Yeah, it sure feels at times like I'm invading a conversation between old friends.
Pro: Communism/anarchism, Indigenous rights, MOGAI stuff, bodily autonomy, disability rights, environmentalism
Meh: Animal rights, non-harmful religion/superstition, militant atheism, left-leaning reform of capitalism
Anti: Dyadic superstructure (sex-gender birth designation and hierarchy), positivism, conservatism, imperialism, Zionism, Orientalism, fascism, religious right, bending to reactionary concerns before freedom/common concern, fraudulent beliefs and ideologies

Formerly "Hetalian Indie Rio de Janeiro".

Compass: -10.00, -9.13
S-E Ideology: Demc. Socialist (92% ditto/Marxist, 75% Anarchist/Social democrat, 0% etc)
S-E school of thought: Communist (100% ditto, 96% Post-Keynesian)

Though this says I'm a social democrat, I'm largely a left communist.

Not at all. You're very welcome here. It just seems that way because of how long TET has been going. Most of the regulars have been here a long time, so we're quite familiar with one another.

Quite a few regulars here tend to be on speaking terms for more than a few years, so I understand the sentiment. But feel free to join if you have something to add to the conversation. It's not as if you need permission or something, or maybe nobody dared to correct me when I wormed my way into this realm a few years back.

We don't bite. Most of us don't bite, anyway. But they don't draw blood.

Well okay, they may draw a little blood. But just a little.

I like the thimble. Does this look like the face of mercy?

Also, damn credit card system. Bank robbery was an art form!

Paper monopoly money is where it's at. I never cheated, but keeping an eye on your enemies friends was part of the fun. I'll need to satisfy this Monopoly craving at some point. I've got my PC re-built and Steam account finally set up now.

It's just that those people tend to make themselves impossible without even really trying.

Provided I don't land on the railroads first, I always aim for those. You could have some tough negotiations on your hands before you even attempt such a brazen late-game move. I can just tell playing Monopoly would be fun with you.

I'm a right bastard of a negotiator, trading could take us hours.

I was rather good at monopoly. Though some of the people I played with rage quit when you didn't let them cheat. They were so obvious though.
