e: originally i erased this because I didn't "get" that the Fourier thing was just a dunk and Nathan didn't say that but honestly this is pretty funny anyways

Fourier was one of the writers Marx derided as utopianist, and they are all very thread relevant as their unifying factor was they all thought socialism didn't need any violence or revolution, it just needed Organizing

My hot NJR take: while his fall from (relative) grace certainly wasn't worse than being outed as a racist/abuser/sex pest/etc as is traditional on the online left, I gotta say I find it more pathetic by a long shot. Dude had a chance to actually walk the walk and was too much of a lib wiener to accept any perceived loss of status. It's like a real cucking occurred here and he somehow managed to be all 3 parties at the same time

Buuut my assumption for how it all works out is that most of the staffers will have trouble finding work elsewhere because they're would-be unionizers, while NJR himself is able to keep his Turkish Delight habit satisfied by getting diversity-hired by The Atlantic or Mother Jones or one of those other rags as some kind of sop to a left audience they don't actually have

Leon was one of the few who posted here when this thread was asking them to defend their lovely opinions in here instead of running to the mods about the syq. He was the only one who kept posting, which was useful because he had the dumbest opinions of the bunch.

I think if WaPo has to put out an article like a year ago saying "it's unlikely that there is genocide in Xinjiang and we were full of poo poo" that this forum - that is not to say D&D which is more liberal and imperialist than the loving WaPo and NYT and etc, just CSPAM - can at least both-sides this one

Nope, Tarnowski never wrote for any White Wolf derived games to my knowledge, he seemed very much an old school Reagan era DnD guy.

The writer of the RPG game book about misunderstood monsters who hurt people to teach them important lessons, and turned out to be a child molester, was Matt McFarland

I found this which I'm surprised they published at all: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...8ac8_story.html

I know I read an article or opinion piece from a while back that was deeply critical of Western coverage of Xinjiang, and I'm quite certain it was from WaPo. It was posted in CSPAM or D&D. To be fair it's not like they've reversed course obviously: there are dozens of articles every month criticizing China for murdering every Muslim in Xinjiang two or three times each, which is why I'm having trouble finding the one article that pushed back against it a bit.
