I don't see the problem at least in regards to game moderation. Papers please is a video game, and bud, this site has literal Nazis running around. Not that that's a good thing, but it's the reality, so don't expect the mods to smash the hammer down on that guy. At least not for anything other than maybe his pretitle.

It's possible that they weren't referring to the videogame. 50/50 chances here. Depends on how the mods see it.

Not only do I find that highly unlikely, as it's a pretty common phrase, but that's not something the mods will pounce on.

The pretitle is the only thing I can see them maybe caring about, but still a stretch given their precedents, imo.

Hey!

First of all, mornin', (yes, I beat Iandrul to it,) and second, NS moderators actually did something about it. They changed Arizona's pretitle, motto and currency. I don't care if I wasn't completely right, I'm just glad I'm not in trouble after Quebecshire gave me doubts about my complaint's validity.

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries. The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the system survives, the consequences will be inevitable: There is no way of reforming or modifying the system so as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy. If the system breaks down the consequences will still be very painful. But the bigger the system grows the more disastrous the results of its breakdown will be, so if it is to break down it had best break down sooner rather than later. We therefore advocate a revolution against the industrial system. This revolution may or may not make use of violence; it may be sudden or it may be a relatively gradual process spanning a few decades. We can’t predict any of that. But we do outline in a very general way the measures that those who hate the industrial system should take in order to prepare the way for a revolution against that form of society. This is not to be a POLITICAL revolution. Its object will be to overthrow not governments but the economic and technological basis of the present society. In this article we give attention to only some of the negative developments that have grown out of the industrial-technological system. Other such developments we mention only briefly or ignore altogether. This does not mean that we regard these other developments as unimportant. For practical reasons we have to confine our discussion to areas that have received insufficient public attention or in which we have something new to say. For example, since there are well-developed environmental and wilderness movements, we have written very little about environmental degradation or the destruction of wild nature, even though we consider these to be highly important.

I think the pandemic has proven proves the more likely respond to be conservatives refusing to shelter inside or take any discovered preventative measures. I don't think hunting rifles or even an AR-15 would prove very long-term effective in the end times.

It was a joke but COVID-19 is just something the Republicans found harmless because of right-wing media.

If the left-wing media reported coronavirus to be essentially harmless, then things would have been turned around.

And zombies are honestly different than a superflu, anyway. I mean, a drastic change in skin color would already be a warning to both sides.

Leftists tend to be more in tune with reality than right wingers, so I don't know why the "denying reality" hypothetical is being switched. Plus, most zombies in television just have greyed skin, not just turning green. Plus, people aren't a new race when they sunburn, so nobody would really act like it's a new race. Lastly leftist =/= liberal.

In television.

In real life, if this happened, green skin is still a possibility. And I'm sure zombies have many other physical features that would signal nonhuman state, and if those won't do it, social traits most likely will (moaning, inability to speak or think like a normal person, etc). And if zombies could run, we could be screwed. Unless their legs rotted.

And liberals aren't leftists. I know. But I was referring to the left wing media in general, and since liberals are still mostly on the left wing, the liberals probably would have trusted it.

Don't tell me right-wing media is entirely incapable of making a point. I prefer centrist and unbiased media, but Conservative media (occasionally) can report the truth or make a good point.

It doesn't matter, obviously a 13-year-old can theoretically harm someone. But, if your reaction to a 13-year old getting executed is "WAIT A SECOND, HE MIGHT NOT HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN INHERENTLY HARMLESS", I think we both know what you're actually saying.

There are editors, and most issues are drafted on the forums prior to submission.

Also, unless they changed this since 2016, you can't do issues until your nation's population exceeds 500 million or something.
