-> ''"''Justify?'' I'm not trying to 'justify' anything. There's a difference between justifying and accepting. Justifying is being in denial. It's making excuses to convince people that what you did was okay or even the right thing to do. I know what I did was wrong. I know that it was horrible and despicable. I'm not trying to convince myself or anyone else that it was alright for me to do it. The difference is, I don't care whether or not it was 'the right thing to do'. [[ItsAllAboutMe Because I know it was the right thing for me]]. And in this world, I've learned that's the only way to survive."''

->''"That first debate, I'd never seen anything like it. I've never seen a white male billionaire screaming at the top of his lungs, 'This whole system is rigged!' he said. And across the stage was a white woman, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama sitting over there looking at him like, 'No it's not.' I said, 'Now wait a minute, bro. It's what he said.' And the moderator said, 'Well, Mr. Trump, if, in fact, the system is rigged, as you suggest, what would be your evidence?' Remember what he said, bro? He said, 'I know the system is rigged, because I use it.' I said, 'God damn!' And then he pulled out an Illuminati membership card and chopped a line of cocaine up and did it right at the podium. No one had ever heard someone say something that true. And then Hillary Clinton tried to punch him in the taxes. She said, 'This man doesn't pay his taxes!' He shot right back, 'That makes me smart!' And then he said, 'If you want me to pay my taxes, then change the tax code. But I know you won't, because your friends and your donors enjoy the same tax breaks that I do.' And with that, my friends, a star was born. No one had every seen anything like that. No one had ever seen somebody come from inside of that house outside and tell all the commoners, 'We're doing everything that you think we are doing inside of that house!' Then he just went right back in the house and started playing the game again."''

real life example of an NRLEP trope and also not a proper example — 8kun isn't the one admitting it


[[folder:Newspaper]]
->''The website that's perhaps best known for encouraging mass violence is the image board Website/FourChan -- which was followed by 8chan, which then became 8kun. These boards are infamous for being the sites where multiple [[SpreeKiller mass-shooting suspects]] have shared manifestos before homicide sprees. The few people who are willing to defend these sites unconditionally do so from a position of free-speech absolutism. That argument is worthy of consideration. But there's something architectural about the site that merits attention, too: There are no algorithms on 8kun, only a community of users who post what they want. People use 8kun to publish abhorrent ideas, but at least the community isn't pretending to be something it's not. The biggest social platforms claim to be similarly neutral and pro-free speech when in fact no two people see the same feed. Algorithmically tweaked environments feed on user data and manipulate user experience, and not ultimately for the purpose of serving the user. Evidence of real-world violence can be easily traced back to both Website/{{Facebook}} and 8kun. But 8kun doesn't manipulate its users or the informational environment they're in. Both sites are harmful. But Facebook might actually be [[EvilerThanThou worse for humanity]].''

->'''Angron:''' Do we give choices to those we slaughter? A true choice? Or do we broadcast that they must throw their weapons into the fires of peace and bow down, faces pushed into the mud like beggars, thanking us for the culture we force upon them? We offer them compliance or we offer them death. How am I a traitor, wolfling? I fight as you fight, as loyal as you are. I do the tyrant's bidding.\\
'''Leman Russ:''' We offer them freedom. You are mutilating your own sons and stealing their minds--now you preach of the Emperor's tyranny? Are you lost so far in your delusions?\\
'''Angron:''' You are free, Leman Russ of Fenris, because your freedom matches the Emperor's will. For each time I wage war against worlds that threaten the Imperium's advance, there comes another time when I am told to conquer peaceful worlds that wish only to be left alone. I am told to destroy whole civilisations and call it liberation. I am told to demand millions of men and women from these new worlds, to make them take up arms in the Emperor’s hordes, and I am told to call this a tithe, or recruitment, because we are too scared of the truth. We refuse to call it slavery.\\
'''Russ:''' Angron...\\
'''Angron:''' Be silent! You have given your threats, dog. Now hear me. Listen to another hound barking, for once.\\
'''Russ:''' Then speak.
'''Angron:''' I am loyal, the same as you. I am told to bathe my Legion in the blood of innocents and sinners alike, and I do it, because it is all that's left for me in this life. I do these things, and I enjoy them, not because we are moral, or right--or loving souls seeking to enlighten a dark universe--but because all I feel are the Butcher's Nails hammered into my brain. I serve because of this "mutilation". Without it? Well, perhaps I might be a more moral man, like you claim to be. A virtuous man, eh? Perhaps I might ascend the steps of our father's palace and take the slaving bastard's head.\\
'''Russ:''' You are lost. You gelded, black-hearted heretic.\\
'''Angron:''' I am merely honest, brother. In all but this you are no different from me.
