As a sidenote to that earlier thread, let me remind people I am fully open to and accepting of any apologies in a format similar to:
"Hey, I'm sorry I promoted a post from a major GG figure yesterday."

Other formats likely to get a quick "it's cool" and smile of relief include:
"Hey I'm sorry the other day I promoted the hell out of someone who's been spreading weird conspiracy theories about you being some sort of terrorist for years, I'd somehow missed all that."

and

"Hey I'm sorry I keep RTing that person who acted like your friend for years then
slipped up, misgendered you, implied some really horrific things speculations about your character, then blocked you and has avoided you since."

Possibly also:

"Hey, I'm sorry how acting on false information I wordlessly cut all ties with you 5 years ago and never looked back."
Apologies for root causes of some of the above potentially on deck with sufficient efforts made to set things right and atone in some manner.

As we seem to be on the verge of at least formally getting a whole lot of fascists out of power, I'd like for us to take a moment and reflect on how they came into power in the first place. This is of course something I write about a lot, so for latecomers whitehatmag.com/editions/2017-…
and bylinetimes.com/2019/10/02/mon… should hopefully get you at least a little up to speed.

The short version though is a bunch of straight up nazis with a fondness for hanging around on 4chan spent a few years refining techniques and establishing resources to spread disinformation, and
engage in targeted campaigns of harassment and terrorism effective enough to literally bring about the deaths of several people and figuratively destroy the lives of countless more, while completely avoiding any sort of culpability for anyone involved and indeed managing to paint

So this is random and not at all related to everyone's screaming in terror about the election, but it was my (observed) birthday over the weekend and two things happened:
1- A whole bunch of people ordered me a whole bunch of things off my Amazon wishlist.
2- A thief hit my mail.
So right now, I'm trying to work out exactly what was supposed to get here vs. what actually did get here, and turns out Amazon SUCKS SO BAD about visibility for these things.

I can't find out what was sent to me, at all. No tracking information, and I can't even verify what was
previously on the list and no longer is because someone ordered it. Very annoying.

Pretty sure I formally did the whole thank you e-mail with everything I definitely received, which for what it's worth was a bunch of Venture Bros. DVDs and a component for a Halloween costume and

There are few things I hate as much as the myth of the competent nazi.

The myth is, itself, flagrant fascist propaganda.

Nazis need everyone to believe in these strong charismatic leaders who just sweep in, take direct control of everything, and Get A Bunch Of Stuff Done, and
have that concept normalized. They need you to buy into the idea that at least on paper, authoritarianism and dictatorship works, you just need to have the right person at the helm.

And they don't just need you to believe that about this guy they're pointing to as "right" today,
they need you to keep believing that premise going forward so the next guy they prop up doesn't seem like a terrible idea as well.

But no, the fundamental premise is, in fact, unsound. Things actually do run much better when you allow the experts who actually have the experience

I've been saying for years now that the rampant corruption and absence of protocol means the White House's security must be considered too compromised for the next administration to handle matters of security there, but Trump is also hellbent on ruining the historical value too.
Like, my original pitch was "just convert the whole thing into a museum and house the new president somewhere else" but even assuming we survive what's to come and nothing is further damaged in removing him from the premises, they've ruined the rose garden, they're turning the
entire place into some sort of paranoid bunker, I'd be absolutely shocked if all manner of historical items from inside haven't already been smuggled out and sold off or carelessly destroyed.

I'm obviously much more concerned with the long term effects of judiciary appointments

SAME.
It's been a while and I've had enough new followers pop up since that I think we're way overdue for some Story Time but I'm also sitting here looking at Twitter as the sun goes down and I promised myself I'd make some stew in the slow cooker, so read Gwen's thread then come back.
Right then, flashback time! The year was 2014, I'd just started a new set of social media accounts to explore transition options safely, and a bunch of nazis looking to test how much violence they could get away with started terrorizing the hell out of a seemingly random group of

Random stray thought since for the past month or so I've seen another uptick of weird dudes pissing their pants over efforts to not make all dwarves be fighters or whatever in RPGs:

Imagine that there were a rule in the game that you get a +2 bonus to Str if your name is Betty.
Not you as a player, just your character. And they can even do all their adventuring under a fake name where it won't necessarily come up, just so long as it's canonical that up until shortly before joining the party, they were called Betty, and that's their actual legal name.
It's a completely arbitrary rule, not based in real life or anything, but you've got 3 options now, going forward:

You start making every single martial character you play be a Betty.

You start making every character in the game have a dark mysterious past where they hide the
