I'd love to ask an indigenous new zealander how they feel about being colonised by the maori, except that tribe probably got literally genocided because thats how history worked back then

Pretty sure it was uninhabited dude.

[Boredfrom]

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.

It was a visceral comment. I’m sorry that sometimes I want to express this without getting in a fight (that I got I anyway).

Zelensky in the White House gets ambushed and some reasonable member like nachobro say: good.  

Trump and Bukele fellatio each other and admit that don’t care about their own citizens well being. I got mad remembering that incident.  

That’s my whole perspective about it.

So ill be brave and ask how many got fem peni?

There are no psychotic guys at this smash bros tournament for c00t grilz

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.
You don't need to intimidate carrots

Ritual cannibalism as an insult too

If the island was uninhabited then what did the maori eat?

Afaik the only inhabitants were some giant ass bird that were quickly hunted to extinction.

(It would probably shock Nepenthe to hear that not every indigenous tribe is perfectly aligned with nature)

[Taco Bell Tower]

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  

https://www.resetera.com/threads/4chan-hacked-site-is-currently-down-might-possibly-be-the-end-of-4chan.1164528/

Not deleted, the mods private it.  Probably afraid 4chan will talk smack about them

Lol, no.

They're afraid of being doxxed

But Ree loves to doxx!

Likes are not an endorsement and posts may not reflect my actual beliefs.

Likes absolutely are endorsements and every single post i've liked I stand by 100% until the day I die.

[HaughtyFrank]

90% of the replies/quotes are some variation of "where's the women/sisters at?", 9% are accusations of pedophilia and/or just slurs, the other 1% are like this:

You know it's easy to make fun of the women in the pic but truly everyone in it regardless of gender is a high weapons grade nerd. It's impressive really

[Boredfrom]

Also, Benji, this happens when I reply stuff directly:

Capping for the old mental asylum system.  

Some people should be institutionalized, sure (I have some personal experience with family  ), but getting nostalgic about old asylums?

We used to put pedophiles in the dirt or the clergy. Now we just call them weeaboos.

But is okay because is a joke.  (Love you potato, but you are an asshole).

Sometimes is not worth the potential fight. When I said the forum is contrarian haven, is both positive and negative as I’m also a contrarian at times. Is better for discussion than ERA, but doesn’t exactly bypass the problem of discussion forums where strong personalities dominate over others.

I wasn't referring to you. You replied to the post you had an issue with (as did others), that's more than fine that's ideal. You didn't post some nebulous "you're all Trump cock suckers here" or "you guys are constantly posting bigotry" that we get and that Blueball served up that Doc seemed to be agreeing with. People come in and whine about "everybody" doing this or that while never actually calling out the things they're whining about, then tar everyone with the accusation. It's cowardly shit like ResetERA.com members constantly bitching about how their forum is so racist and transphobic and the staff are Zionist fascists and so on while never in their life daring to actually confront the people they supposedly are disagreeing with that are apparently all over the place. We had it all the time on the OG and it was the claimed reason so many people fled to the Discord.

I know I harp on this. There's a difference between coming into the thread, seeing the last page is half about anime or whatever and posting "you guys are all pedophiles" and these other accusations that have nothing to do with the actual discussion that occurs. The Trump stuff is this. Even Nintex has been critical of Trump the last couple months, otherwise this forum has essentially no Trump supporters. From time to time someone says he's right about something or less bad than something else, and that's it, which shouldn't be objectionable from a general standpoint. But we regularly get posts accusing everybody here of dismissing concerns/downplaying something/etc. because we're being too rational and non-hysterical about something.

I believe this to almost always be true: a person who wants you outraged, and especially if they want you panicking, is attempting to manipulate you. It's just pathetic when they can't even articulate what action they want you to take.

edit: The reason these kinds of accusations are additionally bad is because it's not something anyone else can discuss. It just devolves into people throwing around accusations and asserting they're one of the good ones.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

When it's a woman making transphobic comments? Get rid of her.

A man supporting Nazi Trump and his anti trans genocide? Look, we have our containment thread don't bother us.

Every place was uninhabited until Africans moved out of Africa and ruined it.

To end capitalism everybody just needs to scramble to Africa.


Scramble for Africa, giant European war, communist revolution, end of Capitalism. Easy peasy

I put up a small LGBTQ flag up on my window, but due to these group of cars decked out in Trump and Elon flags/signs driving down my neighborhood, it has scared my mom into demanding i take it down. Not sure what they were doing, but yeah, there were about 6 to 7 cars decked out in American flags and Trump flags, with like Elon musk wooden boards being carted around attached to their cars.
Apparently according to our community app, Trump supporters are attacking homes now that say anything bad about Trump. They are vandalizing people's property who speak out against him. I don't know if these people are specifically the ones doing it though. It is strange that they stopped at our house before driving off. I Do not think they noticed my flag but my mom is paranoid. I don't know.




My mom thinks I am putting a target on our house due to my LGBTQ flag. It is not even a big flag, but it made me very mad at the idea of taking down my flag. I told her I refuse to be oppressed, and that I refuse to bow to Kings, dictators and Nazis. I should have a right to free speech.
I live with my mom, grandma and sister. She thinks I am putting them all in danger.

I won't disclose my exact location but I will say I live in Sacramento, and I have come to learn my area is very pro Trump. During the election I saw a massive explosion of Trump supporters just everywhere. Now that they have won, they are acting as a private police force intimidating people I guess by driving around this area. Driving down neighborhoods. I mean why else are they parading around? My only other guess is to fight against the rising anti trump protests in the US?

My mom wants privacy. She does not want trouble. I don't know what to do. I told her she will have to be the one to remove it not me.

That's a really difficult situation. You have every right to display whatever you want. I personally would not want you to take it down. But if there are threats happening, I get where your mom is coming from too. It's a dangerous time to be LGBTQ+. They ARE killing us.
Do what you feel is right.

I get current life is fucked, I feel for all you in the US as it looks dire and the fact it affect me down here is frustrating. I just dont get hating on people for just trying to enjoy some entertianment that they get joy out of.

Especially Wrestling fans, fuck, we all get hated on and dissed just for liking Pro Wrestling and enjoying something others mock for being fake. Why do we have to hate on each other like this.

We all get it, we know the people running WWE are fucking usless racist fuckers with all of the bad intentions in life. But just to fucking go off at us for it, just over it.

Won't someone think of the poor wrestling fans?

Dropping the kayfabe for a bit, ok.

People get mad at you because you extrapolate intention from their words rather than reading at face value. Benji has explained this to you multiple times.

At no point was I "capping for the old mental asylum system" just pointing out a fact. I also certainly am not "nostalgic about old asylums".

Once you do that extrapolation, people will rightfully dump on you. That's Resetera behaviour. 

Anyway, back to business.

It's not your fault for liking genocidal fascist garbage literally killing people. There can be no ethical consumption under capitalism. Escapism is important during the late stage of capitalism. 🙏

That's a tough situation. There's not a good answer, everyone's safety should matter. If it were me, I would be having a difficult conversation with those in the house to find out where they want to draw the line. Because these people will not stop just because the flags disappear. This is going to escalate unless something big changes, and that involves people standing together. It's best to know in advance how much or little they will put up with before they will stand with you.
