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.
The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

Yup. Fauci was a fucking liar.

Sadly, I doubt he'll ever face repercussions.

  His bad calls destroyed people's lives.  I have a feeling he may have had an effect on some nut on the edge of going postal.  Perhaps they will go postal on him.
And then he'd be a martyr, and it would be an excuse to take away more basic rights.

  So?   There would be a direct consequence for him, and if nothing else, I think a summer of riots and violence should teach Americans that violence does work.

Keep in mind that the violence of 2020 was aided and abetted by government institutions.

We've seen how the mandarins react to 'unapproved' protests, after all.

You make it sound like that crap is going to work again...we're at the point now that either politicians get into their fucking lanes or bullets will start flying. And that isn't just hyperbole; where I live anyone with a brain is ready to do whatever it takes to oust tyranny.

Doesn't matter if they all get haircuts at Chez Guillotine.  "Just a little off the top good sir!"

There is that, yes.

After the first felony, the rest are free.

Until it doesn't.

Playing with the switch labeled 'off' and 'shoot fucking everyone' strikes me as a poor decision. But hey, I could be wrong.

I'm sure the British thought the colonists would just lie down and take it too -- until they didn't.

Look, the little bitch is back to praising those that would take up arms against their fellows. What a pathetic piece of shit Brad is.

We may not need guns, in any case.

Nothing gets people's attention quite like threatening their bottom line.

I don't know about what your moral relatavism line is, but I don't really consider people who...

1. Denied medical treatment for political reasons.
2. Lied about and suppressed scientific data.
3. Demanded injection compliance for an Emergency Use treatment while denying people the 'right to try' other medications.
4. Allowed political and other non-medical organizations to dictate health policy to the CDC.

...to be my 'fellows'.  I thought that kind of garbage was brought up and settled at Nuremberg.

This is about as well thought and likely to succeed as the Hong Kong protests of last year and the year before. What happened to the brave resistance? Oh, right. They're all dead or in jail. Exactly as everyone with any common sense predicted.

Most people don't even seem to realize that the "protests" of last year were violent riots that involved attacks on 150 federal buildings, more than 30 deaths, and billions of dollars in damage. Only the January 6th "insurrection" matters. The propaganda war is well and thoroughly lost. Hoping for some mass uprising is underpants gnome thinking.

Did you actually read what I wrote? A lot of us are done with this whole "comfort over liberty" bullshit. You're in for a rude awakening.

And I can see by your subsequent posts in this thread what you really think...would you have been one of the dudes looking the other way when the Nazis were rounding up the Jews?
