Good video, and a good central point. I've noticed that SJW mind control is far weaker than it used to be. I remember back in 2006 when the journalist Peter Hitchens interviewed me about 'cultural Marxism', I still had a really strong 'cringe reflex', as if the (soon to be called) SJWs somehow held the moral high ground. Relativey few people on the centre-right still have that reflex I think. The first pushback started 2011-12 with their over-reach around the Obama re-election campaign, and came to fruition in 2016. The SJWs may still occupy most of the physical commanding heights - they still control our society's major power centres - but they have lost any claim to the moral high ground amongst the general population.

yup, apparently white nationalism, concentration camps and boasting of rape are now fine with the general population.

You go, girl.

Quote from: Taggie;1132225well gee, I guess I owe a bunch of rampaging thieves, rapists and paedophiles thanks then.

Yup. A bunch of pedophiles, rapists, and thieves and your only in the position to judge because they did it. This includes every human ever everywhere. Natives or Colonizers all humans pretty much are bastards.
But they are bastards in a bastard world of cruelty. Anybody who says otherwise is a liar or is ignorant.
Through at least a level of cleverness on their part, they created a world where it's easier NOT to be a bastard. And as such I respect them for such actions.
But whatever these words are pearls before swine. You already made up your mind, and your a hero to save the world from evil and all that disagree are vile.

Its a comforting worldview, if paranoid.

Quote from: Taggie;1132041You got the terrorists wrong: the terrorists are the murderers in uniform, for to long they have killed, beaten and defiled without being held to account.  Also while I agree that DnD is multi racial, classical liberalism is not and never has been, the Founding Fathers of the US didn't regard non-whites as fully human, the British Empire was slightly better, but not much, the other European Empires and various global trade corporations of the period where not, it was by Europeans, for Europeans, and even then mostly for already wealthy families, sending out preferably second and subsequent sons to go out and find their fortune, by basically stealing it.  It was what it was, and it's not like other civilizations where any different, just less good at it.

You're trying to move this off topic. Don't do that.

Wait... what was that about? Why was Peter Hitchens interviewing you??

Quote from: Taggie;1132268I said far right, didn't mention 'american politics' politics is a spectrum and you have to asses where parties and policies sit on it in global terms, and right now America is looking as bad or worse than China, at least china isn't exporting it's oppressive violence, they are like black mirror versions of each other, with america hiding it's nature as a one party state slightly better.

Pundit makes a video about how SJW are forced to say they believe an bunch of facts that are clearly and obviously untrue .... and you think you'll refute him by stating a bunch of facts that are clearly and obviously untrue.

nope, I replied with a total and simple truth, US politics is hyper right wing, with minimal differences between the alleged parties, one is a religious corpocratic party, the other is a slightly more secular corpocratic party, no differences on things that actually matter. As to their response to being challenged: just look at he open psychotic violence ongoing by police, the mass arrests, kettling, mutilations etc, then compare with what is going on in Hong Kong (with the Chi-Coms having become a different flavor of corpocratic, Party and Military Corpocratic, perhaps, someone really needs to do a dissertation on what we can deduce of the actual power structures in that system) and you find far less arrests, fewer deaths, and fewer beatings in HK than you do in the US.  Both systems are completely fucked up, and they are looking more similar by the day.   AS to exporting it's systems, have you not been looking at the world for the past 20 years? Hell, the last century in some places (hello the Monroe doctrine), lots of lovely little psychos getting US backing for being 'anti what ever it is this month'.  The US isn't uniquely terrible, just acting like a hegemonic power, but it isn't exceptional in any way.

Quote from: Taggie;1132113The Royal Navy broke the Transatlantic slave trade, the Yongzheng Emperor ended slavery in china in the 1720s [except as a sentence for crimes] (that returned as China started to fragment in the 1800s, in part, but not in total, due to military defeats to both European powers and internal revolts by Christians [with the bloodiest war of the 19th century being the Taiping Rebellion, which was sometimes supported, sometimes not by missionaries])  Toyotomi Hideyoshi ended slavery in Japan [except as a criminal sentence] in 1590, Feodor III converted field slaves to serfs in Russia in 1679 [this is of arguable benefit, and didn't include house slaves] You can look at the Wikipedia page  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_abolition_of_slavery_and_serfdom for a serviceable timeline, Europeans did end slavery, but they also introduced it in several cases, and where not the only ones abolishing slavery during the early modern period, also especially the Atlantic Slave trade was among the, if not the, most brutal slavery of the time.

I want to be honest about our history, we were armed robbers writ large.

Of course Government is backed by the gun, just try not paying your "taxes" and see how well that goes for you.

Like Winston Churchill said "democracy is the worst form of government except in comparison to every other one"

And so, to tie this into Hypernormalisation, you have Feminists working with Fundementalist Muslims to bring down the very thing that allowed Feminists in the first place.

We need an opt-out service for 911.

Everyone with this attitude should be unable to call those "murderers in uniform". Maybe BLM will come to your rescue instead?  

Quote from: Theory of Games;1132192Well, they're taking it to Trump like never before.

The Left CAN organize. Across the globe with their allies. They're looking to make Trump look as stupid as possible right now.

And, they're winning.

So, imagine a House and Presidency owned by the Libs with only a conservative Supreme Court to reign them in.

Pundit, it can get ugly for your crew.

You might be 100% right, but we are a long way from November. Who knows what fun new disaster we'll all enjoy this summer and fall?

Also, "they're winning" has been the media's story during the Russia hoax and the Impeachment hoax and Trump's popularity went up instead.

As for this "winning", we'll see how the silent majority really feels about the riots and destruction come November. Who knows? Maybe they'll vote in Dementia JoJo? Maybe the 24/7 corporate and celebrity virtue signalling will work this time? It's quite possible.

As for "across the globe", nobody outside of the Left gives a fuck. We barely even teach geography in schools!

If the Left controls the House and Presidency, things will get ugly for everyone.

But let's remember hasn't been a TV debate yet between Trump Monster vs Sniffy Joe.

Another topic which appears to have nothing to do with D&D specifically, which is being used as a thin excuse to talk about a non-RPG political topic?

Lovely. Because this message board needs more political commentary behind a thin veil of RPGs which gets dismissed almost immediately.

Mistwell, I agree with you. However, RPGPundit feels "RPG's role in the culture war" belongs in the main forum. It's important to him and it's his website.

A few months ago, I suggested members create threads with "Thread Topic Name [No Politics]" as the title and then as OP, stomp on anyone (including and perhaps especially me) who brings real world political issues into that thread.

Please start such a thread. I'm sure there are many members who want RPG only talk and threads without any politics. And that's the beauty of theRPGsite, any member can start any kind of thread and as OP, they can go full bore shitlord on anyone who derails their thread.

1) I have never, and will never call the police, or aid them in  anyway, that I am not legally coerced into doing. 40years and counting.

2) what a shit show that will be.

This thread needs to stay on topic. The topic is my video, the D&D SWJs, or the concept of "hypernormalization".

Ok then: Having seen my local FLGS, I would say that yes, it was not a place that welcomes women, at all, creepy sweaty handsy nerds, who wont accept that a woman may actually know the rules are the majority, but then, they where the reason I stopped going, so it may have changed (doubt it tho), does that make all DnD that way? Nope, just look at who wrote the early settings, and amongst them we find Dragonlance, which while being really 80s in some of it's tropes (to which, durr it was written in the 80s) actually has female characters who manage to be, while not 3d, more than 'romance' sub plot trophies.  DnD was a product of it's time, and that time was pretty damn unpleasant.
