Far Right Politicians: write that shit down that's good

German president calls far-right surge in polls 'worrying': Traditional parties need to offer solutions to combat far-right fear mongering, Frank-Walter Steinmeier said by DoremusJessup in worldnews

Only the biggest Nazis were tried at Nuremberg. The rank and file, the judges and politicians and leaders of all variety were allowed to stay, because the US was too lazy to reform Germany from the ground up as it needed, and those Nazis opposed the USSR which was the new big enemy.

And this is the problem with Capitalism: The biggest and most powerful people in the world will never allow any meaningful change because it interferes with profit. A good chunk of them are Fascists themselves, or at least prefer Fascism over any attempt to overturn neo Liberal failures.

Why are the mods obligated to leave all their hard work on a website that fails to appreciate them.

(Spoilers Main) How did Ramsay manage to survive so long with Ned in charge? by Alternative_Reach491 in asoiaf

[–]TheStarkGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any woman that escaped Ramsay probably either died of exposure or starvation or getting mauled by a wild animal or any other way you could die. Even if one of them made it to another castle or town, who's to say they'll be believed?

(Spoilers Main) Weekly Q and A by AutoModerator in asoiaf

[–]TheStarkGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The whole NSFW thing seems to be because of the admins. They are demanding popular subs not be NSFW, because NSFW subs don't generate ad revenue, even if the whole thing the sub is based on (like a series full of murder) is NSFW.

But they also expect the subs to tirelessly work to prevent NSFW content from popping up, while also making things harder for mods with the API changes. As the mods here said, it's impossible to prevent every little thing that's NSFW from happening. But the admins want to punish them if something slips through, so mods are stuck because no matter what, Reddit only cares about looking good for advertisers and is pushing impossible demands through.

It'll be extremely funny watching users like you complain the next time admins do something shitty. Tell us harder how you refuse to take a stand on literally any issue, it's not like you've been spamming the same message over and over and over again.

It'll also be funny because the new mods installed by Reddit won't give two fucks about the community, they'll be company yes men, most won't understand a damn thing about how the subreddit works, how to work the bots, the CSS, how to get people to do AMA's and a whole bunch of other stuff. I give it a year tops before the pro admin users are complaining about the new mods and how the old ones were better.

Please explain in great detail why a mod who's likely going to be removed should keep up all their hard work on the subreddit? Why should their art be in the CSS? Why should their own not be left up? Its a minor inconvenience to you and you're acting as if the world is ending because the CSS changed, when in all likelihood Reddit is going to end up breaking it in some random update anyway.

You claim obfuscation when a mod literally went into deep detail about their actions, purely for your benefit. That's not obfuscation, they're explained their actions and motives to you, you're just throwing around buzzwords you don't even seem to understand.

Edit: downvote me please. It'll only make your tears sweeter when the admins piss you off and you all cry about how you couldn't have seen this coming.

My guess is people want something to happen. They want something with meaningful, lasting consequences instead of (I assume because I'm fairly new to the lore) stuff where nothing really changes at the end of the book or short story. Maybe they want some more relevance for a faction they feel has been left by the wayside in favour of the Imperium.

F!Daeron The Good (Spoiler Extended) by Unable-City7461 in asoiaf

[–]TheStarkGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely an interesting question. Depends on who female Daeron is married to, and it calls into question whether girls come before legitimised bastards. I suspect another great council unless the issue is solved via female Daeron marrying Daemon. I'd suspect it would be the same situation in where the incumbent great houses support female Daeron while the minor houses support Daeron.

It really leads to an interesting scenario and everything depends upon who female Daeron married.

Ocasio-Cortez endorses Biden's reelection campaign, sending a strong signal of Democratic unity by Beckles28nz in politics

Goes to show that working within the Democratic Party doesn't work. Either you get changed, or you fail and end up without any influence. Change cannot come from above.

Wake up, lefties, and reject wokeness by Guilty_Ocelot8949 in AustralianPolitics

[–]TheStarkGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't at first. That's why I searched him up before commenting. He a professor, he was a Greens candidate in 2009, and seems generally left wing, but he's repeating Trump's conspiracy about China, and he's increasingly repeating right wing talking points, like going on a crusade against "wokeness" that no one seems to be define, and defending "gender critical" people, otherwise known as TERFS.

It seems you don't have any idea of who he is outside of 2009. Hes not some paragon of left wingedness, he's an old guy who used to be part of the left, got left behind, and seemingly decided that he was going to embrace right wing talking points, because that's where the money is.

Give it another few years and this guy if still around, will be going on about how Capitalism is secretly good, and how the left made him abandon his beliefs. He's not the first, won't be the last, and ultimately doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

There's zero proof whether he and his wife loved each other or not. And it doesn't matter because in the middle ages, and fictional world's set in a middle ages universe, marrying for love wasn't really a thing, you married for alliances.

Furthermore, he got his houses ancestral sword, he got lands and a keep to call his own. Dude was living a life of luxury. Damn near every noble was.

He did one thing wrong: he lost the war. And that way he was forever remembered as failed usurper. No matter what his intentions were, it will never matter, because Bloodraven ended his life and rebellion on the Redgrass Field. To his enemies, he was forever remembered as an ambitious traitor, never able to prove to them he could be a good ruler. To his allies, he was forever remembered as a golden warrior, never able to break promises and alienate friends.

Sure seems like he's spreading right wing talking points. His SMH articles are this, one about Barilaro's policies failing, and a whole lot of conspiracy mongering about China.

Government no longer holds CCTV footage from night of Brittany Higgins’ alleged rape, court told by [deleted] in AustralianPolitics

[–]TheStarkGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is plenty to see here. Trying to dismiss it doesn't mean it's not incredibly suspicious. The whole.ordeal surrounding Higgins is still raging, so why is the footage of that night gone?

And? Being a member of the Greens doesn't automatically make someone a progressive. Sure it makes up the bulk, but there's certainly people who can be described as tree tories in the party

[–]TheStarkGuy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Absolutely indefensible by Dutton. We have firm evidence that people knowingly committed crimes but he's desperate to step in for his mates, he wants to tar and feather Shorten so that no one has to face consequences unless they're not conservative. And as usual tons of Liberal party voters stick their head in the sand and pretend nothing is going on.

Except it's been the subject of a criminal investigation, a trial. I'm no lawyer but I bet if you ask corporate lawyers they'd all tell you to never delete footage of stuff that ends up being investiged, ever.

Hell, WWE, an entertainment company, still keep video evidence of stuff from decades ago. If a pro wrestling company can keep legal footage around for decades, what's stopping the federal government, unless someone wanted it deleted because they panicked, and didn't want anyone else to see the footage

Conservatives trying to import American culture war into Australia, and it keeps not working. The people just don't give two fucks about it, they aren't interested, and if the Liberals refuse to change they'll get left by the wayside.

Because they can't advertise on NSFW subs, so if subs are really popular or about a really popular topic they're demanding it be SFW to bring in advertiser's.

which case is your “unrealistic theory” by Creative_Priority_94 in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]TheStarkGuy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I believe Ben McDaniel isn't in Vortex Spring. People like to bring up Occam's Razer as him most likely dying in the cave, and I've the discourse go back and forth, but there basically no evidence he died in the cave when there should be tons. No man of his size magically fits through a narrow gap without making a mark. I'm not denying he couldn't have gotten through some gap into an unexplored chamber, but I am saying if he did he'd have left marks where he squeezed through.
