#Some I did because it legitimately could cause or encourage harm if left online

[insane-weasel]

I think as writers we should hold funerals for our WIPs more often.

Dearly beloved, gather us here today where this fic of some middle-aged man getting rawdogged and this other fanfic about the importance of friendship are laid to rest, because the author got really distracted playing that new video game.

We celebrate what could have been, cut-and-recycle those really good lines or ideas, because I swear I'm going to use them, I swear! And drag this poor document not to the great recycling bin or trash, but to the "graveyard" folder because sometimes I like to commune with the dead.

Some people have been slandering me on other blog(s?) very recently. I would like to explain my side of the situation regarding this. [Thank you to anonymous person who DMed me about this.]

edited 12/2: I mistakenly assumed the 'second server admin' was someone involved with creating or moderating the server. I apologize for making assumptions, and have corrected 'second server admin' to 'second person on behalf of the server' also abbreviated as ‘second person’.

The original server admin was not involved in the slander or misleading ask messages to other blog(s?). I apologize for stating they were. They were not involved with such messages or posts.

I also forgot the first server admin did respond after my refusal. I did purposefully ended the conversation early in order to avoid engaging in system discourse as a singlet. I realize now that I should have been more communicative and clearer on my part. I am sorry I was not, and will take care to do so in the future.

I also want to clarify w/r/t to taking a neutral stance isn’t the best answer to system discourse, and it is taking a side on the conversation whether I intend to as a singlet or not. My intention is to minimize harm caused on my part as a singlet navigating through intracommunity discussions.

Lastly, the concern of lesbophobia has no relation to this server or server admin. I am largely unaware of the origins of these accusations and apologize for mistakenly assigning them to the server admin and server. I’m aware lesbians can be lesbophobic. For the sake of post length and relevance, I omitted this.

note: I'm using they / them because there’s two people involved, and I don't know their respective pronouns. This is not purposeful misgendering. There is a summary on the bottom, but I appreciate anyone who reads this.

This is what happened.

Yesterday, 11/30. someone asked for a server promo for an interest check they sent in. On their server promo post they stated 'no endo systems, no tulpas'.

This blog doesn't promo blogs or servers that prohibit any type of system from joining or interacting with the person's blog or server.

note: this is long and is below the read more. 

I informed the person about this rule. They said nothing in response. [correction: they did respond. I purposefully ended the conversation abruptly to avoid engaging in system discourse as a singlet.]

A second person on behalf of the server, came into this blog's DMs requesting a promo, saying they changed their mind about restricting endogenic systems and tulpas from joining them.

I declined to promo their blog again, having private concerns that they were being dishonest about their intentions. This is because their message came within 30 minutes of my response to the original server admin.

If they really hadn't changed their minds, then I would be sending people into a harmful situation. [My response to the second person was, as quoted here, "No, thank you! Good luck with your server!"]

The person immediately became upset and stated that as a singlet I was gatekeeping their server by refusing to engage with them in any form. I explained this rule was a public guideline on this blog's page, it's not a secret requirement, and that I cannot engage in encouraging system discourse since it's not my community.

I am a singlet. People have in the past been rightfully vocal about not giving a platform on this blog to anyone gatekeeping specific types of systems. I understand and respect that this is an intracommunity discussion, and I will not disseminate such content as it's not my place to.

I responded to their message point by point, expounding on what I meant with the promo rules and so forth. I ended my message trying to disengage with the person in a positive manner and go to bed.

This person responded, claiming I was making jokes about needing to be paid to joke about systemcourse.  I have a copy of our entire conversation and can verify I never said anything like that.

My last reply to that was to state I was disengaging in case it wasn't clear from the prior message, because communication is tricky over the internet.

I felt it was clear from the conversation that I could offer no further help for them. I felt there was nothing left to explain, that they would continue to put words in my mouth, and they only wanted to berate me. I had no further contact with them as I went to bed.

As for the dishonesty and rumors those two have tried to spread about me:

I have not invalidated any type of system in private dms or publicly anywhere. I have never said a type of system was the only correct one, or more legitimate than others. I have never tried to inform anyone about systems as if I knew more than them. [correction: I have and I will apologize for it summarily in another post.]

