Yes, but it's all because of

-Generals
-Quests
-Lack of Quests
-Mods
-Nu/tg/
-Old/tg/
-SJW'S
-/pol/
-Elves
-Dwarves
-GW
-Matt Ward
-WOTC

It's all because of Them. It's so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Equally true, and more concise.

This man speaks the Truth.

Ok, wow, I didn't even notice that as I was posting.

What do I do now?

You praise him, brother.

fuck off with this shitty meme

Fuck Hereti-Kek. My allegiance lies to the Dice Gods, the Emprah, and Lady Luck.

Kek makes your triples fail.

I feel like I saw this list yesterday.

I nicked off the guy who posted it in the Set Releases discussion.

Bless you Sir Pratchett.

not the rngoddess
you are asking for a smiting

Lady Luck goes by many names.

>blaming everyone else and trying to take the heat off the furries
Don't think I'm not into you

I'm flattered user, but I'm seeing someone else at the moment.

Larson was right.

hey anons here.
been meaning to ask
how many /pol/ threads have there been here in the last little while.
I'm starting to think that people are jumping at shit.

Well, yeah, that's pretty obvious, as per
That's why there are still the same amount of problems as there were before several scapegoats were removed.

Loads. There's a thinly veiled trump and hillary thread up RIGHT NOW.

where?
what's the name

See

We haven't had a single thread about kidnapping the modern president before this /pol/ shit, but suddenly we constantly have to talk about presidents in one way or another.

There was the Hitler MTG card, the Hitler Stat Me, etc.

i see
didn't notice it
honestly i think this shit is... whatever it is when you see something and you notice seeing that more then otherwise.
i don't often see them which is why i asked why it's a lot.
>fucking trump
why must there be so many burgerlanders

that's pretty lame

yeah, but hitler isn't modern politics.
At least I fucking hope it's not.

There are so many burgerlanders because we made the mistake of preventing secession.
So many of burgerland's problems would be solved if we went with how the constitution works and let those who didn't want to be part of the government split off.
Instead, we STILL are at each other's throats.

With /pol/, Hitler is always involved. They're like some sort of black whole of stupidity generated(or validated) by Godwin's Law.

wouldn't that end up with a massive American civil war. the more populated states tearing up the less equipped.....that would make America Europe.
sounds fun

I've never liked Godwin's law
godwin is a faggot
and generally speaking there are things that are actually equitable to the nazis.

No see, we HAD the massive american civil war where that happened.
Instead, we should have NOT had the civil war.

What possible setup would have made a 3rd party win.

If anything that makes him a hero for keeping hillary out.

i would have assume that the contested boarders would lead to a bunch of wars.
particularly as during that time if the south left the union they would be economically stronger because of their slavery.
that would definitely lead to a war

I would rather have a literal supervillain who had the stated goal of stealing all the world's monuments than either candidate.

But the north won largely through their economic might and weight of bodies.
The south really had not much going on at the time.

Better to bring him in after trump that way he will waste a few years digging up the wall.

I heard the south was richer in general because of the whole cheap labour and shit.
even that the loss of slavery would cause great trouble with your economy and was as such avoided during your rebellion.
then again it might just be your south trying to prop itself up.

>if the south left the union they would be economically stronger because of their slavery
Slavery was actually holding the southern states back economically. It's incredibly impractical.

Yeah, the south basically only had cotton and slaves. They weren't producing much at all economically at the time, and were being fucked by lack of northern automation.

It wasn't until later they became more economically powerful. Largely because of oil refineries. Aint called texas tea for nothing.

Put down your memes, unbeliever, and bow before the power of Kek Undivided!

>Slavery was actually holding the southern states back economically. It's incredibly impractical.
how so
generally large agrarian protects benefit from having slaves, not so much the common man.
Then again southerners might not be able to grow money crops like sugar

The only money crop they were growing was cotton.
One of the primary reasons they got fucked during the war was because cotton prices were tanking due to improved methods elsewhere.

Slavery did prop up the economy of the South, to some extent, but not a large one. A small group of powerful people (slaveowners) had a lot to gain from having slaves and little to lose.

The problem with slavery is that it's a fucking horrible allocation of human capital. Slaveowners tell slaves what to do and they do it. It doesn't consider the individual talent of the slaves, their preferences for work, or any other possible market forces.

Even on an economic level slavery is garbage. Once you consider the morals it becomes the greatest horror in American history.

Congrats on your successful attempt in derailling the thread. That was flawless.

sorry user, the civil war and its lasting repercussions are interesting to me.
SO many electoral and economic problems are traceable back to those days.

Cant we all be friends?

nah, the group is too large for that now.
We've got to kick people out now.
It's our development stage.
