  • How can that be a classic behaviour? For one, they haven’t done it, as illustrated by how hard they’ve cracked down on any facist behaviour since the cessation of WII. And wouldn’t they have had to have done it more than once for it to be a classic behaviour? They’ve literally been nazists once. They’d have to have been nazists more than once, and gone through the phases you’ve described for any normal person to call it a “classic”.

    You know what is an example of a classic behaviour though? Internet “experts” who just trust what they’re given and don’t do any research about it. Like you’ve done. Want proof? Read the other reply to the comment you’ve replied to here. And if that’s not enough, explain to me why the German foreign minister hasn’t been jailed/charged/etc for these remarks. Never trust just one source.















  • To be fair, Nelson Mandela was sorta a terrorist. He wasn’t as bad as his wife (she spoke at length about doing stuff like putting car tyres around enemies necks, filling the tyres with petrol, then lighting em up), but he did turn a blind eye to some pretty despicable shit that his supporters were doing. For a very long time Amnesty international didn’t support him. Personally, I think the reason he was ignoring these things was good, but the acts themselves sorta don’t justify it. But then, you have to do something to overthrow the oppressors and I’m a white male so I know I will never truly understand the motivations for these acts and can’t really judge anyone for em.

    I’ve always said that ours (and yours, cos whilst our two nations comedy is different, there’s a shit load of overlap) is too subtle for text communication!

    And yeah, fucking yanks online… I’ve had a few drinks and a little bit of weed, so excuse this rant, but yanks online are fucked. I’ve met plenty in Australia and on my travels (including when I travelled the US) in person. 99% of them were lovely and I could chat with them and have a beer. But online? They are fucked for the most part. And I know that’s a generalisation, and most of the online Americans are great, but those who aren’t? They are so bad that they ruin my opinion of the good ones so badly I don’t even remember the good interactions.
