The BLM protests were more wide spread and had gone on for a few days before they marched on the White House.
And their protest at the White House forced Trump to hide in his bunker and they placed a fence around it the day after.
I don't recall that outside of the famous teargas scene there was any specific (pre-emptive) violence from law enforcement against the protests specifically in D.C. but there was in other places.

The siege on the Capitol is just a situation you seldom see in any coup, riot or protest. A targetted action against one single building in a very short timespan.
Protests like Maidan were centered around a place, but also the city and nation wide.

I can't recall any riot or coup in history when only a single building was deliberately targetted, except for the Moscow 1993 coup which unlike this coup lasted a few days but was centered around a single building as well.

Either this happened in the spur of the moment and they weren't meant to actually breach the capitol (only threaten/protest) and Trump and Rudy improvised to make the most out of the situation given the opportunity.
Or there were more actions planned to support what happened at the Capitol that somehow didn't happen (like the failed coup in Turkey).

I for one would have cheered any invasion of the capital if the goal was to make Bernie our Supreme Leader

Quote from: MrRob
It's people whose lives started to suck. They don't want to take Personal Responsibility ™ for their lives being shitty. They go online and find a community in other people who are looking for an escape or explanation for why their lives suck. They latch onto some conspiracy to help rationalize why they can't find any success or satisfaction in their small lives and spread it around their community. Everyone feels a little better because they finally have someone or something else to blame. It's not their fault they don't make enough money it's because someone outside the community is oppressing them. From there the rabbit hole is opened.

It's just like any other cult.


None of these people have ever been oppressed. Their rights aren't being taken away. They are part of the most privileged group on the planet the white majority. 

lol is kind of sad we are still pretending that whites never discriminate other whites...

I guess the people out there living paycheck to paycheck (and in America there are far too many, unfortunately) are privileged. Dare MrRob to say that shit to someone who is poor. 

And I get what the privileged in this instance means but I'm so fucking sick of these losers acting like poor people are privileged. Trump morons are just fucking pathetic pieces of shit, yes, agreed my concerns aren't for them, but I feel for the ones out there busting their asses the best they can and still barely being able to scrape by.

His little rant about finding communities online and calling them cults is Era. These assholes aren't at all capable of looking in the mirror when they make those sorts of comments.

Hi everyone. We've had a relaxed moderation style for a while now on Politics, but in light of recent events at the Capitol, we'll no longer be tolerating fringe content or conspiracy theories on the Politics forum. It could previously be looked at as fun and games, but now there's no way to justify its presence here in any quantity. Keep it to mainstream sources and positions. That also goes for "sacred landslide" stolen election conspiracies.

Thanks.
