Time to buy more ammo. I will not bend a knee to trump or his gestapo.

you'd assume how many posters on era openly declare how much they hate living in america and cant wait to peace out theyd fucking love the chance to go to a country that has actual marxist guerillas leading political parties

[Mediocre Lager]

For such a heavily moderated community, they sure do hate each other.

Also, feels like non-americans have made it to top 3 in oppression Olympics. Oh, mr American...so you're black, suicidal, trans, and neurodivergent? Fuck you Mr privilege, I live in Manitoba, take that!

To be fair, having to live in Manitoba is probably the worst fate anyone could possibly endure.

[Eric Cartman]

I don't wish to undermine my point, but this really does remind me somewhat of the first Pokemon movie plot, without consideration for the life they would create, they've for lack of a better term "played god" and also, is there not risk of new diseases that modern mammals aren't ready coming as a result of something like this? Biology is a very fragile and complex thing, in current times, I don't much relish such a possibility.

It's like when the suicide-baiters on Era are also fearing for lives while wanting to die. They should be so lucky as to be killed for the cause. It's better being a martyr than a barnacle on the hull of society. They don't have the willpower to go to a protest to die for a cause when the say they have nothing to live for. I don't get it.  Get out in those Red States and wave that Trans flag till you get shot, I say. It's not a suicide and you got to do something with your worthless life.

Sorry, if I come across extra spicy, I haven't been sleeping well. it's the damndest thing. I keep having nightmares about american bombs, american drones and american tanks being deployed against my country. Now I can't even distract myself with Mario Kart World.

These cosplay revolutionaries and soon to be genocided folks will all be emptying out of political/Trump Etecera and into Gaming Thread "OT- Switch 2 Now You're Playing With Power" come June 5.

[Eric Cartman]

I understand that and all, but let's be honest: There are a lot of people in this thread from nations that benefited from colonialism and the slave trade looking at folk whose ancestors were either in North America prior to European invasion, or forcibly taken into this country as slaves, and going "shut up and take your medicine." It's a bit wild if you ask me.

nobody gets to laugh at brexits own goal fucking stuff up, because MY ANCESTORS WERE COLONISED BY THE ROMANS, OKAY????

[Eric Cartman]

I'm starting to think designing a discussion forum around elevating or denigrating people based on irrelevant demographic characteristics while making the most hostile and dishonest members into community paragons may not work out to ensure threads have productive discussion.

But really this whole Canada situation reminds of the time Pikachu said "pika! pika-pi! pika-pika-pika! pika-CHU!" Still true to this day, brother.

There would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle,
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.
MEOWTH! Thats right!

I feel I should say that I am one such person that had a identity based around those books as a child, white kid, black hair, glasses, facial scar, I had multiple halloween costumes as harry growing up and I got into the books some time after a suicide attempt in 2nd grade and wished I would get a letter. Despite all of this when her views started to be come clear anything for the terf wizard went in the trash or a box. The only reason why the books got boxed and not garbage is the emotional value of receiving them as gifts from people that are passed. and a golden snitch my mom made me for a costume that is now just a zelda fairy in my mind. I actively took vernacular that I would regularly use and de Pottered it. And because of my near encyclopedic knowledge of the books have been accused of ruining magic for people when I point out how problematic the books are and how ingrained her hate is in them.

So yes this post is 100% right. Its not our fault she is trash, but we absolutely should not give this vile piece of trash any more power or mind share then we already have. She is an active harm to real people and needs to be stopped and that wont happen by holding dear to 7 books.

Ok, let me get this straight. This guy has read the Harry Potter books so many times he has an encyclopaedic knowledge of them and their problematic contents and ingrained HATE, but didn't ever criticise them or condemn the author UNTIL she started to express those EXACT SAME HATEFUL THEMES on Twitter? 

Kind of like how all of James Cameron's work demonstrate a misogynistic, pro-colonization view, and deeply racist beliefs.  We just could never see it until Avatar 2 came out, we went on a adderall binge, and looked for clues by reading the first letter of each sentence.

The Canada thread is a great read as well https://www.resetera.com/threads/nintendo-delays-switch-2-pre-orders-in-canada.1158294/

Console war

Regular war

Edit:

As American to other Americans. Shut the fuck up when talking down to other people in the rest of the world. You might not have voted for or supported Trump, I know I didn't but it don't fucking matter. He's running the country and trying to destroying the world order even as he runs the US into the ground to do so.

I understand that and all, but let's be honest: There are a lot of people in this thread from nations that benefited from colonialism and the slave trade looking at folk whose ancestors were either in North America prior to European invasion, or forcibly taken into this country as slaves, and going "shut up and take your medicine."

There's a real oppressionolympics going on. Only one nation can win!

Oh fuck yes.  All nations who participated in colonization are to blame for the price of Switch.   

It's funny how Trump is doing the things they're calling for. Putting the interests of the workers ahead of the investors and throwing wall street under the bus.
But when that means no more Japanese toys manufactured in Vietnamese sweatshops they lose their shit. 

US workers, yearning for a sweatshop job building guizmos for Dollar General.

Even if you're tempted because it's "free", please do not play Hogwarts Legacy

Please instead spend that time on Blue Prince, I can promise you first-hand that it's a more fulfilling experience ten times over, and then some.

How about I'll play both?

What a weird ass response, doesn’t the banned game have excellent representation for gender choices?

[Jansen]

Trump says 90-day pause on tariffs for those who didn't "retaliate" (lowers them to 10%), but raises tariffs on China to 125%

Oh shit oops 

[Nintex]

   

I can't believe China would enact such trade barriers, I guess they don't like free trade like the rest of us do.

[Propagandhim]

love watching consequential trade policy get unilaterally changed on an hour-to-hour whim basis.  Really great stability investors and industrialists are looking for.

I'm sorry, what on earth gave you the idea that "spaz" or any variant isn't bannable anymore. It absolutely is. Point me towards people that use it and I will ban them right now.

[COLOR=rgb(255, 166, 77)]Mod edit: hide tags do not work the way you used them here[/COLOR]

I'll have to check with the mods that were part of that decision. This can happen, when we feel generous on a given usage and believe in good faith ignorance or language barriers. Though in this case I personally disagree and think it should have been actioned.
We have a lot of moderators on staff and everyone has different sensibilities and there is always a degree of judgement call involved.

Either way, please continue to report ableism when you see it.

Hey, just so you know, this is not how hidden tags work. They don't actually do anything when you use them that way. Please don't. If there's something you need to tell staff secretly then send a ticket.

Investors are eating it up though. Dow is up 6%.

Investors have the object permanence understanding of an infant, or they're just gambling addicts.

100%+ tariffs on China...10% tariffs on 75 mostly irrelevant countries...the economy is saved!
