maybe gamefreak should allow people to play their old fucking games on the switch instead of making them pay for used physical copies or emulate.

Fuck pokemon.

Apologies, I was referring to the people who are full steam ahead on running him that I've seen on Blusky. Before this week I would not have expected anyone to be okay with a Nazi tattoo that proclaims themselves to be on the left.

The thing is that it's not just the libs backing this dude, there's tons of progressives doing it too. If we aren't honest about the problem we have then there's no hope for us to actually confront it and solve it.

This is maybe the only space online that isn't filled with people willing to look past him having a Nazi tattoo for twenty fucking years.

that.. should actually tell you a lot about you and your users opinions, b-dubs.

the fuck kind of art am I looking at? who let this pass quality?

[Boredfrom]

This isn't a "Don't be mean to Pokemon" thing, it's a "I find the evolution of online trends interesting and this one's got me kind of baffled" thing.

The simple explanation is that Pokemon fans become jaded, the self victimized act become unsustainable when it was clear the Quality drop was never going to be addressed in a meaningful way and Nintendo/TPC have no incentive to change.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

look at that tiny fucking hand on kamala

[imsotired]

it's getting better

Honest question because I am not really up to speed on this other than he had a Nazi tatoo...does he have a history of supporting fascist positions? Does he currently come across as fascist?

having a nazi tattoo for 20 years doesn't count as a history of being a fascist to you?

no, uh. it doesn't count as a history. do you have anything with more meat? Policies? His actions while in the military? No? All I'm seeing is him denounce what he's said in the past about gay jokes and owning up to the mistake of the tattoo.

That phrase about scratching a liberal that I guess is banned here is seeming more and more apt.

It's a fucking Nazi tattoo. Do not pass go, do not collect $44. Minorities have been asked to vote for some pretty shitty candidates "for the greater good" but to ask them to vote for a man who has a Nazi tattoo is a new level of "What the fuck are you doing claiming to be anything but a Republican?".

The man has been calling himself a socialist dude. Why is it everytime a socialist or communist does some fucked up shit we blame the libs? Dude ain't a lib, we gotta be willing to call ourselves out if we want this shit to stop.

Why is B-dubs talking as if he isn't a liberal?  Is he pretending to be a Marxist now?

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

but you see he didn't vote for kamala even though he tried to use the excuse of mentoring a trans student as a reason why people should vote for kamala.

I'm sure all the people of color murdered by the ICE loving Zionists will appreciate the solidarity of the old white minorities in Maine (95% white, largest % 65+ age population in nation) sending them to the camps so as to not have to vote for someone with a Nazi tattoo in a Democratic primary.

Unfortunately the whole team sports attitudes towards politics has ALWAYS been a problem on all sides and existed regardless of ideology. Tribalism is to some extent coded into out fucking genetics and people will always be way more willing to forgive a lot as long as the person is on "their team" especially when they view the potential risk as not much for themselves personally. A lot of people attracted to leftwing ideology are so for reasons exactly as selfish as what drives people to rightwing ideology, so it's not really surprising that they'll support bad people if they think they stand to benefit even if others will be hurt

What is selfish about wanting healthcare for everyone, the minimum wage to be a living age, protecting the environment, ensuring the police are accountable for their actions, reducing income inequality, etc.? How are you, or anyone else here, harmed by these things? I cannot imagine being privileged enough to believe that wanting these things is "selfish".

Well if you want to get closer to that you'll have to vote for the guy who made a mistake 20 years ago even if he's never shown any nazi policies since or move by his reddit logs.

The part where you make it mandatory by threat of violence?

Honestly, they also act like what they are decrying, most of the time. 

If anything, this an exception that proves the rule, as the only real difference between other leftist spaces is how insular and paranoid driven are the ERA community.

Before the Nazi tattoo shit, they were pretty willing to forgive that dude because he made a “sincere apology”. The “secret Nazi” is probably the thing that ERA cannot forgive if only because the forum encourages paranoia and the lack of distinction between bigots.

Starting to wonder if somebody else the libs are defending has a Nazi tattoo.

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

[benji]

All things considered they should probably forgive the Nazi tattoo from decades ago before they forgive the Reddit posting recently, especially if they don't have proof he wasn't posting in or reading LiveStreamFails or some other well known Nazi subreddits.

Guy literally posts on a Nazi website pretty much every day:

My ban reason says covertly linking banned sources; literally checked to see if xcancel was used on the site prior to quoting what I linked lmao, and it was used as recently as today multiple times.

Hopefully you've learned to think about what could have happened if someone clicked your link.

ban him, benji! pls!!

On Bluesky in his replies a number of them actually do seem more upset about his Reddit posting:


Also they're organizing harassment accountability:

hmm.. all those points ahead of his GOP competition and suddenly hit pieces about nazi tattoos and anti-gay jokes. it's almost like his opponent is attempting to use terminally online leftist outrage topics to dissuade democrats from voting. 

I wonder who would fall for this obvious tactic. No reputable resetera user would ever let themselves be emotionally manipulated like this.

Right?

They need to take a leaf out of Jeff’s book and not judge people for things done 15 years ago

Janet Mills is the Democratic Governor of Maine.

But she's a Zionist, allows ICE to operate in the state, doesn't support ending the system built on Black Oppression, etc. so she might as well be Trump. Don't ask minorities to vote for her:

Spoiler: unbiased sources on a Nazi site because they barely post on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/trackaipac.com (click to show)(click to hide)

We should however get ClickyCal's opinion before proceeding: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/us/politics/janet-mills-maine-trump.html

After Janet Mills, the Democratic governor of Maine, challenged President Trump during a White House meeting, she became both a folk hero to her party and a political target whose state now faces a federal investigation by the Department of Education.

Ms. Mills, 77, told Mr. Trump on Friday that she would not accede to his executive order banning transgender athletes in women’s sports. “See you in court,” she said, while seated with a group of bipartisan governors in the White House State Dining Room. The U.S. Department of Education promptly informed Maine officials that the state’s education department was under a “directed investigation.”

The Trump administration “will do everything in its power to ensure taxpayers are not funding blatant civil rights violators,” said Craig Trainor, the acting head of the U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights division. He said that Maine would lose federal funds if it did not comply.

Ms. Mills did not stand down.

“Do not be misled: This is not just about who can compete on the athletic field, this is about whether a president can force compliance with his will, without regard for the rule of law,” the governor said in a statement on the escalating conflict. “I believe he cannot.”

That explains the smearing even more. Establishment shitlib smearing a socialist. Isn't this what Era is always complaining about?

They certainly understood when shitlibs were targeting their precious "socialist" streamer who keeps getting accused of stuff by shitlibs and associating with people who later reveal themselves to be disloyal or even Nazis like Ethan Klein/Destiny/etc. But somebody actually putting themselves out for office to try to legislatively bring the dream of Rapture to America and they're like PLACE!

I don’t even need to open the thread as I just know it will be the “chud” or the far right.

Lmaooo

That said, when linking it I was 90% certain linking it would get me banned, the comment falsey being framed as harassing women aside.

Linking to Twitter isn't even banned   Just embedding.

And "covertly linking banned sources" does absolutely not sound like cop talk whatsoever

I modestly propose all white male babies be tattooed with swastikas that can only be removed with approval from a council composed of POCs.
