Question. If Alex jones got deplatformed off of twitter for criticizing a public figure in a public space by being mass flagged by mainstream media. Does that mean we can mass flag people who criticize public figures like Trump?
no
I mean it is about pushing precident
they hate trump
so no
They're more likely to ban Trump for making his haters uncomfortable
It didn't happen because of mass flagging, it happened because there was a convenient excuse.
It's about control. Donald can't block 'trolls' on his tweets but we can shadow ban and remove Trump supporters from our platform
It's Hillary's tree house and only she can play in it
This is a great video.,
It would be amazing if they got 150 seats in the riksdag
Those are rookie numbers
we need to get those numbers up
Yes all 349 seats go to ~~NRM~~ AFS
what's all that's pink shit?
Arizona is RED. BLOOD DAMNED RED!
Taco Bell pink slime
pink means leaning republican
lean on your own time, this state IS RED OR DEAD
270towin.com they are the parties of representative and senators currently elected or in the election process
Be mindful though that it does take typical voting trends into account to predict an outcome
I think pink is what used to be called "blue dog democrat".
I live in a pink area on this map. we're not redneck, but not a leftist shithole
Huh "Blue dog democrat" I've never heard of that term before
It's like the West Virginia types
The mountain momma types?
I will say this: I grew up in Illinois and as a kid I didn't understand why a lot of republicans my family knew were frustrated with the Illinois government. Now that I'm older andafter I learned about the dems gerrymandering. I think o get it now.
Which makes looking at this and being told Illinois is a fuckin blue state because of Chicago and the twin cities all the more annoying
YouTube Took his eye
Is that supposed to be a MGSV cosplay?
When people think red = redneck.
Better than red = commies
@jigantie oregon would be pink this cycle. Ghe republicans have a strong bench this year.
And i get that with illinois. Oregon is the same outside of portland/eugene
The real trick is when they're redneck commies though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck_Revolt
lol there's like what, 5?
5 of them in the US?
*pro gun* but *anti everything*
Fucking chaos
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki They're the same types I assume that listen to Metal Mulisha and ICP
I eouldnt go that far.
I doubt Denmark would ever let the Chinese do that
I think the Danish government is working actively to prevent it, since the US are an ally and China is a potential future threat.
Too bad it looks like their solution is to give the awful Greenlandic government even more money.
It should have been sold to the US a long time ago, imho.
Greenland, that is.
It'd be The Other Alaskaยฎ
Yeah, but the US would be in a better position to defend it from Chinese influence.
It would also extend our arctic claims <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
I'd rather you have extended claims, than China getting any.
@Deleted User That gives me a hard on....
I have dreams of being a gold miner
and Denmark wouldn't have to fund their shitty state. Everybody wins, except for China <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
inb4 china calls the arctic sea, the north china sea
or at least capitalizing on the rush
Isn't Russia already trying to claim the Arctic sea?
Of course they are
they're a shadow of their former selves, though
Should have sold it to Bush years ago
AnCapistan intensifies
so Robocop's version of Chicago then, you will only get help from the police if your insurance is in order. sounds just as bad I think
There are so many flaws in the 'free city' idea. The Norway one is wrought with foreign investment. And none of them are actually autonomous, or have ever been. They keep pointing to Hong Kong. And up until recently it was an English territory. Given back to the Chinese and tbh they only hold onto their freedoms tentatively. They are more or less now like other 'capitalist' cities in China. The businesses are owned by 'figureheads' but the real power is still in the gov, as is required of any business operating in china. Ex. Apple.
So as Hong Kong is only free so long as it makes PRC Bureaucrats money.
I'd say Singapore is a better example than HK
"Singapore is a unitary multiparty parliamentary republic with a Westminster system of unicameral parliamentary government. "
Still not what they are saying a "Free City" is.
Yeah it's "Authoritarian", but it's not subject to a higher authority like with HK
The rules *could* change at any time, but they don't so as not to scare away business
I have a proposed trade deal with turkey.
1: You give Greece Constantinople back.
2: You take all of Europeโs migrants.
3: If you send 1 migrant boat over you will be crushed just like your naval fleet during the Fall of Constantinople.
Sound fair? Yes? Alright.
