The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Even counting only "ethnic Dutch" or whites or christians or whatever way you want to slice it, they still have almost three times our population. Ireland is direly mismanaged though. If the lads went with #IrelandIsFucked they could appeal to a much broader base!

I'd go with that tbh. The fact that it's fucked is a lot more like it. In fact it's only full because it's fucked the way it's governed. With the wealth we have and the natural resources we could genuinely be one of the best places in the world full stop, but greed got us where we are and now we have second rate everything and greed keeps us there.

I don't want to type out all the ways it's fucked and wrong this minute. Maybe later but I wholeheartedly agree it was fucked long before asylum seekers and refugees were coming here and will be fucked even if they stopped coming tomorrow.

Unfortunately I think this refugee thing has become symbolic of a greater dissatisfaction with government policy and actions in general, such as screwing the regular taxpayer while lavishing wealth on themselves and now looks like they're taking more away but also giving that and more to refugees and asylum seekers, many of whom are of questionable integrity, so it's getting to final straw time. There's too much wrong to write or right at this stage about how bad this government really are and how hated they are. If things were done right here there wouldn't be a peep about foreigners

Edit: Was looking for the THC and Perpetually Monged Brigade thread. My bad.

The Dutch central government proposed a 'Distribution law' to pass the consequences of their stupid decisions on to rural communities. Too many in the cities so make them a problem for rural areas.

I'm in that thread more often than not. Probably the best thread on the board tbf

Of course. Oddly enough sorting it isn't on the cards under any circumstances though. Not on yer life

I see Gavin Pepper is having a few unwanted skeletons dragged out of his closet: seems he is/was not only a landlord, but one who thought any landlord was in their rights to do whatever to wring as much as possible out of government rent schemes, including piling tenants up on top of each other. Also apparently stated he is vehemently against a united Ireland, which is an opinion like any other, but has understandably sparked a lot of in-fighting among the various nationalist groups.

Saw the landlord thing yesterday. Sap. Don't know or care to know anything else about the fella.

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

I mean being a "nationalist" against a united Ireland already outs you as a complete joker. IMO.

Plonker, what would any of these assholes do if they didn't have a camera to mouth off for...

Tomb Raider 2! What I love about this game is that, sure, the treasured object you're chasing after is very old - I should say here that the remasters rightly carry a content warning about the racial and ethnic stereotypes they include, and this game's 1990s treatment of Chinese mythology is about as engaged as you'd fear - yet so much of the game sees you Indiana Jonesing through places which are not actually ancient, but are still harmonious with that kind of numinous scale a certain adventure fiction finds in old temples and mysterious dormant machinery. You get an oil rig, a Venetian opera house, a sunken trawler! Rust and industrialisation, and it works! Tomb Raider 3, meanwhile, builds on everything the first games have and dials it up - much too far in crucial respects. As IGN noted today, the game's treatment of South Pacific islanders includes tribesmen "implied to be cannibals" who use blowguns and issue "animal-like cries as they are defeated." Crystal Dynamics ultimately decided to leave these stereotypes in "in the hopes that we may acknowledge its harmful impact and learn from it."

Edit: I always issue "animal-like cries" as I am defeated. Am i a stereotype now?

The whole Starship Troopers thing that's going on now. 

[Eoin McLove]

What's that about?

[astfgyl]

Authors and commentators have stated that the manner in which the extraterrestrial beings are portrayed in Starship Troopers has racist aspects, arguing that the nicknames "Bugs" and "Skinnies" carry racial overtones. John Brunner compared them to calling Koreans "gooks"

That's what I got when I searched it

[Mower Liberation Front]

Some looper basically came out with that the bugs are innocent victims fighting back against humans doing a Lebensraum on Klendathu, and if you approve of the Federation, you're a Nazi.
And it just snowballed from there, the usual Twitter shit.
