@Wolven Isn't the former a prerequisite for the latter, though? Can't make change before you have awareness of an issue.

Just because we can see how horrible it is doesn't mean everyone can.

@AlexanderKingsbury @chrishudsonjr JFC. I have to spell this out for you?

When people talk about the actions of the party, they're talking about the people in control, not minority dissent factions. So, yes, when criticizing the shitty views of the current trash party, the criticism applies only to the majority in control; the minority of reasonable libertarians who are unable to course correct don't count *in the given context*.

Now, either you're trolling me, or you have the attention span of a goldfish and couldn't maintain the conversational context long enough to avoid hitting me with this egregious straw man. Either way, this conversation is over.

@AlexanderKingsbury @chrishudsonjr They don't count because they're in the minority and no longer have control of the party. The Mises Caucus even had some of them (delegates even!) thrown out of the convention.

@AlexanderKingsbury @chrishudsonjr The post you're replying to has four examples. Of them, two are from the party's own accounts. One is from a Mises Caucus account, with the Mises Caucus being the far-right faction within the party that currently controls it. The last is from a presidential candidate of the party this year.

These aren't cherry-picked examples. This is the message the leadership wants to send.

You can't gaslight someone who has receipts.

Holy shit. Notepad++ finally respects my keyboard layout properly. That's a huge game changer.

Folks. Compliment your creatives.

It's crazy how far a small compliment can go.

An anonymous person just submitted feedback for my game pointing out a few places for improvement as well as telling me what she liked about my game. That alone fully refilled my motivation bar for the next week or two.

If you want more cool stuff, don't be afraid to tell the creators how cool the stuff they're creating is. You'd be surprised how much it means.

@AlexanderKingsbury @chrishudsonjr Hmmm...

@DeliaChristina Yuuuup. And the deprogramming never ends. Even years after having this hidden world revealed to me, I still find regularly find myself doing something that seems totally normal to me only to stop and examine and think "wait, what the fuck?"

??!??

Now we've progressed from WTH to WTF.

WTH Steam?
