Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

If you are going to go through the effort of needing to label everyone and everything to function it would at least be wise, or appropriate, to call them what they are and understand their identity, motives, goals and preoccupations. These are all fairly distinct factions as we have discussed previously and without a doubt while there is overlap, people are more complicated than just "Nazi"; tossing the word around has made it meaningless. I understand this to be a joke, or at least that is how I view it, but if taken seriously at all this is why there is such a massive divide in political functioning.

What does this sabertooth mean by that? Well, I mean that this is the difference between the "Alt-Right", the "Alt-Right", "Trumplicans", "Republicans" and the like. This principal and understanding works in reverse as well, that not all "Bernie Bros" are "Democrats", of whom do not all pledge allegiance to "Antifa" or the "Black Lives Matter" movement. There is overlap in many of these, but calling all of the right "Nazis" is the same insanity and stupidity as labelling all of the left "Communists".

When everyone who disagrees with you is a "Nazi" then no one is a Nazi. This is to ignore the misapplication of the term of course as well. Yet what I mean specifically is that it is a cliché, a meme, a joke. Calling one a Nazi now is about as potent as using the term "cuck" other than in memedom; no one will take the accusing member seriously and they honestly should not.

We hear about how "Nazis openly had a march." but people here have even dispelled that; it isn't news or special. They have been doing it for a time. What made this past event different? That there were "more" of them? That is only partially true as you had so many different factions together, those "both sides" to blame, there are only a few ways to identify those who are Nazis as authentic Neo-Nazis. I might add too that a fair number of these people were fakes, enough to have pictures of them taken and in some cases, proven to be paid protestors and actors.

Was it that someone died at a "Nazi" rally when a car drove into a crowd? People should read some of the reports on it. I am confident the issue that led to that death was not "Nazis murdering people." but a failure of control in the chaos. But I digress.

Instead of doubling down on policies of identity politics, like claiming the Nazis are somehow "stronger than ever" and that the "Alt-Right" is some major threat, the time wasted could have been better spent on finding a message that actually attracts the people of the United States. With all honesty, I would like to hear and see an actual Nazi who has legitimate power, authority and influence here; these cries of "fascism" and "racism" are little more than feigned tears from misguided people. I say this because no such person exists in any role of actual authority.

Why not, instead of playing the social justice game trying to win one's self more oppression points to strut about as a peacock, focus on Stephen Paddock? Harvey Weinstein? Imran Awan? Debbie Wasserman Schultz? Scott Weiner? Seth Rich? James Demore? And countless others?

So-called "Nazis" are the least of our issues.

Does being called a Nazi count? By today's standards that is supposed to mean something, @Kratesis. As for our actual professed and implied communists, I have not seen them here in a great amount of time. They disappeared some months back, I believe their domain is largely in Spam however.

They cannot be too much worse than what we have seen here before, @Silver Carrot. From a cursory overview this is fairly tame, at least by the Guild's standards and those in general I might add further. Here at least you should be free to express them, provided you do not personally attack people and stick to only arguing their opinions. Before it went without saying too, but as of somewhat recent times, it needs be brought up you are also held to Roleplayer Guild's rules given that is the host.

Whatever somewhat political topic you wish, @Silver Carrot. We tend not to stay to any topic more than a page or two here. Usually we say what we have to say then some other topic arises; debates or discussions are hardly official.

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

If you believe the current topic to be very political, like @Dynamo Frokane implied, it goes far, far deeper from there down the rabbit hole. Come to reminisce about it for a moment, I believe we have covered the majority of topics. Not to say they are ever open and shut cases, nothing is with politics.

If you wish to throw your lot in, feel free to do so, @Silver Carrot, @TheEvanCat.

@Penny, it is not the duty of anyone to memorize a lexicon of evolving, fabricated and fantastic terms just to entertain a handful of people who feel somehow "oppressed" that they were misidentified. They can learn to deal with "microagressions" like the rest of the population.

If the documents or record states someone is a "Mister" and they are summoned or addressed as such, they can get over their egos of whatever they identify as, @POOHEAD189. If they request it, certainly a person should feel out of their own kindness to entertain that, but should be under virtually no contract to carry out on it, especially under legal threat. At most that should be a work place policy where the facility is held responsible for breaches in bearing by their staff.

This is of course ignoring the fact that knowingly infection someone with a disease is more than just a mere misdemeanor.

Frokane's Mildly Politcal Hangout Thread

Doubtful, @Penny,this nonsensical approach is the exact reason they keep sliding down the aforementioned slope. Pretending this is somehow "expected" and even "enforceable" behavior is a waste of time and little more than a gesture to appease a very limited number of people at the cost of many others. Only more incentive to ignore California and anyone who follows its cult of "progress".

At this rate medical staff will be forced to refer to patients in they way they want to be refereed to. I don't know if I can function in a world where I have to refer to a patient as Mr Smith, rather than Johnny Organ-donor. Sad.

@Penny

If any staff are not treating patients by their documentation, then perhaps they should not be in the industry. Another example being if one is a "Mrs. Smith", they can get over being momentarily "offended" by it until it is changed in the registry. Further errors from there are either just disrespect by the provider, regardless of direction - a disciplinary issue - or realistically accidental; addressing a masculine person as "sir" unintentionally. No need to invent some fantasy law to entertain the few who care.

But asking people to behave as though they were adults and to get over being addressed with the wrong pronoun, particularly these invented ones, is too much to ask. Let us invent legislation to "protect" these poor people and their truly terrible "suffering".

So this is apparently real. We have reached levels of liberalism previously thought to be impossible.

@mdk

California was once a beautiful state, unfortunate it has been tarnished so by its people. There were few reasons before over the past years to frequent it, let alone live there, and this only adds to the reason to avoid it. Only things of value left there for myself are some of my associates and then of course La Brea.
