[Flying Dice]

Conspiracy theories tend to ascribe far too much cunning and patience to people with little of either. If you point to a human problem you're likely pointing to a human problem, if you catch my drift.

This is my 3rd valid report on nullBolt in the 11 days the account has been around.  You won't need to reply to nullBolt any longer.

Thank you, I was just about to post another calm down folks post

Seemed pretty inevitable, nullBolt was in dire need of developing more modes of conversation than angry or infuriated

Just like Putin needs to stop dealing with his opposition by giving them polonium in tea vs ricin in umbrellas, both are pretty shit, at least the American administration didn't fill Snowden's shoes with killer bees

In Cardiff, refugees are reporting being harassed in the streets, ever since they became identifyable in public. The company contracted by the government to provide housing for refugees in Cardiff, Clearsprings Ready Homes, made it mandatory for refugees to wear brightly coloured arm tags. If they take them off, they forfeit their right of getting their 3 meals every day. Refugees in the UK that are awaiting asylum are not allowed to work, and they do not get any spending money, so they are depending on food distribution to be fed. If at any time they take their tags off (which is irreversible), the company will report this to the government.
So far, authorities have not yet responded to complaints of harassment.

Meanwhile, in Middleborough, a similar story has surfaced. Housing for immigrants there provided by Jomast, owned by billionaire Stuart Monk, all have red painted doors. This apparently has been ongoing since 2012. Refugees have been complaining that their homes are being targeted for harassment with rotten eggs, dog poop, and vandalised with stones. Refugees that tried to paint their door another colour, were confronted within days with a painter sent by the house owner, to repaint the doors red and inform them that any other colour 'goes against company policy'. A local politician compared the red doors to nazi practice.

The British Secretary of Internal Affairs has ordered an investigation into the matter now. Stuart Monk has responeded by announcing that all houses will get another colour door within half a year. The Jomast company is notorious for buying the worst quality housing in low income areas with the intent of making easy money.

Politician Mark Anderson also commented on the matter, when it got a lot of attention on UK social media. He said that while ofcourse he rejected violence and harassment, that there are a lot of British people on waiting lists for tenancy, that would love to have on of those red doored houses.
Some citizens of Middleborough commented on social media that they do not have red doors because they're refugees, but because red is the colour of the local football team.

    I must not Godwin.
    Godwin is the mind-killer.
    Godwin is the little-Hitler that brings total Holocaust.
    I will face my Godwin.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the Godwin has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

even though my literary senses abhor such twisting of Herbert's prose, I couldn't help rofling.

Wait, I thought no one died? I thought it was an empty, under-construction refugee center that was set alight.

I don't know, Covenant, I think questioning that is quite crude.

I'm not getting into this ing debate but don't you try and use sarcasm to cover up the fact that the rigged the building to explode and kill the ing firemen who responded.

You want to get into ism because you think you're not being listened to? Leave the ing firemen alone. People who risk their lives on a near-daily basis to rescue people from horrible deaths? off with your "The silent majority wills the death of these heroic men and women" attitude.

There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. However there is also a widely- recognized codicil that any intentional triggering of Godwin's Law in order to invoke its thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful.

Everyone seems to be calling everyone else a nazi these days.

I like you style of shitposting, it is one to define our decade by

[Graknorke]

Some top-level shitposting. Can we frame it and hang it up or something?

[Helgoland]

It's certainly innovative. We should start a hall of fame for posts important to the forum's history.

It would devolve into a circlejerk that would put Freud to shame, interspersed, of course, by both complaints about it and more shitposts. Do it.

In the words of (most of) FG&RP (when it's shitposting):
aw yis.

[smjjames]

O.o

Armbands reminiscent of Nazi practices (wouldn't an ID card have been better?), painting doors red.... Europe is repeatedly Godwinning itself isn't it......
