The Politics Megathread

[M0NST3R]

I'm probably going to say something unpopular but I think extremely long running series like DBZ, One Piece, Fairy Tale, and Naruto are particularly good faces for anime to try and get folks in the door.

I'm not saying those series are bad, but when you have that massive of a series I think you can make a lot of folks feel like it's going to be nothing but a massive time sink. Especially if a series is known for having entire seasons of filler (Looking at you DBZ, Naruto).

What did he mean by this?

@bigtiddyoneesan
It means he modded some of my comments.

 

[Kaldrak]

And you accused me of trying to derail this shitshow. Hah!

@bigtiddyoneesan
We have reached a point in this discussion where we've ran out of things to talk about, and, as the weebs and nerds we are, we've decide to circlejerk back to our roots, those being our childhood memories of the cartoons we used to watch, as well as our hobbies which often are videogames and manga. This resulted in political discussion becoming meaningless and the shitposters started to shitpost. BD8, amazed by this development and the fact that Z, the OP, has retired, is in a state of confusion as to what to do.

Or, you know, this is fucking bonkers ma dude.

TL;DR Return to Monke.


Also, rice is meh. DBZ is the taco of anime.

I'm not seeing any modded ones from less than five days ago, so I'm guessing they were from before then.

@bigtiddyoneesan
@ezweeb and I were going at it with some TASTEFUL Carlos shitposting and then I made an ICE joke. Those got removed.

That kicked off the Magic School Bus shitposting and the rest is On The Right Side Of History.

the shitposters started to shitpost

Poooooooo peeeee pooooo poooooo peeee peeee pooooooooooooooo

i mean, your a little early to say this because the childhood postings only started like 1-2 pages back there was alot of debate before that. heck the reason i joined the thread is because it looked like a real discussion before the lefty spammer started ignoring other peoples replies and just posting inconsistent nonsense so they started to ignore him and start memeing

 

[wowfucktron]

So, uh, Google, was this active searching or was it part of your well known and obvious search results fuckery?
Or was this also a part of how you also shove this stuff down people's throats all the time?
I wanna know, because this appears an awful lot like, wait for it, affirmative action.

Google is implying black people cannot be successful without Google's help or without ALL OF SOCIETY forcing/shoving black people down everyone's throats and perpetually propping them up artificially.
And people like 2spirit call me racist.

Anyone who is a black American want to chime in on this?

wrong, this is blatent segregation. back in the 1950's there would be signs up to warn white people of black owned businesses now there are signs up to ward people away from white owned ones. its the same logic: racist then, racist now. the democratic party have never changed the way they think just the tactics they implement

I mean...*looks back over the last couple pages* Kay. Whatever you say mr. totally not racist at all dude. 😅

Dwarf fortress politics? I had one noble who kept requesting for adamantine shit and evtually ended up with me having to break open heck and watch demons consume everyone just because some idiot wanted more adamantine.

Just because justice was denied in the impeachment doesn't mean Trump has gotten away with anything.

>The democrats were caught literally fabricating evidence at the Impeachment
>There is literally no evidence to suggest Trump facilitated any of the riots or did anything illegal on the 6th
>All you had to do was watch the damn trial to come to this conclusion

One of the things that make me furiously upset is when people don't care about the truth, and yet they, without evidence, use the truth as to seek justice or morality and think everyone who is opposed to what they want is innately morally wrong.

Any non-biased assessment of what happened on the 6th would vindicate that Trump had nothing to do with aiding or facilitating what happened. Granted, him being acquitted doesn't prove it, but the fact the majority of senators voted to convict shows that our political system does not favor what is correct over what is politically expedient. All these attempts to try and politically assassinate a man who is now a private citizen makes my skin crawl and makes me fearful of anyone who dares to stand up to the political orthodoxy in the future.

This is Dwarven Politics in a nutshell

@tamerlane

Gee...it’s almost like senators will do whatever it takes to not be recalled, even lie through their teeth 24/7 and do whatever the media and corporations tell them to do simply because they are nothing more than corporate puppets...

Why are you surprised by this? It’s now political suicide to side with Trump.

 

[Tamerlane]

Yet it's also political suicide not to side with Trump because he's reforging the republican party after his own image @wowfucktron

It's almost like we need people with principles in charge instead of empty midwits who just choose everything along party lines

Citation needed. You make the claim, you provide the evidence.

There is literally no evidence to suggest Trump facilitated any of the riots or did anything illegal on the 6th

Stood in front of a giant crowd of angry people and told them to go march on the capitol and fight, multiple times. Protected political speech? Maybe. Dumbfuck thing to do in front of a giant angry crowd? Absofuckinglutely. Legality and illegality are for the lawyers and judges to figure out. Only a mindfuckingly stupid moron like Trump would think that saying those things in front of a pissed off crowd of his supporters wouldn't result in them going straight over there and rioting like they did, and that's if and only if you are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in the first place and assume he wasn't deliberately trying to stir them up. Guiliani's little 'trial by combat' shtick certainly wasn't helping matters either.

but the fact the majority of senators voted to convict shows that our political system does not favor what is correct over what is politically expedient. All these attempts to try and politically assassinate a man who is now a private citizen makes my skin crawl and makes me fearful of anyone who dares to stand up to the political orthodoxy in the future.

Stunningly backwards take, lol. About what I'd expect though. The Republicans pulled this bullshit twice, where they decided the verdict before the trial even started. And in your world the democrats are the problem?

Hah. Hah. Hah.
