He'd exist, but he wouldn't have such a platform. The public support for BLM and the hostility European elites have for their own people does give his sort of ideology a lot of strangth.

I'm in the California university system. I know that feel. XD

Bruh

it sucks so muuuuuuuuuuuuuuch

I've made it all the way to grad school though, so I',m used to it

I am in that boat as well, 5th year

Whoopss

Ah. What major if you dont mind sharing?

Hello

Civil Engineering

Ah. Nice nice

going into Project Management

HBU?

History major, Linguistics minor.

Ah

Can you hear me?

🆙 | **Miss Malevolent leveled up!**

I seem to be a minority here, not a STEM guy.

I am actually incredibly interested in linguistics

Can't hear me?

It's an interesting field if you've got the knack for it.

No, your muted Malevolent

Habla Espanol?

Why am I muted?

No se MM

Dwi'n hoffi siarad Cymraeg? Dydw i ddim yn siarad Sbaeneg.

Fucking welsh

Or somthing brythonic

It's one of my favorites, I'd love to learn Hindi eventually as well.

Its Welsh.

Ta me gaeery lot gealg, Vel oo gaeery lot gaeg?

Unfortunately I cannot comprehend

🆙 | **VonBrüning leveled up!**

Only recognize

I should learn Spanish. My GF has been harassing me to learn it for months.

The nice thing is the lack of cases for nouns

I mostly do Ancient Linguistics, so early Proto-Indo-European and its branchings.

Gothic has always been interesting to me, especially its script and similarity too italic and hellenic lang

AlL CaPs Is FuN AwEsOmEsAuCe

Better luck next time

🆙 | **feedfancier leveled up!**

Gothic is really interesting, though the Germanic branch isn't my specialty.

I'm just incredulous that I stayed up late for so long.

Them and the Romance Family tend to be where I gravitate

Trying to go through wheelocks Latin in my meantime

Celtic, Hettite, Greek and the Indo-Iranian branch for me.

Celtic is just beautiful sounding

Difficult to get literacy in. XD

My mothers Family are all Scotts

Holy shit, man. Harmful Opinions has gone full pants-on-head retarded.

I'm afraid at this point the autism has taken over completely. His entire fanbase is a bunch of /pol/tards now.

what did he do?

He's just going all-out on this campaign against any other youtuber who asks for money after this demonitization thing going on.

ah gotcha

He's just on a jihad against people who are just saying "I do youtube as a job... if I can't make up the lost ad money with patreon donations, it's not longer going to be my job. So I'll have to find another job, which will decrease the amount and/or quality of my content - so donate to me if you don't want that to happen."

And is getting a huge following of the /pol/ types whose general opinion of youtubers is "Get a real job!"

Luckily seems like Matt and Blonde haven't gotten hit be the demonitization stuff too bad.

well thats pretty looney. how people make money doesn't seem to be any of his business

does he think that if you take any ad money your sellout or something?

people gotta eat

His main argument seems to be a two parter. If you didn't diversify your revenue streams (merch, patreon, twitch, youtube, etc) it's your fault - which I can partially get on board with. The second part though seems to be "I'll still make content even if I don't make enough to live on, so anyone else who won't is just being a sellout who's in it for th emoney."

🆙 | **Starwind leveled up!**

\o/ what do I win?

yeah I agree, diversifying your revenue stream is def a good idea

He also seems to be completely against the idea that the MSM/Old media is pushing for monetization changes on youtube so they can muscle in on it by killing off smaller content creators.

"hello world"

You starting a bash scripting tutorial?

When is Blonde gonna start a blog for foot fetishists?

Good afternoon, everybody.

Where are you all from?

I'm tuning in from Commiefornia.

Florida

Not much better here hombre

Mountians of Tennessee

Hoping they can get some good topics tonight, Matt has been on fire lately with his content

Berlin, Germany

Gruss Dich

*Grüß 😛

Lol

hey, we Germans are grammar and spelling nazis, so me correcting you was just me being me, being German

All good

I haven't had the keyboard enabled in a while so I just anglicize it all

ah, understand that. I'd have a text file with the umlauts and the ß somewhere, though

We actually have codes for it, I just cannot for the life of me remember them all

Germans: Thoughts on AFD? Do you think they can win the next election, or at least become a coalition partner?

yeah, I know there are codes, but fuck those codes. no one remembers them.

I am ironing out my cases as we speak, ich leibe deutsch

for real

as it stands right now, AFD might be lucky to actually make it into parliament. And they will definitely not be a coalition member.

((FACTS))

Just curious as to your take on things.

oh indeed, I am a floridian but I try to take it all in as often as possible

^^^

Also, Frauke Petry totally looks like Curie from Fallout 4.

no one wants to form a coalition with them. and they don't want to be a part of the government, either.

there are similarities between Frauke Petry and Curie, definitely

Meme that shit now

Alternative für Boston

I had a few conversations with Petry at different party conventions. But I'm more a Bernd Lucke guy. 😉

"It's the economy, stupid"

I'm afraid I don't know too much about Lucke. What's his platform?

He was a founder of the AFD but left in 2015 after losing to Petry

🆙 | **Exogenesist leveled up!**

the party took a drift farther to the right - that's why I left and joined the Free Democratic Party, where I am definitely among the right-wingers

Do you feel like Germany has a bit too much of a power position within the EU at the moment?

I only really get american and eurosceptic sources

not just a bit. way too much. we are more or less the only nation within Europe where a substantial part of the population is dreaming of the "United States of Europe".

