Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[Pakky]

The point of bringing up anything political here is often to inform the misinformed. Why have a thread where we all know what's going on? **** happens in the real world. Don't see why we have to pretend like it doesn't

Then if that's the mission why not have that in a organized news thread or something on the site?

 

[KingofKoopas]

If Russia is a false narrative, then why did Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, get 7 and a half years in jail for his dealings in Ukraine, why did Trump literally ask Russia to look in Hillary’s emails, why was Trump named Individual One, and why is the Mueller investigation still going on? Bonus points if you answer with Whataboutisms.

If russie is true than why has Trump literally had Russian Mercs in Syria killed, why is he in Syria to begin with. Why did he cut funding from Russian ally Iran, why is he backing the revolution against Russian backed Bolivaran Regime.

 

[KMDP]

I can.
Video games are Escapism.
This is a Video game forum.
Some if not most people come to Smashboards or play Smash to relax and unwind after dealing with how **** the real world is. If they wanted to watch politics theyd turn on the News and watch about how the President ate two scoops of ice cream.

I was about the say the same thing.

People come here to have fun.

Political discussions are not fun.

(Dunno if the pizza talk is still relevant) Shared this a while ago, but I remember seeing this disgusting picture of strawberries on pizza (keep in mind I love both foods) and thought that was an awful pizza topping. I haven’t found that one but I found this recipe for a Strawberry Balsamic Pizza with Chicken, Sweet Onion and Applewood Smoked Bacon and I would legitimately try this thing:

How about we deplatform them instead?

I am sure this wouldn't just end up pushing people more away from your side.

If you debate their ideas, you acknowledge them and give them weight. Their "ideas" shouldn't be debated because they're harmful and bigoted.
Why should I listen to people who hold ideas like "this group of people should die"?

You have the same problem as Antifa. Unable to tell the difference between a normal person and a literal Nazi. Not everyone is this parody of "KILL ALL NON CIS WHITE MALE" moron. Some has actual ideas that is worth debating, but this doubling down of constant displatforming with 0 point against those idea only fuels their side.

And this is a social thread, topics outside of Smash is allowed.

Personally, I think Debate Hall is a better place for this particular subject (yes, that's a forum) but it's not inappropriate, even though it can be a bit more calm. Also, politics are in every part of life.

At least you can talk about your life experiences without them being called politics for no reason.

Because people who are misinformed are here so if you make a different thread then what are you going to do? Just post "This person is misinformed" in the thread or talk to the misinformed person here where other misinformed people could see it and learn from it?

If someone "leaves your side" because you deplatformed Nazis, then they're Nazi sympathizers and their opinions don't matter.

Literally this. There might be some bias from me as a political science major but the topic isn't that bad for discussion. It tends to only get heated when it comes to human rights and treatment, which most of us generally agree on

Yet every time debates happen it doesn't work and the one time they deplatformed someone it worked...

bro we're talking about actual racists not like generic conservatives

idk about you but i 100% support deplatforming people who think others are lesser because of genetics

How great Vagrant of Love is. Because I showed it to my brother and he just said it's sounds like a generic Linked Horizon pop song and now we are enemies.

 

[Pakky]

Because people who are misinformed are here so if you make a different thread then what are you going to do? Just post "This person is misinformed" in the thread or talk to the misinformed person here where other misinformed people could see it and learn from it?

If you make a poltical section on the site those who are uninformed or misinformed would go there.

Forcing info on people here has been met with mixed results on multiple occasions. So why not make a change and start up something new?

Instead of doing the same thing everyday to only rope the usual few?

This isn't a destructive suggestion and I'm not tearing anyone one down. But if you want to make a real change hobbling a bunch or random topic through a SMASH SOCIAL thread ain't it.

Wouldn't have considered Strawberries as a Pizza Topping.

That being said I have seen a Chocolate Pizza (I'm not sure if the Pizza base was bread or more chocolate), so...

At least you can talk about your life experiences without them being called politics for no reason.

Unfortunately, subjects like Interaction between Sexs, Peoples' Sexuality and the rights of Trans People have become so incredibly political that people have a hard time mentally separating them.

Way to misconstrue a quote so thoroughly. Great job.

Nazis shouldn't have a ****ing safe space. They should feel anything but safe.

Forcing info on people? Are you actually serious?

You come on here horny as **** talking about all your fetishes and you want to tell us that we are forcing info on people when we talk about things that are important in the outside world. Dude, get a grip.

Tell me what editing one word in your post makes you sound like. And then tell me who is a Nazi.

Look, I don't really care for the political discussion here either, but I much rather hear politics than the daily r34/sex discussions this thread tends to have.

I mean dessert pizza exists, but if you’re talking about in a traditional pizza, I may need a bit of convincing to be on board with that...

This would be a good result. #PetShopForSmash

Me: "Nazis are bad because they want to kill people and we shouldn't listen to them"
You: "You should listen to them or else you are the problem."

It was some kind of Special Edition dessert Pizza.

I often have a "Double Cheeseburger", which is pretty much just a Cheese Pizza with bits of Burger meat.

Which is so goddamn frustrating it makes me want to pull my hair out. I’m not trying to push an agenda. I’m not trying to take anything away from anyone. I’m just trying to talk about my life and share my own story.

Talking about things we can do to make life BETTER for trans people, that’s politics. Absolutely. And it’s really hard to do one without simultaneously doing the other. But this strict abhorrence of the “political” is just another way of silencing people like me.
