    Send Damian the link. Get them to use. ;)

    Although, Knight, you can just send her the link via PM or Skype or whatever, if you have not already. Not need to wait for her to sign up separately. *has set up a few servers*

    Discord is way better than Skype. Just gotta say. :D

    I disagree, but then I may be using the term under my own understanding rather than the popular definition. Trump, Hitler, and Mussolini are/were not Populist. The Republicans, Nazis, and Fascists were and never have been the majority. They were and are always an exclusionary very vocal minorty force trying to control the majority. Not the actual majority. That is elitism, not populism. That is actually part of the definition of Republicanism, a Republic has elites/senators who make the decisions for the majority. Fascism has never been a populist movement... it has always been a select, very vocal minority trying to enforce/bully their views onto the populace. The actual majority is typically a silent majority and can go with whichever group seizes power, whether an elitist or populist one. But persecuting a minority does not make one the majority. While the majority may do that, it is imo always due to the work of an extremist minority group holding the reins of power. That is not populism, that is extreme elitism. Not to go all political... but Trump is by no means a populist. The majority of voters and the world are against him, and his exclusionary, isolationist tactics. He is not an average Joe but a billionaire , he is not proposing changes that will help the world... but will only help America, which reeks of cronyism, deals that help his elites play more "fairly." You cannot claim to "play fair" when you are actively seeking to block other people from "playing." So I am sorry, but your definition in my opinion is completely wrong. That may be just me. But I do not believe it is. Populism like Elitism has its benefits. But the benefits of Populism outweigh the Elitist ones imo as they benefit the whole populace over a select few... honestly the only people that do not benefit under a populist leadership are the elites... as everything is no longer solely theirs. But yeah. Ima disagree hard with any portrayal of Trump or Fascists as populist... because straight up, they were and always have been about an extremist minority, not the actual majority. Hence Elitism. Not Populism. --- So in case you could not tell, I am pretty hard on the populist side... as in my opinion that is the most fair and balanced. Q10. Would you rather, do your duty or play?

    If it was easy... we would have a completely different world. :0 Instead of the messed up hell hole it can be. But... what the world is tends to be a personal thing... my world was shit and anger for two years till I finally kicked my depression. Does not mean it's not still hard. By I have perspective now... I know that every day really is its own day. Every cloud does have a silver lining... it's just damn hard to find sometimes in the midst of some of the deep dark pit we have to try and climb out of sometimes.

    I don't think there really is ever a thing as caring too much about an issue... just being blind or not listening to others is the issue there. (Which does not seem to be your deal) I think however the opposite is true. It's way too easy to not care. Way too easy to just try to quash things or get hard and not relate to anything or anyone. It's easier to shut people out than let people in. It's harder to work towards "love and peace" than just shoot anyone you dislike or looked at you funny. I'm gonna keep advocating for #luvnpeas It's the harder road. The road less travelled. ;)

    It's a good question... But it seems to be one that constantly pops up in any kind of politics. The usual thing is for the elitist to promise to raise a prominent minority to the new elite, or to shun a minority for the sake of an elite majority(that likely is some kind of minority in population, but holds the power socially) It's really a question for people though, of if they want to be something special and shiny and elite at the expense of others, or willing to let everyone try to get something close to that.

    I may not be around as I have stuff to do in the morning, but if you list questions and quote me I can always reply to them later. :)

    I quite prefer Robin to Corrin as well. For game play, plot and even basic design reasons. I would much rather be a Lord's ally and tactician for the army rather than the "Chosen One." DX Q9. Would you rather, follow an elitist or a populist?
  19. ErrantDShepherd
    You are a good egg. :D Yeah, good vibes, peacemaking not warmongering sound good to me mango. ^_^

    Shovel Knight, or an indy or third party characters from the other consoles would be pretty sweet! ---- What are your thoughts on violence in general vs violence in video games?

    I forget last question I was asked... so gonna answer this one. Probably Smash Bros. Any of the entries would count... but current 3ds version has become a favorite. Favorite Movie as a kid that you still watch now?
