This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

One strange thing in the article is the author's amazement that his goes on throughout the left.  The one line is that "Zac is not a fascist.  The accusations are false.  As evidence, he was arrested for attending a BLM protes tin 2020."  Protesting at BLM doesn't exclude someone as a fascist.  BLM, inc. is full of people of that mindset.

Thank you so much for preserving the audio.  When I see something I think it's important, I archive it in case a situation like this arises.

   Did you miss the part at the start where the writer says she understands "why right-wingers want to hurt diverse groups of creative people," but "[does] not have a handle on why diverse groups of creative people hurt each other."?

I saw.  Yeah.  That baffles me, because the people who are upset about a black character in the Star Wars universe, as she says, has got to be so minuscule that it's insignificant.  The leftists that baffle her are pervasive.

   I think it comes from the same place--a Manichean, universalizing approach that assumes all on the other side are embodiments of foulness, while all those who share the author's beliefs on some points are spotless children of light in all regards.

Audio clips are here, and they were posted less than 13 hours ago. I'm trying to get a timeframe as to when they were deleted.

Bless you, Becami Cusack.

I guess? Like all other Zakolytes they have me blocked.

There are several things weird about this article...

And it keeps getting weirder, because if you look at the author's profile on medium you'll find they're being followed by only two people, one of whom is 'erik tenkar'.

Either it's legit and it's worth preserving or it's a fraud in which case the evidence is worth preserving.  Either way, I'm glad it was recorded somewhere.  Unless in my naivete I misses something.

Interesting, thanks for the link.

Out of curiosity, may I ask who are you? I noticed you only have 3 posts, all about this.

This whole thing is very weird (but I haven't finished reading it).

How exhausting these people seem.  ::) How others have the energy to work with them professionally, let alone incestuously travel similar off-work social circles, is beyond me. 

I believe nothing of these things beyond that demi-monde being tiresome.  8) Extraordinary claims, extraordinary evidence, formal legal procedure to chastise actionable wrong-doing. Beyond that...  ::) ::) ::)

I found the article interesting on the psychology of the prime movers. Their determination to destroy Zak's life through concocted false allegations because they don't like his 'tone'. Which seems to mean his insistence on logic and facts over emotional reasoning.

One thing reading the whole thing did is make me wary of believing even seemingly neutral factual statements about someone.

There's that saying of Lincoln's that to have the true measure of a person, give them power.  And just look at how these people behaved once they had the barest sliver of it.  The moment they could step on someone else's face, they did.

QuoteOnce, off the hump of Brazil, I saw the ocean so darkened with blood it was black, and the sun fainting away over the lip of the sky. We'd put in at Fortaleza, and a few of us had lines out for a bit o' idle fishin'. It was me had the first strike. A shark, it was. Then there was another, and another shark again... 'till all about, the sea was made of sharks, and more sharks, still, and no water at all. My shark had torn himself from the hook, and the scent, or maybe the stain, it was, and him bleeding his life away drove the rest of them mad. Then the beasts to to eatin' each other. In their frenzy, they ate at themselves. You could feel the lust of murder like a wind stinging your eyes, and you could smell the death, reeking up out of the sea. I never saw anything worse... until this little picnic tonight. And you know, there wasn't one of them sharks in the whole crazy pack that survived.

Orson Welles' shark monologue from The Lady From Shanghai (which is an excellent movie even in its butchered state) still goes hard.
