https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Suspects wrote:The law ordered the arrest of all avowed enemies and suspected enemies of the Revolution, and specifically aimed at unsubmissive former nobles, émigrés, officials removed or suspended from office, officers suspected of treason, and hoarders of goods.
The following year, the decree was expanded and became more strict. Implementation of the law and arrests were entrusted to oversight committees, and not to the legal authorities.[4] The decree also introduced the maxim that subjects had to prove their innocence, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_22_Prairial wrote:The law extended the reach of the Revolutionary Tribunal, which henceforth could hear cases for "slandering patriotism", "seeking to inspire discouragement", "spreading false news" and "depraving morals, corrupting the public conscience and impairing the purity and energy of the revolutionary government".[6]
It placed an active obligation on all citizens to denounce and bring to justice those suspected - "Every citizen is empowered to seize conspirators and counterrevolutionaries, and to bring them before the magistrates. He is required to denounce them as soon as he knows of them." As Couthon explained to the Convention, "For a citizen to become suspect it is sufficient that rumour accuses him".[7]
It limited trials in the Revolutionary Tribunal to three days.[8]
It prevented the Revolutionary Tribunal both from calling witnesses, or from allowing defence counsel to the accused. Juries were to come to judgement entirely on the basis of the accusation and the accused's own defence.[6]
It required the Tribunal to come to one of only two possible verdicts - acquittal or death.[6]
The law cancelled all previous legislation on the same subject. Without being explicit, this removed the immunity of members of the Convention, which until then had protected them from summary arrest and required that the Convention itself vote to send any of its members to trial.[9]
The law would free the Revolutionary Tribunals from control by the Convention and would greatly strengthen the position of the accusateur public by limiting the ability of suspects to defend themselves. Furthermore, the law broadened the sorts of charges that could be brought so that virtually any criticism of the government became criminal.[10] Oh, and how can we forget the imperial state and decades long war across an entire continent ( with tariffs) that the French Revolution birthed before collapsing in a restoration of the monarchy.

Do you think all the guys who talk about the French Revolution on there think the current French state is what came out of it?
I mean the ones who know anything about it beyond that some people were murdered by the state during it which is very heckin cool because we love cops murdering people, especially those who do not agree with the dictates of high state officials.

Someone calls him out
Quote:Do you have anything specific to contribute or are you just here to for the melodramatic drive-by?
Quote:There is no melodramatic thinking that killing another person is the worst thing someone can do even if Ellie already kill a lot of people, the moment you have a choice in Ellie's shoe and is not definetely an act of own defense, the answer is always no. You could argue that Ellie lives in a world that killing is trivialized and if you were in her shoes, you would have kill Abby but not even Ellie (being a monster) killed Abby so you deciding that killing Abby is the choice, are worst person that Ellie in the same context if we are playing the game of context, but that is not even the point of the thread because you are who you are because of your memories and experiences so you have to decided with your morals and if your morals is an eye for an eye then you are really fucked up, I'm sorry (not talking specifically at you)
Quote:Right, I get you don't mean me specifically. I think it is melodramatic because, to many people, the game didn't leave as much of an impact on them, or it did leave an impact but in a different way, such as never forgiving or empathizing with Abby for killing Joel. Even if the game had been (in my opinion) perfectly, heart wrenchingly written, I imagine there would be people who might not be so moved.
I get that we can disagree about this, about writing quality, etc, but it feels extreme to me to lose hope in humanity based on how some people react to a game (or a book, or a film). Based on how people actually behave, though, that would make sense to me.
Quote:People that voting for killing Abby is just fucked up to be honest, lacking in anything considered empathy. What the game was trying to do completely failed for these people.
Quote:Maybe I am undestanding the debate as if it was a real situation in a hypothetical TLOU2 real world and you have to make the decision, maybe I am having a real debate about the meaning of killing and vengance and not just trivializing the situation but seeing how many people say they'd kill a human being in not own defense is really hard
Quote:And yeah people saying they would've killed her are weird.
Quote:I worry for some of you :P
The OP
Quote:I feel like so many people here are willfully obtuse
Quote:Hate posts like this. Don't just say "so many people", quote them and offer them an argument.
Why even create a thread asking for people's opinions if in the end you're just insulting those with thoughts not aligned with yours? That's just crap.
Quote:Because many people in this thread have tried to argue with them.
I genuinely don't see how you can see it as a plot hole that Ellie changes her mind, that you can't see how all of the killing had its toll on her, how it makes perfect sense for her to end her spree because she finally came to terms with the fact that she didn't want revenge, but to come to terms with her own mistake in not forgiving Joel.
When I see posts from people saying "it doesn't make sense, I would've killed Abby", it just makes me sad and upset.
Quote:I was expecting 90% would agree with the current game ending. But 32% wanting to kill Abby? You guys should be ashamed by yourselves lol.

