Change my mind

Not really, many already exist, and parents do a lot of the caring for them themselves

You wouldn't need to change much atm

If you're a 17 y/o boy Ayn Rand is cool for two seconds.

As much as I hate to say it, even Karl Marx is a better philosopher than Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand should lead the new world order

Imo objectivist use of "selfishness" is disingenuous

karl marx wasnt a bad philosopher

he just didnt realise communism wasnt practical at all

In other words a bad philosopher

it wasnt not practical because it was bad

it was not practical because it was too utopian in the way he said it

like communism in his definition is extremely utopian and unsustainable

in other definitions where theres an actual government it causes famines and other humane crisis and then lasts as long as a normal gov anyways so its bad

Yeah but caloric intake and literacy skyrocketed under the Soviets.

Same for China.

*but they did have to have massive famines and depressions*

They didn't have to though.

like communism isnt really a government its a way to achieve government

Are you suggesting that there's a causation between famines and eating more food???

unless yoru wanna go by marx's commie gov that had no gov at all and is overly utopian

@εïз irma εïз yes

more people to feed

more food needed

Yeah but the Soviets escaped the Malthusian trap by modernizing.

yeah

*thanks to papa joe*

You're outlining an effectively pre-revolution phenomenon.

so do you support communism or are you against it

No I just think that commies bad bcuz holodomor is excessively memey.

communism realistically should be considered a country that uses revolution to achieve a socialist government

not all that other impossible shit marx made up

so do you think revolution is the best way to establish socialism @εïз irma εïз

I think it's the only way.

Decadent liberal bureaucracies aren't going to bring socialism.

what about using social democracy or democratic socialism (whicver you prefer to call it) to slowly transition into it

That's exactly what I just said.

*but i phrased it differently to push an agenda*

*jokes on you foolish butterfly*

Which agenda?

@Euro-American Bandit use the correct format nignog

Okay

wat

That is the worst QOTD I have ever seen

^

🤦

MODS

Fine. I shall delete it

Ban @Euro-American Bandit for his poor taste

BAN BAN BAN

Don't worry. I shall see myself out

Honestly i probably should be demoted because of that

<:PingReee:459545654126051329>

I keep coming and there is no qotd

QOTD: ARE COMMIES HUMAN

@Miguelinileugim yes.

NO THEY ARE NOT I JUST SAID THAT

It was a question. I answered

What attribute do humans have that commies do not?

Duginism is more of a third postion-ish ideology.

@campodin Intelligence

Nazbol are the only humans.

@Miguelinileugim there are intelligent Communists

Have I met one? ...well 😂

I have met professors that were communist

Me too

Professors seem to be very dumb outside of their very specific fields

I had 2 female professors who were self identified Marxist feminists

This was a nominally Christian college btw

"I know macroeconomics at a very theoretical level BUT I'M A PROFESSOR AND DAMN IF CAPITALISM DOESN'T SUCK"

The humanity

Feminist precludes the possibility they were intelligent

Just in case you had any illusions about college, they're run by self identified marxists and if you're accused of bigotry then you're fired/expelled

But I'm hispanic

That should make me immune

56% gang

what're my views on communists you ask?

well let me tell you

🚁

no one asked

Agreed

✈

I asked

yeah well

QOTD: is it wrong to bombard communists with napalm

<@&479643036951904267>

yes

innocent people tend to get hurt in napalm bombings

Communists arent people

demonstrably false

@Swiss Cheese do not ping people

wait shit he's not staff

it's a fake qotd

Neither communists or their sympathizers

define sympathizers

am i a sympathizer cause i think communists are people?

@21tagtmeiern absolutely

<:SquidDab:459545666725609493>

so anyone who is not a communist sympathizer is factually wrong about communism

that seems false

What?

if you are a commie symphatizer

you either stop being one

<:autism:487682053144313867>

or die with them

Allying with the Soviets against Germany was a Zionist scheme. Biggest mistake of the century

baste

they were our enemy's allies

i think the response was reasonable

not like the nazis didn't deserve it

even if the soviets did too

I'm not saying the Nazis didn't deserve it, I'm just saying the reasons for going to war with Germany were largely trumped up.

