Since this is public - anyone reading this the 2nd schism of poliera was basically started by Nep posting blatant antisemitic stuff like river to sea which means putting the Jews there which you should know what that means. And Brady and others called her out on it and then basically admins of era made up shit to ban Brady and a bunch of us we're like no, not this shit again. Well, they won. Their prize is Thordinson's Soviet quota posts per day, with overtime to make up for banned periods. Like seriously that forum is compromised.

 
It wasn't just "from the River to the sea" which stupidly has plausible deniability in leftists, her Collective Jewish Nation post was blatant

Nepenthe:

Nothing you've said gives either the current state of Israel, or the collective nation of Jewish people, the right to be commiting genocide.

What a wild ride that season was.

[books]

Ree is like the later SAW sequels where they have to pretzel twist storylines in more and more complicated ways with flashbacks and callbacks cuz Jigsaw-era died way too early.

[Taco Bell Tower]

Isn't that PDF old news though? Why are they even drudging up year old drama. 

That's Ree, they never let go of the past.

I know, separate the actor from the character, but Stallone has crossed a big line.

They forgot the fun thread gif for the OP.

[El Derpo]

So many people ignoring the first PoliEra massacre of 2020, when people were perma’d en masse for daring to suggest that the allegations from (current RT contributor) Tara Reade should be treated with some skepticism.

Community never really recovered from that.

I'm gonna sound like a chud, but #metoo was retarded. Nerds like Aziz got caught up in the whirlwind, a dude who wrote a great book about relationships btw. Yeah, get the rapists, but awkward weirdos also got got.

phew, I was worried Mel Gibson was going to get another go at things with his shitty plane movie, but he's a racist asshole so of course he aligned himself with Trump and ruined his own redemption tour

Gentle reminder that your (and ResetEra's) favorite high-powered wealthy celeb and comic book movie god Robert Downey Jr openly champions Mel Gibson.

Gibson helped to insure him for The Singing Detective after Downey was a consistent fuck-up and couldn't make a movie cause nobody would insure him, justifiably, because you couldn't guarantee he wouldn't spend literal months of the shoot in rehab or prison. Which beyond having empathy for a drug addict - which you should - has a massive impact on many other people who aren't being paid nearly as much.

So on one hand, you kind of get it. But on the other hand, ugh. If any of these Hollywood ghouls saved my career I don't think I'd stand up on stage, with hideous sanctimony, and effectively demand that people forgive him with some "we've all done shit" garbage. 

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

It almost comes across like that was part of the deal, a quid pro quo. Rehabilitate my reputation and I'll do the same for yours.

They're all dudes who got bullied in middle school and just never got over it.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

B-dubs will only get madder with HamasEra becoming more and more pro-Trump over Israel. Once the remnants of PoliEra 2.0 are purged all that's left is to purge anything that isn't on the democrat neoliberal plantation.

How will Nepnep deal with her brethren being banished?

Wait. She'll do nothing because she actually doesn't care.

Nep waiting g for someone (Obviously one of her discord friends) to be like, "Maybe NepNep should be in charge?" And everyone will nod and agree and we'll know it's a bad decision but that'll mean there's gonna be more content here to make fun of.

Edit- listened to Stern this morning and they were talking about Mel Gibson. He's insane. However.....last couple movies aren't bad, better than Liam Neeson movies.

[HaughtyFrank]

I think it is a better setting for him like a lot of us. We can shit on "Adrian Dittmann" and Putin instead of being muzzled into fictional events. Or hell I don't even know if any harassment was real, no evidence was provided.

Funny thing is eventually they banned Thordinson anyway.

You are overestimating Trump winning effects on pop culture if you think Mel has a future. Stallone is safe but not genuine way that Mel Gibson returns outside the Passion sequel.

OK but whats fatboy roy doing.

I'm mostly a chill person,...

 

...but I have a volcanic temper that's just part of my heritage and probably something I ultimately got from my grandfather. Another friend also says that I get "drunk" off of my own anger during arguments because I'm not really afraid of becoming aggressive and I'm stubborn.

Most times I just vent to my husband since that's what you're supposed to do in a marriage, be each other's support.

Poor guy.

Dude, they are just dumb tankies, no CCP officers. Otherwise Ceerius would have been banned after his first post.

Yeah, I'm probably overthinking. Usually the bans are inane and predictable, then some guy will make an offbeat China comment and then get permanuked. I'm guessing it's likely just mod preference...

Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge was nominated for Best Picture in 2017. He was nominated for Best Director at the Oscars. This was the time Ricky Gervais asked him what sugartits meant on stage. 

He’s not showing up in Disney Marvel anytime soon. But he hasn’t been Kevin Spacey leper status for some time.

the game director of dragon age the veilguard (who may or may not be trans) has resigned



rumors are that the game sold 1 million with 10 expected/needed, and their headquarters will likely close in february

I don't understand why she had to resign though rather than just pulling a barve??

While I'm deeply uncomfortable with laying all of the blame on economic factors--especially since if it was purely due to economic factors, we wouldn't be seeing this trend among even wealthy people and it's genuinely an excuse without anyone working towards a solution--there is a factor that goes unspoken about imo.

The economic factors are the root of the problem. We live within a system where selling your labor is the manner of livng in which 99% of people must abide by at risk of death. That system also strictly organizes, specializes, and thus ranks labor which physically, socially, and culturally isolates the workers from one another. That system also undermines valuable labor- the labor that actually produces goods and services that society relies upon and wants- and overrates mere ownership, such that the people who provide the least amount of actual value to society are likely to be some the wealthiest.

These fundamental contradictions inherently incentivize the wealthy to isolate themselves from the masses (we had a thread about how wealthy people are just oh-so lonely too), because being wealthy in a system where money is the sole barrier between you and death, a system where most people will never be wealthy, and a system where slowly people are waking up to the fact that it is inherently unjust, means you would be stupid to be a billionaire and live amongst a crowd of folks who cheered on Luigi Mangione.

No, you park your ass in your gated mansion and pray to your god(s) of choice that the plebs continue fighting amongst each other for scraps instead of coming after you for all the wealth you've stolen. But this in turn means you are also isolated and susceptible to the anti-social consequences of this system that you maintain, because how many people can you realistically have meaningful relationships with? Even if you're palling around with other wealthy people, can you ever be sure that they're not buddying up to you, or even secretly praying for your downfall, because you might still be richer than them? What about if they're richer than you? Can they ever trust you?

Economics isn't really just about how much money you have, but about how land and labor are used and owned, and thus how humans physically and culturally organize themselves amongst the world and amongst themselves. Currently, the way we have organized society is a veritable breeding ground for anti-social, anti-human, and anti-life behaviors and beliefs.

We should probably get rid of it.

Eh, but what do I know?
