Wait the website I was talking about has been reborn under another name, I found it on Google due to Monstercat still hosting there.

You are either a slave with a master and no rights the ultimate oppression or it's every man for himself only the strong survive the ultimate freedom, answer to no one.
This actually agrees with my interpretation of the wings.
At the extreme end of left-wing what happens is that all are tamed and suppressed such that noone can harm anyone, except the leaders who can harm all.
At the extreme end of right-wing all are free to prey on each other but without fail, there is a guaranteed endgame of the rich ruthlessly ruling over the poor and social outcasts generation after generation until eventually the impoverished and abused combine to riot and overthrow the elite.

You are blackmailed to say that you are proud of China if you are a Chinese citizen and resident. You can get in serious life-threatening shit if you don't.

No they don't. The crime is covered up and many things that should be crimes (in terms of corporate environmental damage and employee mistreatment, as well as average citizen's ability to torture and abuse their children and animals) are not crimes that are in any way recorded.
In China it's perfectly legal and acceptable to beat your children and to torture animals to extreme degrees.

If you observe what this website runs on, it is not democracy in theory and yet the populace is respected by those in power. DART is a benevolent dictatorship and is proof that it can actually be done and thus that democracy itself is not the highest importance in a political system but instead respect for all is the utmost priority.
This is not proof that Republicanism is superior to Democracy, as this site is also not actually a Republic since each MEEP and discussing in threads that led to the rules and continues to shape them isn't how a Constitution with 'irrevokable rights' is formed or regarded.

There are tactical reasons to vote early if you can edit it later anyway, which will influence future votes, 'tame' debaters to not ask for votes if they're winning etc. It's very open to exploitation.

It isn't just that, sometimes the one who deleted was the victim in a way and got really heated and said things they regret. In my eyes it's all fine actually, the key is time limit and logs. I like that you can delete your posts in a certain time limit. I like the same thing with votes, the only reason you'd need to delete it long after should at least lead to you requesting the mods to delete what you posted. If it's too bad to even ask them to delete it, then idk what to say.

Were America's native Indians blackmailed into Christianity? Did England conquer and blackmail America?
Yes, except they didn't give in so they were slaughtered instead. Very few remained and reproduced to have the 1-3 native tribes and bloodlines that remain, out of the original 14 or so.

There used to be a website dedicated to this, seriously it was amazing and even Monstercat (a massive electronic music promoting channel run by a group of people) had its own room in it. I forgot the name and the site went down it was something with the word 'play' in it I am quite sure.

@PressF4Respect
You can think whatever you want about me, I am telling you that I understand war (even flamewar) on a level that most humans can't begin to. You can tell me that what you're doing is like engaging a scam-caller but why do you engage scam-callers in the first place? Even if you waste their time and wind them up, so what?
You are in every single level of strategy, losing this flamewar. They are controlling where you go with the conversation, how you go about dealing with it and you are solely reacting, obeying and copying them. Until you understand that you should sometimes quit a flamewar when the enemy/enemies control the terrain, you won't understand why I let Ramshutu get the last word even if he'd 'won' the situation and others jeered him on. You're not proving them wrong, you're actually being very hostile and I personally contacted the mods about the situation but they haven't shut the threads down where you and these guys are engaging, yet.
You are just going to get angrier and angrier and say more things like 'drink bleach' and sarcastic things about the Nazis that not just fuel them with quotes to troll you but make you look like the evil maniac. I am telling you that you are not going to win this flamewar, just drop it. Everyone with any braincells can see that they are trolling and no one who is right-wing, centrist or left-wing is going to read their taunts and jestful retorts to you and go 'oh yeah I am convinced'. They neither are out-debating you nor are you out-debating them, the difference is that they are not trying to. They are solely trying to wind you up and make you say nasty things to make the left-wing look evil and also to get a sadistic giggle out of it. I have blocked greyparrot a few days ago and both bmdrocks and ilikepie5 know that I completely disagree with them, the main difference between you and I is that I don't engage them when they are trying to troll me, I just leave the thread or solely interact with others around them. You will 'win' and get a lot more out of your interactions in the forums if you reduce the interactions with people you dislike, streamline those unpleasant interactions to make the other understand why you are irritated by them (if you interact at all with them) and increase your interactions with those you agree with and enjoy.

