International law is a joke.

Laws only matter if and how they are enforced.

US is the power that could enforce international laws and laws of war on Israel, but US is actively choosing not to and instead actively enable Israel.

How? Invade Israel?

I just realized that every Alien film has had a female protagonist. Is it something they have mandated at this point? Just interesting considering most franchises out there would have had one or two films with a male protagonist by now.

These people really are just non-functional.

Series about walking phallic monster forcibly impregnating people. What could it mean.

"Just seen videos of two toddlers with faces completely burnt, so heartbreaking"

"Yup. Same age as my son, except this poor girl has tremors as she's sitting there eating a lollipop. The pure innocence, suffering. My heart breaks."

We get it, you like to watch murder porn and can't get enough of it because it makes you feel something other than self loathing for your own boring life.

TransEra coming out to shit on Alien: Romulus? Guess when a real woman gets screen time their dysphoria starts acting up.

[nobody of note]

Little flare-up in constructive, but they used the cop comparison so B-Dubs was able to discipline:

Yes. The mods/staff killed the community.

Ehh I don't think it's that black & white.

Then you don't have a good grasp on what has transpired.

Doxxing was involved and the staff erred on the side of caution to protect a community member. Things getting emotional is understandable, but when it leads to doxxing, that's too far.

User banned (2 weeks): inflammatory comparisons

Staff have repeatedly implied that the community that was driven off was involved with the doxxing but have supplied no evidence - despite repeated requests to do so - that the community formerly known as PoliEra or individual members thereof had anything to do with it. The doxxing website in question has existed for many years and has routinely doxxed or attempted to dox Era mods and admins for many years because the troglodytes who run that place are fascist pieces of shit who hate progressives of all stripes, and "things getting emotional" is not why this doxxing took place - it's not even clear if the doxxing was recent or only just discovered.

Why the staff have continually muddied the waters regarding PoliEra's (lack of) involvement with the doxxing is an interesting question they have made clear they're not going to answer, nor are they going to answer any of the many excellent posts made regarding the quadrupling down of a mod over the precise legal definition of sex slavery by Hamas, a murderous terrorist group, and the heavy handed bans that were handed out for the initial post and several other posters who questioned it, nor are they going to make the mod in question or the admin who posted antisemitic remarks here and elsewhere step down, despite them both being manifestly unfit to serve in positions of authority over what is supposedly an inclusive community that is a safe space for survivors of sexual assault and sexual slavery, as well as people of all races and cultures (and I may well get a thread or forum-wide ban like a dozen others for even pointing this out).

My personal speculation is that, because they get a lot of shit from all directions (much of which is unjustified), they have developed a bunker mentality where concerns from outside the bunker are routinely ignored or paid lip service at best if the outcry is large enough, because backing each other up against the horde of unwashed and demanding posters is more important than openness, fairness or accountability. A thin purple line against posting anarchy if you will. I'm mostly being facetious here, but it turns out ACAB includes gaming forum moderators.

Enough with the drama and rehashing it and ignoring shit to make everyone else look good. Move on.

And seriously, direct comparisons to cops is over the damn line and you should all know that.

lol how do you ban not eating or drinking anything? What a joke

From what I read, what's banned is having a pause during a match if the breaking of the fast (hope it's the correct way to write it in English) happen during one:

Found this thread a bit amusing because first it sounds like they straight up banned Muslims from practicing their religion but then it turns out what's actually banned is taking a short pause during the game to drink and eat something to break the fast, something they can also do after the game and it would be totally fine with religious guidelines

Also here's L Thammy seemingly arguing that France locks people up for the crime of being Muslim 

Criminalize Islam and then justify your Islamophobia by calling Muslims criminals.

It's not just a football thing. Half of the people in French jails are Muslim.

Absolute vile, objectifying trash. And yes. Their objectification of children and women undermines any of the other talented work other members of the teams  may have done.

It's always fun seeing the posters who casually ignore these issues and make no kind of acknowledgment or effort to discuss. It's telling. Reminds me of that ridiculous Cyberpunk 2077 poster who just 'wanted to be hype' (💯) and sweep to the side any controversy.

They're seriously not over the 💯?

B-Dubs: Hates comparisons of his staff to cops.

Also B-Dubs: Runs to the cops when he’s afraid personal information has been leaked.

I don’t want to use the word ‘hero’, but…

Also for Zastava, I find it funny you question everything on the recent blowup yet don’t question the painting of this board.

Progressives are welcome here with open arms. We just don’t roll over for facists dressed in rainbows and eco-friendly hoodies demanding subservience to all their views without having to make a case for them whatsoever.

