Would anyone be interested in joining a game with some friends of mine and I?
I have 3 friends that I would like to introduce to the game, but can't seem to talk anyone else into playing with us for a full Ancient Med game. Just a casual, low-bet game, probably 2 day turns.

@ND, that is a similar argument to why I should no longer venerate Washington and Jefferson: because if something has a flaw, you want to throw out the accomplishment that they achieved for all of us. Even if the progressive movement had flaws, it is known for its accomplishments -- and before you yell "gotcha Robert E Lee". Lee's accomplishment was to further the goals of slavery...a taint that cannot be washed clean.

I was expecting something so horrific that I would have to change my political idealogy. I refuse to support racism and eugenics. Im just glad the Republican party and all its constituents are perfect - ordained by god - and free from any historical wrongdoing.

If I ended up supporting the wrong side of history id be pretty ashamed when I have to bear my sins before god someday.

This is just a small sampling about the Progressive Movement. As you can see the Progressives were really big racists, eugenicists, and into forced sterilization, etc.

I hope this enlightened all of you "progressives" about your dark history associated with racism, sterilization, and eugenics. This stuff makes me sick. Some real sicko progressives.

http://www.uvm.edu/~lkaelber/eugenics/

"American eugenics refers inter alia to compulsory sterilization laws adopted by over 30 states that led to more than 60,000 sterilizations of disabled individuals. Many of these individuals were sterilized because of a disability: they were mentally disabled or ill, or belonged to socially disadvantaged groups living on the margins of society. "

I read this entire link and found no link to the Democratic party of today or of then.


http://nypost.com/2016/03/21/the-progressive-movements-horrible-racist-history/

Read this and it made me ashamed Woodrow Wilson was a Democrat. Sounds like he was a racist douche. As was the rest of the party at the time. Still not sure if this has even 1 Iota of relevance to today or if you just want to harken back to the time where uniquely in history the Republican party was less bigoted.

https://mises.org/library/progressive-era-economics-and-legacy-jim-crow

Went to this site more about why Woodrow Wilson was horrible, why Jim Crow laws were terrible . Then the article strangely tries to claim democrats went after Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb and that this was comparable to sterilization and racism. Interesting?

Here is where the article tries to sell its point saying modern liberal thinking is identical to the progressive era:

"
Government cannot regulate an increasing supply of goods into existence, period; it only can reduce that supply because regulation adds costs to production and the distribution of goods.

Progressive Policy as an Extension of Jim Crow

So, where does Progressivism and Jim Crow fit into this picture? The answer is disarmingly simple, yet rejected even by modern black Progressives who seemingly have embraced the very economic doctrines that help hold back African-American economic progress.

Regulation by government by definition restricts economic output, thus creating economic rents that are distributed, at least in part, on a political basis. Thus, people who are best politically-connected will be at the head of the line and those not connected will be at the back. It is that simple. The history of Progressive labor laws, especially those from earlier in the twentieth century, are a history of blatant attempts by powerful white labor unions to legislate black workers out of the workplace altogether."

Implication is that social democracy only rewards the people well connected and first in line. Simply a silly argument. But ill let you explain why its true.

My point is about how the Progressive movement has a dark racial legacy tied to sterilizations, racism, and eugenics and anyone who uses that label should know what they are labeling themselves.

The Republican party on the other hand fought a war to end slavery, tyranny, and fought for all people's rights under the constitution for 150+ years.

"Well, the policies during TR's era would seem reactionary by today's standards, but if you point was that the Republican Party should adopt the progressive spirit that TR demonstrated, then I agree with you @leon."

No, I mean I like the actual policies, not the "progressive spirit", though back in the day progressives were actually the biggest proponents of Voter ID, which they seem to have abandoned now that it no longer benefits them. I like Teddy's position on the environment more than that of the present day Republican Party. I'm pretty sure the Republican Party also wasn't as accepting of gay marriage, drugs, etc. back then.

Are there any otherkin on this site? I'm genuinely curious to understand this culture more. If you identify as something non-human, do you think you have a right to get the privileges that all humans deserve? Or do you believe you're in a separate category and thus have different standards and base rules to start off with?