I have not told anyone to not make servers or promo posts for their servers.

Not promoting a server isn't lesbophobia.

I have never said anything lesbophobic or discussed anything about lgbt identities to anyone regarding system discourse, their system, or anything like that.

I'm a transmisogyny exempt nonbinary lesbian. I have never been purposefully lesbophobic to anyone publicly or privately. I don't even make or reblog ironic homophobia jokes. I might live in the closet for the rest of my life aside from being freely lesbian in online spaces. I'm excruciatingly aware how terrible lesbophobia is and would never wish it on anyone.

The blog rule of not promoting servers who exclude types of systems is for all systems. Endo-, trauma-, quoi-, and so on. Tbh this goes for soulbonds as well because hey, there's an overlap of them and the system community.

My refraining from participating in intracommunity discussions is not ableism. My refusal to reblog promos for anything at all, for any reason is not oppression or ableism. [correction: it’s not a perfect resolution on my part to attempt neutrality. My aim is to prevent excessive harm or distress on a blog meant for the alterhuman community. Me remaining silent on system discourse is taking a side or stance,whether I intend to or not.]

I'm aware this blog has a large audience and I'd rather be careful about what I show to 5,000 people. The purpose of promos is to share that which would help the alterhuman community at large. To promote anything that divides sections of the overlapping communities would go against that. I can’t see how this is unreasonable.

I know this blog posts some sketchy and out there confessions. That is generally the purpose of a confession blog. [Within reason, ofc. No death threats, etc] I feel that vent / heavy themed posts limited to a single blockable blog is not the same as promoting servers where 'Us vs Them' mentalities are grown and encouraged.

If you disagree with me trying to maintain a neutral stance regarding system discourse, ok. I'm not here to change minds or take sides. I don't have the right to a voice in this specific conversation. I only want to make it clear what happened between me and two other people, and why they are saying hurtful things about me.

In summary:

Two different people asked me to promote their discord server that banned endogenic systems and tulpas from joining. As per the Promo Guidelines page, we do not promote those servers. I am a singlet and engaging in system discourse is not acceptable. [correction: one server admin asked me to promote their server. I declined. A second person on behalf of the server tried again to request a server promo.]

One of the server admins had a conversation with me. I explained the rule regarding banning types of Systems. The server admin took it poorly, stating my refusal to join in intracommunity discourse as a singlet was ableism on my part. [Correction: the second person may not have been an server admin, but acting on behalf of the server]

The two server admins are now slandering me on other blog(s?), saying I'm ableist, taking sides on system discourse despite being a singlet, and being lesbophobic. [Correction: it was only the second person, not the server admin.]

I've done none of those things. I have a copy of the conversations to prove it. I don’t want to post it without their consent, unless I really must to prove I wasn’t behaving inappropriately.

I am a transmisogyny exempt nonbinary lesbian who can only be publicly open about my identity online. I am in the closet in real life to my entire family. I know how torturous lesbophobia is and would never be lesbophobic to anyone.

[In fact, the topic of lgbt+ identities never came up in that conversation. I'm confused where that came from.]

If you read any of this, thank you. I really hope I haven’t behaved poorly regarding this. I would like to apologize if I have. I genuinely don’t think I have been unreasonable in this situation.

Connie / Mod Party Cat!

ps, if you know their blog urls, please do not harass them. Also, please don’t harass anyone in their kin community. Don’t be goofy like that, thank you.

pps I’m ok with people linking or reblogging this if someone is confused about what new terrible thing has happened on fictionkinfessions. It’s not required but hey, it’s out there, for eternal record on the internets. Hello world.

pps sorry for putting it in the community tags, but it is relevant insofar as clarifying rumors and dishonesty.

[metal-blake]

Alright, I’ve had a lot on my mind lately that I need to get off my chest.

It will be a bit lengthy, and it is very much political, so I will put it under a read more for those who don’t care.

First off, the main thing on my mind today: The shooting of several Republican House members this morning.

