Maybe we need a conservative RPG company using 3.5. Seems the left is good at rising to the top of the corporate world while trying to abolish it! Back in the 1980s, I never would have envisioned corporate communism and billionaire bolsheviks. They sound like oxymoron to me! We live in age of oxymoron, the people who should be supporting capitalism because they are so successful at it are opposing it!

I think it's more about taking away the ladder so others can't climb it and moral grand standing sprinkled wit the erroneous thought that if they appease the monster well enough it won't eat them.

What monster? The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, I remember it, we live in a capitalist world, I'm surprised that successful capitalists would want to bring back something that failed so miserably! The system created them and they want to go to 5-year plans, duh I've never seen so many stupid billionaires in my life! George Soros knows how to play the markets and make billions yet wants to set up a socialist system where you can't do that, he wants to set up a Brezhnev era Soviet style system where incompetent autocrats can rule and tell all the smarter people below them what to do or else go to jail!

I once knew a guy in Oslo that was, we'll say very anti-capitalist. Almost violently so. And yet he owned and operated no fewer than four business throughout the city. One of the most baffling human beings I'd ever met.

The online mob, the IRL mob, the media, "academia" and left politicians, THAT monster.

Yeah puzzling, these guys like to be online, they favor the Soviet system of government, yet the Soviets failed to make many personal computers, they didn't want their citizens online and communicating with the rest of the World outside of Soviet censors and propaganda. The internet was supposed to be about freedom, and instead some of the people on it are hankering for the old Soviet system of state controls, a failed system. And they want for follow in the footsteps of the USSR and end up in the same place that Russia is now, a weak shadow of its former self. I'll never understand why people want to be like Russia, yet they don't want to go their and experience it for themselves. They want to turn the United States into Russia instead of going to Russia. They don't have to subvert an entire country if they just go to Russia, all they have to do is learn to speak Russian and they can wallow in the misery that is Russia. Why do leftists come to the United States when they really want Russia? Einstein came to the United States and he was a socialist, was he lost of something?

That was because it was stupid Russian Socialism, not Woke American Socialism which will be 100 times betterer with bread lines for everyone!

I have never been so glad to find a website as I was this one.  

Fantastic.  Really nice to see dissenting opinion (non-woke bullshit) have equal footing.

I am am a refugee from other forums.  Glad to see there is real freedom of discussion here.  Keep up the coolness.

Americans aren't so special, we just had a more fortunate history than some other countries like Russia. Russia should have been a great country, they had everything going for them, the German Kaiser was afraid of them, that is why he started World War I, but then the Russians had to try communism and it ruined their country!

Well yes, both you and I realise that.

But the Wokesters think that the only reason that it failed was because it was not done correctly.  I like the old saying:

Communist: You can not make an omelet without cracking a few eggs.

Everybody: So where is the omelet?

For a couple years when I was young I was educated in a charter school. I remember my teacher discussing Communism with the class and explaining that it had never really been tried before and was a viable form of government.

Quote from: SavageSchemer;1135854So the real problem is that they're all from the Pacific northwest...

You may be on to something!!!

If this has already been posted, my apologies.

I thought others might find this interesting.  Much of the turmoil lately has been based on critical race theory which is simply philosophical opinion.  As to data related to racism and D&D there are other dissenting opinions.

Enjoy.

So in other words, they have a learning disability, they cannot learn from the over one hundred years of experiments on socialism and communism, they are like mad scientists in white lab coats looking for human subjects to try their latest experiments on. The biggest challenge is to keep the USSR dead and not undead, no more commie zombies!
