  • It goes for the players among each other too. It’s not just the one character in OP that dislikes or distrusts the party. It’s up to the rest of the party to also accomodate them. If you have a moral character in the group you might refrain from murdering, raping and pillaging for shits and giggles.

    As they say “the only way to have a friend is to be one”.




  • The immigration cannot be stopped without seriously inhumane measures like shooting at people who try to cross your border. And even that will barely make a dent. I’m not giving up my humanity for a few percent drop in immigration. The immigration situation in Europe is born of the knowledge that if you want this to happen peacefully you have to give immigrants a shot at making a life here without having to turn to crime.

    The fact that this bothers you is more proof of the succes of right wing propaganda than anything else.

    If you look at the past there have always been people moving about, sometimes they successfully integrated or mixed cultures, sometimes it was genocide in one direction or the other. Hard measures like seriously closing borders are bids for war.



  • Yes, problem is that there often is gradual change that is not seen enough. I don’t live in the US, the healthcare system there that bleeds the state and the population spectacularly is incomprehensible to me. I don’t understand how there is not a new Nintendo character doing his thing every week, given the cruelty combined with the amount of desperate people who have guns.

    I live in a country in the EU that has institutions that rather constantly get updated and change to try and keep up with the needs of society (and the need for politicians to show how useful they are).

    The constant change is somewhat exhausting to be honest as the agency where you apply for something today might not exist next year, the requirements for applying for the same thing might be different next month…

    Yet even here right wing gains every election because they present a world view with simple solutions to complex problems.



  • So if “the status quo” inevitably leads to fascism, the only way to avoid fascism would be a society that is in constant change? Well, for one thing, every society is in constant change unless you install some kind of religious dogmatic dictatorship, and even those break after some time under the stress of sociological pressures.

    Fascism, or things very much like it, happen whenever you let fear mongering powerhungry fools who deny reality in favor of some kind of nostalgia infused “greater” image of your society get away with their bullshit.

    Human leadership leads to fascism at some point, because humans love their fears and their tribal behavior.
