It's Patriot Front. They've been behind several hate crimes, at least one murder, and planned several more crimes but always get caught because fascist can't threat model and have no fucking OPSec. Including a planned attack on a LGBTQ event in a park where children were present.

You'll find that there are plenty on the left with guns. We just don't make it our whole personality so you don't see it as openly.

Realistically to TC's question though, no. Not in the sense that you are thinking. The likeliest scenario is simply that there are massive protests in all of the largest cities that will be brutally put down by police and DHS (like Portland a few years back) leading to massive unrest and a tanking of the economy, which the Trump administration will be completely unable to deal with due to it being filled with incompetent lickspittles.

What happens then determines the scale of violence that follows. If something to fix the economy doesn't happen then you'll have a shitload of people with nothing to lose. It's always then that things happen if they are going to. The French Revolution and The Russian Revolution especially were triggered by huge chunks of their populations that essentially had very little to lose. They were able to overwhelm and overthrow systems that should have been able to crush fairly quickly.

Thing is, in the scenario, you are looking at the dissolution of the US as a nation. Any left leaning Government installed in that scenario will be viewed as illegitimate by the every single red leaning state and a chunk of blue leaning ones as well. Which means a breakdown into regional factions that are unlikely to be able to control the majority of populations they ostensibly rule. IE China during the Warlord period prior to the Japanese invasion.

Well I mean, DToast is just an employee. Im not sure why people cant seem to grasp this. Its almost para social in a way.

Meaning, folks want something to yell and scream at something so badly that they keep on giving executive traits to DToast that he doesnt even have.

Its all really just being done so that disgruntled users have a collective outlet by which to direct their rage at.

But in reality its like screaming at the Starbucks Barista because the company took away Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

In that regard, I could understand DToast not wanting a bunch of users that fall under his management to go on and be insulting his employer. It just looks really bad, and the blowback (whatever that might be) may actually end up unjustifiably falling onto him.

I mean quite obviously its not his fault that a bunch of users are being very vocal in their displeasure of Fandom, but at the same time it is a very logical assumption that his higher ups are eventually going to ask him please get you all to stop.

but DToast still isnt going to have the executive power to give into the users demands so it probably isnt going to stop, and that really is too bad.

Ultimately by making tons of topics that are basically just saying

youre just making a normal dudes life potentially miserable. Its not cool.

Its better to give legitimate constructive criticism/feedback. Voice your complaints, but in a way that doesnt get DToast pulling his hair in frustration.

Guns, even though they should be the alpha weapons without question they always end up weak as shit in most fantasy games.

Hell not just in most games but other media also.
There was a time when the rate of fire was so slow and bayonets so crappy that if a bunch of dudes with melee weapons got within melee range of you you were kind of fucked. IE Highland Charges during the Jacobite Rebellions. Imagine hundreds, or thousands, of Scottish dudes charging you in wedge formations, usually downhill, firing the guns they had at you in a volley, dropping the guns, taking your volley in response by ducking as low to the ground as they could, then screaming and finishing the charge by taking the point of your bayonet on their targe (type of shield) and then gutting you with either a broadsword or dirk.

It's always something I've found weird for sure. The spear has always been the simplest and most basic weapon humans have us in large numbers in our history. It's just a long pointy stick. You can fancy it up, but when you need weapons in large numbers you can go into the woods, find a long straight stick, sharpen it, and Bam you got yourself a spear.

I don't like the Legion or care for them since people just jumped on it.
I favored Mr. House's outlook if you want me to be crystal clear.
It was my mistake thinking we could have actual discussion on CE rather than a bunch of reactionary gotcha addicts that twist everything to try to rack them up.

I was just going off what was said about the developers and what they wanted the Legion to be. The faction was created to make you recoil but also make you question whether their methods worked in the Wasteland. There is NPC dialogue and lore that blatantly makes you question such things and it's meant to.

Their lands are safe from raiders and other typical wasteland threats but at what cost? That is the main question.
So the thing is, I can listen to Caesar's arguments in the game. I can divorce myself from the world I live in and put myself in the Wasteland. The arguments he makes are coherent and rational. I get them, I understand how he comes by them, I see how they can work. Then I shoot him in the face, because he's a monster.

The society he's trying to build is a monolithic monster wherein the continuation and stability of the society is of more value than the quality of the lives of the individuals in it. Society should serve to provide a framework for the betterment of the individuals in it. Not the other way around. It is, in essence, a sort of post apocalyptic fascism.

nekrodev posted...
The bigger takeaway in this is that a lot of that wealth the top millennials have, was probably not earned by them, it's inherited - or their parents position and influence allowed them to get ahead where others weren't so lucky.

Your average millennial is almost certainly NOT "way ahead" of where their parents were at the same age, if they're doing better AT ALL.

There is a real gap in the millennial generation. Those of us who were out of college (or would have been, I didn't go) and into our jobs several years before the 08 collapse are doing far better than the ones after that. That group I think is called "Elder Millenials" and were born between 81 and 84. We didn't have the crippling loan debt that those came after us did. Most of the people I graduated with in 2000 took on some debt, but it was in the 10-20k range for their bachelor's.

We got lucky, I had an ok job waiting for me out of HS and my wife (Highschool GF) went to college on a full ride at a State School because of her grades and test scores. So we had essentially no debt past other than my car when we got married in 04. That allowed us to save up money and build a house when the market was it's bottom in 09 and builder's were basically begging people to build with them.

Generally the worst off ones I know are the ones who graduated between 2007 and 2011. Especially the ones who came out of college in that time, saw the market collapsing, and just went "well I'll just stay in school, take out more loans, and get my Masters". Which on paper was probably a good bet, but they accrued so much loan debt that they'll never pay it off.

Even now though, we don't make anywhere near that. In a good year we might clear 80k after taxes between the two of us. We only live as well as we do because we don't have kids. Every millennial I know that has kids is miserable and broke.