Turkey gets migrants in exchange for land
bringing constantinople back is a good idea
How do you get rid of all of the Muslims there and replace them with Orthodox Christians
<:deus_vult:382980746727522305>
swedish elections will be a shitshow
I can't wait
I kind of hope that a refugee lights a car on fire (or do worse acts) today so the Swedish Democrats and AFS get more votes.
I hope that no property gets destroyed no one gets raped. and all the ecomigrants behave. and swedish democrats still win
I believe they would have to get at least 50% to actually get enough votes to pass their plans
yeah things arent going to be easy
Afs would be the best though
Mate the After Party is gunna be amazing
We live in truly special times
S-W-E!
S-W-E!
I watched black 47 yesterday
Irish nationalism is spilling out of every orifice
does that make me Hannah?
All i know is that micheal collins is the second coming of christ
Or the first coming for all the non christians out there
bike guy
Ireland, just go back to the UK
no u
Given the fact Ireland is an EU tax haven this really won't be good for them
the nightmare of EU is becoming a reality
It's been a warzone for years now <:kermit_spree:378719408438116352>
Ireland? wot about Austria and Italy?
wot about Sweden tomorrow?
Did somebody say ireland?!?!
Yeah ill be honest anti EU sentiment is rare in ireland
But more than that the government are actually putting pro EU sentiment into to education system.
Ireland? more like
niggers
The EU flag is more common than the irish flag in schools.
Honestly it really pisses me off
All the smart Irish left during the famine, or got deported to Australia
Id make a comment but im emmigraring next week
๐๐ป
But yeah ireland is the greatest country on the planet.
Micheal Collins was sent by god himself.
And the US is a puppet to the irish agenda
where you running to?
ireland would do a hell of a lot better leaving the eu and joining the commonwealth... but the paddys are too bitter and stupid to realise it.
They hate the Brits for Cromwell's invasions and the destruction his ilk wrought.
Ireland joined the EU after their economy collapsed
Where's that meme image about how the majority of the chief officers of the WTO(or something similar) all being Irish?
Isn't Gaelic one of the official languages of the EU? Like, everything has to be printed in it? lol
no
I don't think it is
Gaelic is a semi official language, but isn't one of the main working languages, which are German, English and French. These are the main languages in which all main documents are printed in
It is the national language of Ireland and Western Scotland.
They spend 3.6m Euros a year translating stuff into Irish
Good. If not for bloody Cromwell Scotland and Ireland would still be independent and culturally strong.
So you're saying it's the responsibility of an international multi-national government to protect minority culture groups from being exstinguished?
It's the job of a multinational government to GTFO and stop erasing Native cultures through replacement migration (aka, Invasion).
Itโs the job of a multinational monolithic government to do everything they can to facilitate the elimination of whitey. Cause they canโt claim to protect the โnative peoplesโ aka poor defenseless brown people like in the US. Also they canโt pull the whole โwhite people are all immigrants so they need to accept all immigrantsโ argument because, again, the whites are native. Therefore, this is the way to eliminate Evil Whiteyโข๏ธ
TIL nobody has ever been born in Germany
Its true, 40.000 years ago germany was a nation of neantherthals, the homo sapiens immigrated to germany. Everyone there is an immigrant ...
@Dwarforn Small native and cultural languages don't get erased due to migration, but rather because the younger generations don't learn it, and the populations die off. Most commonly these languages aren't passed on because they are no longer taught in school due to standardisation of education
No, that just happens to cucks
Scotland and Ireland were 100% Gaelic before Cromwellian invasions. Read your history lad, he did some nasty shit. @Capitรกn Alatriste
War of the Roses
The loss of Gaelic in Scotland and Ireland wasn't only the result of Cromwell, but a more longer and institutional one. The Country was centralised more during Victorian era, and the education was taught in English due to standardisation. Furthermore, local languages and dialects were suppressed and not allowed in official documents
>*Suppressed*
Yup. The acts of PARLIAMENTARIANS!!!!!!!!!
Scotland was still part of the Personal Union with England at the time, where they had their own government. Full integration didn't occur until the act of Union in 1707, where it became part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
How many schools were there in 1707 to not learn gaelic in?
Schools were a community phenomenon at that time
I believe pre Victorian times, education was a church matter
Hence the local church would speak the regional language
Furthermore, wasn't Scotland on the Parliamentarian side during the English Civil Wars?
