    Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
    You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
    Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
    Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

    On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.

    See yourself in others and do onto them as you would have done onto you.

    We judge society based on our ideals, morals and what we consider is fair.

    This again is just your opinion.

    The rest of your post is just the classic death to every new revolutionary idea via deflection without showing any consideration to the idea and what could be possible opposed to the present state.

    I'm not sure there's an exact label to my ideology, I like it complex and ever-evolving in response to new inputs. "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" is a core concept though, as I believe all of those are vital to society. Yeah, I'm oldschool.

    Post-scarcity is another utopian ideal that can never be realized. There's no such thing as having a surplus of all resources, there will always be scarcity that creates new problems for society and causes competition.

    It doesn't mean riches can't be fairly distributed nor should be done so equally. Without competition things grind to a halt.

    And I'm not even Francophile. But no one has managed to come up with a better summary than those three words. There has to be freedom so that all may strive in pursuit of happiness. There has to equality - not in outcomes but in equal opportunities for all. And all that needs to be tempered by compassion for our fellow humans.

    A mixed bag of ideals from all across the political/economic spectrum, doesn't really have a title, though most political tests seem to balance it all as center left.

    My opinion on various things:

    - Gay marriage/adoption is fine.
    - Abortion should be legal.
    - Mind altering drugs with no medicinal value should be illegal.
    - There should be a universal basic income.
    - Conversely there should be no minimum wage.
    - There should still be a safety net below universal basic income, but much more restrictive.
    - Taxes should be higher in general, especially on the wealthy, even more so on the extremely wealthy.
    - We should police the world and should have a massive military.
    - There should be a death penalty.
    - Guns should be legal with some restrictions and robust background checks.
    - Education spending should be much higher.
    - College should have scaling subsidization based on a family's income.
    - We should have a single payer health insurance system.
    - Mental healthcare should be much more robust, especially screening, it should happen in schools.
    - Political ideology should become a protected class.

    I also hate social justice. I think trying to right past wrong by via modern reverse discrimination is absolutely retarded.

    I completely agree. To each according to his needs. From each according to his ability.

    Many opinions on what is considered fair and to what extent and degree equality and competition work best.

    Nah I don't value capitalism, I value pragmatic policies that prove that they build successful countries. If some other country wants to experiment with a highly ideological non-capitalistic system then I say go ahead. But I don't want my own country to be the canary that gets sent into the coal mine.

    The same things things that made our country successful, we criticize developing countries for today and even go so far as to curb their development (via divesting, sanctioning, etc.) to prevent it.

    Things like extreme corruption, pollution, lax labor laws/working conditions, etc. All of those things were rampant through US history and we moved past them slowly and painfully, but it is undeniable they played a significant role in allowing us to get where we are.
