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 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.

  The one issue with saying we can provide areas for high risk people... Well what happens when it is determined that anyone who does not get the vax is high risk?  I think slippery slopes are...slippery.

It's not going to work! In theory, banning the unvaxxed from public venues would funnel everyone down that one path. Doubt this is going to work though. Would be much easier to put the vaxx on mosquitoes and let nature run its course.

Sounds like the premise of a zombie apocalypse flick.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Governments should be giving out free leafy green vegetables, gym passes, and ivermectin. The first two would pay for themselves easily in reduced medical costs, and the latter would actually stop transmission (something the "vax" is demonstrated not to do).

Thus articulating one of my nightmares about this mRNA technology.  Really easy to get rid of "undesirables" this way.

Well, there are far worst things than that scenario which are bound to unfold with a degree of certainty. If this pandemic keeps raging for another five years, even big corp won't keep up. The scarcity of jobs will be far too great to keep society moving. Third world might few like a luxury in the next 10 years.

The pandemic certainly isn't causing the severe damage to the economy. It's the lockdowns and the government intervention, including the nightmarish fear-mongering that you've bought into. If they keep destroying businesses and bribing people not to work, then your dire warnings may be true. But there's a simple solution: Don't do it.

Right, because a virus with a 99.97% survival rate for folks under 60 will create a mass shortage of employees.  The innumeracy amongst the Branch Covidians is staggering...

That's how '08 recession came to be. Constantly ignoring the signs, lack of communication, and lack of preemptiveness. Right now Covid is transitioning from old to young, many not all, with preexistente health problems. When you look at the signs what does that tell you? I'm sure ignoring wouldn't be the first thing that comes to mind, would it? Sure liberals are capitalizing on it to push forward their agenda, without a doubt. However, that does not invalidate the danger associated with further mutations of the virus. Science remains apolitical, no matter how hard they try.

No, it's not transitioning from the old to the young. And no, that's not what happened in 2008. And no, the people you're referring to as liberals aren't liberals. And no, science can become very political, unless you believe studies funded by tobacco companies truly showed that cigarettes are harmless.

And I fail to see what any of that has to do with the topic at hand. Your post is just a random assortment of mostly unrelated false statements.

Soon you'll say Covid never happened, never was a thing, and the millions of deaths were merely placebo and power of the mind. This oblivious mentality is reckless! How many years since you interacted with the outside world!? That's the mentality that pushes liberals to promote nonsense like the title implies.

I will? Okay, two can play that game.

Soon you'll say that the Moon landing was fake, that lizard people control the government, and that you want to fuck an elephant. This perverted mentality is insane. How many years since you left your mom's basement or took a bath? This is the behavior that drives people want to bring out a bulldozer to knock down your external wall, a forklift to remove you from your crusty bed, and a ladder truck loaded with soapy water to cleanse the environmental disaster caused by a complete lack of personal hygiene.

Though no liberal would ever supporting imprisoning people because of an individual's personal medical decisions. "Liberal" is derived from liberty, and liberals support all the things you oppose, like natural rights, the free market, and the primacy of the individual.
