I guess the mods deleted it, but there was a thread on the 4chan hack. Every post was either celebrating it or afraid that the user are going to contaminate the rest of the internet. 

Same reaction everyone else had when neogaf imploded

I know some people may have hang ups here. Since gym locker rooms are semi public--for the members.

I do cover up and use towels like a normal person. It's mostly the old guys that just don't care lol.

Been doing gyms for a while and I always shower after. Just like that clean feeling, even after weights, which doesn't make me sweat much. Plus I have dopp kit with my nice products and fragrances. Feels good!

I also love that my gym has super high pressure shower heads. Plus theres a sauna and steam room, so you kinda have to shower if you use those.

entremet wants to know more of your Human hygiene habits. 

I think he's an alien and his race is trying to build a human terrarium or something

Why don’t you guys check out the El Salvador thread to see Nep’s latest adventure.

Also, the initial statement I personally jumped in on is wrong. To say "Fascism is not a European thing" is literally false. If it's not European then what is it? Maori? It's a false statement. Clear speech should be utilized.

No credible evidence exists of pre-Māori settlement of New Zealand; on the other hand, compelling evidence from archaeology, linguistics, and physical anthropology indicates that the first settlers migrated from Polynesia and became the Māori.

You said "Fascism isn't a European thing." How else am I- a Black person- supposed to take that other than this weird Eurocentric view that a lot of you around here have purported to express in the past that American racism is some unique thing that has no historical basis in the horrid ideologies you all kindly "exported" the world over?

And there's that colonizer haughtiness that thinks you can tell me what to do.

"Fascism isn't an exclusively European thing"

Nepenthe: "Wow, that's such a Eurocentric view"

Long story short this dental office has taken great care of me and really fixed up my busted ass teeth, I like my Orthodontists and their assistants. But I have already paid them a damn large amount of money to do said teeth fixing….

Got an appointment on Wednesday and want to surprise the staff with a cake. Is that weird? I don't want to be the weird patient getting cake for people I already pay to help me, but I like 'em.

Yes.

The latest episode of the Nepenthe show is mildly interesting, because it further inverts the very super extremely recent "Canada can say Death to America, it's ok!" narrative.

Some guy: Send Trump Back to Europe (gay and stupid joke)
Other guy: No, you keep him in America, he sucks.
Nepenthe: Actually, this is historiologically and moralistically defensibly correctified to request as the indigenized and marginalized proto-residents of the global earthen nativity are entitled to be liberated from global western Fascism--a unique and distinct product of European maleficence--to achieve the eternal aims of global universal socialized proletarianated black, indigenous and people of colorized Marxism--which is also from Europe but we don't talk about that.

Like... of all the choices for 'peaceful indigenous culture' to pick, why choose Maori?

Their best known cultural signifiers are scary ass face tattoos and an intimidating war dance.

Those aren't exactly cultural remnants of a peace loving communal agrarian lifestyle.

I brought up awhile back that there are certain prominent people in that thread who will all of a sudden change the subject to point controversial things a wrestler said just because they are fans of others. So when you point out the controversial nature of WWE’s business, those same people get defensive. Like they did here.

[benji]

He isn’t wrong.

Why do you guys never provide examples let alone reply to the actual posts instead of this cowardly sniping at an imaginary everyone as if it will do something?

If anything it's the opposite tribal mentality that's more like Trump/MAGA that assumes because we're telling you if you're going to do this damned silly thing don't do it in this damned silly way we're somehow in league with and "suck the cock" of your opponents.

An Indigenous person telling whites to go home to Europe is in the right.

Whites are settlers. Yes, even after all of these centuries, they're still settlers. Indigenous people are still- to this day- fighting colonialism and genocide.

No problem with what they said.

Does she believe Indigenous people literally spawned out of the ground? This is a few North American (and possibly Mesoamerican? I forget) tribes creation myth btw.

You said "Fascism isn't a European thing." How else am I- a Black person- supposed to take that other than this weird Eurocentric view that a lot of you around here have purported to express in the past that American racism is some unique thing that has no historical basis in the horrid ideologies you all kindly "exported" the world over?

And there's that colonizer haughtiness that thinks you can tell me what to do.

