I’m surprised how many black people buy into this sovereign citizen shit. I figured it would be like 95% white insane libertarian types.
dude no lol it's seriously gotta be 50/50, and it's been this way since the 1990's or so at least, there were some periods of really weird cross pollination between the nutty fromge groups...that's how the militia-lite preppers got into the libertarian movement

though the people who deliberately film themselves so they can lecture cops about the law are basically all cac dopes (though these are usually not sovereign citizens)

How long have you been an SC?

My favorite thing about most of the videos I watched is the faces of the cops when they realize they’ve got one of these people. They seem to relish it.

To those boycotting Kingdom Come Deliverance over Vávra's views... mission accomplished. It's only sold half a mil on PC in a few days.

I am amazed at this form and it's predecessor and how any type of right leaning politics is automatically deemed "racist, anti-feminist, fascist" etc . Many on here even demonize Colin Moriarity and he is by no means a conservative on anything other than fiscal matters. He is as left leaning as they come.

You can't claim to be a diverse forum and them demonize anyone with even remotely right leaning views. Oh, but then some will say "Varvra is an extremist with racist views!" and then try and blanket anyone on this forum who believes conservatively. It's honestly getting quite predicable and outrageous. You aren't open thinking when someone disagrees with your particular political or social views and then gang up on a poster or developer in this case with a mob mentality. I am well aware the mods are here on left leaning so when you put in the first post "we all know he's a racist" is not objective in my opinion. He made a decision to not put people of color in the game to be historical accurate as he saw fit.

A mod PM'ed me a few months ago and said "we have no problem with republicans and conservatives" but the mods let all other members on here attack them at will for their political beliefs. But, in this case, if a developer wears a MAGA shirt he is automatically a nazi and racist. To assume all gamers are left leaning and democrats is pretty laughable.

Exactly, the alt-left is a malignancy. Especially the young, naive, politically clueless babies that actually cried like girls at a Beatles concert when sanders DID NOT get the nom in '16. He said "free college" and they lost ALL common sense they may have had. They will never admit that they FUCKED UP BIG-TIME. This is the generation that thinks you can be a man one day, then say you are a woman the next day, then say you are a robot the next day. These are the spoiled kids that shouted down their parents in the 90s. I saw these kids growing up. They were 5-10 years younger than me. Where are all those alt-left Sanders supporters today? Do they recognize their complicity? Are they questioning their views on Clinton? Or were they always in St. Petersburg?

i still have a problem with the notion that there's some kind of "alt" aspect, much like how everything was getting labeled "neoconservative" and "neoliberal" (although those at least started out with a sensible definition, they were never used for that for long)

social justice has always been a component of "the left", extremists/radicals/"warriors" are not and have never been new... opposing identity politics or whatever is the binding force of the "alt-right" has been an extensive component of the standard American right forever

if anything it really just seems to mean more the "extremely non-professional" or "amateur trained" in that most of these people are making names for themselves through non-traditional establishment forms like youtube and facebook and so on, and blogs before them, reducing the institutional role of the media gatekeepers to decide an "acceptable" set of positions as their place in the overall media landscape decreases further and further

The alt aspect exists in the attitude. This formation of the right is influenced by leftist ideas. They are often as opposed to foreign intervention as a Chomskite. They are not opposed to identity politics, but are white identity politics. The white pride parts of the alt-right are very collectivist.


The media aspect is because they came to the party later than the left side did. They adopt and try to make-their-own internet media, but its the side that opposes both that really ends up dominating that medium.  The alt-right has a lot of thanks due to traditional mainstream media who use them as a bigger-than-Godzilla monster. That's the true crux of the joke, "White supremacist finds it hard to keep meeting mainstream media interviews" joke. It's not that we're white supremacist loving, but we're in love with hating nazis.  That seems like a good thing until you realize the supply/demand contradictions lead to blowing up Richard Spencer instead of suffocating him.

edit: ps:: The "attitude" is that they don't care.  The anger of the people that go this way towards the traditional right-wing powers seems to stem from the Republican's losing the culture war. They cowered towards racism accusations. The alt-right cares so little for this approach, that they'll go full racism and not give a fuck. It's an ugly form of counter-culture.

Isolationism/non-interventionism and this...lets call it distrust of "foreign" influences on American purity was part of the traditional American "right" though.

Reaganite and Republican alliance with the actual neoconservatives was Cold War specific, these divergences re-emerged before 9/11 CHANGED EVERYTHING. (Although the dominant forces were never of the traditional "conservative" foreign policy spheres to begin with.)

The anti-PC/social studies whatever/feminazi/etc. attitude is how Rush Limbaugh got famous.

Rush isn't what we have now. I grew up in a period where Rush was the local political squawk box. Now and then are not the same.

He's very different from the current string of anti-sjw. The new string comes from the sciences. Basically, certain idealistic views have fallen off due to a better understanding of human biology and history. The new string comes from the left.

Last year I've seen the (leftist) German foreign minister in a political discussion show, pleading to consider all the different historical aspects when discussing views in Poland, before grabbing the pitchforks (not meaning to endorse certain aspects). I love how he would be banned and called a racist if he had to face that distinguished mentally-challenged mob of wannabe-nerd-stalinists of REE :doge

It sounds interesting in a theoretical way, but reviews make it sound like it has a lot of deep, “interesting” systems, at least one of which I’d likely abhor. I’m also not a fan of first person in such games.