@ethang5
Are you sure this is true? Do you have any support for that claim? How about Liberia? Or even the United States?
Do you have a clue how either began? US began due to Columbus taking credit for a guy who literally was killed in order for Columbus to take the credit for the land that the guy found, the guy thought Columbus would give a reward to him but was backstabbed the minute he claimed his reward. Columbus didn't just lead pillaging and invasion of a violent sort, his men truly relished in the fear, rape and all that mental torture stuff that comes along with conquering.
As for Liberia, every single Christian and Muslim African nation was brutally conquered, as a Ghanan I thought you'd know that.

@ethang5
Judaism, Christianity and Islam all intended to run along invasion, bullying generations into it and lasting that way, the only reason that Christianity outdid the other two is that they pillaged and invaded far more (as well as that later on, a pseudo-Christian named Adolf Hitler led the wiping out of many would-be generations of Jew during his reign as Nazi in chief).
The reason why Christianity has outdone all religions in population is that it originally invaded and pillaged far more than the rest did, which part is confusing you? Islam is second place because it was also second place in the pillaging and invading out of those religions that remain.

@ethang5
Parents brainwash their children into it from a young age and threaten to disown and reject them socially in the family of they pull away from it. The pillaging isn't required anymore, just pressure to keep it going. There isn't a single nation that is Christian that wasn't conquered and blackmailed into it in past generations of that nation's culture and history.

@oromagi
Yes I am absolutely saying that. The Hadith (which is more solely dedicated to Muhammad's ways while the Qur'an is more to Allah's) encourages stoning and brutal punishment to those who stray from the religion in any way.

I'm curious what evidence there is that I am not important to the site or that I lack charisma. If we analyse my status in the HoF and how people react to me positively and negatively, I am both important and also charismatic overall.
The thing is that you are one of those people who genuinely finds charm to be offputting so I understand why you don't find me charismatic. You're drawn to people who are quiet and timid, which I am not.

The egomaniac wouldn't hide their identity, and I didn't ask for your thoughts on me. Instead you asked for my thoughts on you. The most ironic part of this is that you lived up to the stereotype that I assigned you.

If he removed:
2: NOT PASS RULES ABOUT TROLLING
I could understand his case with the other 4 requests, as he is consistently asking for the user to have more power to remove annoyance from their site experience.
However, when he asked number 2, I am confused what he wants.

@Barney
Okay but honestly unless you're referring to Ramshutu or MagicAintReal and his alts, very few people ever 'truly abused' voting loopholes. The problem is that others unknowingly vote for faulty reasons and indeed forget to contrast it with what the other side did enough. Conduct 'fluffing' is a rare thing in what I've seen, the biggest thing to fix is the opposite of what people have suggested. You need to make them stricter and more OCD-precision in how streamlined they are to follow and enforce.

It is not true what you are saying about Islam, both Christianity and Islam are extremely prone to parents bullying children and conquerers blackmailing invaded populations, into believing.

The "Civil Rights" movement did worse for so-called "blacks" than it did good.
This has to be the most ignorant and nonsensical thing that you've said against the left-wing and against black rights during your time on the site. This is literally impossible to justify.

In western europe, Cabada, Australia+NZ South Korea and Japan there has been example of reducing crime in ways that involve less law enforcement and more effort on reducing the reasons people commit crimes and general aggression and dissatisfaction in the populace. This is social democracy.

While it's a bit too radical and naive what she's suggesting, it's true that more police isn't the solution, you need to make the people feel safe and engage harmoniously. This takes time and effort towards apologising, sympathising and all that stuff from the leader. Unfortunately, pigheaded Trump likes to stir the pot and aggravate so nothing she suggested can work with this shit stirrer for a president.

Pro small government implies that they want the police to remain unemployed or leave the police force, they want them retrained and transitioned into other sectors perhaps. Also the police are not the government, I'm not sure who told you that but 'small government' refers specifically to less bureaucrats, not to less enforcers of law.

Defunding is not about different training programs
It actually is. What you are speaking of is temporary solution, the idea will be that the police will both be trained more like those you mentioned are trained and that the relationship between police, mental health experts and sociologists will significantly be tightened to prevent anything like this happening ever again.

@Nemiroff
Defunding the police isn't about anarchy, it's about restructuring it from the ground-up with training courses including things like empathy and how to properly judge a situation's 'violence requirement'. Currently, the training blatantly lacks sufficient covering of those 2 topics.
