Still would have been funny if it turned out that the police didn't show up to mess things up due to a fear of ruining their shoes.

Charlottesville experienced a terrorist attack and several people were nearly murdered prior to that, largely thanks to police inaction - or quite possibly endorsement. Antifa on the scene are likely the only reason the body count wasn't higher. Even putting aside the extremely obvious crisis that is at hand with white power groups infiltrating police across the nation, the state is still far more likely to refrain from action from Nazis and other flavors of extreme right when the choice is that and anything vaguely left-wing.

There was a solid half a decade where it was somehow perfectly fine and acceptable to post "i'm gay" as the only post in literally every GBS thread, because somebody decided that old GBS had too much moderation, and it has been a cesspool ever since.

Trump demands two scoops of tariffs. A very interesting near transcript of an oval office conversation.

"China is laughing at us," Trump added. "Laughing."

Kelly responded: "Yes sir, I understand, you want tariffs."

He turned to Kelly: "So, John, I want you to know, this is my view. I want tariffs. And I want someone to bring me some tariffs."

Kelly replied: "Yes sir, understood sir, I have it."
[...]

Trump made sure the meeting ended with no confusion as to what he wanted.

"John, let me tell you why they didn't bring me any tariffs," he said. "I know there are some people in the room right now that are upset. I know there are some globalists in the room right now. And they don't want them, John, they don't want the tariffs. But I'm telling you, I want tariffs."

Kelly broke up the meeting and said the group would work things out and reconvene at the appropriate time.

Yeah, people pining for the good ol' days need to realize that people were whining about over moderation in GBS as far back as the early-mid 2000s. People unironically hated that they could get in trouble for posting overtly racist poo poo, for gently caress's sake. The time a lot of people here seem to remember when GBS had a lot of effortposts and actual content was kind of a weird middle ground that didn't exist for very long, and the truth is that the current cesspool really does resemble the very early forums more than anything.

Yeah, that would be it. But in order to have lots of effortposts you have to have lots of effortposters, and efforposters go to all the trouble of making an effortpost largely for the experience of sharing themselves with the community. If effortposts are met with nothing but insults and are seen as reason to dogpile or harass someone, then the effortposters will gently caress off and go somewhere else. When the effortposters leave nothing but shitposters will remain, and the single biggest problem with GBS right now is that it is full of goons that think that shitposting is the absolute height of culture.

Its one of the reasons D&D has remained relatively stable- for all its faults (and I could make decent effortpost about those) D&D is full of effortposters who give a drat about quality. Even our bitter/stupid/fruitless arguments and shouting matches look like Hemmingway compared to GBS right now. Honestly I don't think the D&D mod crew get enough thanks/credit for maintaining this subforum against what I can only imagine is a colossal amount of bullshit.

So FWIW worth D&D mods, thank you.

Crassus didn't become Caesar, though - he was content simply with being rich as gently caress and *letting* Caesars make him richer. Also, Crassus was savvy and successful - the only reason Trump didn't die Elvis-style in the 90s on his golden shitter the day before the IRS repo'ed everything he owned is that he'd conned richer and more powerful people into investing in him and his failure would humiliate them, so they propped him up.

Also the rumors about sex/human trafficking through 'model' agencies as well, etc, etc, etc.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

Funny how that is, huh? They LOVE the police when they're shooting black people, but, when they aren't helping them, "BLUE LIVES DON'T MATTER." Their hypocrisy is so blatant its hilarious. My only hope is that this:

https://twitter.com/shane_bauer/status/901910682030882816

is all the alt-right gets to see every day they try to go out.

gently caress, I mean it's even better now, sadly. Like, I really don't want to say this because it kind of makes me sick and I'm steeping on egg shells and its loving sad it needed to happen, but Charloettesville finally dropped the illusion for most centrists and now they see that those who claim to be "alt-right" or "pro-confederate" or "First amendment advocates" are Nazis. So, even those fuckers are finally seeing the hate they deserve. Like in Boston when those "free speech advocates" were surrounded by an army of people until the "free speech advocates" hid their swatiskas and ran away leaving sets of piss trails.

I think there's just something about the taboo of it. Kids like to disrespect whatever their parents value. I think Vox had an article on this recently - the taboo against Nazism somehow sexed it up. Is GBS kids or are they all 30+ like us? I don't go there often (except for the occasional threads making fun of reddit). I am hopeful that antifa can make people realize it's not funny or cool, or failing that put some teeth down some throats.