From what i've seen it's fairly pretty for an RPG, it doesn't look like they just made a handful of buildings and just copied them 100 times, and the environment art (trees, leaves, grass) looks very natural and believable. The armour system also gives you a lot of options to tinker around with.

But not really a fan of medieval rpgs. Hopefully the fan mods people will make will put the base game to shame

Yeah. I just think it looks boring. Like a bunch of "great" (frustrating and tedious)  RPG systems wrapped up in bland presentation, with crappy looking combat. It looks fairly dense as a world which is good, but I think the graphics look awful,, like a cheap as fuck euro RPG. Which it is, but people keep saying it looks amazing. Don't understand it at all.

It's instantly recognizable because for some reason no one else is able to make medieval games/fiction without crap like hobbits and elves. Doesn't mean it's instantly good though. And on RE it gets attention because it's a nazi's game.

Goddamn, that a great comparison. It is certainly a hilarious clusterfuck of an ideology, an ideology that is divisive and oblivious enough to serve the ruling class very well which is why it is supported by them so strongly.

As for the alt-right I wouldn't be surprised if in the not so distant future and after the alt-left has lost all credibility they start using them too to resume dividing the population.

This is it, this is where the crazies scare away the last sane members

McCarthyism!
USSR was not communist!
It was never tried!
You have an agenda!
'Graph of income inequality'

 :derp


They simply ignore the historical fact of over 30 years of communist oppression in Eastern Europe. Deportations, gulags, executions.
'Nazi' rule outside of Nazi Germany lasted about 4/5 years for most countries, 8 years for some caught early in the spiders web.
Communist rule lasted generations and devastated countries like Eastern Germany, Poland, Ukraine etc. .
The current sad state of Eastern Europe including their unhinged nationalism in some cases can almost entirely be traced back to the communist rule.

But don't mind history, facts and national identity, just look at this one graph  :doge

I wonder if they don't know that fascism (especially the italian flavour) had many aspects of a totalitarian left-wing agenda, or if they're just willingly ignoring it.
Probably the former :lol

https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-does-communism-get-a-pass-on-this-forum.24140/#post-4674241

This is it, this is where the crazies scare away the last sane members

McCarthyism!
USSR was not communist!
It was never tried!
You have an agenda!
'Graph of income inequality'

 :derp


They simply ignore the historical fact of over 30 years of communist oppression in Eastern Europe. Deportations, gulags, executions.
'Nazi' rule outside of Nazi Germany lasted about 4/5 years for most countries, 8 years for some caught early in the spiders web.
Communist rule lasted generations and devastated countries like Eastern Germany, Poland, Ukraine etc. .
The current sad state of Eastern Europe including their unhinged nationalism in some cases can almost entirely be traced back to the communist rule.

But don't mind history, facts and national identity, just look at this one graph  :doge

But I'd concede one point to them: USSR.

In the context of the cold war, it didn't matter if the USSR was run by Commies, ultra-Catholic faschists (like Franco) or just a feudal king, it would have sucked to live under Soviet/Russian rule as a republic or satellite state. And while Western Europe got off easy, it wasn't too much fun for Latin America to live under US domination either.

not really. Mussolini was initially among left nationalists, but that didn't even last through WW1. His fascist movement as early as 1920 gained steam by being an anti-socialist party aiming to destroy workers' protests in Italy (which was something invoking fear of communism). Particularly communism was the main (not defined by race) enemy in fascism, even more so when Italy had to subject itself to German fascism.

On the other hand, dictatorships right after WW2 like Eastern Germany were justifying their authority on the supposed basis of being the only ones being truly anti-nazi/fascist.

Just picked up a 3 day ban.

I would've been annoyed with myself if I lost my cool and said something dumb to get banned.

I didn't, though, and I think I got banned for stating the morally correct position. Defense, as a general principle, is not an obstruction to justice, but rather, a facilitator of it. Every criminal we've put in prison has had a defense, and still they were convicted. Defense just makes sure that justice must be rigorously tested before it's executed, so unjust punishments are minimized.

So I'm a little annoyed because some of the staff is actively working against a discussion board having good discussion, but I'm not annoyed because I still feel good about my post.

The only thing i feel when posting on Reset is being violated. "Surely it can't be this bad this time? Oh my fucking God... You people are insane".

Welcome to the Free Republic of Bore friend, glad to see you've escaped the gulag.
The memes are here and in the outside link thread, there's some uncensored pornography is that floats your boat in the NSFW thread.

There's a pretty cool gaming place next door as well.

I watched a video of that Kingdom Come game and it looks horrible. Not sure why everyone is paying it so much attention.

Because edgelord game designer and 4chan (read: /pol/) interest. That's it.

A quote from the Waypoint podcast:

"There are people who come to us, maybe not for purchasing decision, but for insight, for understanding what games are out there-"

"How should I feel about this thing"

Your (and resetera's) narrative sure makes it look like gamergate is extremely popular amongst gamers given the game's rather impressive success.

Btw I don't know wtf you people are talking about, the game's combat looks very interesting. Everything else not so much but the combat looks deep and satisfying.