This event has left my blood boiling. Not only the shooting itself, but the POSITIVE fucking reaction from many on Twitter (and hey maybe here too this is a hell site after all). The shooting was a terrible event. I’m personally not happy there was a single death, even if it was the attacker. Ideally, the event would have never happened.

However, it did, the man who shot is now dead, and several reps are now in the hospital with bullet wounds. It was not fun to hear about after work, but then it came to my attention that many online are not only APPLAUDING the shooter, but are fucking calling for MORE shooting of Republican reps, and showing disappointment that none of the reps shot died.

For any of you who happen to be part of this group applauding the shooting:

And before anyone says “You’re just mad that they’re Republicans!”, no. Hell no. Even if Chuck Schumer (who I hate with a burning fucking passion) or any other Democrat rep was the victim, I would still wish the shot had never been taken. Politics should not be a realm of violence, especially deadly violence. And there is a very simple reason for that:

What especially pisses me off is the myriad of people saying those reps deserved it simply because they are Republican and saying all Republicans deserve the same thing, and wishing more reps had been shot. To those, I also refer to the gif above.

And a lot of this stems from many on the left demonizing anyone who’s even SLIGHTLY right-wing. They act like everyone who isn’t a progressive liberal like them is a subhuman piece of shit that hates *insert group(s) of people here*. The fact of the matter is this simply is not true.

People come from different backgrounds and have different experiences. As such, people tend to come up with many solutions to the same problems. On top of that, most people do not want to bring harm to others, with the exception of doing so in retaliation for things they’ve done.

The truth of the matter is: Republicans want to help the country and the people in it just as much as the Democrats: They just have a different view on what will help people out. An example: Democrats focus on helping the impoverished with welfare and such, while Republicans try to help them get on their feet and get a job.

Now, some individuals may not be this way. I personally feel like people like McCain, Hillary, and Schumer all just want to push agendas or have some personal gain. However, most people run for office because they want to help their country and their fellow citizens.

Second issue: The constant sewage most media outlets spew out these days.

For this, I mainly mean outlets like CNN, TYT, NYT, HuffPo and, MSNBC.

My main problem with these outlets it they are constantly spewing out article after article after segment after segment about “The evil white-supremacist, Nazi, anti-*insert group here* right!”, while acting as if the left has no flaws and acting like Trump is the second coming of Hitler, finding any reason, even if petty or even fake, to bash Trump and the right. On top of this, some of them are even encouraging violence against the right. Simply put:

Look, there are good reasons to criticize Trump. But two scoops of ice cream? A dossier that is provable false? The fact that he’s terrible at tanning and as such has orange skin? The fact he likes his steak well done? These aren’t reasons to criticize him.

Now am I saying we can’t criticize him? Fuck no, we need to be there to tell him when he fucks up. But demonizing his every move, even if it’s something even presidents like Obama have done, isn’t going to get us anywhere. And even then, I have criticized Obama before (and still do, I do not really like Obama TBH), and it would be completely nonsensical for me to then turn around and say you can’t say anything bad about Trump. I am also not saying Trump can do no wrong, he has shot himself in the foot several times since he took office. Nothing quite impeachment worthy, and certainly nothing to completely fuck up everything, but he still has done so.

Anyway, back to my point about the media, they keep trying to push this narrative that the right is a bunch of fascist Nazis, which simply isn���t true. Most Republicans, myself included, find fascism, white supremacy, and Nazism to be utterly repulsive ideas. It’s similar to how I’m sure most Democrats find things like Communism to be repulsive. Even so, they keep painting anyone even remotely right-wing as “Alt-Right Nazis” (which, might I add, the alt-right isn’t even a Nazi movement. The name was co-opted by a white supremacist group led by terrible people like Richard Spencer (the original movement was literally just younger Republicans making pro-Republican memes their whole shtick was literally just

), but Nazi is still a bit of a stretch for even them), then immediately peddle this “It’s OK to punch someone if they’re a Nazi!” BS. I get it, words would not work in WWII. But WWII was already a massive conflict and let’s admit, Hitler was a deranged man, there was no reasoning with him. But this isn’t WWII Germany, and we live under a Democratic Republic, not a fascist state. Disagreement is not a valid reason for violence here in the US like it would be for a dissenter in Nazi Germany. Even if the person you are debating IS a Nazi, they have no more power than you do and neither of you have the authority to attack the other physically.

