Declare Your Independence: Fight the Merger with Apolyton!

[Erik Mesoy]

Hey, I recognize that, Mise! Put some effort in!

 

[Rossiya]

Give me Liberty or give me Death!

 

[Mise]

Hey, I recognize that, Mise! Put some effort in!

Well I changed bits of it...

 

[Xanikk999]

I refuse to pay for what used to be a free service!

I will join the underground resistence!

 

[Sashie VII]

Posting to keep myself updated on what people think of this merger.

EDIT: That's the biggest number of crosspost I've had!

 

[Babbler]

One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the apolytonians will soon be here. ...And I for one welcome our new 'poly overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted OT personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others who don't bow down to the new world order.

 

[Sashie VII]

I thought there'll be no more OT?

This post comes in the hope that it will find the place in your mind where rationality resides and where decency and sanity, coupled with a healthy sense of anger, will trigger appropriate action. Permit me this forum to rant. Yes, you heard me right; Thunderfall has the nerve to call those of us who deal summarily with garrulous vagrants "conspiracy theorists". No, we're "conspiracy revealers" because we reveal that it's time for Thunderfall to get back on the reality bus. Now, that last statement is a bit of an oversimplification, an overgeneralization. But it is nevertheless substantially true. To most people, the idea that Thunderfall's primary motivation is self-enrichment at our expense is so endemic, so long ingrained, that when others conclude that its theories are not normal, this merely seems to be affirming an obvious truth. To cheat on taxes has never been something that I wanted to do. Never.

In the past, men like Thunderfall would have been tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail for trying to feed us a diet of robbery, murder, violence, and all other manner of trials and tribulations. It is deeply unfortunate that there's a distinction to be made here, since if anything, this is not Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia, where the state would be eager to exhibit a deep disdain for all people who are not spleeny, dirty twaddlers. Not yet, at least. But it's possible that Thunderfall doesn't realize this because it has been ingrained with so much of narcissism's propaganda. If that's the case, I recommend that we give the needy a helping hand, as opposed to an elbow in the face. Thunderfall believes that those of us who oppose it would rather run than fight. Sorry, but I have to call foul on that one. Thunderfall drops the names of famous people whenever possible. That makes it sound smarter than it really is and obscures the fact that if a cogent, logical argument entered Thunderfall's brain, no doubt a concussion would result. Listen carefully: Thunderfall uses the word "gastrohysterorrhaphy" without ever having taken the time to look it up in the dictionary. Organizations that are too lazy to get their basic terms right should be ignored, not debated.

Ruffianism and revisionism are not synonymous. In fact, they are so frequently in opposition and so universally irreconcilable that the basal lie that underlies all of Thunderfall's soporific, irritable prank phone calls is that we should abandon the institutionalised and revered concept of democracy. Translation: It's okay if Thunderfall's indiscretions initially cause our quality of life to degrade because "sometime", "someone" will do "something" "somehow" to counteract that trend. I doubt you need any help from me to identify the supreme idiocy of those views, but you should nevertheless be aware that if Thunderfall got its way, it'd be able to pose a threat to the survival of democracy. Brrrr! It sends chills down my spine just thinking about that.

Strictly speaking, if we let Thunderfall supplant one form of injustice with another, then greed, corruption, and pessimism will characterize the government. Oppressive measures will be directed against citizens. And lies and deceit will be the stock-in-trade of the media and educational institutions. Do not let inflammatory rhetoric and misleading and inaccurate statements decide your position on this issue. One of Thunderfall's forces keeps throwing "scientific" studies at me, claiming they prove that Thunderfall is a martyr for freedom and a victim of solecism. The studies are full of "if"s, "possible"s, "maybe"s, and various exceptions and admissions of their limitations. This leaves the studies inconclusive at best and works of fiction at worst. The only thing these studies can possibly prove is that Thunderfall is totally gung-ho about emotionalism because it lacks more pressing soapbox issues. So that there may be no misunderstanding, let me make it clear that the facts as I see them simply do not support the false, but widely accepted, notion that disreputable, abusive liars and cheats are all inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive.

Take this example: Let's say that I get concerned when I see Thunderfall make mountains out of molehills. Now let's say that Thunderfall should slither back under whatever rock it crawled out from. Does that mean that it can scare us by using big words like "mediterraneanisation"? No, because Thunderfall's buddies, who are legion, believe that Thunderfall has the linguistic prowess to produce a masterwork of meritorious literature. Although it is perhaps impossible to change the perspective of those who have such beliefs, I wish nevertheless to force Thunderfall into deserved bankruptcy. It is imperative that all of us in this community break the spell of great expectations that now binds unregenerate buggers to Thunderfall. This cannot occur unless there is a true spirit of respect and an appreciation of differences. Sorry for babbling so much, but Thunderfall wants to rid the world of "defective" people.

What is this from, exactly?

Bring it on!

I will never assimilate!

With apologies to Tom Paine:

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their beloved Civilization; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.

The cause of Civilization is in a great measure the cause of all mankind. Many circumstances hath, and will arise, which are not local, but universal, and through which the principles of all Lovers of Mankind are affected, and in the Event of which, their Affections are interested. We have every opportunity and every encouragement before us, to form the noblest, purest Civilization Site on the face of the earth. We have it within our power to begin Civilization over again. A situation, similar to the present, hath not happened since the early days of Rhye until now. The birth-day of a new world is at hand, and a race of men perhaps as numerous as all CFC contains, are to receive their portion of freedom from the event of a few months. The Reflection is awful - and in this point of view, how trifling, how ridiculous, do the little, paltry cavellings, of a few weak or interested men appear, when weighed against the business of a world.

The sun never shined on a cause of greater worth. 'Tis not the affair of a city, a country, a province, or a kingdom, but of a continent—of at least one eighth part of the habitable globe. 'Tis not the concern of a day, a year, or an age; posterity are virtually involved in the contest, and will be more or less affected, even to the end of time, by the proceedings now. Now is the seed time of union, faith and honor. The least fracture now will be like a name engraved with the point of a pin on the tender rind of a young oak; The wound will enlarge with the tree, and posterity read it in full grown characters.

In short, Independence is the only bond which can tie and keep us together.

I will, I'm lazy.

 

[Kozmos]

Yet might there be chance that the forums shall stay separate?

 

[Gaius Octavius]

I hope so, or I am going to start calling for volunteers for the Civilization Continental Army.
Seriously, if they do this and it screws everything up I am going to think about deleting all my posts and mods in protest.

 

[Kozmos]

I'm going to the frontlines, I'll be back with some recon images.

[Gaius Octavius]

Warm up the tanks, get the theme from Patton ready...

 

[alex994]

I deny the existance of God and thus I do not believe "he" can save TF and CFC

I'm joking

 

[Talkie_Toaster]

Resistance HQ?

 

[Disgustipated]

resistance is futile.

 

[silver 2039]

The time for talk is over. The time for REVELOTION has begun! I suggest an immediate purge of the Apolytoners currently here with a brutal lynching. We can start with the one above ^.

 

[Talkie_Toaster]

I suggest a boycott.
