RPGNet ices fascist stormtrooper

[Melan]

Dear Comrades,

We regret to inform you that comrade Sankarah has been found to be very problematic, and he was in fact not a comrade at all.





No-longer-comrade Sankarah has been disappeared for the greater good. We understand some comrades may have questions about the matter. Please understand that it was all for the greater good.





We regret to inform you Sankarah was the member of a fascist organisation known by Amnesty Internationals and the SPLC as "the US government".





You can now rejoice responsibly and thank us for keeping the forums safe.

Note that the ban isn't coming from any one mod but from the 'Forum Administrator' account. Is that account dedicated to a single person, or is it like the 'wizard' or 'buildstaff' accounts on certain MU*'s where access is restricted to the staff?


I just find that very curious. You'd think someone like Tanka would want to add that notch to his gunbelt.

I remember one of the incriminating tapes that were produced by journalists investigating ICE. They played it on the radio, warning listeners that this was disturbing material. You could hear some kids (some crying) waiting in line for help from ICE officers. The officers were clearly trying to help out though. The loudest kid finally made it to the front of the line, and asked if they could call his/her aunt. The last thing you hear is them dialing the number.


First thing I thought was that this journalist's "scoop" was a big nothing burger. What did  people expect? Disneyland?

I like to point out that for all the blather the left does about 'other countries' they are strangely silent about 'border jumping' in those countries. Namely because, well, they treat it as a crime.


My ancestors on one side of the family spent over eight months on Ellis Island, in quarantine. That was a full family -- mom, dad, and two kids. And they entered legally, openly, etc.


So my sympathy for a pack of illegal invaders tends to be a trifle low.

I notice that those who claim this is the worst repressive site ever never say the same about rpg.net. For fear of them being banned by the cool kids club.

They banned a dude because he works for ICE?

When these idiots are rotting in hell, do you think they'll realize how fucking retarded their own actions were, or will they continue to blame someone else?

LOL nope.


Remember, this is their hugbox. They kick out anyone who persists in disturbing the perfect serenity of it with such unpleasant things as 'facts'.


Frankly, the citing of the SPLC amuses me, as the SPLC spent most of the 90's and 00's flogging the 'pro-2nd Amendment activists and militias are white supremacists' despite that being a blatant untruth. I live for the day when someone drops a hellish defamation suit on their doorstep for their little games.

Right now in my state the police are fining people $1,652 for going for doughnuts at 8:04pm (curfew), arresting pregnant mums for creating Facebook event pages for peaceful protests, and the other day one stomped a guy's head in and it happened to be caught on film by a passing driver, so I am not exactly fond of the police right now.


But I wouldn't say they're inherently a criminal organisation or hate group, and they should be able to post on an rpg board, I think, in fact I'd rather they did that and got distracted and became boring shut-ins like the rest of us geeks and stopped bothering everyone else

It's better than that. They banned a long-time member of the forum for working for ICE. When the policy first became, officially, "Fuck ICE, fuck everybody who doesn't agree", they also said that they knew he worked for ICE but that personally targeting him was against the rules.


I found something else out that may add context for why he has been banned now, and not before.


2 people were banned - one for a week, one for six months, for questioning the idea that ICE was forcibly sterilizing people as an official policy. One of the bans made it clear that while not everybody in ICE was sterilizing, everybody working for ICE was working for ICE and that that alone made them evil.  This mentality creates an interesting problem - do they backtrack from the claim that every single ICE worker is evil incarnate or do they ban the one worker that works for them? Well, for a sane person, the answer would be to backtrack, but this is a coalition of thugs who get off on this. And I'm not using hyperbole - I do believe that they literally masturbate to the idea of oppressing people for wrongthink.

When these idiots are rotting in hell, do you think they'll realize how fucking retarded their own actions were, or will they continue to blame someone else?

They'll be railing against the cis-male God who put them there. Maybe that'll help distract them from the flames.

Maybe someone can convince them that they are performing pre-1st term abortions?

The SPLC has been a joke for years. I wouldn't trust them if they said the sky was above the ground.


Regarding the "forced sterilizations" Dun dun dun! Queue comparisons to Aushwitz. I'm waiting for more information. From a cursory look, it seems that they were providing medical care to people at the detention centers (consider that for a moment. Can't get a doctor in your own country? Jump the fence man. Even the cops in America will take better care of you.) And there may have been some miscommunication.
But narrative, narrative narrative. Trump be stealin' uteruses! Orange Man Bad!

ICE is the USA's first line of defense against human trafficking.

Of course, RPG.net will start banning more people based on their jobs, or perhaps even their family member's jobs. Married to a cop? Gone. Work in a gov't office in a red state? Gone. Retired from the military? Gone.

Hopefully that ICE officer will find their way over to our happy little wretched hive of scum and villainy. I wish him the best. It's a very hard job under the best of circumstances and certainly now, they're innocent targets just like cops.

Right now in my state the police are fining people $1,652 for going for doughnuts at 8:04pm (curfew), arresting pregnant mums for creating Facebook event pages for peaceful protests, and the other day one stomped a guy's head in and it happened to be caught on film by a passing driver, so I am not exactly fond of the police right now.

I saw the video of Avi Yemeni (complete with full press credentials) get taken down by cops for covering an anti-lockdown protest and now he's launched a lawsuit. I understand that mother who posted on FB about promoting an anti-lockdown protest also has a legal case being launched. Hopefully the courts will provide some justice...maybe...whenever the case is heard in the future. 

I personally never imagined such things could happen in Australia, nor that the Australian people would ever tolerate such authoritarian nonsense nor that the Aussies who are supposed to "serve & protect" are acting as thugs against their own neighbors.

Of course, Australia is just a preview for Americans of our future, but hey that's a crazy alt-right conspiracy theory.

Man, I wish I worked for ICE. The've been going after the pedo sex-trafficers with a vengeance lately. It's heroic!

Can I work for ICE?

They might be wary that you'd try to steal the evidence they've been collecting.

[Anthony Pacheco]

Imma gonna look at the ICE job board now.
