Woooooaaaaahhhhhhhhh gtfoh you’re gonna stand there, look me straight in the eye, and say that the Russian-aligned German Nazi Party is seeking closer ties with the dying Russian-aligned American Nazi party??? Well now I’ve heard everything.
Nah we did, we’re just not filmmakers.
This will backfire.
I think part of it is younger people waking up to how propagandized our government has made them, and then swinging to the opposite side. Like “All that stuff the soviets or ccp said must have been true if so much of what our government said was a lie”. I did something like that after leaving the evangelical church when I was 18. Strong to atheism before adopting a more open-minded approach with room for the fact that I can be very mistaken.
I understand the cultural victimization thing, and it is completely understandable. China is a very unique case, we can learn a lot from them, I just hope that we can come to respect each-other enough to learn from our advantages instead of one-upping our destructive tendencies. Chinese people are awesome, Americans are cool too. And each nation has an equal amount of uncool people. Progress could be easier if we could all be nationalistically humble. Course it would help if we didn’t have a millenia-long history of just killing and taking what we want, that is a big phase to get out of.
Dude I grew up socialist at heart, my great-grandpa was at the ford riots where people got shot.
But this shit nonsense that tankies spew make me almost want to rebrand my beliefs. You can’t just say that atrocities didn’t happen because you like the general philosophy of the political system. (Even though it was communism for exactly 3 minutes before sliding into good ol’ authoritarianism)
I get the same shit talking to some super pro china folks. Yes, amazing leaps and technological bounds are happening and socially a lot of commendation is due. I am really, really in awe of some of their progresses. But it’s really really weird how they go into full-on denial mode if I mention that one time a local mayor or whatever farted during a town hall. That apparently becomes “western propaganda”, no matter how happy I am to talk shit about the shortcomings of my country as well. Blind nationalism makes me really crazy. And I’m American who’s lived in Asia for a long time so I can really feel it when they’re just talking shit. I grew up with mindless US propaganda, and have spent the past 20ish years hearing Asian “never ever lose face” "everything is fine and always has been fine forever aside from that one time when we defeated the despicable enemy of our glorious party!!!
Guys it’s just as stupid to hear from your nation as it is to hear from the US. We’re all flawed. Admit it so we can continue to improve instead of locking into a shitty system so we don’t offend the great grandfather of the nation or whatever dumb thing. Be yourself ffs. A lot of people from the past were horrible dicksuckers and you should have more confidence in your own personal ideas, be careful choosing idols. Most of them were just shitbags who ended up the victors. And as we all know, history i written by the victors.
*Not directed at you Bruce, just taking the chance to yell at tankies.
One time I came home drunk at night and had a campfire out back. For some reason, I had the urge to burn a few dollar bills that I had in my pocket, I think because money was such a concern for me at the time and the simple act of burning a few of these life-tickets upon which we all depend felt freeing.
Now this, I would invest in a torch and smelting pot for these ones. Or stamp Epstein on the other side and leave them strewn about.
Bill Burr is the only one that really got to me. I loved that guy. But I just can’t see him the same way anymore
Yeah they like it, they’re a bit late to the party though. Even maga is waking up, the issue is that they have nowhere else to go, for a decade they were told that democrats are literal demons. So we need to come together and drop partisanship if we want to survive.
Look, I love Germany, I love Germans, a few of my ex girlfriends were German, my best friends are German, I used to live in Germany. But they truly, on a viscerally deep level, do not understand Americans. They don’t understand our values, they don’t understand our humor, they tiptoe very carefully around race-issues, but they don’t understand how we can actually integrate and mix rather than maintaining strict racial neighborhoods organically, (aside from a few places, like Berlin but that’s a special place) they don’t understand what makes us do crazy things or why we help people we don’t know, why we start conversations with strangers if we don’t have some goal in talking to them. They don’t understand us. And they want to use us. They see racism which basically aligns with theirs, and they hope to form an alliance, but it will never sway the American public at large. Talk all the shit you want about Americans being propagandized by FOX, it’s true, but so is your country and everyone else’s. Now they have to find out the hard way that deep down, and at a number much higher than any other demographic in the entire nation, we fucking hate Nazis and authoritarianism. Federal agents used to know better than to even walk into some states. That feeling never went away.
You have any guns in your house from the last time your relatives had to fight the government over authoritarian tendencies over there in Germany? I do, everyone I know does, and I’m just some dude from a small-town. We never stopped buying them, because we still remember. My grandfather REFUSED to buy a rifle if it had a registration. My grandfather on the other side was at the Ford strike where the government opened fire into the picket. He never put money into a bank even. He made sure I understood that the government is not there to help us, and he gave me his guns. My neighbor used to get drunk and let off his AK into some dead car in his back yard. There are millions of him. Millions. You’ll find racists in the US, but 90% of us fucking hate them too. They’re just the loudest whiniest little bitches that exist, doing their gay little color-coded marches because daddy never hugged them enough, and their crimes are heinous, so they occupy a far larger online footprint than they do in the real world. How many videos of Nazis getting rocked in the US can you find? How many videos of them backing down at the slightest resistance? How many videos of nazis rocking opponents in the US? Exactly. They are bitch-boy cosplayers who think that after their shitty homoerotic fascist state is implemented, that they can just go and take women like in caveman days. They can’t get laid not because they suck, but because society precludes the natural way of doing it. (I’ve heard these freaks talk like that) Thing is, there’s at least a 50% chance it would be a girl that smoked them in this situation. more like 80%. Everybody’s got a plan until they get punched in the mouth. And I’ve seen girls fuck up guys who look like your average y’all-queada marcher. These guys haven’t been punched in the mouth enough yet. They think they want it, because any pussy can hold a gun and they assume that they are the only ones who have them, but they really, really don’t. The poor fuckers need love, but they’ve spent their lives creating the most unlovable persona possible. So in short, they need to grow the fuck up and stop being such whiny bitches. Nobody’s gonna do it for ya, not even that cool older dude at the paintball place with a lil ss sticker on his gun who invites your teenage friends to his place for practice. Ya know, the neo-n*zi militia recruiter. We know, and if we know, you better get smart before it’s too late.
There might have been a time, a few years back, where they could have jumped on the train and taken advantage of the confusion, but now it’s too late. Their open nazis are getting ousted and facing real legal consequences and they know they can’t hold on for too much longer. Nobody gives af about Czech president, the tide has turned fully against Putin and Trumpsim, now the only issue is watching which sandcastles last the longest against the inevitable eroding flow of the social pendulum.
EDIT: Sorry, these guys rile me up. No bad vibes intended.
