An awesome statement by Everything Board Games:
www.everythingboardgames.com
"Greetings everyone,
"As you are probably aware, there are a number of false and defamatory statements that have recently cropped up. As such, we at Everything Board Games are prepared to stand our ground against lies and cyber bullying.
"Recently, a few of our volunteer reviewers demanded that Everything Board Games craft an official political statement. We declined. Unfortunately a number of them have launched what appears to be a coordinated attack and decided to involve our community. We will not stand for that either. Facebook already has rules in place that prohibit hate speech, etc. We will continue to follow the standards Facebook has set in how we moderate. We will also be removing comments meant to incite—as well as those that authored them from our group on Facebook.
"At Everything Board Games, we are committed to our core mission which is to help bring gamers and the games they’ll love together. To create a space and a community where we can hang out together and just have fun. We believe this is especially important right now as we live in a time of political and social unrest.
"In order to make this happen, Everything Board Games has chosen to refrain from getting involved or advocating certain positions in regard to politics, religion, or any other hot topics.
"This is why we have chosen not to make an official political statement.
"The other reason why we will not make such a statement is because we believe in you—our community. To make the statement those reviewers demanded would be for us to assume that there are those in our community who are hateful racist bigots. This directly contradicts the experiences we’ve had within our community.
"We at Everything Board Games are interested in just that—board games. We have no interest in virtue signaling, requiring the membership of our community to prove their moral and ideological purity, and all the other nonsense that comes with adopting that kind of mindset.
"Instead, we choose to show what we stand for—what all of us stand for in the Everything Board Games community—by how we comport ourselves.
"To those who who feel they cannot stay in a community that refuses to wade into politics and other social justice initiatives, we understand and we wish you the best.
"To everyone else, we look forward to bigger and better things in the future to come."

I've never been to that site before in my life.
I'm sure going to go give it a visit now.
This is such a breath of fresh air.

Someone actually using common sense instead of blindly virtue signaling? Is the person behind this wearing cape, spandex or both?

Canceling has been now expanded to the relatives of the wrongdoers
She is wrong though, this is America, America in which shitlibs are unbound.

its going to keep getting worse and worse until the pain of inaction is worse then the pain of action.
I'm kind of waiting to see what happens when the average American hits that line.

It only got this far because so many people got on their knees in submission to the mob, thinking that through displays of penance they could appease it.
No this isn’t America. This is a country where fucking Twitter dictates public discourse.
I’m starting to think most people are too stupid, too conformist, too sheep like to be worthy of democratic participation.
The republican experiment in government has failed .
I wouldn’t blame the left, media, or academia in total-as much as they are responsible, but for the fact that we are showing Plato right. Democracy ultimately results in this irrational behavior.
I know this might be a controversial take-but maybe the franchise should be limited.
People should only be allowed to vote if they possess certain qualifications.
Such as:
1. A certain age
2. Sufficient knowledge(not merely education credentials).
3. Proper moral character
4. Sufficient internal self respect and demonstrated disciplined resistance to both propaganda and peer pressure.
5. Among other things.
Universal suffrage combined with low knowledge and high peer pressure via platforms such as twitter make any experiment in self governance untenable.
Like, I know I come across as an elitist reactionary from another age, but hot damn large elements of the American public have shown they have absolutely no business voting, and no business expressing opinions that are clearly poisonous to the health of the nation even in their mere utterance.
The people we see here in these threads on twitter-they do not deserve the vote. The fact my vote is equal to theirs is absolutely terrifying and repulsive at the same time.
In fact, taking their vote away would improve the health and quality of our republic.
Perhaps universal suffrage was a mistake.

Person on it's own can be smart, but people are generally stupid and the bigger the mass the stupider it gets.
Firing someone for something a relative might had did or did not do is not just a liberal thing. That sort of thing has been happening since before the foundation of the country. This is not something that just cropped up.

