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.

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.

She has been thrown out of the university apparently. Also "the mental health  care field is compromised by social justice ideology"

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j1cUwZcuVjM

She received a whopping 500 views and 14 likes. I mean, I think the inspires a lot of people and all. The problem with exposés is, the person bringing the message forth normally doesn't encounter the support they would expect. This is where wokeness gets the upper hand. Since that pat in the back is mandatory for them, their morale remains unchanged.

Yes, please share this with others. I think this is far more important than the credit it gets. Seriously, there are mental health counselors who are being taught to think that their job is to convert patients to their ideology. And I suspect that this is more widespread.

Elon Musk is now the official owner of Twitter.

CEO Parag Agrawal is out. CFO Ned Segal is out. Chief Political Officer Legal Counsel Vijaya Gadde is out.

And proving the man has an absurdist sense of humor, he posted a tweet, 'I am now entering Twitter HQ. Let that sink in' with a video clip of him walking into Twitter HQ... carrying a sink.

Buy popcorn. This is gonna be good.

Oh, you know I'm watching....popcorn and soda at hand.

But, I'm curious, since I don't use twatter, how has the sjw rpg crowd taken the news? Are they reeeeeeing? Or are they cool with Musk and the droves that he will fire/cause to leave?

At 160 likes and climbing, still needs to go viral.  People need to be warned that vulnerable patients are being systematically victimized.

Hey I suggested people submit it to Drudge Report (a site which gets 26,501,283 views PER DAY) and was laughed at by Pundit claiming I was posting from 2005. So OK here we are, talking about it on this site with what, 100 views a day to this thread?

Dude, this IS the narrative on Drudge. You will routinely find anti-SJW articles there. Shoot, I'd say easily a third of the links people post here can be found on Drudge.

Mist... maybe you didn't notice it which would explain but in case you haven't. you are trying to convince someone who self-identifies as a theocratic fascist to understand or even acknowledge something with reasoning that's more complicated than GOD GUD WOKE BAD, it's not going to work out, their brain has already completely rotted away.

You'd LITERALLY have an easier time convincing them that the Jewish media ghouls are teaming up with ANTIFER to personally come to steal their precious (half tin) silver stack TONIGHT and that they need to go on sleep strike to stay awake so as to fend off the cadre of queer FBI deepstate agents that Hunter Biden is sending after him.

Drudge being a solid middle-of-the-road linkshare website isn't something they know or even care about because it isn't exclusively a reactionary far-right echo chamber.

Nice little bit of anti-Semitism you got going on there. Typical woke.

All the smart and cool conservatives ditched DrudgeReport six years ago when he/they started posting Russia Russia Russia collusion articles as top news in RED with sirens all the time.   Drudge is persona non-grata in conservative circles for the constant stream of fake news.  We have at least five useful sites that replaced it that aggregate news.   

Send the links to Tucker Carlson, Jordan Peterson, or The Daily Wire to get eyes on it.

Please don't tell them.  As it is now, the "Hello, fellow right-wingers" types are incredibly easy to spot as it is (if you haven't pegged Mistwell in the first three posts, you're not paying attention), because, of course, every right-winger declares their conservative bona fides while using all of the arguments, premises, and rationales of the left.  But the appeals to the media stereotypes (Qanon, Drudge, etc.) just makes it downright funny...

I disagree about your dismissal of the people here. We clash all the time here of course, and I am much further left than most people here as a centrist. But that doesn't make the people here rotted brain tyrants. Nor have I found antisemitism to be at all popular here. Maybe stick around and you will find that it's a rowdy crowd with strong opinions and sometimes incredibly frustrating views, but well worth talking to. If nothing else, to get insight into how people different than you think about the world.

Except Kiero. That dude is an idiot.

I've read Drudge on a near daily basis since around the Monica Lewinsky scandal. You can like it, or not like it, but it surely isn't me being not genuine. And yes, talk radio absolutely continues to take their cues from Drudge and they do still get massive clicks every day.

The problem with Drudge is not that he's a bad news aggregator, but that when Trump ran he immediately requested the MSM to surgically remove his spine so he could become a Never-Trumper and continue to hang out with the NeoCon cool crowd. Whenever Mr. T comes up, Drudge's utility goes out the window. These days he isn't that bad, but he restricts himself to things which are kinda obvious, and even then you do need to take his choices of links with major grains of salt on some topics. Come 2024 he will almost certainly be useless again, regardless of if the nominee is Trump or DeSantis or someone else. He will absolutely start buying into the MSM manufactured scandal of the week.

Useless? No. But a reminder that everyone is wrong on something. You have to ask yourself what they're wrong on rather than trusting anything.