Just being real here

Germany wasn’t even a threat to the USA, “no more brother wars” is a popular phrase among NS and white nationalists.

Them attacking a fellow white nation wouldn’t make any sense.

@Emperor’s Inquisitor. i like your pfp, star wars the clone wars was a very good cartoon and show, very underrated.

@! Blanc Spooky Lowee thanks, Obi wan is so awesome in it, and it made my teenage years awesome.

Agree

Obi Wan is such a troll in that show lol

They are gonna release the final episodes of the show on disney XD, clone wars is way better than that star wars rebels crap.

You can only say using napalm on commies is wrong if you assume that communists will reciprocate the mercy you grant them, which they won't.

based

If anything, the Viet Cong got off easy with a quick burning death compared to the suffering they inflicted on the South Vietnamese and captured US soldiers

The communists that we fought were very lucky that we had a duty to ourselves to always be morally superior otherwise we could have actually done what they accused us of

Tfw the concept of "war crimes" was invented just to make the act of war moral and clean so we would support more wars

I mean you cant have a military being savage

literally you will break down order

only reason there is any concept of morality in a military

Also the viet Cong basically almost fell apart (if I remember correctly) after they were not held to disciplin and ended up slaughtering vietnamese natives, leading to people simply deserting or even turning on the army itself. Breakdown of order is a natural result of a lack of codified conduct

I've never heard of that happening to the VC but I may be misinformed

It was something that we were tought in school as one of the most major defeats of the VC, they literally took back some city, and then disciplin just broke down adn shit got out of control, after that it was all downhill

Can you remember what town they took?

I've searched for the "Viet Cong fell apart" and all I get is a documentary episode that documents something in the late sixties so I doubt that's when it happened

no idea, it was a massacre or something, it was apparently a big event

i cant remember tho because its been some 5 years

It was a major victory for the VC i remember that much

however there were also mass executions or something like that

QOTD: With only 57 days until the midterm elections(may god have mercy on you if haven't registered yet, for I will have none), how many Senate Seats and How many House Seats should we expect to have in the 116th Congress, with a worst case scenario, your predicted scenario and the best case scenario? <@&479643036951904267>

Use this website to visualize your predictions

https://www.270towin.com/

For the Senate, this is my worst case scenario:

http://www.270towin.com/2018-senate-election/aM1Z4a

This is my predicted scenario: http://www.270towin.com/2018-senate-election/lV19A8

This is the best case scenario: http://www.270towin.com/2018-senate-election/8rkrjl

<@&479643036951904267> You don't need to use a house map if you don't want to, just give a number. (Currently, we have 237 House seats, there are 5 vacancies and the Dems have 193 House Seats)

I like the one where there's a libertarian state

it'll go to 215/220 probably

I think the GOP will have 231 and the dems 207

Once the 2020 comes, I think the GOP will will gain at least 5-10 seats. They could have 15 or more if the Democrats have a weak candidate

there's no way the gop only loses 6 seats

it'll be at least like 20

@21tagtmeiern The GOP could lose the house but I think they have a chance of keeping it. The blue wave narrative is intended to discourage the right from voting

they definitely have a chance

especially cause the democratic party is poorly managed

@21tagtmeiern I'm in a discord server which is dedicated to a red storm in 2018. We analyze primaries, every poll that comes out, past election cycles and demographic data

The link is at the bottom of this webpage

https://redstorm2018.wordpress.com/

best case scenario is 243/192

worst case is 212/213

QOTD: How many Americans are left with at least 75% ancestry from one region, in your opinion?(ex-75% British, 75% French, 75% Italian, etc)
Also, how many founding stock Americans are left in your opinion?
<@&479643036951904267>

Oof

10 percent or less I would say

If we are talking about direct British ancestory

Too few

tfw southern and eastern euros replaced all the anglos

Mfw the Eternal Saxon

Anglo pride America wide

10%
That is impossible to know

hmmm, if we take whites only and make them out to be the say "core" of this thought experiment then I'd say -> some 60% possibly more but its unlikely. I dont think inter ethnic mixing has gone that deep, generally speaking if you put one colony in one territory and they are ethnicy X do the same somewher eelse, they will only ix at the boarder and mixing shouldnt reach deep into th eheart of the territory. As such we get some 10% OF each group X & Y mixing producing XY along the boarder.

