Eh, it wasn't even that long ago that there were still a few souls in the American halls of power who still had honor and integrity. Barry Goldwater, for example, who stuck to his guns no matter how many enemies he'd made or how badly it crippled his already marginal chances at victory in 1964 (which were further hobbled when LBJ had the CIA spy on him, but of course that never got as much attention as Watergate).

But men like him seem to be rarer than diamonds in the best of times, and these times are anything but. The modern political class, much like most of his generation, doesn't deserve to clean his shoes with their tongues.

At this point I don't think it's fair to compare even NTR male protagonists to Current Year American politicians. I'm sure the former universally put up a stiffer fight for, and experience a higher rate of success in defending, their love interests than the latter ever would for their country and constituents.

Yep, the one & only.

And wouldn't you know it, Biden's prayer has now been answered.

Incidentally this makes him even worse than Woodrow motherfucking Wilson - I don't remember Mr. 'The KKK Writes History With Lightning' publicly praying 'PLEASE GOD SEE TO IT THAT THIS NIGGER SWINGS' and allowing the press to broadcast it far & wide whenever a case involving black people came up back in his day. Hell, unlike the current commander-in-chief, he even had the grace to say this:

I say plainly that every American who takes part in the action of mob or gives it any sort of continence is no true son of this great democracy but its betrayer, and ...[discredits] her by that single disloyalty to her standards of law and of rights.

Can't imagine Biden or worse still, Harris saying anything like that about Chauvin or any other victim of blakkk violence these days.

Welcome back to the United States of Lyncherdom in all its (in)glory, folks.

I can only hope and pray that that's true. There better be a reckoning for all this bullshit and the more thorough it is, the more glorious and the better it will be for future generations.

So did Bush Sr, at least he wasn't trying to puke on the Japanese PM of his time.

Yes, but that's because I hang out a lot on Paradox-related fora & (well, not so much now) the Paradox Interactive forums themselves. There were enough of them to be annoying at times, but since Pdox began cracking down on 'white supremacist' fan content and mods in 2016 or so, I'd easily rather have them back than the legion of even louder and more ill-informed troons & soyboys that replaced them.

Pretty much. If anything, this Will Solomon is splendidly making the case that you can use off-color jokes about Jews, blacks, the alphabet soup & others being zealously protected & promoted by the neoliberal establishment as a gatekeeping tool. Anyone who can't laugh at said jokes, is likely to almost certainly a soy-infused killjoy who you wouldn't want shitting up your Discord/forum/modding community/whatever anyway.

Considering the high amount of unconsensual and/or underage sex in The Frontier on top of all the narrative trainwrecks, nonsensical writing and outrageously egotistical hack creators, I think Game of Thrones might be an even more fitting comparison.

No problem, I think The Frontier is going to endure for many years more as an object lesson for future modders of how to not work and conduct themselves. This wasn't the only mod to spectacularly crash & burn amid scandal recently either, The New Order for Hearts of Iron IV (which its creator actually hoped would kick off his writing career...) also flamed out amid revelations of the mod team being a den of tranny sexual groomers targeting children & teenagers, acting abusively toward their code & localisation writers, injecting their retarded politics into the mod to the detriment of actual gameplay, etc. It's like someone spiked a whole lot of modders' water supplies in the latter half of the past decade.

The Frontier's situation blew up so epically and attracted so much attention that there's now a legion of videos explaining how & why it crashed and burned, from actually in-depth 30+ min vids to much shorter ones that are just ripping & memeing on the mod's carcass. Now I'm sure most, if not all, of these videos can explain the Frontier's downfall much more eloquently and entertainingly than myself, but to summarize what I've gathered from watching the situation unfold on a certain forum for the appreciation of New Zealander agriculture:

• The Frontier was developed over several years, during which it built up an insane amount of hype. It was pumped up as this 'lore respecting' mod with writing so stellar that it'd show Bethesda how Fallout is done, cool new mechanics like drivable vehicles, and even briefly made it to E3.