Overall, the media needs to stop back and look at what they are doing. Their job is to report the news and relay the truth to the masses. They’re job is not to push a narrative, their job is not to spread “fake news”, they are to report on the facts. All I want is a return to that, as some on youtube and other alternative news outlets have tried to do.

And my third point: The Demonizing/Idolizing of Trump/Obama

Now, let me say now, I am biased. We all are, no matter how much we try not to be. And to be frank, I did not like Obama, still don’t, and I view Trump in a slightly positive light.

That being said, from both sides I keep seeing either demonizing Trump and idolizing Obama, or vice versa. Namely, I see some on the left act like Trump is subhuman and Obama is some sort of god, while some on the right act like Obama is subhuman and Trump is some sort of god.

Both of these need to stop.

I mean, just looking on the tweets on an article about Trump cancelling birthday plans to visit Scalise in the hospital today left many comments both acting like Trump was a god among men and this action showed he can do no wrong, and comments saying things like he should step down because he inadvertently caused the shooting, and how he’s terrible because x x and x, and even someone linking an article about Obama calling someone who was present at the shooting saying “This is how a real president acts” (which, seriously, which would mean more to you if you were hurt? A phone call, or someone cancelling plans to visit you? Not even taking into account if the person is Trump or Obama or whoever.)

Look, Obama was not perfect, neither is Trump, and Trump is not Hitler/the Devil/etc., and neither is Obama. They are human just like the rest of us, they do good like the rest of us and they make mistakes like the rest of us.

And as I bit of a side note about demonizing Trump, I especially hate the whole “He’s the electoral college’s president” and “he’s not a legitimate president!” BS. You want to know why the electoral college exists and Trump won despite the majority of votes going to Hillary? Let me make it real simple:

Look at all the unshaded area. If we were going by popular vote rather than the electoral college system, most of the country would be ignored in order to garner votes in places like NY and CA.

And before people say “But we’re a democracy, we should go by popular vote!”, no, we are not a direct democracy. We are a democratic republic. Hell, some of the founding fathers talked about the dangers of a direct democracy, calling it mob rule (which is pretty spot on IMAO).

So no, Trump is not the President of the electoral college, He is the president of the United States, because the majority of people in the majority of states voted for him. Sure, this wasn’t the majority of the nation as a whole, but that’s because about half the population is crowded states like CA and NY, and even then we don’t go by the majority as a whole.

Anyway, rant over. I know this isn’t worded well and there may be an error or two, but this was typed at about 2 AM over the span of an hour as I collected my thoughts so I could get them off my chest. Anyway, for those who stuck around, here’s a few reaction images to lighten things up a bit.

I’m gonna go to bed now. Hopefully I can sleep better after getting this off my chest, even if poorly worded.

Anonymous warns world to ‘prepare’ for World War 3

New Post has been published on https://pagedesignhub.com/anonymous-warns-world-to-prepare-for-world-war-3/

Anonymous warns world to ‘prepare’ for World War 3

The notorious hacktivist institution Anonymous has launched a chilling new video — urging humans throughout the globe to “prepare” for World War 3 — as the US and North Korea hold to transport “strategic portions into region” for war.

“All the signs and symptoms of a looming war on the Korean peninsula are surfacing,” the organization says in the ominous six-minute clip, published on Youtube over the weekend.

Using their signature Guy Fawkes individual, the hackers make several claims about current army moves in the place — and alleged warnings made by means of Japan and South Korea about impending nuclear attacks from the North — as they supply their scary battle prophecy.

“Watching as every united state movements strategic portions of the region,” the enterprise says, in their notorious robotic voice. “But unlike past world wars, although there may be floor troops, the war is possible to be fierce, brutal and brief. It might also be globally devastating, each on environmental and competitively priced stages.”

