Trump

[Subway Diet]

Classic presidential move.
If things are looking bad for you at home, just lob some missiles to distract the public. Nothing gets approval ratings up like a good bit of military action.
Same goes for Macron and May. I'm sure they want to look tough as well.

Yeah seems like I was on the right track with moving to go off-grid.

EDIT: To clarify, only ever saw Trump as an inevitability of the current system and only really agreed with his stance on the border with Mexico. This shit outs him as another puppet.

So presumably the next phase for you lot is to paint Kanye West as an Uncle Tom.

Also loving how I'm seeing such "liberal" social justice sensibilities from the Wizards Forum diaspora. Confirms a lot of things I'd been thinking about the current "liberal" zeitgeist

It's a bit of a non-story really. "Talentless man who will do anything for column inches praised by narcissist for massaging his ego publicly".

You are a strange one Paladin, why make such deliberately provocative comments? It feels like you are pushing for an argumentative response, which is hardly the MO of this forum.

It is ironic that "liberal" is being used by the American right as a derogatory term when the United States is a country founded upon liberal principles.

Also it's hardly WoO's diaspora is it, isn't WoO the youngest offshoot forum? Or was it that nutty narcissistic guys forum that was newer, forget his name, posted pictures of his bird in underwear or something. Whenever he did something stupid he'd pretend it was all a social experiment or some such nonsense.

Kinda just before my time, but Parvini?

Yeah that was him, good shout Sly! I think he made a forum at some point, also wasn't their an offshoot to play that wolf game too? Fuck there's way too many offshoots now, I can't remember them all.

Shhh, don't stop the entertainment before it's begun!

No I genuinely don't understand it. I read the previous post and chose not to respond, as presumably others did, then another post comes along that reads as nothing more than a jibe, a desire to be deliberately provocative. I don't get that mentality - why post on a forum where you have enjoyable discussions about gaming and other topics with the aim of causing another polarising argument?

[Wrathbone]

I guess some people just like to ruffle feathers (trolls gonna troll)?

I'm interested to see opinions totally different to mine and why people hold them, but yeah, there's a point where it's deliberately provocative for the sake of it.

Yeah, wind your neck in grandad, with your outdated concepts of actually speaking to people and trying to appreciate their point of view, applying reasoned debate so that even if you have opposing viewpoints respect is mutually achieved and everyone learns a little something, rather than just throwing out random insults apropros of nothing in search of a reaction

He also made a thread to whine about people he didn't like. I won.
