Yeah, in all likelihood they maybe already signed the new OGL. Who knows.

Yeah but that’s a complete misunderstanding of what Paizo is doing. The Open RPG Creative (ORC) License is not something Paizo can pull a WOTC on because Paizo doesn’t own it.

They’re footing the bill for the thing to be created by a proper law firm in conjunction with multiple other rpg makers that will be held by a non-profit agency. It is also specifically made to be irrevocable and perpetual. It is also systems agnostic - because, again, the goal isn’t to create an OGL for Pathfinder, but an ORC that can provide a systematic way for all rpgs to be opened up to fans and other creators.

Either Colville doesn’t understand this, which is unlikely, or he doesn’t want to be a part of the open rpg movement.

Add in the silence from Crit Role and Dimension 20, it seems like all these big actual play creators and communities have no interest in open rpg or any desire to express solidarity with 3PP.

Lol. It’s okay comrade. You can win the karma race next time.

Edit - BTW, looks like Matt Colville will not be a part of this.

I guess he chose personal profit over communism. Sad to think people would do it, especially after they’ve learnt so much.

Also:

I seriously read through most of Marx, Lenin, Nietzsche, Camus, Popper, Hegel, Kant, McLuhan, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Baudrialluad, Butler, Foucault, Shelley, etc

Holy motherfucking shit.

How’s he reactionary? I’m serious. I don’t know shit about him other than the memes but this is like suddenly hearing Chomsky or Parenti are reactionary anti-commies.

1. Go out.

2. Don’t not go out.

:rat-salute-2:

Edit: Were prisoners in gulags paid for their labor?

Accelerationism, that is, letting fascism run wild in the hopes of that building up a socialist alternative, is a ludicrous ideology that will only lead to millions of deaths.

that’s just accelerationism.

I mean, the analogy breaks down, so maybe I shouldn’t have carried on with it.

I meant organising unions and co-ops and parties is easier under social democracy than under fascism.

I mean, yeah, social democracy is not socialism. It’s capitalism. It will not directly lead to socialism. But opposing carrots is objectively easier than sticks.

?

The entire post is about how expecting elected officials to enact socialism is pointless. That happens outside of congress. But a social democratic congress is much better and conducive to socialism than one that’s not.

That’s just wrong and and this kind of rhetoric only hurts the most marginalised amongst us. The Democrats are not the ones passing anti-trans and anti-abortion bills.

There is a different between Democrats and Republicans and the only people who benefit from hiding that fact are the Republicans.

What?

No, AOC is not going to bring about socialism. That’s my point. Expecting that of her, and being disappointed when she doesn’t deliver, is ludicrous. She’s not going to just go in and break things. She’ll get booted next term and be replaced by a neoliberal who’ll just make things worse. Her job is to do as much good for as many people as possible by working within the system.

Do you disagree?

lol I fully expect her to be free in a couple years. Even then, her prison will probably have a spa, movie theatre and servants waiting hand and foot.

what context?

no its not

This post was inspired by Hasan but is not about him, nor his specific situation. I’m not going to address your other points because they’re irrelevant to this discussion which is about a topic much broader than that.
