what were these trees used for?
they were used to build massive hydraulic mining equipment which was used to destroy mountains in the search for gold
So this afternoon I'm in a normal 10v10 casual and racist "teammate r" sees "teammate a" is probably Asian based on his username and calls a votekick saying "this is America, not China, get em out of here" and the team votes the kick down.
I say in voice something disapproving about him, I don't remember it verbatim, but it was about not being racist (probably something about being happy his racist vote failed). Teammates r2 and r3 suddenly hop in voice to volunteer that they are racist. I mute the whole stack and move on; no sense in engaging and getting my blood pressure up.
Teammates r, r2, r3 call votekicks for me every round, with each vote ending in a 3-5 or 4-5ish result, and me thanking the team each time, surprised they voted to keep me. I had a positive kdr and some mvps, maybe that's why.
After 8 rounds of failed but continued votes, I'm just following these guys around, throwing flashbangs in front of them, mollies under them for sound cues, and standing in front of them. I needed to leave before the game ended, so I dc'd after their last failed vote. No real closure on the situation.
The "silent majority" that never chimed in to voice to agree that racism is bad did vote to keep me on the team every round. All the racists had to do was catch one or two more votes from new players or from people who weren't paying attention, but they never did.
Extrapolated: the equivalent of voting down the teamkick is that the liberals will 
super hard when we're dragged off to the camps by the dumbest, most detestable men alive
Same stuff?
