Waiting until the end of the article to point out it wasn’t a blind study is kinda annoying tbh

If it does then that means political accountability is impossible.

All you’re saying here is you have no interest in actually critically thinking and analyzing people’s actions, instead just taking them explicitly at their word. Which is just gullibility. Do you think you’d feel threatened if someone was posting pictures of you being hung? What if the poster had a history of making statements that they thought you were evil or a threat to the country?

The sheer irony of that last paragraph is funny. You’re the one talking past me and ignoring things I say that are inconvenient. Until I force you to face it.

Since you missed it I’ll repeat myself.

“What is so hard to understand, they advertised their desire for political murder to their constituents. It wasn’t “just an ornament” in private. They made a public statement advocating murder by displaying it.”

Words are wind, your actions show you bending over backwards to excuse this. Also the narrative that all politicians deserve a noose is what authoritarians push to keep their citizens from trying to fix things. There’s tons of money in reinforcing political apathy, because any person they convince to abandon the process is one less voice they have to care about come election season.

It’s a very terminally online take hyper focused on federal government. You think your local comptroller should be strung up? The irony of you calling me a political hack when your political philosophy is devoid of any nuance.

What is so hard to understand, they advertised their desire for political murder to their constituents. It wasn’t “just an ornament” in private. They made a public statement by displaying it.

Why do republican sycophants insist on removing all context from this stuff? Bending over backwards to present it in a favorable way is so slimy and manipulative.

No one is stopping them. Nexus admins just don’t want them jacking it to that shit on their website

That’s great news!

I definitely felt something like this was coming with all the corporate bs getting inserted into ZP. Really excited to see where they go next though I am a bit sad they probably can’t use the ZP aesthetic going forward.

Check him out on twitch starting November 4th. He just left Facebook and will be moving back to twitch then for the foreseeable future.

I haven’t been interested in playing vanilla Skyrim since 2011. I still fuck around with mods every year or so. The game is somehow incredibly simplistic while also super clunky and every character has one of four voices.

Mods are the only reason Skyrim stood the test of time so far because my position is very popular.

That’s such a cool project!

The people at the top. The religion in question is patriarchal but the mechanism it works on doesn’t require a certain gender identity to work.

Ok so no government has ever governed through consent in that respect so I’m not sure why that’s an important issue to bring up. No one consents to be ruled by a government, you’re just born into it in most cases and in others the one you initially didn’t consent to got replaced by yet another that wasn’t consented to.

You really are glossing over the fact that referring to a 2000 year empire as blanket conservative is ignorant and ahistorical. They were multicultural and, with glaring exceptions, tolerated alternative religions far more than most geopolitical entities through history. It’s a vast history with varying governments, both with progressive ideas for the time and regressive backslides.

Watering it down to boilerplate 21st century political terminology shows a lack of intellectual rigor in understanding this issue so I don’t think this conversation needs to continue. I wish you well.

My point is that they were also the in group. It’s very much a flawed perspective, referring to the whole empire as conservative makes it clear.

I mean given that there were Roman emperors that hailed from almost every territory in the empire I don’t think your understanding of Romans is very accurate.

After 212AD if you were a free man and lived in the empire then you were a Roman citizen. There was also a surprising degree of religious freedom in the empire as well.

Using modern political group labels for antiquity is silly.

Roman Empire was multicultural with emperors from Spain, North Africa, the Balkan’s, Syria, and others. The modern Roman obsession is all about the optics that fascists have wrapped it up in, not actual history. They were even surprisingly religiously tolerant.

They’re not actually trying to go back to that, they only want the worst traits of the empire.

The term “ungood” also lets you talk about bad things but that doesn’t make it not newspeak. The corporate sanitizing and infantilizing of speech is not a good thing. It’s not the teen’s problem though, it’s the corporations and their desire for a sanitized public square they can plaster ads over.

The kids are creating corporate influenced newspeak that infantilizes serious topics instead of moving to a platform without censorship. Teen slang is great when it comes up naturally instead of because advertisers want to sanitize our thoughts so we only think about consuming products.

Sticking your head in the sand will do that. Nothing will actually change but it’ll feel like it’s not there.
