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.

There's totally not any CRT being pushed on schools it's ONLY ever taught on law school...

Quote from: Rhedyn

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”

― George Orwell

Yeah, all the cock-sucking Marxists bloviate about how "CRT isn't being taught in schools!" Yeah, it is you lying fucking Communist scumbag! It's called using TROJAN HORSES and DECEPTION you fucking morons.

That's ok though. The more lying, the more dancing, the more wormy bullshit from the fucking Marxists--the people will all know who to string the fuck up when the time comes. All of these wormy Marxist bastards won't be able to escape the rope. Our society needs to be cleansed from Marxist scum.

#1 best seller children's book on Amazon despite Amazon not allowing it to be advertised on their platform and changing the category to political.

This is a link to the one-star reviews which are amusing:

Matt Walsh is awesome! I watch his program regularly. Matt Walsh is observant, sharp, and funny. Great man, commentator, and thinker. The Liberals Reee and hate him, which is good.

This is more significant than you give it credit to it’s the first real challenge to big techs monopoly. The algorithm going open source also will expose the bias we knew was there. My eye is on the feds atm at what they will do. We know they are in bed with social media and big tech to get around 1st ammendment violations
I'm interested in seeing the algorithm go open source and be allowed to be examined.

I'd like to see how my social media feed is being manipulated.

As far as 1st amendment violations, it remains to be seen. Free speech is protected from government action, not private corporations (which is why being banned on twitter is not a 1st amendment violation). Twitter can implement whatever limitations on speech it desires now and under Musk. If Musk wants to open the flood gates, so be it. We can let the 'free market' decide. In light of the lack of popularity of other so called 'free speech' platforms... this can probably ruin Twitter as a platform.

In my opinion, the people clamouring the most about free speech are the ones whose speech is the most abhorred.

So the fuck what? No seriously so the fuck what? Free Speech is just that, Free fucking Speech. Everyone gets to say what they want. Jesus Christ this sort of thinking is the height of concern trolling.

"Oh no if we let people say what they want, they might say mean things!"

Yeah they might. That's what the block button is for.
1. Some of you culture warriors are so committed to the bit you'll throw out any nuance or common sense in fear it's 'giving in' to the other side.

2. I'm a married homeowner with a career and a child. I won life. You can't insult me.

3. I work in a Prison, your tough guy act is boring.

I just wish the education system in the US wasn’t so far behind compared to South America and Europe. And then I don’t think you can teach common sense to a ignorant person. Perhaps one is born with it? God, and the insecurity issues… The internet wasn’t around back then, so people didn’t talk half the shit they talk online today. And now the inmates are running the Asylum. Why? Poor education.

The cure for bad speech is more speech, not less. But lefties don't understand that.

Remember: Your speech is violence, to them.

I agree on the block button, though. Some people aren't worth talking to. But that's a decision by the individual, not for some nebulous 'committee' to decide.

I've no clue what you're trying to say in the context of a reply to me.

Block is indeed useful. Now, if people would just stop quoting and requoting fixable, he’d be out of my life entirely.

   The thing that makes me scratch my head, is there is a *very* obvious target for those people regarding free speech.  Right wing populism absolutely terrifies them.  They immediately equate anything right of them as nazi, and seem to think that "nazi" ideas are some zombie virus that argumentation and facts can not over come.  Extremely strange that fear IMO.   Meanwhile, a kid can see literally any sort of disgusting porn imaginable through any slip of device security you can imagine on the internet.  It seems the priorities are oddly muddled with regards to "protecting" people's minds.

They see it that way because they don't understand that they are moving further and further left - to them, it's like they are standing still and everyone else is moving further right even though it's the exact opposite.  At this point, they all need to be institutionalized for mental illness.

I agree that it probably will feel like more of a cesspool to many, but that is better than a forum in which only one political party is able to express themselves, the other side being labeled as “evil”. But yeah, you’re probably going to see more people screaming about “teh Jeeews!”. That’s just the price to pay I guess.
