“It's the Jews”
Extreme: Jews only exist as a victim group and exercise no power.
Sensible Centre: Jews have a responsibility to prevent extremists who speak in their name, such as Jonathan Greenblatt and his ADL group, from eroding our civil liberties.
""Sensible" centrism:
Democracy is a lie
Black people inherently uncivilized
No school for women
Overthrow all extant institutions
Christianity on strictly utilitarian basis
It's the Jews
These are the positions of the silent majority? This framing is highly suspect." - Anglo Ortho

This case against a UK veteran street preacher ended up settling, but the Crown Prosecutions argument during the court preceding was:
“There are references in the Bible which are simply no longer appropriate in modern society and which would be deemed offensive if stated in public”

New poll. Is there a feeling of burnout in our sphere? Do you have less of a desire to watch videos, listen to podcasts, and read articles about "our issues" than in the past? Pick best option even if not perfect. (Chat open temporarily.)

We have officially switched from anti-Suicide warnings when you Google suicide to this. At least in Canada where this screenshot was taken.
The big issue with the “Sensible Centrism” fad is that it hasn’t really focused itself on foundational issues like the effective atheism that caused most of your issues today.
There’s no reason why you couldn’t make the same slippery appeal to tradition and frame something like church attendance as the “sensibly centrist” option (at least 1 hour a week to build community plus the reception of faith and restoration of what every single person in the West saw as normal until maybe a century ago). You don’t even have to say to go to a specific kind of church, just that you find a good one.
Because this would be such easy messaging, personally I’m led to believe that this is in no way serious despite what was laid out in the video on sensible centrism. The tactic could have worked quite well on a number of issues, effectively “normalizing” traditional practices and beliefs without idiotic labels that make normal people shove their head into sand.
1900 beliefs > 2000 beliefs and aren’t hard to sell.

Dave Martel finished voicing Arturo Rodriguez's replacement, Georgie O'Gill. I must say, it turned out awesome!
I have a guy working on a new jacket and scally cap for him. What you see here are just placeholders.
EDIT: Oh and the surname "O'Gill" is a nod to Darby O'Gill and The Little People, a movie I grew up watching.

If you plan on downloading the Fallout 4 mod I and others are working on, please consider donating via SubscribeStar, Odysee, Entropy, BuyMeACoffee or Crypto. It would be nice to be able to reimburse myself for incurred costs, not to mention pay myself and some others for their time and effort.