• Then it actually came out and uh, turned out to not live up to any of its promises save the drivable vehicles, to put it charitably. The writing was at best on the level of amateur fanfic (the Legion is woke and has fighting women, the NCR splinter's leader's characterization is completely contradictory, the plot is driven by the most obvious Legion spy in existence, etc), at worst a poorly connected string of scenes and setpieces blatantly plagiarized from CoD/Wolfenstein/Black Hawk Down/other popular shooters & war movies with the names changed and none of the context of the original scenes. It was also riddled with the devs' politics; most infamously they wouldn't let you play as the Enclave, who also have a fucking space station, because they're a 'racist, fascist paramilitary organization' according to the mod itself. (Nevermind that they're basically the American deep state and the Legion, which fits the 'fascist paramilitary org' bill much more neatly, are also playable)

• The devs insist that their work is the best thing since sliced bread anyway, and actively picked fights on not just various Fallout fora but also, fatally, 4chan to defend it. Their opinion that the Enclave and its fans = Trump supporters became known around this time. They generally act like a bunch of pretentious, thin-skinned asshats which, of course, doesn't exactly endear them to anyone outside their bubble, least of all /v/.

• People, both on and off /v/, started calling attention to the mod's downright filthy and unsettling fetishy side. Talking snakeman drugfiends living in a sewer whose queen you can bang, a bangable deathclaw, a quest where you fight a boss that brags about fucking his teenage slave in the ass, a supposedly just-turned-18 female redhead Asian companion who acts like she's 12 and can be mind-broken into being your slave, an encounter with another Asian girl character whose every other line of dialogue is blathering about how much sex & drugs she'll have once she turns 18 (meaning she's actually underage), etc. Unlike the politics, this stuff was considered pretty much totally indefensible even by left wing Fallout fans.

• /v/ also found that ZuTheSkunk, one of the mod's icon and armor artists with a self-insert in the mod, left FurAffinity specifically in search of another furry hangout where he could post sexual content involving minors. And that that's what he'd been doing for the entirety of the time he was working on The Frontier.

• The dev team panicked, deleted fucking everything, tried to blame ZuTheSkunk for all their scandals (despite him just having worked on the icons & armor for the mod, so he had nothing to do with the shit writing or the injections of fetish fuel) and quit both the Frontier and, at least in team leader TGSpy's case, modding in general. They have scattered from the burning wreck of their labor and are now trying to keep as low a profile on the Internet as possible, as far as I can tell. /v/ and the Farms ran a couple more searches before getting bored, finding that one of the actual writers previously authored a ghoul rape fanfic with over 100 chapters.

This almost feels like a parody. I'm legitimately surprised anyone, but especially people who share the beliefs of the Frontier's dev team, would still want to touch that trash fire of a mod after its rampant skeeviness got exposed and turned into such an embarrassment that said dev team had to try to pin everything on a furry pedo scapegoat who was actually probably one of the least degenerate members in their ranks. IIRC that shitstorm got so bad that the lead guy (among others) bailed not just from the Frontier but from the modding scene altogether rather than deal with the, well, fallout any longer.

#StopAsianHate though, amirite?

'Brewing'? Looks to me like it's been there for a couple years already. The only thing keeping the left's hordes from just murdering anyone to the right of Madame Mao in their beds or outright eating them en masse are the latter's guns, and we all know the Harris-Biden administration is gearing up to fix that.

I'm inclined to agree she didn't do that intentionally, much less to express support for BLM. Immediately afterward she replaced the BLM badge and the others she had with blue ones, so tbh if anything I'd guess her political inclinations might run in the other direction. (Not that Hololive's VTubers are allowed to touch politics with a 10,000 ft pole anyway)

Well done to this

Legion Hungaria organization for their role in defacing the monument.

I don't know about him being personally involved in the butchery of children and pregnant women on that black day, but I do know he did an AMA (on the cesspool that is r/politics no less) where he claimed the Branch Davidians shot down choppers with Barretts and, in general, did such a poor job defending himself & the ATF's record that even r/politics wasn't fully onboard with him.

To be fair, ancient Egypt was pretty cool. So was the Axumite/Ethiopian Empire, and the Berbers back when they were still Christian too.

