This is only slightly related, but a lot of what the left says is tyrannical seems to be more the result of Trump trying to run the presidency like a business than actual malice

I like how this thread is mostly empty and has only joke answers
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

When you read a point do you frame it in terms of left-right? Do you think all points can be such quantified?

Not necessarily, but some points are definitely right-wing, and I'm, uh, sure there are some out there... probably?

I guess there are some decent arguments for strong immigration control? Or economical regulation.

the real question is why you felt the need to click submit

I feel like Panzer having the same avatar has rubbed off on Accountant, Accountant been a lot more blunt lately
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

the guardian tries to do a roundup of right-wing articles except they're always left-wing viewpoints from right-wing sources it's really dumb

There's a lot of monopolies due to government involvement which right wing (maybe just libertarian?) philosophies would probably get rid of

Also there's something to be said that immigration processing is (like anything else managed by government) inefficient to the point of being broken and that's not something Democrats or left-wing ideals address
