Good, then maybe you can explain what the fuck happened to your party.- cause I sure as fuck can't make sense of it.

 

Was debating with my dem friend and she brought up something scandalous the pres said and asked what I thought of it. I explained to her that someone in her party had said the exact same fucking thing over a month ago and she was like "What? I didn't see/hear that!". "Of course you didn't" I said.

 

Not trying to "red pill" anyone here. Just want people to realize that both sides are very corrupt and that if we ever want to return to some sense of normalcy, then many of the politicians on both sides of the aisle need to go.

Well, maybe you need a third side. Nothing in the middle, but a party turning the whole thing into a triangle....

Will it really be the better one? Or just the one who is better at handling a sword? Or the one with the sharper sword? The bigger gun....?

 

Sorry off Topic.
as I said, firearms is not FairPlay, nobody can defend himself here.
a sniper can kill several people from a distance without these people even knowing what killed they!

a swordsman sees his opponent face to face and there is the possibility of defense.

I just think, that civilized ppl should be able to solve their problems without any weapons at all, because if you solve your problems with weapons chances are high, that not the best solution will win. You will just end up with more swords or guns, more swordsmen or snipers and more and more problems.

Yes, it would be better if two presidents at war with each other were given a stick and themselves then beat up. ?

Where would a third party come from if not the middle? It's the centrist that feels unrepresented most of all when the other two parties become completely polarized (and more interested in their own power than any issues).

I'm thinking about adding an Up and Down to Left and Right. this will stabilize the center against the extremes.

Everyone left of me is a communist and everyone right of me is a fascist. Thus spoke the enlightened centrist.

Perhaps that assumption is the result of your own enlightenment? A joke made about there being at least two of the groups who call themselves Progressive having Communist members says nothing about anyone on any other part of any so-called Political Spectrum.

The Left-Right dichotomy is a deception for the most part made to trick dupes into justifying bad behavior by other members of their party for knee-jerk tribalist reasons.

Why not look all around you rather than simply Left, Right or Center? Do not engage in the 2-Dimensional thinking that makes the Left-Right dichotomy look like the only options in the first place.

A ruling council whose members have a diverse array of ideas and worldviews may be better still.

Probably because this isn't an actual thing. If you're progressive, you're permissive. That's literally what the fuck it means and twitter doesn't get to decide otherwise.

 

That's all very well, but your definition doesn't mean there aren't a large number of vocal commentators flying the "progressive" flag and yet still being very repressive about sex.

It's like the Horse. It's a thing you get inside of in order to get inside of another thing that might otherwise prove difficult to access. Seems fair enough to me.

Communism and fascism are not opposite things. In fact, more often than not, they go hand in hand. This is usually the case because in order to maintain the level of control needed for a true communist economy, there needs to be a hell of a lot governmental oversight and regulation, and therefore, the government must be very powerful.

 

The opposite of fascism is anarchy. Too much anarchy and you get chaos, which is why we see so much of the shit we see going on in the streets. - Antifa at its heart is an anarchist movement.

 

Centrism in and of itself is logical fallacy 101. There's no reason to think that an idea is correct simply because it is between two others.

 

At the end of the day, correct ideas are correct, whatever side they're on,

One need only look at the current state of things in China to see evidence of this. One can safely assume that they do not much care whether the methods they use come from the Left or the Right. The CCP only seems to care about what brings them the results which they seek (which maintain order and prosperity for the party).

Until we evolve/develop a lot, there will ALWAYS be somebody who are totally certain that their way is the only right way, and that any refusal of that should be met with violence to force other to do it their way, do I see that changing any time soon, no.

I came here, today, to see if there was any news about Microsoft have bought Zenimax and Bethesda, specially regards to what will happen to the mods and its community.

It looks that I came to the wrong place...

 

Unfortunately, politics and freedom have returned to be very important matters, but please, let's stay on the topic at hand.

have you ever asked yourself how Microsoft could buy Bethesda so easily?
for me there are only two reasons! 

Main reason for me is state surveillance and thus the end of all not permissible mods!

Now I wonder what "not permissible mods" is exactly as TES modding spreads fairly far

No I didnt and Im fairly afraid of that

But I wonder what exactly they are gonna do against adult modding. Everyone knows how much Havok did to stop it - in fact it was as much of a pain for SFW modders as it was for NSFW ones and NSFW content always found its way into anything thats worth mentioning, one way or another

 

Something that has me worried more though is what happens to the CE and the overall game quality. You can joke about it as much as you want but apart from the quadzillion bugs everyone loves this half finished game that Skyrim is. Gives a lot of motivation to mod it in first place. Make a proper Vampire or Werewolf overhaul, overhauling the perk system, giving followers additional interaction. If Skyrim would be a "finished game" it would be significantly smaller than it is today and when I look at what Microsoft did to Minecraft I am indeed worried what will happen to TES, not only in terms of adult modding but modding overall. Bethesda did give us a lot of freedom to do w/e we wanted. (and from what Ive seen, Minecraft under Microsofts leadership is significantly more restricting than the Java version)

There's only one thing I'm afraid of in the future!
I've already posted this several times, state surveillance of the game industry and the resulting consequences in the event of violations!
for that is certainly.

Yes, they are definitely pragmatists. Deng used to say 'What does it matter the color of the cat, as long as it catches mice'.

 

But, modern China also seems as though it came straight out of an Orwell novel. And, in general, it's a pretty shitty place to be if you're not Han Chinese or if you possess the wrong types of ideas that don't align with the interests of those in power. - Something that tends to be true of just about any place that ends up with a powerful 'one-party system'.

 

Which is why one side 'winning' is a fucking bad idea and should not be the goal of any sane society. It was the Chinese communists beating the nationalists post WW2 that set the stage for their current dystopia in the first place. - And this should be taken as a cautionary tale.

A similar disaster could be coming if one corporation or even just two corporations are allowed to create a monolithic global conglomerate. That is one reason why I can not celebrate Microsoft making yet another acquisition. Competition is good for not only the consumer but for economies as a whole.

Okay but the Trojan Horse was designed to let things out once they got inside. ?
