[R] Poss. Trolling "Idaho Child Marriage"

[The Free Joy State]

Using words like "barbarians from the East" seems borderline, and calling for a government similar to that of the Nazis seems designed to get a reaction.

It also seems unrelated to the topic of the thread:

We're essentially letting barbarians from the east (figuratively speaking) to invade our homelands and destroy our values and traditions and worse, allowing them to out breed and out compete with our nations and peoples. Nazi Germany at least had the best interests of Germanic civilization at heart, even if that would've come at the expense of Semitic and Slavic civilization. The Nazis were a government that actually cared about cultivating and micromanaging a national image, culture, and direction or destiny. Only a regime along a similar vein, could serve as the savior for the west.

I was on a brief tangent and it was a political argument outlining my current sentiments that helps paint why my views are what they are on this issue, rather than merely being to upset people. I did go back to connecting the topic to my previous statement afterwards or at least that was my intention. I plead some leniency on this, as I've already been hit quite hard this year. Harder than any other year.

I'm not sure what happened to make me lose my "Teflon" with Moderation figuratively speaking, but I think the enforcement has changed and I haven't yet sufficiently adapted rather than me intentionally being out to break every rule here. That, or there are too many people who're out to get me deleted because I've burned too many bridges and they're jumping on any minor misstep to get me punished. My perception is that I haven't changed my normal habits, but the frequency of people reporting me for every minor thing has significantly increased not to my advantage.

A big misconception is that I'm unwilling to follow the rules here, I am. I really do want to be in compliance because it is a real pain to constantly be having people report me and needing to frequently check this board at the right hour because someone doesn't want me here. But as it stands, I don't necessarily agree to the spirit of many of the rules in place. I have less flexibility in regards to thought if I only ever went with whatever has the least risk so far as posting content is concerned.

Most of Saiwania's posts from that point on are at tangents to the topic, prompted by questions from other posters, and I don't see that particular comment as trolling.

Saiwania, you've had an unofficial 'knock it off' from Reppy over the same 'barbarians from the east' comment as minor thread-jacking previously, so I'd suggest you take this in the same vein: keep it on-topic.

I'm going to rule this non-actionable.

The 'figuratively speaking' makes it clear that 'Barbarians from the East' is not to be taken literally, and it's not against the rules to support National Socialism's approach to 'micromanaging a national image, culture, and direction or destiny'.

It can be argued that it's difficult to separate the latter from the NSDAP's murderous approach to Slavs and Jews, but that's a reasonable debate point.

And if one brief tangent is enough to get people warned, then I might as well DEAT most of NSG on the spot.

When mods collide...

But given we're independently in agreement, clearly there's nothing requiring further action here.