Of course, two of those three weren't black sub-Saharan Africans. And the Ethiopians arguably have more in common with pre-Islamic Arabs than black Africans as well, their language is classified as a (South) Semitic one and in general they've had their shit together for much longer than basically the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. Not to mention their last emperor had this to say when some 'intellectual' thought it was a good idea to ask him to lead some pan-African union against whitey.

Daily reminder, though I doubt many people on a .win site need it, that the 'African nationalists' who pushed for decolonization and the removal of Europeans from Africa were - with literally one exception I can think of, Botswana's Seretse Khama - a veritable rogues' gallery of some of the worst thieves, genocidaires and megalomaniacs in history who couldn't care less about their people's freedom, and were solely in the 'heroic liberation struggle' to be able to enrich themselves & their cronies and/or settle scores with their tribe's traditional enemies without those pesky Euro administrators in the way.

In France's case their best known African adversary was the Algerian National Liberation Front or FLN, a gang of extremely sadistic yet also craven terrorist thugs who were fantastic at murdering and raping French civilians but horrible at actually fighting the French army & gendarmes, to the point where they had basically lost the war in the early '60s. The only reason they won was because Charles de Gaulle backstabbed the pied-noirs and nationalist officers who put him in power in the first place to give Algeria its independence on a silver platter, and since then they've been busy oppressing non-Arab populations, nullifying elections they couldn't win even with extensive rigging, and running the economy so badly that their president got overthrown almost 10 years after the Arab Spring ran its course.

Unfortunately vermin like this bitch have managed to reach & fester in Metropolitan France anyway, the exact outcome De Gaulle and other advocates of withdrawal from Algeria & elsewhere said they'd be avoiding by leaving said colonies, and though she'd at best be some warlord's or corrupt bureaucrat's bedwarmer back in Africa she obviously hasn't got a shred of gratitude for the French people who unwisely let her live among them. Instead she's gonna do her damndest to export what the other black and Arab 'nationalists' did in their homelands to the metropole itself. Tant pis pour le France.

No matter how bad the rot gets, I don't believe it's ever too late for the normies to wake up, go apeshit and spontaneously tear down the monstrous system parasitizing off of them one day. After all nobody could have foreseen in 1985 that the Soviet Union and its Warsaw Pact puppets, not even Romania's Communist regime which was the closest in Europe to present-day North Korea in its all-pervasive totalitarian setup, would completely fall apart at the seams within just 6 years. And yet that's exactly what happened, with Romania's Ceausescu and his bitchy wife in particular getting shot to pieces on television.

Or perhaps for an example better fitting current year America, there would have been even fewer in 1925 who could've expected that Weimar Germany would in 8 years elect a certain mustache man who - whatever your opinion on his opinion regarding the Jews - would close down the Institute for Sexology, get child hookers off the street while blowing out their pimps' brains and revitalize the German economy and national spirit, after all.

Damn, this guy has a Wiki article. And it even talks about his relations to and constant white-knighting for pedos!

Watermelons all the way down

Tbf, it's more like 'conservatives did conserve things back when they had spines'. The breed of conservatives who were willing to fill mass graves with progs kept most of Europe monarchic (in a genuine sense where the monarch actually wielded executive power) until WW1. Even in France, republicanism didn't stick until their defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, and they still almost became a monarchy in the early days of the Third Republic.

WW1, though...that was when, IMO, the rot irreversibly set in: it was where an entire generation of white Europeans steeped in a sense of romantic nationalism and tradition got decimated, the non-toothless continental monarchies were irreparably broken (including Russia, so called the 'Gendarme of Europe' for its role in containing & squishing liberal revolutions throughout the 19th century), the surviving European empires no longer had the wealth & power to indefinitely maintain control of their colonies, and staunchly modernistic ideologies like not just Communism and fascism but also liberal democracy itself filled the gap they left behind.

Well it's always nice to see some signs of resistance, even just this mild and completely logical line of questioning is better than nothing. Hoping against all hope that this will just be the start of a broader pushback from the enlisted ranks against the woke cancer.