However for the US? I cant be certain but it would be really interesting and enlightening to see how this plays out.

(If we inclde all races then id say as low as 30% if not less)

@Earl of Morrrrgantown do qotd correctly next time

a) this is a shit question

b) probably less than 0.01% since i don’t live in america

Yes

@qotd how t f did we miss that

wat

I was born in September 12

OH ALSO APPARENTLY ITS THE ISLAMIC NEW YEAR TODAY

haha

That's no coincedence

It's al-qaeda

you know it’s a different date each year right

<:E_:459545659574321152>

@everyone Daily Question 🔖

The United Nations and the European Union are both actively trying to punish nations such as Italy and Hungary that seek to protect their borders from mass, uncontrolled immigration. They are going after democratically elected politicians such as Matteo Salvini because they want to uphold their nation's right to choose who comes into their border.

How should these nations respond, and how can they defend themselves? Italy is going to pull funding from the UN, but will it be effective? What else should they do?

leave un

leave eu

but first

wait for eastern europe

to become nationalists

completly

and threaten if they don't stop they leave eu

Austria is going to be running the EU Commission soon

That will be interesting, what with Kurtz in power, and with populists on the rise possibly getting a majority in the EU Parliament

That tag team could completely change the EU

Hopefully it will

Leave the EU. If you can’t vote, what do you have to lose long term? They will be exploited into oblivion.

You can vote though XD

on the EU Parliament

Aren’t they losing that ability? I though that was the proposed punishment. @Master Yeet

That’s what the media is saying.

That's the national governments' vote on legislation

Not the vote for the MEPs

They should respond by forming a military coalition with every nation between Germany and Russia and then march on brussels to sack and burn it @The Big Oof

You made the mistake of assuming europeans possess this degree of unity and teamwork

Across the pond, it's everybody fighting for his tribe

Eastern Europe unite ✊

The virgin slav

The chad med

The virgin med

The Chad Slav

@Master Yeet so is that national vote unimportant?

@Deleted User No, it's very important, but it can be reversed easily if the populists have the Commission and the Parliament

**LIBERAL ALERT**: Italy and Hungary as well as many other eastern european nations are breaking, I believe the 13th "charter" of the human rights charter stating that in a time of war all refugees must be accepted, theoritically once the war ends it is within their right to deport them, you know how we can end the war quick? Stop fucking intervening.

uncontrolled immigration should be especially undesirable in a time of war

I meant war abroad, in this case the war abroad is in the middle east

Screw the Human Rights Charter

What a joke

"ScReW thE HuMAn riGhTs chArteR"

@Deleted User It is not a human right to enter any country you want just because you flee another

@Doctor Anon

the 14th article

@Deleted User so what?

The human rights are not legally binding

"human rights"

The U.N "human rights" are bullshit and should be discarded

Italy and Hungary have every right to even so much as kill anyone who tries to enter ilegally

yeah fuck the charter that guarauntees your right to freedom of speech and fair trial

@Deleted User It's up to indiviual countries

^

not a globalist organization

they have complete right to deport them once war is over

they are not immigrants, they are refugees

they are there for hospitality until war is over

not to establish a new life

They can go to other countries

That are willing to accept them

If a nation's people dosent want to take in refugees, they dont have to. A nation's people will always be above a refugee

what if people want to go through Italy to get to Austria or Germany and Italy doesn't accept them

@Deleted User Too bad for them, go around

*international airports*

yeah maybe some people are too poor to afford such "luxukrious" ways of transportation, especially in a warzone

planes cost money

With the numbers that refugees come to Europe, they could easily band together and overtake any opposition that is causing a war

if ya cant afford a plane ticket, why the fuck do they want you in theyre country
