Did that thread get spicy? I stopped checking it after a while. I only remember one post where someone had a somewhat strong reaction, comparing it to prostitution.

I thought that was the very first post, but I'm not sure.
People certainly had some pretty strong opinions on it anyway.

Looks to have been nuked, doesn't come up on a forum search. I steered clear of that one.

Non-capitalist and non-democratic, literally North Korea? I can't think of a single other nation that has no form of limited capitalism, unless we go for weird ones like the Vatican.

In fairness, they said "non-capitalist / non-democratic" which can be read as an "or", and there are plenty of non-democratic countries out there. I'm not sure if that is what they meant though, it appears more like they intended to portray capitalism as intrinsically democratic and non-capitalist as automatically autocratic, which is obviously laughable. Fascism, for example, is entirely compatible with capitalism, which is why the capitalist class universally favours fascists over socialists when society gets shit and people start looking for an alternative.

And I’m back.
New profile because another Forum I was on disgusted me, and I had to delete both profiles.

Yes it is Mad Doc.
The other forum was Allthingstabletop. I decided to delete my profile there when folks were frantically masturbating over that submarine tragedy, showing a shocking double standard.

Overall, the inclusion of non-capitalist is meaningless, because virtually no country (depending on your definition) lives up to it. A very laughable view as you say. Being a democracy in name isn't what makes a country great. Sadly there are enough democracies with worse standards of living for the general population than some non-democratic countries, thanks to capitalism, not socialism. American exceptionalism in the present day is just ignorance of the wider world.

Kidding, of course, Tom Six is a big time wanker and noone is interested in distributing it so basically only industry people have seen it, lol.

We should really take that to another thread, but Cronenberg got beef with Tom Six? I thought everyone relevant just pretended he didn't exist.

No, just saying the Cronenberg did that idea in films before. I doubt Cronenberg even knows who Tom Six is...... Anyway, not relevant to this thread at all.