When America gives back the land and money it stole, I'll deck myself out in American flags and belt out some Toby Keith atop Mt. Rushmore. But until then, I'm just not in the mood to be remotely nationalistic in light of America's ongoing atrocities.

This should be the motto at the top of every page on this site.

You say, after posting a thread clearly meant to celebrate YouTube vigilantism against a relative minority of people taking advantage of a much bigger problem caused by the extremely inhumane conditions imparted on us all by capitalists and lawmakers in this country. I would ask why you thought this thread was a good idea, but considering there's far more "fuck squatting" than "fuck the housing crisis" in this thread, I guess I cannot say I'm surprised. Just tired.

B-Dumbs

So, as someone with some expertise in all of this, the framing of this thread is horrible. It's pure rage bait meant to twist perception. It does nothing to capture how complicated the situation is or the various failures at all points in our society--from city councils being unable/unwilling to reign in shitty landlords to homelessness groups being overworked to the point where they can't be bothered to spot obvious scam artists--and just flattens the discourse around the issue.

The OP, in truth, has a long history of posting these sorts of reactionary threads designed to anger people and illicit a kneejerk reaction that then cascades into pointless fighting where people talk past each other. He's done it previously around the whole "looting epidemic" and it seems like this is his new outrage target.

As a result, we're locking the thread and actioning the OP for trolling and inflammatory thread creation.

So why not permanently ban troublemakers like him?

Kyuuji must really want some attention with that Aliens take

[Nintex]

For some reason the political rise of Barrack Hussein Obama and the fall-out from Occupy Wall Street has produced an army of activist manchildren that hate their own country and civilization even though it is one of the few countries in the world that makes their lifestyle and survival even possible. 

And yet leaving the country you don't like to live somewhere else is somehow not enough for these lunatics, it has to be destroyed for others too and if possible erased from history.

There are times when I disagree politically with its leadership but advocating for the destruction of the United States, UK or EU is just insanity when the alternative is showing on a daily basis that it is objectively worse in every way.

[Snoopy]

From the Dragon’s Dogma thread -

shame this thing couldnt hit 93+ I was wanting to play it.

Ah well. Maybe DD3 will fare better.

Hopefully performance gets fixed for yall.

Imagine not playing a game because it didn’t hit 93+ on Metacritic. No wonder the AAA game industry never takes any risks.

When is China going to give the Uyghurs their land back and their autonomy? What about Tibet? Why are the Russians colonising eastern Europe...again? When will Brazilians give back the land and money they stole?

Get fucked with your selective outrage. Colonisation happened in more places than North America and the middle east. Cunt.

Fascism is when you oppose the state and cops in all forms. Progressivism is when you stereotype minorities, oppose democratic forms of information sharing, and promote religious nonsense in the guise of pseudoscience while wanting it enforced by cops.

What money was stolen??? How does she even think the world works?  

I'd also ask about the land that was stolen but I know she couldn't possibly remove the contradiction where she believes the land was stolen but also non-white people don't believe in property ownership in the first place. Let alone square it with her belief that property ownership, especially land ownership, is criminal.

It's also funny because she lives in the area of the country where some of the most blatant stolen land happened, absolute state-assisted fraud against people who actually did understand property rights.

I also notice she learned her lesson about not advocating for ethnic cleansing by here demanding it yet again in exactly the same format as what got her in trouble:

Yes, but it’s going to be worse for everyone. That’s their motivation.

[HaughtyFrank]

I get the feeling that Nepenthe thinks because she's black she's not really an American which means any of the critic pointed at America is never pointed at her. That she'd be considered a privileged American in many POC majority countries probably eludes her

[Uncle]

can you square reparations with communism?

I assume their idea is first, under capitalism, pay people back what they deserve during the times there are still haves and have-nots, and then transition to a perfectly equal utopia?

Well within her apology she was eager to mention that she'd be very happy to see South Africa ethnically cleansed of white people and that she discovered that it's a bit different with Jews because they got some annoying trauma about something called the Holocaust

They aren't thinking of them as reparations to actual individuals, but to ethnic groups. The capital won't be given to individuals but controlled by new ethnostates. That are based on the U.S. Census. So there will be one "Indigenous" state rather than all the different tribes. One "Black" state, one "Latinx" state, etc.

Oh to be Nep. To grow up in a white suburb surrounded by privilege and security. Then to feel so bored and inadequate with yourself that you need to cheer for the destruction of your own country and way of life.