According to Anonymous, President Trump’s check of the Minuteman three intercontinental ballistic missile remaining week — coupled with a current caution from Japanese officers to residents, telling them to make preparations for a likely nuclear assault — are ultimately evidence that everyone signs are pointing to the main battle among the USA and North Korea.

In addition, China has reportedly urged its residents within the Hermit Kingdom to go back domestic as tensions preserve to increase over their nuclear guns program.

Anonymous — described online as a worldwide community of hackers, reason on spreading “data the government doesn’t need you to recognise” — claims the USA and South Korea had been running collectively to keep the peace inside the area, in conjunction with China and the Philippines, but their pleas have fallen “on deaf ears.”

They claim that the Trump administration has been also running intently with the Australians, sending a rotational deployment of greater than 1,000 US troops to u. S ., alongside a huge fleet of military aircraft.

World War II: The Inevitable War

World War One changed into one of the best cataclysms in cutting-edge records. At the time it becomes known as “The Great War”. Historians labeled World War I (WWI) because the war to give up all wars. WWI became so lethal due to the introduction of new weaponry. Some of those guns were mustard gas, tanks, plane, system weapons, and mines. WWI had the most casualties than some other warfare in present day history. The numbers of deaths reached a brilliant 17 million.

The international network confronted a prime quandary proper after WWI. Many international locations were not precisely certain the way to punish Germany for all of the harm it brought on. The League of Nations realized that Germany’s involvement in the warfare had aided within the deaths of millions, destroyed limitless cities, and left most of Europe in monetary ruins. The Treaty of Versailles become the file which made Germany pay for its involvement in WWI. The League of Nations presumed that growing reparations and a fee plan for Germany was the satisfactory coverage. Moreover, the League of Nations agreed that Germany must lose its colonial empire and territories that other European nations claimed, which had been all geographically close to Germany.

Another a part of the Treaty of Versailles explicitly noted Germany prescribing its army abilities. Firstly, Germany couldn’t have a military of extra than 100,000 squaddies. Secondly, Germany changed into forbidden to have an air force and its military become to be significantly downsized. Thirdly, all paramilitary forces had been banned in Germany. Lastly, Germany couldn’t construct any new military centers or stockpile weapons of any sort.

Economically, Germany faced gargantuan monetary problems. It had to pay back the allied powers money that it did no longer have. Over the years new schemes had been applied. These schemes blanketed The London Schedule of Payments, The Dawes Plan, and the Young Plan. All of those plans could permit Germany to pay back their reparations over a stretched out time frame. Some historians consider that all of Germany’s bills could have been paid in complete through 1988.

The biggest hassle with the Treaty of Versailles turned into its punishing of Germany on many special degrees. The primary concept of the treaty become reforming Germany’s borders. Germany had to supply lower back Alsace-Lorraine and the Saar location to France and Eupen-Malmedy to Belgium. Poland, Denmark, Lithuania, and Czechoslovakia had been also to receive many territories from Germany. Under the treaty, Germany also needed to recognize the total independence of Austria.

The League of Nations had one commonplace coverage that becomes agreed on; it made sure that Germany would be removed each economically and militarily. In concept, this strategy would implement long-term protection and peace in most of Europe. Furthermore, the League of Nations believed it might demoralize Germans and cause them to reflect consideration of the poor long-time period outcomes of WWI.

In the early 1920’s Germany turned into plagued with big monetary issues. U. S. A. Confronted excessive crime and suicide prices, inflation, and large unemployment. Many Germans have been frustrated with Germany’s politicians and its neighboring nations. All of those issues allowed small proper-wing political parties to grow to be more popular over the years. Small political events constantly blamed Jews and communists for all of Germany’s contemporary issues. One birthday celebration that many Germans started out to be aware turned into the National Socialist German Worker’s Party (NSDAP). The NSDAP or Nazi celebration used techniques of propaganda to persuade common Germans that Germany itself changed into no guilty for those economic difficulties. The Nazi celebration’s recognition slowly extended until its chief Adolf Hitler changed into elected German chancellor in 1933.

