...is it at all that worrisome that white people are losing power in their countries?

I don't quite understand this. I don't even think it's remotely related to the debate you two are having, which I'm enjoying reading to be honest. Most white people don't have any 'power' in their own country. You're conflating two different things. Wealth/Power inequality is rampant in communist and capitalist countries. One shaped by greed, the other by corruption. Generally the people suffer in lesser numbers than in capitalist countries and get tangential benefits from the need to keep the wheel rolling (e.g. education, welfare, transportation). I lean more towards the opinion that a new economic system is a necessity now, but until then we're stuck with the lesser of two evils. I think idealists like yourself need to stop trying to bring an archaic, outdated and catastrophic economic system 'back' and vision something new that can work.

I think you and JordanN are arguing about an age old issue, which is basically plantation. What's interesting is that from an imperialistic and colonialist point of view you think plantation is wrong (talking about pillaging natural minerals and resources), whereas from a state and socialist point of view you think it's OK. The real debate here is not about white births, it's about supplanting indigenous people. At this point you seem to be advocating for unification of ethnicity with the 'we are all in this together', that is to say you don't really care about the longevity of any particular race or ethnicity because eventually it will be superseded by one big melting pot, where everyone has a proportional amount of racial genetics? Whether you agree with JordanN is largely irrelevant at this point, you can see his point evidenced on the East Coast of America with the Chinese immigration impact visibly apparent after many years. Ultimately none of us are pedigree or purebloods anyway, we all have trace amounts of different genetics.

I mean probably the best thing to do would be to look at the history of Hong Kong and the attitudes/resistance to integration after it was handed back.

Why sign up for GAF if you're merely going to spend your time stomping your feet and crying about "Trumpets"? I mean, surely that can't be a fulfilling use of your time. None of us give a shit about your tantrums unless you can bring something meaningful to the table. The regulars here have put up with ~18 months of this childishness already.

Signs up for gaming forum. Never posts about gaming. Immediately goes to politics and then spends time whining about the site two days later in the off site thread. I don't get these people.
 
Ruh roh, DeWayne Craddock, that doesn't sound like a white male's name, I expect the Era thread on the Virginia Beach shootings to crash faster than a 737 MAX.

Is there a different screenshot or is that guy unaware what a thigh gap is but still uses the word because that's what his programming told him to do?
 
Thigh gap is real and can be a sexy thing, unless you're a massive fatty who sits on her ass all day and complains.

Oh wait, it is Ree, they are thigh chafing men doing the whining.

There's a lot of stuff ResetEra does that pisses me off, but going after the Atelier series - probably the happiest, most benign, most gentle games I've ever played - is the most infuriating. It's like hitting toddlers with a crowbar.
 
The funniest part(or interesting, depending on the point of view) is the "traps" that members usually spam.

Like, posts throw out for someone(usually someone who likes the series/games enought to try counter-argument) so they can be banned.

Here are some examples of landmines:

"That thigh gap in artwork is absurd" - note, the person who answered got banned. Trap worked

"Artist is a creep focused on young girls thighs"

"The year is 20xx and women do not wear pants" - This one is from Gunvolt Chronicles thread. Honestly, I don't think this guy ever leaves his home.

Let's say you're right, for the sake of argument. Is this necessarily a bad thing? Obviously, white people aren't going anywhere, so it's not as there's any validity to this "white genocide" malarkey. So, let's say that the Western countries are becoming more diverse, their once homogeneously white populations undergoing a browning effect thanks to an influx of immigrants from non-white nations. When you look at the voting patterns of these immigrants, how they support politicians who actually wish to address the existential threat of climate change, is it at all that worrisome that white people are losing power in their countries? I look at the world and what the West has done to it, acknowledging the good and the bad, the positive technological advances that have emerged from Western thinkers and the adverse impact of unfettered capitalism. I believe we are now at a point where less Western (read: Anglo) influence on the course of history is a welcome development. It bodes well for this planet and its inhabitants.

I think what you're really saying with this is "I look at the world, and the people who don't control technology and industry are concerned with climate change." Well, yes. That makes sense to me, because those who don't actually benefit from factories and their output seem like likely candidates to oppose the negative effects they have to society. You only have to look at places like China or India to see that when non-white people have control over industry, they'll do the same thing. It's human nature. One of the many ways we're all alike. Those with power are often careless with it.

Also note the logical formula you're suggesting, here.

"If you look at the statistics, you can see that <insert race 1 here> people are far more likely to <insert bad thing here> than <insert race 2 here> people, so would it really be a bad thing if there were less <insert race 1 here> people around?"

So, in a sense, you're supporting what you're opposing. Especially when applied to individuals, you're suggesting that it's okay to make negative generalizations about people as long as they're supported by statistics. And you're suggesting that it's a good idea to limit or reduce the amount of a particular race in a given country, if it's supported by statistical evidence of negative consequence. This is something that I consider statistical racism. Again, that's especially true when applied to individuals, but also true when you view a whole race through a lens of "these people have this negative effect."

Ms.Galaxy is legitimately insane, just a complete and utter nutcase that makes up stories. I figured it was someone trolling ERA but she apparently had an account here for years. This person is so off their rocker that I'd consider her a risk, a liability to a forum. Shoutout to the weaponized autism benji from The Bire put on display to compile Ms.Galaxy's insanity:

So Era has a bunch of Rick and Morty fans, right? In that case, someone should post this commercial of one of the creator's new game:




Anyone with a non-junior account want to go for it?

Japan is making great strides in combating the effects of industry on our climate, and they're one of the wealthiest countries in the world. So, using the dystopic, authoritarian example of China as evidence that non-white nations with power would submit to the same greed as Western states is kind of erroneous. Also, I never once said I would like to see less white people. Instead, I said that perhaps it's not necessarily a bad thing that there is an influx of brown faces in countries where the people in power happen to be indifferent to the existential threat facing humanity. Obviously, there are plenty of white people who recognize the dire situation we're in and want to address it. But, they are not in power - at least, they don't control the Senate. With more brown faces, thanks to what we can infer from their voting patterns, we may see more environmentally aware white candidates help Democrats to take over the Senate. I have nothing against white people being in control of government. It's a matter of what type of white people. More like Sherrod Brown? Awesome. Less like Mitch McConnell? Even better.

I don't think socialism is an outdated and failed paradigm. You may be mistaking my support of it for an advocacy of communism? I'm not opposed to capitalism. I am opposed to certain capitalists.

Today is a dark day. A day for mourning

I have news to share with you all. News that may shock you to your very core. I'd sit down if I were you. My original launch day PS Vita.....is completely broken. Do your best not to cry for me. I've shed enough of my own tears. My GOAT handheld is no more. Long story short something went wrong...