How is fascism Eurocentric? Fascism isn't even necessarily racist as she's trying to imply here, it's a theory about the proper role for the state within a society. The focus in Italy was the nation because Italy was a new nation, it had no historical legacy of being a combined singular nation with democratic institutions. Germany and many other countries were very similar in this regard! Even Spain! Countries with an established historical binding were thus pretty immune to fascism, as movements, because the "bundle of sticks" was already assumed by the populace. 

The Nazis didn't adopt American racism either, they didn't even really even adopt "race" as we know it, it's a far more psuedoscientific mythology that was quite different. Aryan supremacy wasn't like white supremacy, it wasn't about the establishment of socialcultural and legal castes/classes in an otherwise unchanged liberal democratic society. It was literally a belief that Aryans had superhuman potential that the state would unlock. The offense of the other classes, which notably included the disabled who aren't a race, was that they suppressed the ability for the Aryans to achieve their potential. It was steeped in a number of German specifics, this is why the Nazis had to force it on Italy despite both being fascist. Mushing American racism with Nazi racism is simplistic bannering everything "white supremacy" and condemning it while adopting the same mentality that underlies why both are bad things and why we should understand them to avoid them.

Most regimes everywhere are pretty fascist anymore, yet Nepenthe would dismiss this as imported by capitalism or some shit, not that fascism was an entirely logical step back from socialism's failure in practice. Fascism is really just authoritarian dirgisme, the latter of which is something which many countries perhaps most notably France practiced well before the fascist era. Islamofascism wasn't the insane thing it was mocked for being because many Islamist states are pretty fascist, they just replace the nation with Islam. The United States is "more fascist" now than it was in the past because the state controls an ever larger share of the economy and has a massively increased size of a police state backed by a militarization mentality. It's the same for a lot of countries but almost none of it is intentional. China's transitioned to something more like fascism because it was an authoritarian communist state that opened large swaths of its economy to private action heavily overseen by the state.

But the main reason she thinks fascism or whatever else is "Eurocentric" is because she's convinced white people and anybody with a skin color darker than a certain shade she refuses to specify (but probably stops before Asians) aren't the same species. Because she's an ignorant racist. The same also applies to a lot of her complete lack of knowledge about Africa and her insistent belief that all African and African-derived people are like upper middle class Black Americans from the urban South.

No credible evidence exists of pre-Māori settlement of New Zealand; on the other hand, compelling evidence from archaeology, linguistics, and physical anthropology indicates that the first settlers migrated from Polynesia and became the Māori.

Let's play a game Nepenthe. Any society can be fascist if you try hard enough, even Maori and video game forums.

Let's look at the definition of fascism: 

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right[1][2][3], authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[4][5][6] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy

So, let's look at those things and compare to tribal cultures like the Maori:

• dictatorial leader (unelected chiefs) ✅
  
• centralized autocracy (hapū were responsible for administering resources, land, and important community buildings) ✅
  
• militarism (War is woven into Māori traditional stories, including the creation myth) ✅
  
• forcible suppression of opposition (The functions of the hapu were the control of a specific territory and defence of that territory, if necessary by war, against any other group) ✅
  
• belief in a natural social hierarchy (Māori society was built on a complex social structure rooted in genealogy and mana) ✅
  
• subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race (Traditional Maori society emphasised the rights and obligations of persons as members of village, whanau and hapu rather than as discrete individuals) ✅
  
• strong regimentation of society and the economy. (Māori society before European contact was stratified into three social rankings: the rangatira or kāhui-ariki (leaders), tūtūā (commoners), and taurekareka or mōkai (slaves).) ✅
  

Now let's look at Resetera moderation: 

• dictatorial leader (unelected General Manager) ✅
  
• centralized autocracy (unelected moderation) ✅
  
• militarism (moderation organised in rank with captains and admirals admins in the hierarchy) ✅
  
• forcible suppression of opposition (just try criticising the moderation) ✅
  
• belief in a natural social hierarchy (existence of prominent members) ✅
  
• subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race (banned for dismissing concerns) ✅
  
• strong regimentation of society and the economy. (Banned for wrong think, banned games, banned topics) ✅
