The RW forums are really not the place to discuss politics - granted, this is an off-topic subforum, still. You'll always have one person over here saying one thing, the other saying the other thing. That can end up in an endless fight unless someone (a Moderator) intervenes.
Off-topic sections are for exactly that, off topic. I know forums tend to ban politics because it gets very nasty with how Twitter has shown it to be, and Tumblr, and all those other social media places. Especially the media instigating fights for hate-clicks. (Look at 007's 'Tomorrow never dies' how news is weaponized). This is Red51's forum so I do understand. Sometimes some forums allow it, others don't, with Rising World appearing it could tolerate real world happenings even in a neutral manner. Reddit is banning users who don't agree with certain politics to the point it's like seeing a ship in water leaning mainly to the left side (not the right, or balanced). With the way the political climate is now the media encourages everything to be 'left', and only left. I thought I'd share a more neutral take with how even the media is corrupted to hell and back.
Yes, this is a gaming forum. That I understand, though certain things I would have hoped could have been tolerably looked over. Again, I put too much faith where I probably shouldn't have. As noted previously, my posts don't belong in a political place with how harshly censored those places are. Corrupted, heavyily leaning, no freedom of speech, etc. You need a more normalized environment.
What's done is done and I'm willing for this thread to die, even if I may end up bottling my frustration now spawning further outbursts and rage in other channels. Think of it like a steam engine with how it needs to occasionally vent or it goes "boom".....
I wouldn't say you are a moronic fool. And honestly, almost all political forums are going to be corrupt - you can't fix that. Being completely honest, I don't participate in political forums, because I personally believe that's just a waste of my time. However, I'm not going to tell you to do one thing or another - you do what you feel you need to do.
And for everyone: Just remember! - Actions (& words, etc.) have consequences; good & bad.
I'm aware this post is trying to be neutral (or trying to reach both sides), it's just how the world climate is right now with people forcing opinions onto others when I simply wanted to share things as they were. I live in this city yet I still get disregarded because I'm "bias", or I'm not in the correct bandwagon, or whatever. I understand game forums banning politics, and I saw why in the Discord with how easy it is to control people to the point they knowingly or unknowingly follow the world narrative.
The "moronic fool" part is what social media labels you when you don't parrot their nonsense. It's how in the 1990's rap music was this "best" thing, if you didn't like it you were this uncool fool. This is applied heavily on all social media, forums, among other places, including Reddit. You're not allowed to voice your own opinions, god forbid the world would explode if you do. You mention something even casual everything just explodes..... One example is Canadians in War games, though other example scan be made not relating to that. Pick a topic, someone will find something to be offended by it on Reddit, or other forums.
I genuinely want to leave politics out of everything, hence why I'm a Canadian 'Otaku' type person biasly loving anime over North American nonsense now-a-days. Europeans used to make the best content; Rising World being the latest. You get what you desire while North Americans forgot how to make proper content. Everything has to be political, even 'Colony Survival' and 'Eco' to the point I'm genuinely getting sick of it. I just want to play my games. If I wanted something political I'd play Nier: Automata or even Metal Gear Solid which makes you question reality, not force you into a zone telling you what to eat, act, and do. Japanese games are for entertainment, it's why I'm there. It makes you question things by asking questions in those philosophical manners. It's why I love anime.
I'm well aware of the consequences. I broke when I cursed at Red51 with how I was being attacked from all angles similar to 2017 refusing to just be "down to earth people". People don't understand talking nor dialogue anymore. There's also no loyalty in friendship anymore either. People bail at the first sight of trouble, it's annoying. When you do open up a line with people they then refuse to see eye-to-eye to the point I'm still villainized. You just can't win....... A Mexican buddy told me how we should do it by drinking over a beer while discussing things, as we normally should in anything. The world forgot how to do this (the old European traditional way).
I know it's a catch 22 when I want to shy away from negativity when I post it. When you don't call something out it won't go away. Ignoring things sometimes makes the issue grow to the point we're in this situation with the convoy protest, or other concerns in gaming or elsewhere. We're also at the point the media is now trying to alienate truckers because Dictator Trudeau & Watson told them to. It's like a Dictatorship, or communism (as Europeans noted). Canadian government won't open up a line of dialogue, only that the truckers are "assholes" among other negative labels. People are humans.
Canada has turned into its own version of Communism so we're all pissed off with Canada, especially those who survived hardship overseas in various areas. They're however being gaslight, alienated, among other nonsense. You break when you're not taken seriously.

I'll let Red51 now judge if we should close this thread or not. It's his forum, I'm simply fed up with how stupid my government is and how people just bail on you without talking, or how corrupted North American media is. THankfully Japanese and some European media can be respected while used as escapism. ![]()
