Stop talking out of both sides of your mouth like she is. When you acknowledge that she would probably welcome the destruction of the French people, then two sentences later suggest I misunderstand what she means when she says the French will have to leave or submit, you are no longer worth talking to.

Leftists agree with Antifa's goals and tactics. Right wingers (centrists, really, but that's another discussion) disagree with Patriot Fronts goals and/or tactics. It ultimately boils down to this.

Americans (and the west in general) have been brainwashed to believe that any form of nationalism or "white" collectivism are not just bad, but evil. This results in people desperately trying to distance themselves from anyone overtly supporting these positions and pushing the overton window ever leftward. Just look at how any time a "far right" party gets enough votes anywhere in Europe to require a coalition government, that rather than the "moderate right" and centrist parties forming a coalition with the "far right" and tempering the "bad" parts of their policies, they form a coalition with the left.

[T]he right wing would be better served if they said Antifa were feds instead, [they're] not an organic movement

This isn't true though. They have outsized power due to support from people with resources, and the refusal of government officials to punish them for their criminal behavior, but they aren't feds. They're all private citizens that legitimately hold they beliefs they profess.

[I]f you don't trust [patriot front] you don't have to support them, but going around screaming that they are feds is counterproductive

It's not counter-productive, it's status quo. The dissident right cannot be overt on anything close to a national scale yet (and likely won't be able to for generations, barring a seismic political shift.) They must use 'insurgent' tactics in the culture war; when they stage obviously inorganic public demonstrations, that doesn't help (and it's why they get called feds.)

That's not what either of us were talking about.

We were speaking about her right to comment about her right to comment about domestic policy in a foreign country.

/u/Assassin47 asserted that she didn't have a right to comment because no politician has a right to comment about domestic policy in a foreign country. You asserted that in this case the general rule doesn't apply because it's her grandmother. I asserted that you are incorrect because she is part of a government that supports policies (that she presumably agrees with) that caused the situation she's complaining about.

If you read the article (and the opinion piece it quotes) she says the following:

My appeal to the people of France is unequivocal: defend diversity, protect minorities and be firm against’ intolerance. The future of your nation depends on your ability to maintain these values. If France fails to protect its Jewish citizens, it will inevitably fail to protect its own identity and integrity.

I am going to urge my grandmother to join us in Israel, a country she should have come to for a long time. But let this serve as a’ warning: when the Jews are gone, the native French will be next to have to leave or submit.

She doesn't believe France should be expelling foreigners with incompatible ideologies. She believes they should keep taking the worlds castoffs. She doesn't talk about making the muslims "leave or submit", no, it's the French that will have to do that.

This kike can get out and stay out.

Her location and occupation have everything to do with it. Or have you not seen what Israel plans on doing with the displaced palestinians (assuming they don't just kill them all?)

I got all the way through WoT and the one prequel book Jordan wrote. I don't think it was bad (except for book 8. The story goes nowhere in that one) but for a series I hear discussed along with things like Lord of The Rings, Game of Thrones, Dune, etc. I was expecting an 8 or 9 out of 10, when I got something closer to a 7 overall.

I could break down my criticisms a little more, and I don't recommend against it, but it just wasn't what I was expecting.

I'm not currently reading anything, but I just finished Heinlein's Podkayne of Mars, which was interesting, if not as good as most of his other books I've read.

Before that I was reading through Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. I don't want to say it's overrated necessarily, but I don't think I like Fantasy as much as Sci-Fi, and based on the recommendations I'd seen I got the impression that Jordan (and Sanderson, who finished the series) was more conservative, or at least centrist with more traditional values.

When did they patch it out? I remember still seeing those ads when I played very late into the game's lifecycle (I think after the Anime came out.)

I don't think Antonio particularly cares.

That said, there's something to be said for the depths of human depravity possible without any outside influence.

Wasn't gopower the troll that was so over the top it was obvious he was using reverse psychology to make the jews look bad? No wonder he got banned. Shame, he was actually funny most of the time.

Did you seriously delete a post because it was poorly received?

That's a really faggy thing to do.

It's lacking context, but the ideas that a person in suffering will seek a purpose for that suffering, and that absent personal knowledge, a person will listen to someone else for an answer rather than seeking that answer themselves, but none of this is revelatory. It's simply using flowery language in order to dress up things we all (presumably) already know.

How much of the content is locked behind $40-$60 "seasons"/expansions though? Maybe it's merely a failure of their marketing, but I always got the impression that if I wanted to play everything I'd be shilling out over $100/year.

Not a "player", a "player character". There's still a puppet master controlling his strings in his (warped) mind. I wouldn't expect a judge or prosecutor or journalist to be able to grasp that distinction.

He's still completely off his rocker and doesn't deserve a place in civilized society, but there's still a twisted logic there.

Insufficient sentences are another issue, but if I understand how "not guilty by reason of insanity" verdicts work, you can still have supervision requirements after release. I don't expect Australia to handle this well, but the headline was written to imply "violent rapist back on the street because he thought he was in a video game", when that is not the case.

As I understand it, in the US, this would result in you being involuntarily committed to a mental institution until you were found competent to stand trial. It appears Australia has something similar (per the article):

Subject to further submissions by the parties, Mirza will be committed as a forensic patient under the control of the Mental Health Review Tribunal, and will not be released while still deemed a risk to himself or the public.

So this isn't letting a violent man roam the streets, it's putting him in a mental institution instead of a prison.

You could try messaging the admins and seeing if they'd be willing to appoint someone under Dom and Clock, since neither seems to be able to moderate obvious off-topic/spam/troll posts.

I get the idea behind community managers, but surely you've got one junior dev or manager or something that can handle that role, instead of the faggots that seem to be so common in that role (because most have no useful skills or refuse to apply themselves to something productive.) Someone that understands how people work, how gamers in particular work, and doesn't hate their community?

He can't get his son off on minor charges, but no one's prosecuting him for having sex with minors, relatives, minor relatives, or selling out American interests.

Just charged with? I'd almost say that's a constitutional violation, but I don't know if the equal protection clause would apply to what is clearly a privilege.
