Ive been watching it more since that paper

Erdogan likes to consolidate his power whenever possible

paywall

damn

really

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2018/07/turkey-conviction-of-six-zaman-journalists-sends-further-shock-through-an-already-devastated-media-landscape/

that work?

yup

https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/turkish-journalists-sentenced-links-us-based-cleric-56407479

heres another

It'd be interesting, but I think Tim's built up his name enough that he can't do any investigating directly

aaah so apparently they are connected to who Erdogans blaiming for the coup

thats true

I cant wait until I move I'll be so happy to leave this company

although just making a quick vid or something would be nice

get people aware

tbh im suspicious of that coup

It'd be a vid comparing actual persecution of the press to the US media play, to be honest

I wrote about it AS it was happening and how itd effect theyre joing the EU

That's if the EU lasts

thats fine with me

def

EU is trying to fast tract turkey to get more power

Actually, in terms of Turkey and the EU, that Sargon vid with the UKIP guy talking about judicial issues would be interesting

even with the human rights violations and such

true

i think Turkey tends to go unnoticed in the Tuber sphere although i could be wrong

Turkey is hard to talk about.

Kinda funny how much we take our system for granted yet all these other countries have to deal with human rights violations and we get pissed about a tweet

Twitter is the realm of the perpetually offended, they're just doing their self-imposed jobs

But even main stream news outlets

i barely use my twitter because of the bs

I lost trust in the MSM when they started reporting on tweets. If your profession depends on Twitter, I ask you to question your life decisions.

i just retweet weeb shit

yea reporting on tweets drives me nuts

like peter griffon once said "Oh my god WHO CARES!"

Turkey may be hard to talk about but we should still talk about it

"This just in snapchat filters racist?!"

*trying to avoid The Who pun*

lol

We need to hold the media accountable more

But how

Alternative media is rising, replacing it for some people

They have the megaphone and don't want to give it up. Un?fortunately, the public is developing megaphone-ear

If we call out news media we get the "look st you not trusting the media because you voted for trump huh"

legally in some ways

Aside: Is it bad that I'm liking listening to "the Daily Wire" just because I find Shapiro to a horribly bad salesman?

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/steve-ditko-dead-spider-man-creator-was-90-1125489

No

I actually subscribe to them

idk what to think about Shapiro

Same tbh

also RIP

I like klaven but he gets a little too religious sometimes

and RIP spiderman as a good comic lel

Lel

No! A man who decided to put an underage boy in spandex died! (Though, yeah, it's actually sad)

kek

I got into comics late

aw

he also invented The Question and Hawk and Dove

(DC)

introduced to it via a college roommate and Diversity and Comics pushed me to actually start buying them

Side note. Here is the thing though I listen to a lot of podcasts but when it comes to their advertisements I dont really give it any attention

Alot of the OG guys in DC made a ton of characters

I need to listen to more podcasts

candidate i worked for has one i think, but forget what it was

What type of podcast do you want to listen to?

What do you mean?

well the only one I do listen to is Critical Roll lol

D&D podcasts are the best

But kinda want to find a post-apoc one

already listened to all of We're Alive doh

and i dont really want a zombie one

I love love love Hardcore history I classify it as a podcast but I can understand why some wouldn't see it as that

although tbh I might be starting one with a couple friends sooooo there is that

Ooooo

Hell yeah man do it

history would be great

I like when Outside Xbox does D&D, a few years ago I would listen to THAC D&D adventures

nice

Yea i need to coordinate with the other two to schedule it and one isnt very knowledgeable so i gotta get his gf to help him lol

Gonna be called Wasteland Radio

What's it going to be a pity

its also gonna be 18+ lol

*about

random shit mostly

but roleplayed

Very cool

like whats happening in the wasteland today kinda thing

Say it's 19+ for no reason

Lol

and questionare maybe

truuu

throwing people off would make sense with the style we'd be doing so 19+ would honestly work

It started as a private facebook messenger group with some friends and we sent voice messages to each other but it got hard for people to keep up or contribute so it stopped

If you need a punishment, make the person sing the chorus to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lDoBvLxnwQ

then Twitch changed its rules, and youtube got streaming and i was like PERFECT

lol

Id mostly be managing the channel and handle music and skit or topic writing with a few guest appearances. The other two would be the main hosts

fuck kinda wanna listen to weeb music now

I mean who doesn't want to listen to weeb music

filthy normies

kek

Everytime I see the word normies I cut to the scene where Seinfeld says Newman but instead he says normies and I get a right giggle going

lol

i think of the "FUCKING Normies get off my board Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" meme

Never seen it

http://knowyourmeme.com/videos/110171-normie

there are variations

warning if headphones

...now you tell me

sorry lol

i first heard the one where the guy says Reeee

It's fine; didn't click 'til just now

ah

but yea im torn between starting a commentator channel, managing the Post-Apoc roleplay podcast, or somehow doing both

actually itd be more akin to a research channel than commentator, just ill be covering issues

