New Rule: Replace the Word "Lynch" in Games

[Haschel Cedricson]

why is there a blair and and a clair I hate this

I love it personally

wish I could say the same for their posts but I have been conditioned over many years to absorb huge quantities of disappointment

Somebody check out Flair and see if they're alright.

[vonflare]

RED TEXT OF TRUTH!11!

regardless of their good nature

Lol.

So your saying all cops are evil now or something?

You saying cops in general have a good nature is a stupid thing to say.

When my grandma died a couple years ago in our house while I was taking care of her, a cop was the only one who cared enough to comfort me after she died. There are many like me who never had a shoulder to cry on but when I needed it most, it was a police officer there. There are people who just want to feel safe, and know there's people watching out for them.

Don't be a piece of shit and assume they're all bad.

Learn to read dipshit.

I accepted the new policy in my first post and acknowledged that it wasn't deep enough to fight over anyway. Since then I've been shitposting. Not sure why that's so disappointing.

Ythan, please.

Don't be a piece of shit

Please don't call other users pieces of shit

Then please stop the hate speech against the profession that actually cared enough about me to see if I was okay when I had nobody else in my life.

[Ythan]

It's hate speech to say cops aren't universally good.

Lol.

[vonflare]

it's a charged discourse that understandably brings out a lot of emotions from anyone involved, regardless of their views

[Blair]

One of you thinks they're mostly good with some bad apples. The other thinks they're mostly bad with some good apples.

Any interpretation that glosses over that is bad faith.

[Chemist1422]

it's been like, two hours since this got posted, can it not turn toxic this fast please

anyway good change imo

[Haschel Cedricson]

Tell me, how does the whole quote about bad apples go?

It is not my job to educate you in ACAB. It is a legitimate form of protest which is recognised as a way to try and change the police. It doesn't mean that All Cops are literally Bastards, but moreso that the current way of policing in the USA, and other countries, needs reform

[DkKoba]

a "good" apple that defends a bad apple and doesn't do anything to remove the bad apple is a bad apple in the end

there I explained why people say all cops are bad

nvm it's actually me being disappointing and losing track of who's who in the conversation

Many, many apologies.

[Blair]

There are certain professions where it isn't really acceptable to have some bad apples. Police and aircraft pilots fit nicely in this category. We can probably agree there.

It would be great to live in a world in which everybody had only these kinds of experiences with cops. Unfortunately,

[Cheetory6]

That wouldn't be consistent with my stated argument, so your bad faith mind reading attempt is noted.

It felt like your jokeposts were being made to illustrate your distaste with the rule change, was an overreaction on my part to associate what you were saying with ABR even if I don't care for the jokes.

[Ythan]

Belly laugh.

[xyzzy]

all cops are bastards, and I want to be extremely clear: I

do

mean this as a moral judgment on their souls

elsa the fact that a cop was nice to you once doesn't change the fact that that cop -- and every cop -- is complicit in systemic white supremacy

[xyzzy]

also while we're on the topic of changing the mafia role "cop", here's my proposal: a cop is a mafia-aligned player for whom any night action they perform has a 40% chance of failure because they're busy committing domestic assault that night

I know I was predicting that closing the US Politics thread would result in spillover across multiple threads, but this was not quite the way I envisioned it playing out