Collectivism, things like family-based nepotism and racism are all a variant of Collectivism
Judging individuals for the actions of the masses or people within some demographic or due to being related, puts aside that individuals' characteristics

I thought maybe addressing this post might make a good thread, chime in with your experiences.
Growing up, we studied native genocide and slavery and things, but they were cast as historical evils that society had rejected as it progressed. The foundational ideas of justice, liberty, freedom, democracy, free speech, rule of law, etc were what our culture valued, and worked towards perfecting. We were a force of good in the world. I liked Western civ and would have fought for it unquestioningly if asked coming out of high school.
In first year uni, I registered for a course called General Studies for easy A. I still vividly remember opening the first chapter of one of the assigned books, I even remember the texture of the paper...there was this horrific description of a lynching of a female balck woman and the gutting of her baby, real stomach churning stuff. Then it immediately cut to present day evils, and idk why exactly, but that revulsion and cry for justice deep within me also got transferred over to the present day material. It was a rhetorical trick that worked magnificently, almost a road to damascus moment.
The course was was held in the biggest lecture auditorium on campus, and you had to get there early because there were a lot of people not registered who would come and so many stood or sat on the floor. It had a religious vibe to it, like you were getting special, almost forbidden knowledge; seeing Western civ clearly, a system based on lies, power, secrets, and soul crushing oppression. Here were explanations for the emptiness I felt.
Each class, Western civ got deconstructed, and the hidden evils inherent in the system were laid bare. New systems of thought were shown, and things I had never even considered were explained. It felt different than any other class I was in. They were the only undergrad notes I kept, and I kept them for years.
That course, that single 8 month course left me with a borderline hate of America, a deep belief that the country was rotten and a force for evil in the world and I could trace it back to the birth of Western civ. It also filled a spiritual hole that I had because I had rejected faith and embraced an atheistic nihilism which left me empty. There was this Ultimate Reality that had been coopted by power in order to dominate and control. And all those systems that produced all those injustices and atrocities of yore were still here, and still producing atrocities and injustices. Ultimate Reality could be worked towards.
I took no more ‘general studies’ courses, because I saw them as useless for real world, and poverty terrifies me, but that class changed me. I honestly believe that if I came from a wealthy family that could have paid for 12 years of school, I would have gotten a pHd in one of the theory disciplines and developed a deep social network of like minded people.
It has only been since leftist progressivism has started to bare its teeth in the last five years or so that I have re-evaluated things, including trying to regain a religious faith. I have a huge need for justice, so when I started seeing cancellations, vilification of all white people, condemnation of all cops, the domination of media and universities by one ideology, and the real possibility of the destruction of the American project...well I started getting that same feeling I had when I read that book mentioned above and rejected my ‘Woke-ism‘.
This is why I am pessimistic. At best, you will have people like me, passively and anonymously resisting progressive totalitarians in ways that don't risk careers or social connections. On the other side, there are religious zealots who have no problem ruining lives and enforcing thought conformity in all cultural institutions (k-12, uni, local/state/federal gov, tv, corporations, etc). I see no counterbalancing ideologies on the horizon. I mean, ffs, saying ‘all lives matter’ or ‘America is not systemically racist’ will get you fired today, what will get you fired in 2030?
And to those who think getting rid of Christianity as a major force in the West is a good thing, well...I hope you enjoy the replacement.
anyway, Durask , hope that is some kind of answer.
+++++++++++++
An annectdote. So who knows if its true. But its the kind of shit you'd expect universities to teach now.
These people will never forgive you and the only atonement is your annihilation and the destruction of all you and your ancestors have built until the only remnant of your existence is that you are satan that got defeated by a glorious Black trans disabled queer MAP POC.
The only solution is to never ever fucking apologize like Turkey. These people don't want apologies. They want your annihilation but until then, submission will do and they make you submit via apologies.
How Did You Come To Hate Your Country?
Kinda OT but one thing I don't get is why so many people get co-opted into the cult. I certainly agree with the intellectual arguments against it, but I also have an extremely strong revulsion to it on an emotional level. I thought maybe addressing this post might make a good thread, chime in...
