  • True, these are valid problems.

    Here is how I do it and yes I know I am very privileged.

    1. Have a DISCORD with everyone who might attend in it.
    2. Pick 3-4 dates at least a month in advanced. Have people list witch dates work for them. Pick the one with the most open spots.
    3. Tell my work building supervisor that I want to use our training room for a LAN party (We have a good history of this and it brings in other coworkers. So like team building stuff).
    4. (Optional but effective and makes it seems like you have a plan) Draw up a tentative schedule with which games you are playing and how long you are going to be playing. Add Chill Time/Extension time in case people want a break between games or want to play more.

    Good Luck!

    Your right, but I think my point still stands. In order for that to be meaningful, the number of Americans that were Palestinian would have be such that it would swing an election. I don’t think they make a significant voting block. So I don’t think you can say the white shirted guy is representative of that.

    If we’re talking about Palestinian and American politics, no, the left guy didn’t. Palestines are not American citizens and don’t get to vote.

    And if we hypothetically insert this into the comic. Then the guy shooting the hole in the boat actually has a point and is not simply dumb.












  • But that’s the problem. The voters are all morons. The Democrats knew this. And Republicans were giving a master class on how to make that work. But the Democrats didn’t do anything. They treat politics like a friendly game of Monopoly. They assume the rules are magically enforced. So when the Republicans started to cheat, the Dems kept playing by the rules. And now we have a fascist government.

    Also, I don’t think the Democrats are suffering. They’re all rich. They can live just fine in a fascist US, they have enough money. We are the ones that are going to be loaded onto the trains.



  • Ok, so there are two kinds of idiots.

    1. The idiot who actually doesn’t know any better. They are just following the misinformation wherever it goes because their friend on face book said it and they trust them or something like that. Unironically the bacteria is crunchy and good for you and the bad things aren’t real.
    2. The person you are talking about. The person who knows it is bad and knows what they are doing.

    There are only a few 2s, most are 1s. Like 1 “2” for every 100000 “1”.

    2s, as you have stated, don’t care. They know. They know their arguments are dumb and a misdirection. They will not engage with this meme, because they know what they are doing and they know it is wrong and they know that engaging with this will just out them and expose their bad takes.

    Even if you get rid of all the 2s, 1s will self perpetuate. So you really should target the 1s.

    The 1s are not aware of all of this 6d chess going on. So if you show them this meme, they are going to be confused because they have no problem with refrigeration and they are going to be mad because you are implying that they are dumb and you are not addressing their concerns. So they ignore us and don’t learn anything and we look like idiots. This is what the 2s want.

    The thing is, pasteurization is an easy win for us. No need to overcomplicate it. Just tell the 1s and 2s the truth. Otherwise we end up looking like we don’t have an argument by making up positions they don’t have. If the 2s pipe up, we have the data and “It’s your life, if you want to risk getting deadly diseases tuberculosis, brucellosis, and E. coli, that is your choice”. If they go farther you can just say they are in a death cult, it’s easily winnable even if you are an ok debater.

    Honestly the 1s are looking at this meme and must think it is some other group that is being targeted because they have no problems with refrigeration so this post is like 99% of people who agree with each other patting each other on the back. Fun, but not productive.



  • The way I think of it is as follows: if you like the idea of socialism or communism, and you think the only way to get there is to have an authoritative leader “clean house” before they for some reason or another decide to give the power back to the people, then you are a tankie.

    In my opinion, an authoritative leader will never give up power back to the people willingly. Or if an authoritative gets in charge, it will never dismantle systems like capitalism because capitalists give authoritative people power.

    Another good hint is if they really like the idea of murdering billionaires even if there are less violent solutions to it. I’m not saying that there are currently less violent solutions. I’m just saying they will never go out of their way for less violent solutions. As if they like the idea of murder a lot.
