So it's a Judean People's Front situation?

He means whoever it is which appears to be trying to control it all. Whether that's the deep state or whoever else.

Perhaps, but this is the rarest of all things - an evident leftist who is happy to sit down and consider the facts as well as their opponents' points of view.

It's not a perfect rendition and he gets one or two things wrong but it's still an excellent piece.

Well, it is quite offensive to compare a graceful, beautiful, and functional part of the ecosystem to gypsies.

I wonder how many sex offenders are in the orchestra.

If this is the same "we're coming for your children" people the answer is a lot.

tl;dr Gamergate hangout based on free speech rather than moderator interference.

If you recall the olden days of Gamergate in 2014 you'll remember that a whole bunch of journalists were found in bed with each other (literally and figuratively) and breaching just about every law of journalistic ethics out there. We weren't happy and long story short a bunch of advertisers pulled out, Gawker was destroyed (not our doing but fun to watch), and the FTC put in improved ethical regulations.

Since then it spiralled out to a more general anti-censorship, pro-journalistic-ethics group back on reddit under the name KotakuInAction, and kept on there for a little while.

However after a while the mods fucked up. They started censoring more and more, and started getting under the users' skin. This came to a head when they proposed a rule change on "off-topic" posts. They presented a poll to the userbase, and the users overwhelmingly (90%+ IIRC) voted to not increase posting restrictions. The mods' response was a simple "fuck you we're doing it anyway" and so most of the active users left to go to KotakuInAction2 on reddit. Then of course there was the T_D purge and the start of win communities and here we are.

How on earth she's attracted to Demi Lovato is beyond me.

In two hundred years people will blame outside forces for this too. Chinese psyops, russian propaganda, anything so they don't have to think about the uncomfortable truth that they're just as able to have society fall as we are.

Issue with 6 is that even though it has a lot of nifty features, either I'm getting smarter or the games are getting easier. And I know I'm dumb as shit.

Trump's biggest mistake, consistently, has been listening to his advisors. Who vary from being RINO scum to still using the 2004 "dignified" republican playbook.

While they are few and far between there is still the very occasional instance of the movie being better than the original book or media.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit, for example.

He wasn't exonerated. It was a procedural thing. The prosecution fucked up and overplayed their hand basically.

Note this appeal isn't about the evidence. It's procedural on the prosecution doing their job wrong.

Guys read the appeals. He wasn't let out because of a lack of evidence. He was let out because the prosecution overplayed their hand and used a shitty character assassination tactic.

I've been here long enough to remember when we complained about the "no bad tactics, only bad targets" mindset.

If it's only okay to do something to someone if they happen to be something dislike, you don't have any to start with.

I believe you're setting up a false dichotomy there.

Not setting off a left wing revolution isn't quite the same as actively maintaining a right wing power balance. It is possible to be neither.

You missed the guy asking her the question, where she jumped from "Do you have a question?" to "Well you just asked me fourteen questions this is absurd" in the space of one sentence.

It's all they have. Remember when Trump was banned from Twitter and there were multiple reddit threads from people who had run those Trump insta-reply accounts who didn't know what to do anymore.

If Trump were to die tomorrow, after their inevitable celebrations die down they'd feel empty inside right up until their puppetmasters find something new for them to be outraged at.
