Not Online going off on the communists for how they treated his eastern polish family in that nuts and bolts thread after calling out a user for having a profile picture of the soviet flag being raised over the Reichstag.
He does realise what the Nazi plan for them was, right? If it wasn't for the Soviets, they wouldn't have survived to flee communism in the first place. Does that justify how totalitarian communism was after the war? No, but that was still a better outcome for many of those people than Generalplan Ost.

It is pleasing to see the Mod team being active though, let alone banning the worst bigots.

Honestly? They’ve mostly been pretty respectful, with the odd “empty vessel making the most noise”.

Keep in mind his whole “morality and life is endangered” BS is in service of someone who said the right wing backlash in 1930’s Germany was justified to end trans acceptance. Not Online! Is just showing the same true colors he always has.

We are indeed. and they’re yet to offer a response to me pointing out that since GW started diversifying sculpts and skintones, their takings have increased. And whilst there are myriad other changes over the same period, the worst conclusion that can be drawn is surely “it’s had an entirely neutral impact”.

Also, vipoid deliberately misquoting me was rude as all heck. It depends. Most start off fine, but soon expose their own bigotry as soon as people ask for clarification when it’s clear they’re carefully avoiding what their stance actually is.

Yeah, I was trying to remember whether it was him or great big tree who tried claiming that all the housing in Warsaw that was built after the war went to communist party officials. It's a laughable claim, as the Nazis systematically destroyed around 85% of the entire city after the Warsaw uprising towards the end of the war.

It's a laughable claim, as the Nazis systematically destroyed around 85% of the entire city after the Warsaw uprising towards the end of the war. I don't think it was GBT. IIRC, 97% of Warsaw was flattened. It was one of the most comprehensively destroyed cities in the war, and that was because the Nazis got the bulldozers and demolition charges out. I remember that claim. Anyone spending more than 10 minutes in Poland can see the sheer number of USSR-era concrete apartment blocks still in use and see the absurdity of that claim. They are EVERYWHERE. They also mostly replaced overcrowded, ancient slums that largely lacked modern amenities like plumbing or electricity.

I understand the opposition to the iconography of what was also an authoritarian regime, but that sort of discussion always comes across a little too similar to that PragerU video that lowkey states we should find communism worse than fascism/nazism. Just gloss over all the differences to pretend one wasn't inherently worse from its theoretical/ideological core and ignore the problem of authoritarian regimes being an issue across the spectrum.

Is now the time for Privateer Press to solve their woes by pivoting from being the "Competitive" side of fantasy/sci-fi wargaming to being the "Male safe-space" place for wargaming. After all, play like you got a pair! /Sarcasm in the above postPrivateer press really tried to distance themselves from that sentence afterward so I guess the new champions of all male space will be some other company.

As someone who was there? They used to sponsor the London Marathon. And it’s a sweet name for a source of obesity.
No need on that!
