@Felthry @mkosler I assume in this context, "left" would refer to political alignment. The white nationalists and nazis found a way to game the Twitter harassment auto-ban system and have been abusing it to get leftist accounts shuttered.

@LexYeen Chances are pretty good. I love the way White Wolf's systems work, and their settings are usually pretty interesting.

@LexYeen Mage is the one White wolf game I haven't had any experience with.

@Sparrow That there is an *excellent* game. I hope you enjoy it! :D

(psst! You should totally make more toots about it so I can vicariously enjoy that game again as you play through it :D :D)

@Ulfra_Wolfe@witches.town *gentle hugs* I can relate to that feeling. If you need someone to talk to, I'm around.

@literorrery @zebratron2084 That is absolutely valid.

@zebratron2084 @literorrery It's all good, hon.

Stuff like this, by the way, is why I cut so much slack for those SJW kids you rag on so much. ~.=.^

@PaulFerence Welcome, friend!

I was born and raised in Minnesota (Mankato, specifically) and lived there for many years.

As far as supporting anti-nazi and anti-fascist groups are concerned, you're in very good company, here. ^^

@zebratron2084 @literorrery I can't speak for everyone of course, but I wouldn't back a movement that wasn't well considered-- but I absolutely will enthusiastically support the excitement of the base that will inevitably produce such a movement.

Fight or flight sucks; it teaches us to display anger in public opposition and compassion in private-- and it hurts to switch those things around, but that's how social progress is made.

@literorrery @zebratron2084 So when folks say "communism is some good shit" they probably have an ideal form in mind that's never actually been tried on a large scale.

@zebratron2084 @literorrery I know you know that socialism isn't a form of governance, it's an economic platform. The closest thing we have to the practices of socialism in the form of a system of governance is loosely defined as "communism" with many many many different methods and applications named after the dictators who attempted to put their method in practice.

As a result, "Communism" is frequently used as an umbrella term for socialist governance.

@zebratron2084 Communism's got problems for sure. Good thing we have this republic democracy hybrid with no problems whatsoever!
