Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

The guy who was marrying Daisy but loving... I wanna say Tanya right before it, and in classic goon fashion ignored ALL advice against getting married. And then disappeared.

When they said Super Mario Odyssey had disturbing realism, I hadn't realized they meant that it was a reality show! :stare:

Every time Lowtax enters a manic episode and tries to reform the forums for two weeks, he ends up making a buch of dumb decisions and convincing the mods they are the ones keeping the forums alive - thus affirming in them the desire to mold the forums in their retarded, insufferable image despite the opposition by people actually using and enjoying them.

well except for that time during the shmorky fiasco recently where he demodded several people because they disagreed with him that GBS should be more like kiwifarms lol

I tried to tell him that his admins were probating/banning neonazi concern trolls and not actual good faith conservatives when he talked about how it was becoming a left wing echo chamber but he wouldn't listen.

Just swing by any sort of political thread.

It's just the same style of disingenuous comments and rules lawyering we all used to do when we were annoying people when we were kids, except delivered by racist men in their 30's. It's really a condemnation of American society as a whole.

Like, those people are going to die some day and a not insignificant portion of their lives was dedicated to annoying people online. As full grown adults.

I'm never sure which is a better end to these sagas: the OP legitimately vanishing from the forums, or the OP vanishing from their E/N thread but continuing to post twenty times a day in threads about Legos/Amiibos/the AAA video game of the moment/(insert other nerdy white-noise topic here). Both have their own special charms.

Not true. For a significant portion of lib posters being as lefty as B.S. is also being a Nazi. For others being only as lefty as B.S. is being a Nazi.

TheSaurus was a good poster, and it's sad they basically got him on a technicality.

The election happened, and lots of posters wanted to be the adult in the room by pretending that economically centrist socially liberal politicians were infallible philosopher kings. Then Clinton lost, and their broken brains decided that it meant leftists were the real nazis for sabotaging the golden path. Today the slapfights between the two about whether economic justice is a nazi plot to destroy america are the main thing happening in the DnD.

Also there's a bunch of posters stuck in the Stalinist era, earnestly believing that if you do not place yourself to the left of Stalin / Mao, you are part of a homogeneous mass of fascist bougie traitors.
