The world always needs more GoT alliances! The tide will not be stemmed until George R R Martin has killed off every character we've ever cared about (so probably six months )

Welcome and good luck!

Riight, and making your alliance name a play off of "Aryan" isn't bait. Good show mate, I'll be sticking around for the encore.

Do you really not know Arryn? and that it has nothing to do with Aryan? i mean, wow.... I'm speechless, i really hope you are just trolling

I Googled it and I see that it is from a show known as "Games of Throne," but I still don't think that makes it right. I know P&W's forum demographics are majority White and so most of you don't realize the harm the name can cause; think about if someone made an alliance called "The Nazys," which is clearly a play off of "Nazi," and their excuse was "oh its just a prank bro haha its on TV." Of course there will always be a demographic blind to the fact that it's hate speech, but just because you cannot see it, doesn't mean others can't.

Can't say I approve of the white supremacist alliance name, especially after recent events, but to each their own and good luck nonetheless. May the Arryn race prosper I suppose.

As the final arbiter and destroyer of Nazi alliances, Arryn is fine.

You really are optimistic if you're expecting next book to come out in 6 months

Arryn has as much to do with Aryan as Lennon has to do with Lenin. Let it go, your chasing less than shadows here.

You're mocking me for thinking that, but Google recently added stuff to filter out fake news and other misleading websites. So everything on Google actually is correct; that's why sites like Fox News don't show up unless you specifically search for them.

Some friendly, well-intentioned advice: Please, please, please never let a technology or corporation "tell" you what is fake and what is true, regardless of whatever filters and stuff they add. This is what your own brain and judgement are for. Not everything on Google is "correct", nor will that ever be true unless things become truly Orwellian. If you simply rely on the technology, you will be led down the rabbit hole quite rapidly.

Where did you get that information?

Google?

I think it's pretty obvious that right-wing news is fake though, why should anyone be upset that Google filters it out? They're doing people a favor by not subjecting them to misleading information. Do you really want articles about Obama being the Anti-Christ to come up when you research all the great policies he implemented? Or do you want to see BS articles about Trump being a good president coming up? No.

The problem with people today is that they don't rely on technology enough. Look at the guy Google recently fired. He was dumb enough to believe that females are magically likely to behave a certain way, and decided to spew that sexist bullshit to the media; if he actually used the search engine of the company he worked for, he never would've been lured in by fake news. A lot of problems could be solved if Google just erased websites like Fox and Breitbart from the face of the internet. Hate speech doesn't deserve a platform, and it's our job as the sane users of the internet to make sure companies like Google are on our side in making sure these people's views don't reach an audience.

Lol, are you trolling? Or are you seriously defending the Nazi right against Google rightfully throwing their BS off the search engine?

I fully understand and agree with your analysis that there is fake news being deliberately and destructively fed to the world at large. This is a very serious threat to everyone, since it is the newest and most effective form of censorship yet developed. With it, power-hungry monsters can easily take control of anything and everything, by misleading, distracting, timing their more dirty actions to coincide with significant tragedies, and undermining the credibility of actual honest and legitimate news organizations and political activist groups.

What really matters here, however, is that you need to understand that Google is not above temptation and corruption. They have interests, political and financial, and they are not so incorruptible as to set those aside to serve the interests of the general public. They're better than most, granted, but they're still human. Our job as sane users of the internet is to check our facts and sources, and communicate those facts and where and how we found them along with our conclusions. This even means that we need to check claims made by people we don't trust or "facts" that seem self-evidently false, because that's how we know for sure what news is fake.

Companies that have the wrong political interests won't get public support though, not in the US' current political climate. People are realizing that Republicans are no different than their slave-owning ancestors and are tearing down their statues, burning their homes, etc. I don't advocate violence, but I don't feel sorry for the people killed on the right/republicans since they're the ones who are choosing to be on the wrong side of history; people who are on the wrong side of history are the only ones who are in trouble. Many people consider the "slippery slope" argument a fallacy. Germany has banned display of Nazi flags, symbols, etc. and they didn't magically become a police state because of some mythical slippery slope. There's nothing wrong with censoring people who have the wrong views. The only people I see arguing that Nazis shouldn't be censored is, you guessed it... Nazis.

So in other words, I trust Google to be on the right side of history and censor right-wingists because the people of the US will rightfully take up arms otherwise.

Wow, 

 

Are you that dense? Do you know anything about the members or have any proof they are nazi's?

My alliance is House Stark which is another House from Game of Thrones, House Arryn is the house of the hand who dies at the beginning of GoT, who's wife is the sister of Eddard Stark of Winterfell. So instead of thinking hey maybe they are using a prominent house name from a very popular book and TV series you go straight to, it's kinda similar to a racist ideology so without any other proof i'm going to assume that.