Once elected chancellor of Germany, Hitler found out the Treaty of Versailles changed into one of the motives that Germany became in such exceptional trouble. Hitler had the know-how to form a coalition government, which assured the German human beings that he played by using legitimate guidelines, this turned into of course earlier than he became absolute dictator of Germany. At the same time, he tried to end the monetary disaster in Germany. In Hitler’s first year in energy, almost four million German residents were positioned lower back to paintings. Several years later actually the entire united states of America changed into returned at complete employment. At the same time, Hitler rebuilds roads and infrastructure at the same time as he gave workers an area to live. Eventually, the German economic system recovered at an outstanding rate, this became initiated by using German people investing their financial savings again into the economic system.

Clearly, by way of the mid-1930’s, the regulations of the Treaty of Versailles began to backfire on the allied powers. German production turned into underway in secrecy and many German corporations were moving from civilian to military grade products. In 1934, Hitler had intervened immediately with Austrian internal affairs as he ordered the assassination of Engelbert Dollfuss. At the equal time, Germany started rebuilding the Luftwaffe. By 1935, Germany re-initiated obligatory military service. The German navy and other paramilitary businesses along with the SS could additionally unexpectedly enlarge in length.

Was The ‘Rainbow’ Division Tarnished By Its Battlefield Behavior In World War I? World War I started out in Europe in 1914, however, the United States remained neutral until 6 April 1917 while President Woodrow Wilson signed the joint decision maintaining that a nation of battle now existed between America of America and Imperial Germany. Three months later, in August 1917, U. S. National Guard devices from twenty-six states and the District of Columbia united to form the forty-second Division of the US Army. Douglas MacArthur, serving as Chief of Staff for the Division, commented that it “could stretch over the complete united states like a rainbow.” In this way, the forty-second became referred to as the “Rainbow Division.” It comprised four infantry regiments from New York, Ohio, Alabama, and Iowa. Men from many different states, among them New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Indiana, Michigan, Rhode Island, Maryland, California, South Carolina, Missouri, Connecticut, Tennessee, New Jersey, Colorado, Maine, North Carolina, Kansas, Texas, Wisconsin, Texas, Illinois, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Oregon, and Pennsylvania also joined the department and have become gadget gunners, ambulance drivers, worked in discipline hospitals, or served in the army police.

The Southeastern Department commander encouraged that the 4th Alabama Infantry be assigned to the forty-second. The commander of the 4th become Colonel William P. Screws, a former normal army officer who had served from 1910 to 1915 as the inspector-instructor for the Alabama National Guard. Screws became extensively regarded as one of the important assets of the Alabama National Guard, and his reputation was probably a distinguished element in the choice of the 4th to enroll in the forty-second. To upgrade the 4th Infantry to warfare power, the transfer of the vital numbers of enlisted guys from different Alabama Guard units, along with the 1st and second Infantry Regiments and the first Alabama Cavalry.

On August 15 the War Department formally redesignated the 4th Alabama Infantry as the 167th Infantry Regiment, 84th Brigade, 42nd Division. The regiment comprised three,622 enlisted troops and fifty-five enlisted medical staff for a total of 3,677men. The 1st Alabama Infantry had contributed 880 enlisted men to enroll in the brand new 167th, the 2nd Alabama Infantry and the first Alabama Cavalry had provided enlisted guys to bring the 167th to war strength, which turned into nominally three, seven hundred officials and men. The Rainbow Division have become one of the first sent to Europe in 1917 to guide French troops in battles at Chateau-Thierry, St. Mihiel, the Verdun front, and Argonne. On 15 July 1918 the Division, acting as a part of the 4th French Army, assisted in containing the final German offensive on the Battle of Champagne.

Let us set the state of affairs for the matter of alleged American battlefield atrocities on the part of the ‘Rainbow’ Division. On 15 July 1918, the Germans, in their final bid to cease the battle of their choose, launched a massive attack southward inside the Champagne u. S . Of France. Although a maximum of the protecting troops was French, there were some gadgets of the U.S. Forty-second Division additionally worried within the protection and inside the counter-assaults that ensued.
