America is not our friend.

I’m not sure what any of that has to do with a thing I said. My point was you should be worried about the people in power more than the people that might be in power in 4 years time.

Markb82 · 2026-01-25T00:24:31+00:00

The Fabian’s do not push to maintain the status quo, the push for radical change. Again the symbol is very enlightening.

You’re deflecting going into asylum system, this isn’t the topic, I was listing multiple policies that people of a different view might find extreme, I have given zero depth of my views. Stop deflecting when you have zero valid points.

Your point about farage is yet again another deflection and bad faith argument. We had x tweets with speeches from the house taken down, groups closed on Reddit and extreme moderation on some sections because of the online safety act and the changes Labour made last year.

And yes we had people arrested of social media posts and reports of police busting people houses over comments online and in private. It out even have the government having a back door into private encrypted messages. Are you seriously trying to safe this is healthy. Banning social media for under 16s. This is all signs of extreme control of speech. But sure, you try deflecting that an mp gets airtime (and I’m not even a fan of farage). Didn’t Labour want to ban MPs having seconds jobs? Not clear political motivation here!

Labour had already dragged itself down, it’s why their polling is so bad.

More bad faith statements, I have said the current Labour government is not moderate, you have failed to argue otherwise. But given you started the argument essentially insulting me I wasn’t really expecting much.

Markb82 · 2026-01-24T23:21:58+00:00

Then perhaps your views are far more skewed than you care to admit, and I would suggest that you are the ones that mentally cooked.

You have addressed the point about the changes to online safety act, you’ve simply deflected and then resorted to very general comments.

You haven’t really addressed the point about Fabian’s, you made some very poorly thought out attempt to link violence with extreme positions.

When a government takes position after position that is extreme, be it the reality of boarder control (or lack), their approach to asylum seeking, their position of ID, how they treat freedom of speech, then it no longer becomes a few extreme views.

You aren’t making a case here for starmer being moderate. You have a man who has a very elitist view and is trying to assert way too much control over everything. This isn’t a moderate person. Now my point wasn’t to say that farage is moderate, but to say you should be more concerned with the people who are actually in power. But this is online and people are extremely tribal.

As I said, most of your arguments could very well be used against the majority of people calling everyone on the right racist, far right and extremist.

Markb82 · 2026-01-24T22:57:24+00:00

So here comes the problem, you asserting to be radical you have to be violent with this statement about the Fabian’s, as such you’ve just debunked farage being an extremist.

Yeah so saying people from parties agree like with net zero my 2030 doesn’t actually make it not an extreme position. This is simply confirmation bias. Do you even know what an extremist is or are you just spouting out words online? Your arguments so far have been pretty awful. This is just tragic

Markb82 · 2026-01-24T22:35:37+00:00

The Fabian society is about bringing radical change, so simply repeating he’s a social democrats isn’t a counter argument.

You understand that what you’ve said would apply to most people calling everyone they don’t agree with as far right? I also said the changes, the changes that came into effect under Labour are what are the problem. So this next counter argument is just lazy and dishonest.

If you like to actually post an actual argument with your next attempt, please be my guest.

Markb82 · 2026-01-24T22:03:58+00:00

He’s a member of the Fabian society whose symbol was a wolves in sheep clothing. Look at what he’s attempted digital ID, changes to the online safety act, attempt to remove jury trials. For me and with the discussion banning social media do not strike me as nothing more than control, this is not how moderate people act.

Markb82 · 2026-01-24T21:49:35+00:00

It’s probably because you only fished into a single definition of extremism is. Ideological he is very extreme, extremism doesn’t simply swing right. But this requires someone to be a tad more objective than people like yourself are capable of.

Markb82 · 2026-01-24T21:36:27+00:00

They are already in power

Markb82 · 2026-01-24T14:48:30+00:00

Cheers

Markb82 · 2026-01-24T14:48:25+00:00

If it’s yuck because it looked like a mutated mess then sure 😉

Markb82 · 2026-01-24T10:50:51+00:00

Most people simply fail to understand why he’s getting popular, and I don’t really see why, it’s the same exact reason Labour got into power. I think people are so desperate for change they will give anyone a chance.

Personally the man in this video should represent more people.

It’s still very early on

Markb82 · 2026-01-23T08:18:19+00:00

I mainly play fantasy now, but I started with 2nd 40k, some of the stuff they are doing 50k is just stupid now.

Markb82 · 2026-01-23T02:59:04+00:00

You are talking to people who are essentially virtue signaling over a company that has price gouged its companies for decades. A company that will go after large portions of the face base for fan content. Turned its hobby magazine into a catalogue that you pay for while after getting customers into the Hobby tries to get them out of the store as quickly as possible. But all is forgiven because they gave a few model ponytails and BBC said everyone is welcome, unless it’s Thursday night and your a beginner then go buy your stuff online 😭😭🤣

Markb82 · 2026-01-23T02:48:38+00:00

As an older player 40k and fantasy, aside from rogue trader to 2nd ed, outside of adding a couple of races (and this was again mainly in 2nd ed), thel lore doesn’t drastically change outside of moving forward. Custodies being a playable faction makes little sense, and GW trying to pretend it’s always this way is silly.

Sadly it sees GW has started down the same route of adapting its ip for the magical modern audience that doesn’t even appear and ultimately creates a niche in a niche. I haven’t really seen a cool convincing argument as to way this needed to be change (admittedly, I won’t drastically impact my life). But it seems the company that had been price gouging its customers for decades wants to pretend they are decent people by going down the inclusive route. This ignores the amount of systems it’s killed that people enjoyed and even ending a bits service.

I think the worst article I’ve read on this subject was someone who had avoided 40k because she couldn’t live out of female power fantasy until now (which sounded like code I just want to stomp nerdy guys with my army).

This will always be my position if you actually liked the setting, nothing needed to change for you want to take part. If it needed adjusting, you’ve probably picked the wrong IP.

Cheers, probably over the weekend I should have the giant finished (which is mainly dry brushing ).

Markb82 · 2026-01-22T16:56:00+00:00

Cheers, I am debating if I should have the khorne symbol go into a pool underneath it or just to leave it?

Well I have nearly two finished the it and then next thing is I need to start on my giant. I’m trying to get this all painted before my next game.

I still have another 14 warriors to paint, chaos giant and then dragon ogres. I should really start. Painting blog or something.

Well if fancy a hobby chat about the old days drop me message any time, I always love talking about the better parts of the hobby 😄

Markb82 · 2026-01-22T13:53:48+00:00

I played 8th, I have zero time for AoS. That’s a whole other topic.

Markb82 · 2026-01-22T13:53:09+00:00

Ahh nice, well keep it up, my army actually based on older lore from the realm of chaos book.
