No philosophical question today

I’m pretty sick so I don’t have a good question for today. Also about the DIP I’m still trying to figure out a plan.

So the question for today is:

What do you think the DIP should do next?

The DIP has 2 options. Weather the storm, for many of the accusations levied at them are false, or merge/dissolve. If they were to merge, there are two parties that have offered. The UMTG, and VIES. I would suggest the UMTG, or another party that is not VIES, as VIES has levied false accusations at the DIP. I think the DIP has seen firsthand the terrible things mass hysteria can cause, however, luckily for them the hysteria seems to be dying down. If the DIP chooses to trust the people who falsely accused them with no consequences, and rejoin the flamingo coalition, that is their choice.

Probably the best read on the situation. You can either join VIES for more power or UMTG for principles

I've said it before, and I'll say again. for one, VIES has nothing to do with the Teenews post. Just me.
And for two: you are the *only one* who has denied what was said in it, not even DifCar did that
And for three, I'm only the main author on the post, and the DIP drama wasn't even the only thing on the post

Alright, that was me defending myself, again, from you. Thank you for coming to my ted talk

I know for a fact arc was banned before you made that post, as well as the source you used in the post was outdated. Also this is the first time you have taken full responsibility of the post. (not including the one message you sent on discord about when you made this comment) Sure, I've been pretty vocal about it, but just because the DIP hasn't doesn't mean I'm wrong. Arc's last message was on the fourth, and was banned on the fifth. The teen news post says two days ago, so I'll assume it was on the sixth. By this time, the DIP had already been confronted by camel and agreed to ban rbeorn. I would like to know your source of the photo, as well as the timezone you live in to calculate the time of the message.

I'm not the one who took most of the screenshots, Potato. Camel told me to make a Teenews post about it

Even if it's not all your fault, you still posted it and it's still misinformation.

Look me in the digital eyes: quit slandering VIES over this. It's irrelevant to VIES, don't bring it in where it's unnecessary. Mkay?

If you want my advice, you gotta take it slow. And trust me, I know how that sounds. DIP is a party built for moving on and taking things fast, but take it from someone who's been in your shoes: take some time to yourself. Give yourself a while to think about everything, just slow down a bit.
I sure have made some mistakes in the past, and the very close past, but for all of those the key was to try and calm down for a bit.

I see a lot of myself in you. So whatever you choose to do, I'll trust you that it was the right call. Good luck, Cherry

Okay, thank you for the advice.
