  • Stalin , Mao , and Pol Pot types of leaders are every bit as much of a problem as Hitler , Pinochet , and Mussolini types of leaders

    At this point it doesn’t matter what economic policies a tyrant nominally supports , the problem is the authoritarianism that they use that overshadows their economic outlook. Your freedom is just as screwed if you are a fascist labor conscript , or you are a prisoner working in a gulag on some trumped up charge.












  • One thing we need to break into a billion tiny dust like pieces is the idea of “Super Moderators” who control hundreds of different boards . This idea lead to the group think that infected Reddit , because when a “Super Moderator” succumbs being prejudiced then it can effect the entire site , either directly on sites the now abusive “Super Moderator” deletes all posts that challenge their prejudices , or indirectly via a chilling effect when the abusive “Super Moderator” bans people from ALL of the subreddits they control, just for interacting with subreddits they disagree with , regardless of the content of those interactions , and with zero hope for appeal since any attempt at communication will be met with silence and a mute.


  • Being a grognard is not a bad thing , having an experienced gamer who "has been here since the beginning " at the table who knows roleplaying backwards, forwards and sideways can be a valuable resource to a club , they can be mentors and leaders and now that many are hitting retirement age and now have the kind of free time they have not had since their teens they are available and bored , and they have been mulling over campaign ideas for years as well as reflecting on things that make some sessions memorable and other sessions be utter dumpster fires.
