I feel like the lynch on Poly is a given at this point.
Yeah, you said earlier that actor is a scum roll... I am not 100% sure about that I think it is affiliation neutral but I am 100% sure that it does not do what poly says it does.

So why is associating the descriptive "authoritarian" to government exercise contrary to definition?
I did not say that. I said that the definition "anything that the government is involved in is authoritarian" is not backed up by any dictionary that I am aware of.
If that is incorrect then I again request that you tell me which dictionary supports that definition.

split into rare occurrences and systematic things.
Then to get back to the point, what you are asking in post 8 is whether I think it is possible that a group revolts because of abuses by the in-power group (as opposed to making such abuses their excuse in propaganda for a revolt that occurs for other reasons) yet still causes intentional systemic abuses to occur.

You said: It's possible to revolt due to abuses of power while being an imperfect organization where abuses sometimes happen.
I asked: If that's the case then should we expect these abuses 'that sometimes happen' (yes, the part of your post I quoted was the part I was responding to) to be systemic in nature?
You responded: By ignoring my query and looping back to the beginning of the thread rather than advancing the conversation.

Which definition have you read that leaves government out?
None of them do to my knowledge, if I am incorrect about that please correct me.
I went off of the Oxford dictionary. Which dictionary says that authoritarianism is basically just an antonym for anarchy?

@Athias
We are obviously using different dictionaries if your definition is "anything involving government" like Alec said.
Which dictionary are you using?

@TheUnderdog
If the government gets involved with something, it's authoritarian.
You must be using a different dictionary than your fellow human people.
Anyway it is a good thing the government is not involved with taxes, the military, public infrastructure maintenance, etc. or we may have to get rid of all that too.

Oh okay. Well, nothing to read into. I have no NP results to report right now and my sus of supa is explained above, it has nothing to do with night actions and you are free to think that I am incorrect and supa is town.

If disc is town and has information he is refusing tonshare that can catch scum today, he is being an idiot
Agree, though I am not sure what brought this up. Are you under the impression that I am doing this?

The best case scenario is that they protect two separate people out of the seven, achieving roughly 30% protection, though of course that assumes that they select different targets
I did the math and it came out to a 22.5% save chance all things taken into account. My assumptions might be wrong but you didn't ask me who is definitely scum you asked why I thought it was supa lol.

My theory assumes pie is town so supa would already know who the protective role is when he claimed.
I guess it also assumes only one protective role but that makes sense to me given how small the game is. If they are both protective roles as claimed that gives town close to 40-50% or so chance (didn't do the exact math) of protecting successfully on NP1 and thereby town confirming someone. Seems a bit town sided.

Would be great if you could explain this read
My answer to this is simple, though I may be incorrect.
I just don't buy the idea that they are both town with those role claims. My gut tells me that the oddball 50/50 mechanic pie claimed is more likely to be a mod giving a townie a wired role twist than pie as scum coming up with an out-of-left-field fake claim. If we are in MyLo supa may have hoped that a cc, even an indirect one, would lead to insta win (I have done similar before, I cc'd a doc by fake claiming bodyguard when I was scum).

where abuses sometimes happen, right?
Be more clear about your claim. Are you talking about abuses by individuals that are part of certain movements but are acting on their own or are you talking about abuses that occur specifically because of orders given by the leaders of said movements?

1) The Taliban do not commit abuses of power.
2) The syllogism in post 3 fails because premise two is false.
Pick one.

You seem to be saying:
P1: The decision to raise David Reimer as a female was fucked up.
P2: The decision to raise David Reimer as a female was part of an experiment to "prove sex is a social construct".
C: Transgender research is fucked up.

Unfortunately any evidence of Taliban abusing power would disprove this syllogism, thereby making it logical to conclude that the takeover was for some other reason such as simple lust for power.

Prove that there were married men trying to get on planes. If I don't see wedding rings I will have to assume they are gay.

I have not seen any such footage that was high definition enough to see wedding rings. How do you know they all had wives and children? If they did, how do you know where their wives and children are?

Keep in mind that saying something is "disgustingly immoral and grossly irrational" is different than saying something is "a threat to civilization". It is possible to be the former and simultaneously not be the latter.

I don't buy the idea that you and supa are both town and currently think supa is the more likely between you two to be mafia.
Supa has given role, character, and justification. You have so far given just character and role unless I missed something (in which case sorry). Please give us your role justification.

What stands out to me are Roy and Marth. Both playable characters on Smash, while none of the other characters are to my knowledge.
My PM actually mentions this. It says [paraphrased] that Roy is best known for being in Smash but also had his own game that was mostly popular in Japan and not heard of elsewhere, the game in question being called "Fire Emblem Binding Blade".
Disclaimer: I have never played any Fire Emblem games and have done zero theme research.

race includes phenotypic characteristics such as skin color, whereas ethnicity encompasses cultural factors such as...
Okay, that basically answers all your questions then. The "transgenders/trans ideologists" you are addressing in the title basically think this about sex vs. gender.
We don't have to agree with them but now you at least get what they are saying.

@Mesmer
But I agree with this LOL.
Is it possible for a slur that is not directed against a race to be a racial slur? (Hint: The answer is either "yes" or "no")
P.S. If you answer yes then you disagree with post 8, making the above quoted statement false.

But being raised in Japanese doesn't change that fact this guy has no ancestry connection with the Japanese.
I missed the word ethnic in your post, my bad. I was thinking of nationalities rather than ethnicities. I actually agree with you completely, sorry about the misunderstanding.
What do you think of the person in your example identifying themselves as Japanese as their national heritage? (the way I identify as American despite some of my ancestors being from Germany)?

I disagree, me and Supa are pseudo-CC right now. Each of us can protect another power role. If one of us dies great, y’all can use actions. If one of y’all die then we got scum.
Great so you basically guaranteed that me or poly will die tonight lol thanks

Could you explain that vote? Did you get some result from a night action, or are you just voting him because of inactivity?
No particular reason, just an inside joke.
