It's not JUST you, but it is you. The KZfaq algorithm pushes you towards content you've watched and liked, so the RPG Content aimed at players (mostly character building and character optimization 🤢, but also other player focused content) is kinda filtered out for you

@@Naren25 Yeah, that makes sense. Did a quick google search and there are quite a lot of huge channels that make actual plays and comedy type of stuff that do seem to fly under my algo's radar. Interesting.

It was, or 'Noblins' as we called it.

That's not what's going on though, is it? This is a bunch of thick racists causing shit for no reason.

Read the full context of the paradox of tolerance, which doesn't limit mere speech. Same with the harm principle.

@@PostmortemVideo okay, I'll read some more, what source would you recommend for those?

Here's the necessary (emphasis mine): "Less well known [than other paradoxes] is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. IN THIS FORMULATION, I DO NOT IMPLY, FOR INSTANCE, THAT WE SHOULD ALWAYS SUPPRESS THE UTTERANCE OF INTOLERANT PHILOSOPHIES; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.!

@@PostmortemVideo thank you. So this part: "as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise". I don't think we're achieving this. If the riots, if the support for the right in the election (split between two parties but it's undeniably there), if the left-wing party shifting to the right on immigration, if the media and social media pandering to the right are anything to go by, the right is being largely unchallenged by any rational arguments and are influencing public opinion. And it seems very unlikely that in this environment, more rational arguments would be allowed enough of a voice to counter the far right.

I don't think we've been trying it. For a decade or so it has been about censorship, deplatforming, not arguing against their ideas to the point where I think a lot of people have forgotten how.

Glad to help pull you back from the brink. The people trying to exploit this are... I'm just so disgusted I can't put it into words.

They don't want these jobs, and we can't fill them. The depressive effect of immigrant labour is extremely minimal. They believe that stuff, but it's not that true - at least here.

I'm right there in the video.

Covid didn't come from a lab, the masks thing was done for legitimate reasons (preserving supply for frontline workers), the grooming gang thing is a lot more complex than has been presented. Overall though, yes, truthfulness and honesty, authenticity, should be valued - but it's not.

The 'documentary' being about the other time he was arrested for dangerously pointing the finger at the wrong person before. He's in contempt of court for showing it, in which he repeats libellous statements about a Syrian refugee. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/jul/29/tommy-robinson-flees-uk-on-eurostar-amid-contempt-of-court-proceedings www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jul/22/tommy-robinson-loses-libel-case-brought-by-syrian-schoolboy And as we've seen, such disinfo can lead to violence.

I agree that my way is the best way of dealing with these issues, but sadly in many cases it's now too late for that because not enough people have done it before.

I took the Farage image from his 'just asking questions' video. Both have engaged in disinformation on this, and other events. Me pointing out their horrendous behaviour and contributions is amelioration of the harm they've caused, not harm. Don't carry water for actual fascists.

@@PostmortemVideo I am at this moment opposing someone who wants to empower the state so it is able to prosecute speech based on *potential* harm. That demonstrates where I stand on the topic of Fascism, clearly. You have not pointed out anything. In your ramble you have made allusions and employed innuendo, nothing more. Neither of the two has engaged in the disinformation this video is chiefly about. Be at ease though. This incident will be forgotten within a month, as just one more of the half dozen riots in Britain of July 2024^^

Not just potential harm in this case.

@@PostmortemVideo As yes, do away with the little known legal concept of "causation", so we can curtail more speech... Grim's Law: Speech may be curtailed if: 1) The state claims a potential harm that could be caused by the spech. 2) There is a harm the state can point to. In this case no chain of causation need be established between speech and harm. Grim. Take the news agencies who recklessly reported the fake news to court for damages. Take the people who knowingly and maliciously set this rumor into the world to court for agitation, incitement and damages. I am fine with this! I am no expert on British law, but I am pretty sure you need not change laws for this! What I am criticizing is that you are advocating for changing the law in an authoritarian way, so people who have not agitated, and not spread misinformation in this case, could be punished in this case. What I am criticizing is that you, through innuendo, are implying that two people spread misinfo on this, when they did not. And you are doing so in full knowledge of it being wrong, because you do not like them. That is mental. Your elephant is taking you through the entire village. Additionally: If it was a Muslim, what does that change?! No misinformation, so all is good? It still is not OK to attack a holy site because of it, Grim! You are acting like there would be a moral difference if he had been a Muslim, and they attacked the Mosque because of it.

@@solanumlycopersicum5594 Harm principle isn't my idea. Farage's disinformation took the form of 'just asking questions', rioters have been repeating calls and chants from the Robinson 'protest'.

Much cheaper than paying for drugs.

That would seem to be the rough outline of people being berks, yes.

British born, don't pretend like you give a fuck about those kids.

Often such kids are given dual citizenship. "While it is normal for the new born baby to inherit the citizenship of parents, it is also possible for the child to acquire supplemental “airplane” citizenship, based on the airspace owned by the state. If the birth happens in no territory, the nationality of vessel will take precedence." Silly comparison anyway, his parents immigrated, but are British citizens. He was born here and is a British citizen. End of.

British is a nationality. He is British, and you just tore off your own figleaf. Go be racist elsewhere.

Nope, hence the saying. The gathering of data is a structured process that seeks to compensate for selection and other biases. But you already gave your bias at the very start.

Thanks for watching!

And this was a day after I was starting to cool off a bit. I'll be honest, I don't know of many gaming channels like yours. It's refreshing to have an oasis of better coverage in a mostly dry desert of ignorance, culture wars, and just so much petty behavior. But, what's it worth if I keep frustrating myself? At least we shared a moment in the D6 System coming back. Glad to know we have that in common, even though I'm not sure your D6 Gor game is for me and you addressed that well in your D6 Gor Q&A video.

When I jest, it's good natured. 'Banter' as we say here in the UK.

@@PostmortemVideo I'd like to hope so. "No Yiffing" and then some are heavily tired jokes as I'm concerned... Decades of being a punchline tends to do things to you, after all. I'm sure you've dealt with equivalents throughout this tabletop fandom.

If I may suggest, polish up an elevator pitch for the game. Sell the experience. Why do you love it, and why is it objectively fun? Extra credit for specifically appealing to each person's favorite aspects of role-playing games. I would say something like, I think Dark Sun is awesome because it's about desperate adventurers in a setting that is like a regular D&D setting turned upside down. We get to play gladiators, soldiers, secret magicians. We get to play the dark Lords troops or an underground resistance, or a mercenary band trying to keep their freedom by risking their lives. I think that you(your friend or prospective player) will like it because you love unique fighters and playing the underdog(reason they like ttrpgs). Hope this helps. On a personal note, Dark Sun is cool. Definite John Carter of Mars influenced. Sword and Sandal and Psionics. Post spell-pocalypse, high fantasy turned on its head, religion is both weirder and more realistic and literally bone-bending earth-shattering magic. Ooh and xenophobic cannibal halflings!

@@beardyben7848 , thanks for your lengthy reply. I don't have any problems selling weird stories to players, I have the problem of defining it at the table, especially when players start to default to the fantasy tropes that they know and having to interject. e.g. Dark Sun Player - "I ride into town on my horse!" GM - "Well.... the town is a city slum that arose around the God King's ziggurat. Also horses went extinct several millenia ago, during the Cleansing Wars, so you are riding a giant tick called a kank. Along the kanks back are nodules, filled with honey-like nectar that help you survive the open desert without water. Player - "W...T...F..."
