I believed it was because right wing groups are more authoritarian, and thus more likely to simply fall in behind the leader. Like all the Republicans that said bad things about trump, but when it came to votes they went along with him. Personal beliefs are less important than group cohesion.
I believed left wing people are more likely to value things like truth, accuracy, fairness, over group cohesion. Thus when there’s a disagreement or problematic leader, the group fractures instead of the majority going along with whoever’s perceived to be the leader. Personal values are primary.
Also I guess the surface area for problems in left wing spaces is bigger. If a right wing guy makes a racist joke, the right wing probably won’t care. Nor if they do something sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or whatever. They just have to swim with the current of all that bad stuff conservatives believe/accept. But a left wing person, who is just as steeped in the shitty dominant culture, will be held to a standard if they fuck up. They have to go against the current of the dominant culture. And if they fuck up and some internalized racism bubbles up, that’s a whole problem in a way right wing folks don’t have. They don’t have internalized communism or feminism to grapple with.
I don’t know if this is actually true, though.
Sorry for the kind of stream of consciousness post, heh. Think I’m mostly following what you’re saying
It’s federated with my lemmy instance. I neither seek it out nor avoid it.
I’m waiting for it to go on sale/get an ultimate edition*, but my understanding is a lot of turds don’t like it for usual turd reasons.
It’s probably for the better there’s no reverse review bombing that happens. But it’s the usual thing: hateful people are focused and dedicated, everyone else is not so much.
*Though I did read no dlc/expansions are planned
When I encounter a GM who has like pages of lore, I’m always like “Would you rather write a book?”
Stuff like this can be very good, but be aware there are some players who hate this. Some people just want to be told a story, and if you ask them to be too creative they’ll have a bad time. Sometimes it’s because they’re new and nervous, but sometimes that’s just how they are.
Also some players just routinely have difficult ideas that don’t mesh with the group. Like everyone else is vibing on a serious dark modern day vampire political game, and they’re like “I want to be a ninja turtle from Mars with a reanimated dead fish for a head”. Like, what. Maybe some people enjoy “zany” off-theme stuff. Not me.
Or the player that always wants to be themselves. Or an amnesiac.
Gosh I’ve had so many players I didn’t enjoy.
Anyway. Player input is also built nicely into Fate, both in campaign creation and scenes. I’m a fan. Spend a fate point and declare a story detail like “every Razer Space Technology office has a helipad with a chopper ready to go. It’s because the CEO is weirdly hands on and loves helicopters.”
I’m pretty sure monopoly was supposed to show how it’s a bad system
Remember that jury nullification is a tool in your toolbox.
Hypothetically, if you’re selected for jury duty in a case like 'Someone murdered Nick Fuentes", you can just say not guilty regardless of evidence or truth. The court can’t make you show your work and they cannot tell you that your verdict is wrong This is an inherent property of jury trials. It gets used to shield cops and other in-group members from consequences.
Unless he’s going to jail or similar, it doesn’t matter. He got what he wanted.
I feel like people are just rolling over and taking it? He shouldn’t even be eligible because of the 14th Amendment “no insurrection” thing.
Yes. And no one’s going to do anything about it.
Most people are too lazy and thoughtless to stop using it .
The engineers that work there certainly aren’t going to stage a coup.
And no one’s going to just do violence to Musk.