The game being responsible for multiple trans members on RE realizing they're trans is still funny to me. I'm pretty sure one of them even said it's specifically because of Abby and not the actual trans character in the game
From a thread about two twats who chopped down an old tree
Quote:They've been found guilty of two counts of Criminal Damage each, and the "value" of the damage they caused is agreed by all parties to be "at the top end of the range of harm caused".
Those found guilty of criminal damage with a value of more than £5,000 can face a maximum of 10 years imprisonment, according to the Sentencing Council, external, which promotes transparency and consistency in criminal sentencing.
However, longer prison terms are only considered when the guilty party is found to have a high level of culpability and their actions caused serious distress and harm.
It's completely within current sentencing guidelines for them both to get the full 10 years imprisonment for what is a heinous crime that has caused nigh incalculable financial and emotional damage.
They've shown zero remorse or contrition at any point. There are no mitigating circumstances beyond the possibility that one of the guilty pair may be suffering from some sort of mental health issue.
Suggesting this is some nothingburger worthy of only a slap on the wrist is not the enlightened moral or legal position you think it is.
Quote:Great, then they may get a sentence longer than rapists. Fantastic.
WTF.

It's important to remember that so many of these Empires were built on oppression and that the idea of the "barbarian" was pretty much petty nonsense to justify discrimination, pillaging and stealing from cultures and people who weren't there big Empires, many of whom weren't "primitive", no matter what fiction tries to push (you here that Fantasy writers!?).

So the opposition reflectively flocked to those works as a way to show support.

All because I shared how people in my community react to this, with all their distrust and skepticism towards anything the Godi media claims. That's all I did. And your reaction is to demand that I sanitize every nuance of my community's fears, all under the pretense of "you're spreading misinformation," just because you lack those reading comprehension skills you accuse me of, and cannot distinguish between a minority's distrust of the fake news Godi media and what actually constitutes conspiracy theory peddling. Do me a favor and read through my posts again, instead. You say you weren't making any claim about what Sikhs think about Modi, but you single out my comment about what we think of Modi and offer me an anecdote about the 2 Sikhs you know?
Yes, it'd be the least surprising thing to us if the Amritsar attack was India—because history shows they've got form. That's who they are. You'd have to be dense to think they aren't. We're all adults here, people understand what I'm saying. Report my post to the mods, and we'll see if they really think this is misinformation peddling (Spoilers: It isn't).
As for "hyperbole" spare me. When a community has already been under these threats, generalizations like we hate Modi aren't reckless. Even Akali Dal, BJP's former ally, abandoned them over their marginalization of Sikhs. But sure, nitpick "all Sikhs" to deflect from the damning reality. Modi's regime is toxic to Sikhs, and your pearl-clutching over phrasing reeks of bad-faith pedantry.
Quote:Where the fuck is this "white knight" thing coming from. This just helps solidify you're approaching this very disingenuously. Your post was stupid, aggressive and reeked of pedantry and you were called out on it by two people. Trying to silence them by calling them that lmao.
Edit: Of course, you are a 2 days old account.
Quote:I'm not a reporter. And I'm in India currently, and I am Indian. I grew up here. In fact, I'm in Modi's state right now, Gujarat.
If your takeaway from my post is that I was presenting what I said regarding the attacks as facts, then I don't know what to tell you, but that the vast majority of the posters here aren't going to come away with that after reading my post, it's very clearly an expression of a lack of surprise at how low the Modi govt can go. And only ones who have so far in this thread are all Indians, and one of them seems to be coming at this from a very bad-faith position, and accusing people of being my "white knight" or whatever. Because they got called out by others.
There's millions and millions of fucking kilometres of differences between saying "it wouldn't be surprising if what Pakistan claims about Modi govt about this attack turned out to be true given Modi govt's past actions," and whatever you think I'm saying. If that's hard for you to distinguish between the two, then I genuinely dunno what to say. Other than that you seem to be coming at this from a bad-faith position and couching your grievance in "misinformation" because you take issue with something else in my post that you don't feel will be safe to state here.
