Explain how it's hateful to point out violence, and how I'm manipulated for doing so.
You seem confused. You aren't pointing out violence, you are spreading a fallacy argument implicating millions of people. judging by your comments, you don't seem to know the difference.. or maybe you don't care. Its the same as talking to a racist who is convinced all black people are bad, they to will pull out stats to "back their claim".

I also don't think you actually know what propaganda is. You also think anyone who dares call you out must be somehow not a real person too don't you? Everyone who doesn't agree with your nonsense must just be a "Maga" and should be killed. This is why people like you are scary, who knows what you will do.

Ah, this is the gish gallop. It's a rhetoric tactic that the Nazis used to use, but is currently used by the alt right.



If you don't like the Nazi comparison, you can stop acting like a Nazi at any time. It's no longer hyperopic to compare you MAGAs to actual Nazis after you marched together size by side in Charlottesville in 2017.

It's important to set the record straight. You MAGAs are overwhelmingly the violent ones and try to gaslight us that it's antifa and BLM. The statistics and verified incidents prove this.

MAGAs are also not a race, it's a choice. The comparison and attempt to equate it is simply laughable.

There's no confusion here. You MAGAs, are objectively a violent people.

I'm acting like a Nazi by calling out your hateful behavior? You are closer to a Nazi than I could even think of being. If we were in Nazi Germany, you would be first to volunteer and you don't even understand why. Are you going to go try to find another article now? Going to post some hateful memes on reddit for likes?

You don't even understand the definition of hateful.

It isn't hateful to point out that a group (one that isn't race, ethnicity, or creed) are proven to be violent. You're just projecting and it's really obvious to anyone remotely educated.

You're acting like a Nazi because you're defending groups that behave like em. That's on you.

Wow, a series of strawman arguments is the best you can do? Well you didn't use any sort of logic to get to your conclusions, how can I expect to successfully use logic to talk to you? You're acting like a Nazi because you are taking the actions of a small group of people to define the whole, that's literally how Nazi propaganda worked. Anyone who called them out would be lumped in with whoever they didn't like.

Just a bunch of buzzwords you're using that you don't understand the meaning of.

Some people simply do not value human lives as much as others might.

I am one of them. I am 100% cool with public executions and have advocated for them for years. I support public flogging, caning and putting people into stocks for lesser offenses.

Obviously incarceration and probation aren't working. Maybe let's cut off a hand or two when we catch another looter. Maybe let's thrash a rapist in the town square in front of the entire public, and let the family of the victim be the one swinging the bamboo cane or the cat o' nine tails. Maybe let's shoot a mass shooter in the face on Pay Per View, and send a message.

If rehabilitation is not an option, making a messy display of what happens if you hurt people will be.

Fuck humans.

Honestly, if you televise them executions may serve as a deterrent to some extent.
I doubt it, televised executions where made by ISIS and the crime rate in occupied areas is far from negligible. Exposure to violence incites violence. It is a simplistic solution attempt to a complex problem that has many roots in the lack of social back structure. Crime and violent crime is lower when the population is better taken care of, not when it is most threatened of consequences.

Maybe if you have the highest incarcerated population rate in the world and still manage to be in the top 5 of OECD homicide rates it shows you that you are rather failing to deal with the causes of the problem and too focused on the punishment? 🤷 None of the bottom of the list in both lists have capital punishment, aside Japan, and all have a strong social state backbone.

Really? and you call yourself libertarian? How does your idea of liberty reconcile with surrending to a state, whose authority you largely don't recognise, literal power over life and death, like a God-Pharaoh of Egypy?

Yea....
https://www.snopes.com/news/2017/08/17/are-antifa-and-the-alt-right-equally-violent/

This is just for starters because I'm currently working and I'll have a lot more sources to back my claim, but right wing extremists (MAGAs) have been responsible for 74% of extremist violence in the US for the past few years. Left wingers are responsible for 2% and the remaining 24% are apolitical.

The right is often quick to pin the apolitical extremist violence as left wing but even if it all were, the statistics are overwhelmingly against them.

To say I'm the dangerous one for pointing out who is violent is simply laughable and ridiculous.
Yea.... Because snopes is a reliable:wtf: source for fact checking......

And while we throw mud.... Wasn't it the "Educated" People that carried out of the heinous stuff? I do remember seeing pictures of the well off and "Of educated minds" that sat back and laughed as the "Dirty" jews were beaten in the streets....

Do you read any others, though?

I try to read them all. MSNBC, CNN, ABC, Fox News, NPR, The Hill, Talking Points USA, The Daily Wire, The Young Turks.

All of them. No bullshit. I grit my teeth and get pissed off when I am reading leftist bullshit (I would happily fistfight any of the Young Turks in public and catch any charge they wanted to file against me), and either cheer or cringe when I am reading right-leaning crap. But I want to get it from everywhere I can, so I can make up my own mind.

Do you only read that source, because you believe it to be more unfiltered, or do you get your news from multiple sources?

I come across others like WSJ, MSNBC, NYT but only have the NPR app installed. There's no reason to really use multiple news sources of your primary one is reliable.

NPR tends to be a little slower to report though.

I disagree. I think it's important to see what the opposing side is being fed. It's important to know the strategy and the mechanics of the other side as much as possible.

I don't read multiple sources because I think most of them are truthful; most are not. I read them to see what OTHER people are reading and being informed by. And it sucks. Try it, knowing that it sucks. You WILL get pissed off.

BUT, you will be able to see what the other side is being fed by their chosen media outlet. That's just as important as being informed, yourself.

    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
