B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

@Dynamo Frokane

Law enforcement would be, in my own personal utopia, volunteers following simplistic rules set up by a town hall meeting. The enforcement personnel in question would do it for personal fulfillment. As I'm saying this, I realize there's no way in hell this would ever happen. I would like to live in that world, however. Please don't tear asunder my personal utopia. It's my mind's happy place when reality treats me like crap. -,-

@Vilageidiotx you knew this was coming....

Non Agression Principle

@Dynamo Frokane

Sticks and stones may impede my freedom, but since I can't regulate the commerce of sticks and stones (that'd be communist), I'm just going to roll over and look cute. If that fails, I'll accept my beating until law enforcement comes and hauls the offenders away.

Looking For Someone To Play As A God Role

I'm sorry, did somebody call for a land god? O,o

@Mistiel and like I was saying, the people that are at the forefront of the alt right (i.e. Sargon of Akkad, and supposedly Rags?

@Buddha

Rags doesn't specifically call himself alt-right. He just has one or two videos reacting to people who have CALLED him alt-right. By the way, though I've heard the name Sargon of Akkad, I've literally never cared to go check out his channel. I actually prefer watching Adam Conover and Rags because it's like watching two sides of a coin. They both make logical points (the former being more liberal and the latter being more conservative) about their respective subjects, and both usually entertain me.

__________________________________________

Sidenote: I'm a libertarian. I prefer to remain free to watch whoever I please without that labeling me. From a logical point-of-view, what I just said makes me a wishy-washy tool, but I don't care. Being a tool of a party that's not all that powerful makes me an underdog. Woof woof! :) (Sorry this second mini-paragraph was entirely off-topic, but this discussion has put me in a weird mood.)

@Vilageidiotx

You know, I really don't see many 'alt-right" sort of people DECLARING themselves as alt-right. It's been a label that the so-called "tools" from both (or just one) parties that don't particularly like them. I also don't truly understand why you brought up the creation of new political parties and why you'd equivocate that with the supposed creation of new genders. The resemblance in analogies is startling, yes, but it's quite off-topic.

<Snipped quote by Mistiel>

The only people I've seen turn the alt-right into an workable term for their movement, rather than just something for them to masturbate to how different and special they are compared to their grandparent's conservatism, is the Richard Spencer types. Soft-Nazi's and shit. The people trying to reclaim Neo-Nazism from prison gangs and conspiracy-addled mountain compounds, and introduce it into respectable society. Because in their case, they can legitimately claim to be part of something "alternative" to the traditional political movements. At least in the United States.

So at this moment, I suppose that's my personal working definition for the term. Alt Right means either a young conservative trying to announce a sort of special snowflake status because they listen to, like, Sargon of Akkad instead of Rush Limbaugh, or they are cleaned up neo-nazis caught up in the entire death of white culture meme.

@Vilageidiotx

Alt-right is not a dang movement! In the U.S.A, you either vote Republican or Democrat (or libertarian, etc. but the chances of MY preferred party ever winning a presidential election are unfortunately slim right now). Can we just agree that people who don't particularly ascribe to either of the parties in the U.S. two party system don't particularly care what percentages of each party they represent? Just let them do their own thing.

I mean, really, you're talking about the same people that made the world believe that 'trash dove' was a sign of white supremacy and who managed to make Pepe frog a recognized hate symbol. They're professional shitposters. The fact that you're trying to take them seriously is already strange to me.

@Buddha

You say they're unorganized, and then you accuse them all of being !@#!posters. The Youtube content creator Rags is basically an alt-right kind of guy and you don't see him calling random symbols racist. He has his hot button issues and he defends them with basic logic and research of accurate statistics. Please don't try to stuff all alt-right people in one box. "Alt-right" viewpoints, as we both agree, can vary greatly (even on just one issue).

What Are You Listening To?

Best driving music! ^.^

I hate the fact that the alt right has no real definitions, its impossible to sum up what the actually believe which makes them impossible to criticize or defend.

@Garattee

On the contrary, alt right people don't need a set definition for everything. They appeal to logic instead, and LOGIC and common sense dictate what they know to be true at any given time. When the facts change, so do their opinions that they formulated based on that information. Make sense?

Also, the "alt right" is just that: alternative conservatism. It just means they don't agree with EVERY facet of conservatism. They might have some liberal ideas. They might take a page out of the libertarian playbook (woot!). When a loose group of people is considered by society to be "alternative", it just means that they don't really fit the mold for any other group. There are alt liberals, alt libertarians, alt Greens, et cetera.

Camp Castaway

@LiegeLord

Lin shook her head. "No, I was asking you, hon. I'm a babe in the woods as far as your...species?...is concerned. I only heard your...master?....mention what you are a few minutes ago. To humans, "void" typically sounds really dark, ominous and, well, evil. I was just hoping to ascertain how much you and/or your kind fit...into those three categories." She was picking her words very carefully here, still managing to keep one eye trained on Kyle. It was a bit odd that he hadn't replied to her little tirade, but maybe he was treating it as water under the bridge. Lin suppressed a chuckle at the unintended humor, not wanting Neric to think HE was the one amusing her.

"But yeah," she continued, looking at Neric's avian eye region, "You're the first non-human sentient species I've ever met. I'd like to hear more about you all sometime."