,,,make the Post-Apoc roleplayers find news articles from today 😛 j/k

I mean im trying to get into politics anyway so i figured might as well have a platform if i can

don't do that

ever

truuu like Magog

nah i dont think the other two would want too

maaaaybe one of them but he'd probs want to do something seperate

Antifa zombies would be too on the nose

ghouls

in our lore

we adopted mostly fallout lore

but use metro and wasteland as well

its a mix

ghouls can have some semblance of intelligence, so not a perfect fit 😛

feral ghouls

Are Super Mutants smarter?

thats the real question

Say it's political incorrect to ask

lol

m'race and iq

Hahah

tbh i dont buy race realism for a second

mostly cause i think IQ is bs

I fell into a deep hole with that and I'm very happy I climbed my way back out

i can imagine

People play to their metrics. We're all gamers at heart

The moment my friend said to me in confidence

"You could stay because you're white passing and resemble the white ideology but I dont like that you're race mixing with your girlfriend"

I knew I had lost my path somewhere

Because what the fuck

yikes

Yup

tbh identity politics is garbage in general

like if im being descriptive then sure but to use that as justification for policy or something is rediculous

-_-, I didn't really think people like that existed

The best part is that American white nationalists

Doesnt make any fucking sense

If it was

Ethnostate cant work

go found it on some island

Irish white nationalists then alright I'll give you a small grain of salt but I still think you're silly

at least youll be your own sovereign nation

youll probs collapse doh lol

They couldn't adopt a capitalist engine

i say you as referring to those that support the ethnostate

Because they would have to appease to different groups of people

yea

I know hahah

But yea race realism is dumb

I agree

Identity politics is divisive

Dang, the worst I ever had was a friend forgetting that I wasn't white and then that I was from the South

Something I struggle with might be a good conversation

and ethnostates, even the ones that DO exist arent very viable States

Globalism

As a realist i dont think Globalism will work

In a sense wouldn't globalization be a good thing for global poverty

If we colonize Mars, would Globalism turn into Interglobalism?

^ nice

how about shirt that say stuff like "Antifa is kinda lame, tbh"

or

"Antifa is prett dumb"

I like the kinda lame tbh

"imo, Antifa is kinda whack"

All States are Sovereign and act within their own interests even when supporting other States

hmmm "Antifa....MEH"

What i say is based on Realist theory though

so im biased

If it's a screen capture of the black guy punching that Antifa dweeb, I don't think words would be necessary on the shirt

Dude that on a hoodie

👌🏻

I think the closest thing would be a weird kind of confederation of States similar to the UN that still maintained their Soveriegn Independence but worked largely in the same common interests

@Timcast if you make a bucket hat that says "antifa is whack" I'll buy it

Sci-Fi likes to assume we'd be unified but idk about that

So like the United states but with no federal government

that knockout was fucking glorious

kinda

Very classical liberal

Have a pic of an antifa guy with black goggles on saying: "Shoot, I painted the goggles and now I can't see"

like a weird amalgomation of the US, UN, and EU. Except it would actually have elected positions

I dig it

but States dont have to join either

Absolutely

ensures maintainment of Sovereignty

Do you worry that if we go this way

Also elections would be based on person not party affiliation, with SOME positions filled by already elected officials of member States

That segregation would become a popular state rule

in what way?

Zo

You have the states go there own way in a sense correct? They meet just like a UN

But then govern their state like their own country

https://teespring.com/antifaislame#pid=2&cid=2397&sid=front

Also this would enable, say if we colonize mars or something, they can be independent after reaching a certain threshold of development then have the option to join

its supposed to be minimal effort and utter indifference

use their colors?

@Timcast bucket hat options?lol

Theyd govern their individual States largely independently like with the UN members

Okay

but when its within international interests theyd collaborate

a one punch man aprody of the proud boy would be a good shirt

DO IT TIM

@Timcast Needs more Comic Sans

So like trade might be handled by the international "government"

lol

So would they be allowed to introduce their own laws with no restrictions from the collective group

as would colonization efforts

essentially with maybe a few exceptions

Because then we are given the argument of why shouldn't the state be allowed to decide who comes in and out

like if the State is doing something heinous to its citizens then the international community could act on it

Like it's own immigrant policy

but more to encourage the people of said state to do something

Well itd be looser than the EU so individual States would still maintain their own immigration policies

the only instances of international interference would be if a member starts like a genocide or something

I see

also the weird UN thing would have essentially the Bill of Rights lol

So Germany before the final solution is fine but once the final solution is a go then international interference

so it would be obligated to protect free speech, etc.

If your invading someone that might also be an issue

Am I'm not condoning Germany during that period lol

ideally we want to avoid wars, especially between members

Ofcourse

which is the purpose the UN now and WAS the purpose of the EU

Annexing would be complicated although discouraged

Tbh America is like a UN already but we all have to be peaceful towards each state

also members can leave too based on popular vote like with Brexit

Very important

I agree

We are obligated to be peaceful towards members

non-members too unless there is justifiable reasons

and obviously like before if a member does something especially bad then the rest can do something about it, even if its just kicking them out

As Dubai is to the middle NYC would be to the members

This is all assuming that we are ONLY dealing with Earth bound States
