I don't really have an opinion about DnD vs here but I'm worried about getting banned for an honest mistake or misunderstanding. Looking at DnD, they are real strict and I see people banned in the I vs P thread for things I would have been surprised to be banned by. Is DnD the subforum for people who are more conservative?

If you post in D&D you have to follow strict posting rules set up to ensure that nobody can effectively challenge the status quo, because the people there don't want to feel uncomfortable about the world or their place in it.

I think western governments are vastly overestimating how popular assisting Israel with its crimes are. There's a Chiefs forum I've been going to for like two decades and they spun off all politics chat to a quarantine zone (because the mods got tired of every game day thread bickering about barsack o'crumbo) which I usually ignore but was morbidly curious about what they say in their I/P thread. The first response to the OP was a post that basically said "Well, what the gently caress did Israel expect? You can't push people around like that and keep them imprisoned and not expect them to fight back" and about half the posters agree with that, and it's a very chuddy politics zone and largely midwestern. They're the people who would have been 100% on board with invading Iraq. Also I was talking with my coworker who is definitely like a normie centrist kind of guy, his wife is a Jewish convert with friends in Israel. He gave the boilerplate "Israel has a right to defend itself" thing but definitely was sympathetic to Palestinians and is not on board at all with how Israel is handling this and absolutely does not the US getting involved in like a war war. I know this is all anecdotal but I think the failures of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have really taken the appetite for war out of a lot of americans. There will of course be support for all kinds of bloodthirsty poo poo but I think the lizards who run western media and government have no idea how unpopular this is going to get and how mad people are going to be about it especially if Israel starts liquidating Gaza. This isn't going to be like after 9/11 where support for "glassing the middle east' had like nearly universal support. Especially if it starts to widen and drag out beyond a few weeks.

love hearing anecdotes like this. pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.

This is just my first impression, mind you. I am open to having my mind changed but when I first got here was when the conflict started and it looked like the discussion is very strict there and that it is more conservative. I don't believe I am here to start a fight even if sometimes the news makes me mad or sad and I get emotional. I try to listen to people and treat people fairly and as I would want to be treated. I want the world to be more fair. I want the world to find peaceful common ground and for every nation to follow generally and widely accepted moral standards. I believe laws and economics should benefit the majority of people they apply to rather than respecting the property rights of a few. I don't think any country should be starting wars or invading or colonizing another.

I feel that this is an ongoing conflict that Israel fundamentally started and continues to aggravate to appease a self selected voter base of colonizing religious zealots and racists. People who don't buy into this ideology simply don't move to Israel in the first place.

D&D is the subforum for people who are more "conservative" in the sense that CSPAM split off from D&D over 2016 putting American liberalism versus American leftism in stark contrast to each other, and the liberals stayed in D&D

Fats Dominar is on the case


to me the clearest marker of the loss of control of the narrative is how panicked a lot of the consent manufacturers sound. post 9/11 there was a lot of “hell yeah let’s smash those ay-rabs.” the tone now is closer to “b-b-but you aren’t one of those ANTISEMITES who wants to DESTROY ALL JEWS, are you?!”

I've never seen them ratchet down on dissent so hard or manufacture consent on a hamfisted level about on par with the Kaiser's soldiers boiling Belgian babies.

I think there's something approaching panic, but there's not a Middle-Eastern desk here, so I can't get the hot gossip. I'm assuming things went way, way worse for the IDF than we've heard yet and DC is freaking the gently caress out about lost deterrence.

Remember that Israel didn't publish casualties from the October War until weeks later.

mila kunis posted:

There's been plenty of demonstrations, but also they're cracking down on them in the west. France just instituted a ban on support for Palestine. People are being doxxed and extremely powerful people are gloating openly about ruining people's livelihoods for speaking up. It's a pretty big escalation but also refreshing in a way that the masks are off and they're finally being honest that you should watch what you say openly, or you'll get got.

yeah whatever is going on is moving fast, maybe the west is waking up to the fact that it is, in fact, losing ww3
