I think you’re confusing “being unpopular” with “being unwelcome and insulting because it gets me attention that hanging around with people who agree with me wouldn’t.”

Normal humans are flies to Sororitas, too, they just have different power armor because “reasons.”
Hell. Even the player character in Darktide would be a fly next to a single Repentia sister. (Those ones are basically naked, for reference.)

Good morning, sleep okay?
And I think you’re assuming a lot of things.
That sounds like a you problem if you’re convinced that its manufactured outrage.

We’ve all seen this movie before. You enjoyed starting this thread, didn’t you?
The friend who got me into 40k, who owns every book and plays the tabletop regularly, does not care. Anecdotal, but I can’t think of a more diehard fan. He’s spent tens of thousands on the game.

No, I don’t like that I had to start it at all. I’d rather be leveling my new shaman right now.
you didnt have to start it period.
I’m not the one acting like a few idiots crying about overpriced resin are some vast majority.
And what, right wing culture warriors using fake orgs or other techniques to disguise how unpopular they are? Like all the various "moms for " or "parent’s " groups that end up being one or two people mailing out a ton of form letters to get tv shows cancelled? Or the sad puppies or whatnot upset that other people were writing Sci-fi and winning awards that should have gone to their favorite writers writing the same old plots still?

Too ridiculous of a ban not to.
enjoy your forum ban then.
The next ban will be a month, so when you don’t do anything wrong next time, make sure you don’t do anything wrong somewhere else.

Don’t believe you, but i’ll play. Does your “right-leaning” including…lets say…hurting people, possibly including “camps” of some kind or as the candidate recently said in his speech; reenact the purge irl.

Every society has standards it enforces. The “right” side (for lack of a better label) used to control those standards to a large degree and enforced them against everyone else. The tables have since turned, and they are the “side” experiencing the standards (the new ones) being enforced against them. That’s all this is. There are always standards, and if you are “on the outs” with the standard makers you will chafe under them. End of.
So, yes, your opinions are more out of line than they were when your “side” was making the rules about what was in and out of bounds. Rather than complaining about that, it woud be better for you to accept this normal social development process, focus on other things, and try to be a better person – if you do that, someday you may understand why your perspective “lost”, and why it’s best that it did, and you will come to accept the new perspective as better. At the very least, you won’t be nearly as angry and defensive, because you won’t be focused on the grievance associated with losing social power.

Nope. I don’t believe in being violent for any reason.
This is some quality bait. OP dangled the obvious and the community couldn’t help themselves.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there is a replacement for Trump. But as you intimate, that’s both a good and a bad thing.
Trump being a neurotic mess was and is terrible in a general sense. However, politically (on my side of the aisle, at least), it proved to be somewhat beneficial (or at least not as dangerous) because those neuroses prevented him from being as politically effective as he could’ve been given the strength of support he had from his party.
The most effective thing he did politically was the appointment of three Supreme Court justices, and more specifically, those Supreme Court justices. The rub is that it’s obvious that Trump neither knows nor cares about American jurisprudence. He simply rubber-stamped names given to him by Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society, which is what they wanted and why they (and many others) held their nose at Trump all through 2015 and 2016. He was their useful idiot, and so long as he didn’t blow up the world, if they could get him to do at least two simple things (such as massive tax cuts and a strong Conservative Supreme Court), their support for someone like him was well worth it.
However, replace Trump with someone who was a much more effective political operator, and many of the dangers of a Trump presidency that didn’t come to pass would’ve, and in significantly worse ways. Because of that, like you, I’m not worried about another Trump. I’m worried about someone who genuinely believes the stuff that Trump and his ilk spit out, but has the political acumen, intellectual foundation, and mental and emotional stability to pull it off.
The influencers don’t want power, they want money. The current politicians want power, but they’re stuck navigating a political era fraught with landmines from both the Democrats and their fellow Republicans. The candidate I can imagine is someone sufficiently rich enough to where they have freedom to say what they want, but also rich enough to where their goal is accruing direct political power (not merely using their money to guide policy). This is probably someone from the tech space, but not necessarily a founder or CEO of a tech company, but possibly someone from the VC or PE world that focuses on tech. Young, between 40-55, with just enough charisma to where the “tech-weirdo” taint is mitigated, but not so smooth where they rub the average voter the wrong way.
What I’m about to say is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but if Vivek were white and Christian, he’d almost be that ideal, most dangerous GOP candidate.
