    Felony DUI is a fairly rare and serious crime, but Canada treats misdemeanor offenders of this type as ineligible felons

    That's because in Canada it's considered an I/O or indictable offence, or felony for you americans. In canada only the feds can have felony law, and it's universally applied across the country. It's not double jepordy though, you were never tried under Canuck law.

    You only stepped on a very small part of the bigger issue. You really don't know how big of a problem the communist branches were at the time do you? See the case with the Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands. That's the German Communist Party, who advocated social fascism. They also worked hand-in-hand with the antifa of their era.

    So those guys displaying swastikas, giving Nazi salutes, chanting "blood and soil", one wearing a t-shirt that said "Nazi" on it... Those guys weren't Nazis?

    Well that's a good question now isn't it? Because the person who put this thing together(UTR) goes by the name of Jason Kessler. Who right up until November 2016, was an avowed leftist, democrat supporter, proud obama supporter, and so on. We'll use the SLPC's own database on that. And he suddenly established a new organization called "Unity & Security For America" in January of 2017. Now one can't forget either that he was working for CNN at one point.

    Now you can ask what does this have to do with anything. Well it's starting to smell a lot like "bird dogging" something that democrats did several times during the RNC primaries, and during the 2016 presidential race. This is right out of the playbooks of Scott Foval and Bob Creamer, who were pushed out of the DNC when it came to light that they had been paying protesters to be violent at rallies. The most famous case of this was the near-riot in Chicago.

    Now go read these two articles here and this article here. Then ask yourself why this organization's event(UTR) was announced on the facebook page of the Traditionalist Workers Party. Sounds very right-wing to me, doesn't it comrade. That's the same organization with ties to Yvette Felarca(of By Any Means Necessary or BAMN fame), who was arrested in relation to starting a riot....in California. I'll let you guess which one.

    And now, we go off to the races. I'll say, there's a chance, a possibility that a devout democrat that deep could flip and support Trump. I've met them, the other stuff just doesn't seem to match up on the other hand. Especially the announcements.

    Hard to paint antifascist groups as the violent aggressors with a timeline like that.

    Pick up a history book, they were the violent aggressors in many cases. It's one of the reasons why people were sympathetic towards the nazi's, it wasn't fear, it was someone standing up to the self-proclaimed communists who wanted to overthrow the state. It's one of those nice little bits of history that get's airbrushed over, and one where you can see the writing on the wall.

  8. I look forward to your passionate denouncement of this violence from right-wing protesters like you have posted on here over and over about "antifa". This time someone even died so you better crank it up a notch.

    You mean just like when BLM instigated that guy to the point where he shot 5 cops? Or those two thugs kidnapped a white retarded kid, and tortured him. Or that leftie nut that decided to spend a morning taking shots at politicians? You're not going to find me supporting violence on either side buddy. But over the last few years, it's been coming faster and hotter from the left then the right. Right up to politicians implying there needs to be blood in the streets.

    But what are we running these days? 1 actual right-wing extremist vs a dozen or so from left-wing extremists. That is of course providing that he's actually a right-winger, since that seems to be a story in absolute flux at the moment too.

  9. I thought the nazis, specifically the one driving the car was being blamed. I'm confused, are there other nazis being blamed? I thought the alt white righters weren't nazis. Why would they car if nazis are being blamed?

    Ask the media, because they can't even get their own propaganda straight. I've read articles from wapo, nyt, usa today all claiming a whole pile of different things.

    Yeah I thought the same thing, you know what it reminded me of? When the nazi's started fighting back against the antifascists(aka antifaschistische aktion) who were violently assaulting people in the streets, at protests and so on. All the while screaming that they "really the good guys." This doesn't occur in a vacuum, not in the least. Gee did ya note the similarities between the current antifa and antifaschistische? That they're both communists, hold the same beliefs, and both had political backing.

    They want their games to appeal to a bigger audience.

    Useful tip: Appealing to a bigger audience almost always kills the franchise. Men and women have very specific gaming tastes, and that's been known for years. FPS, RTS, Action and so on hold around a 90% male market. RPG(depending on the type), break 80/20, sometimes as high as 58/42. MMO's are usually the highest outside of "life simulator" type games, to have a higher percentage of females playing. Usually around 30-38%. Life sims are weird, but there's been a few cases in the past where there were more women playing. Casual games? Easily hold 55-58% female.

    But you're a complete idiot if you make a Action-RPG, with blood, gore, and so on and try making it for a wide audience and market it more towards women. It's going to fail in a spectacular fashion. Men will be more likely to play any title regardless of whether or not it's targeted at either sex as long as it's a challenge. Women will be more likely to play any title that is quick, easy, and doesn't soak up a lot of time.

    I hope you enjoy these basics of marketing your game. Because if you're doing anything else, I'm going to enjoy watching you fail hopelessly.

  15. unskilled manual labour factory job in North America that pays more than $15 an hour and I will be well and truly shocked.

    Yes an idiot. Try vutec, for example. The starting wage in Woodstock, Ontario is $18.80/hr. In Indianapolis, IN, it's $16.23/hr, those are both starting wages. $22-25/hr after 4 years is common.

  16. An average wage of $54000 for factory workers? That's a good one! I've got this bridge you might want to buy,,,

    You're an idiot, no other way to cut it. When my dad was still working at a "big 3" warehouse, he was making $32.80/hr plus benefits(that's 35 years in). That same warehouse was hiring new people at $18.80/hr first 3 months, 19.80/6mo. Full hire after 1 years for 22.93/hr plus benefits. Canada or the US, the average factory worker wage is in the $44k-60k/year range, if not a bit more.
