  Proud Boys designated as a terrorist group
Posted by: robkelk - 02-03-2021, 01:04 PM - Forum: Politics and Other Fun - Replies (6)

At least, they are in Canada as of today, along with a dozen other white nationalist and neo-Nazi groups.

Quote:The federal government will now classify the Proud Boys (a neo-fascist organization with chapters in Canada and the U.S.), the Atomwaffen Division, AWD (a group that calls for acts of violence against racial, religious and ethnic groups), and the Base (another neo-Nazi organization that advocates for violence to incite a race war), as terrorist entities under the Criminal Code.

The government considers these three groups, along with another new addition, the Russian Imperial Movement (a Russian paramilitary group with ties to neo-Nazi groups worldwide), as "ideologically motivated violent extremists."

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) defines the term as extremism driven by a range of grievances and ideas from across the traditional ideological spectrum.

It is not necessarily a crime to be a member of these groups, but designating an organization as a terrorist entity can have serious criminal and financial consequences.

Banks can now freeze assets and police can charge anyone who financially or materially supports such a group.

After all, it was booked and paid for months ago.

No word yet from the court, but I'm betting it's gonna be a big "no".

  Things Are Tough All Over
Posted by: DHBirr - 02-01-2021, 08:52 AM - Forum: Politics and Other Fun - Replies (1)

Speaking of coups d'état....

It must feel like old times for Aung San Suu Kyi, and not in any good way, being locked up by Myanmar's military "government" again.

And it was about alleged voter fraud.  The Dotard is looking on in envy.

  [OOC] "The hero's path"
Posted by: robkelk - 01-29-2021, 09:26 PM - Forum: The Attic - Replies (5)

One might recall that my SI was geased to "continue to walk the hero's path, else when he dies his soul will be taken by [Garm's] mistress", in Donaldson en Kazakiri.

But just what is the hero's path?

I'm curious as to how others would answer that question, so that I can get a better handle on how my SI should be behaving. Starting off the discussion, let's hear from some fictional characters who might end up becoming displacees:

Quote:If one truly is to have the right to be called a Hero, it's not because he wields a sword or because he holds a shield. Not because he heals, either. A Hero is one who risks his own life, to protect his companions, to save the woman, he wagers himself. It doesn't matter if you're beaten. It's fine if you're crushed. Weep all you want. Because the victor is always found among the losers. Drive your wish through. Cry out your desire. Do that, and that is when a Hero looks most impressive!
- Hermes, Bell Cranel's grandfather, and Bell Cranel, speaking in turns, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, season 1, episode 13

That seems like a pretty good starting point to me. But is there anything else?

  Marjorie Taylor Greene just keeps piling on the crazy
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 01-29-2021, 02:47 PM - Forum: Politics and Other Fun - Replies (17)

According to Georgia Republican Greene, the 2018 California wildfires were started by a secret space laser operated by Jewish financiers. (Article includes other items in her heap of crazy.)

She's also apparently been threatening Democratic Representative Cori Bush in the halls of Congress, to the point that Bush has had her office moved away from Greene's out of concern for her and her staff's safety.

At least one major Republican operative is openly calling Greene "insane".

  Trump: KGB Asset

According to a book written by a former KGB operative, Trump was groomed for nigh on forty years as a KGB asset. The article is an interesting read.

  Live Action "Sandman" Cast Announced
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 01-28-2021, 04:02 PM - Forum: General Chatter - No Replies

Netflix is going to be doing a live-action version of DC's Sandman, and they've just formally announced what look like almost all the primary cast members.  Interestingly, Death isn't among them, which begs the question, is she in the show at all, or are they still looking?  The article is annoyingly uninformative on that front.