Damn

How do you think Germany could un-Merkel itself, and return to a more nationalist platform. (And by nationalist I don't mean Neo-Nazi, of course)

((Imperial Second Reich))

but with the UK leaving and other countries forming alliances (Czech, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland), I feel the EU will fall and other alliances will be formed.

I honestly feel blocks such as that would be more beneficial

I am just of the point of view that a nation should care for its citizens, and put them first, and it seems to me that Merkel and others like her keep putting the native population second.

At this point, Germany can't un-Merkel itself. She must go. And her opponent at the upcoming election in September, Martin Schulz, is even more on the left than her.

Fuck

and there are just two realistic outcomes this september: Merkel staying in power or Schulz becoming new chancellor of a socialdemocrat-green-socialist coalition

I've always wanted to make the journey over but I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut about a lot of things

And my grammar is also attrocious

Either do it as soon as possible or delay until Germany is sane again.

if the "red-red-green" coalition of the three most leftist parties (that actually matter) in Germany wins in september, Europe is doomed for the next four years

I graduate in December so I think it will have to stay a thought for now

and the AFD doesn't help the cause, because they are not willing to form a coalition with anyone.

at this point and in this kind of a democratic system, they do more harm than good. and they would be better off infiltrating Merkel's CDU

So what right-wing party (or parties) are there that stand a chance of causing real change?

🆙 | **ColeH leveled up!**

there is no real right-wing party in Germany and there unfortunately won't be for the next decades. the best way to support right-wing positions depends on how much libertarianism/authoritarianism you want with it

the more libertarian way would be the right wing of the Free Democrats, where I currently am and hope to stay.

the more authoritarian way, again, would be to infiltrate the CDU and try to get them to what they once were - an actual conservative party

the AFD as the idea of a "Die Linke" on the right will not work. "Die Linke" keeps on crossing the line to left-wing extremism just as the AFD keeps on crossing the line to right-wing extremism. But our history makes us be tougher on right-wing extremism due to our history.

Its just hard for me to imagine that there is still that much guilt over a period of time

🆙 | **VonBrüning leveled up!**

Especially given the overall attitudes towards Germany around europe pre and post WWI

no one remembers that in Germany

we are all reminded of those horrible twelve years, though. day in, day out. I think, a little less (just a little less) remembrance would be great, and more remembrance of what Germany achieved. Talking about historical figures like Goethe, Schiller, all those German writers. German composers. German scientists. We got so much.

Maybe less remembrance can happen as the generations change. I mean, to some extent the war is still living memory for some.

So forgive me if I overstep, but things like the franco-prussian war, the stuggle for Alise-Loraine .

Those aren't proud moments for most?

Yes, but the last ones that actually lived are on the verge of no longer living, to put it mildly. maybe this is a chance. but then again, we got the leftist elites in Germany...

and Frederick the great as well

Wars never have been proud moments for Germans. Never. Even the ones we won.

There's a reason why DJT has to remind us Germans constantly that we need to put money into our own defense.

Maybe thats just the 'merican in me but that just seems unfortunate in the truest sense of the word

it is

we take more pride in things that happened in Germany. The fall of the wall in 1989, for example

or the rebellion against the GDR in 1953. when people stood up against the socialist regime

and those are great moments

yes, definitely. every time an authoritarian regime is fought, it is a great moment. even when people are brutally batted down by said regime like it happened in 1953

-The bummer train

what?

It was just a dark note, hard to respond to

I will say though, every German I have met has been quite the well mannered person, I do believe some hope lies in that

America has a unique history and position in history. I think in general Americans have a hard time understanding other countries and they have a somewhat hard time understanding us.

Yeah

good manners don't say nothing about political views, though. we got an awful lot of social democrats here

True enough

The ones I knew have now blocked me on social media after our past election

yup. Germans. Free speech is a rather new concept for us...

something most of us are not really familiar and comfortable with

That is unfortunate

Funny enough the differences in other countries histories is what I had to teach today. XD

I will say though, the US is a cheap visit and you can practice as much as you like

Can't do that in canada

I'm plotting my emigration to any country that is sane enough. Switzerland, the UK and the US are in the mix

maybe Norway, but that might be too cold for me

Well in the US I would say either the Mid Atlantic, South, or the Midwest are great areas to live in work on the whole

I wanna live in Wisconsin. I'm a Packers fan, so I gotta go there

and yes, it is still warmer than Norway 😉

Just know thats a blue state, it may line up with your views though awful well

the governor is red though, isn't he?

Yes, but its weird how localities and municipalities can differ so much within the state

and Trump won Wisconsin over Clinton...

Well, trump isn't too red...

yeah, I know

Not a bad thing

but still, he's more red than Clinton

Oh by far

so this gives me some hope

Clinton/Merkel = Lebron/Curry

no, Curry is likable. Lebron to a certain extent as well

lol

Hard to humanize corpses

Merkel ain't that old...

dude

HER FACE MAN

DON'T REMIND ME OF THAT

I TRY TO FORGET THAT

Its like the creeper out of scooby doo

I can't sleep tonight, thanks, man...

She looks like a half baked cooky

she looks like a not baked cookie

like raw dough

Get it out

We;re here for you

funny thing is: dough is actually tasty, though ;D

do you all actually have humor over there in the 4th reich?

nope, we're effective

Wtf we didn't lose a war to emus we ride them into battle

Australians: Always asking Dingos to babysit

Austrians: always asking Nazis to babysit

sorry, not sorry

Hey, lets be real, they fucked you over into getting into WWI