Ah ok, except for the third one
Not untill somebody blew up their castles they weren't
Little shit ruined out marvels of fortification with barrels of gunpowder
Is it not a standard tactic to force a langiuage on people you conquer anyway, many regions of the world no longer speak their native languages due to this, spanish, portugese, english, french, russian languages are the main language of many countries where they would not be 'native'.
And i guess that removing a language by forcing trade and official communication in a standard language (eq the conquerors) is a great way to destroy local cultures and make people feel less local and make it easier to assimilate the people.
Yes, because by forcing your language, culture, religion and law you slowly destroy the previous ones, and hence destroy their national identity in order to adopt yours. By doing so the conquered generation won't integrate properly, but the coming ones who will be born under the new leadership will be educated and brought up with it, therefore not opposing the government
Interesting insight, in a silly little country like The Netherlands i can count like 6 different languages, where only two are recognized officially now and that was also a recent thing. On a small scale most languages have now faded into what we call a dialect, and as mentioned earlier only the old people really know the languages from before. There were some efforts to get some recognized as a language like 10 years ago butthat never went anywhere.
If only Guy Fawkes succeeded
The Dutch don't even speak their own language anymore. It's just English these days...
Was there a larger group behind him though, i mean sure you can cripple a government, but would that enact any change if some other people would just swoop in and reform a government like two days after?
It would send shockwaves. The government after it was just as responsible for disaster
Yes, dutch isnot favored in international trade, and we also never dubbed and have horrible media, so most movies, songs and tv shows are in american/english. Youngsters have grown up with LA slang since the 80's. The official language council also has adopted a 'loandword' system where new words added to the language are not reformed to a local form. But that was a thing since Napoleon, as a good portion of dutch is just wierdly spoken french anyway.
SAD!
In belgium the flemish have many words that they duchified, but that is often mocked as backwards. Then again the dutch government has been very international since after ww2
It is surprising esparanto is not a forced track in schools ๐
Being "international" is a dog whistle for being cucked faggots
well okay then
Yup, the dutch gov has been at the forefront of everything europe federation coolio stuff since the beginning. We have had two referendums on europe stuff where the people voted no, and politicials said voting no would bring ww3. Then they just ignored the vote and did it anyway.
Could have solved that with some guns
the people cant have guns, the laws are very strict. Gun owners have to allow law enforcement monthly checkups where they go into your house and inspect your gunsafe, and count your munitions. Also knives over 20 cm are illegal to carry. I believe these lawys were implemented after belgium revolted or something (best revolt ever btw, flemmish took a single ship and the war was over).
Yeah, like I said, guns could have prevented this. Your own damn fault, tbh
I just inherrited this crap ๐
At least Brazil has a politician that wants to reverse gun bans
These laws are old from when there were many angry people, I mean we have had politicians murdered in the netherlands from before the country was even properly started.
America has had 2 Presidents assassinated, and several attempts.
Yeah, we had a stadhouder (basically president) murdered after the king of spain put a bounty on hiss head for supporting the reformation, and later a very public incident on the leader of the then parliament with his brother where a mob quite litteraly tore them apart in the streets. Might be otehrs but those are from when the country was formed into what it is now. like 1500 - 1700 range.
@Fitzydog We've had four assassinated
it is interesting though as i believe the anti gun laws are from a fear of rebellion i have always been told.
Might be interesting to see what the dates and differences are of these laws across europe
woops europe is cucked by the EU gun laws, minimum is forced and stricter is allowed per nation .. nice
the biggest outside force to change Norway's gun laws irr is the EU
Yeah, from reading a few articles is see that after some of the shootings the dutch presidency (who else) made it super strict on the eu level.
@Hazzardous just saw your earlier message now
(Will copy and paste here so you dont have to scroll back)
*ireland would do a hell of a lot better leaving the eu and joining the commonwealth... but the paddys are too bitter and stupid to realise it.*
Let me jusy explain a few of the reasons thats retarded.
For a start ireland holds all the chips in the northern border negotiations and the idea they would throw that away as well as compromise the independance of the nation is laughable alone without even considering that you think theyd be better off and arent doing it out of spite.
Secondly the while trade with britain holds the plurality the majority of irish trade is to the rest of europe and america as well as a lucratice pharmacuitical amd polymer deal with china. The nation stands to lose a lot of business if they are forced to spend years redrawing their trade agreements.
Next you have to consider that ireland now holds the place of the only EU nation with english as its primary langauge. This combined with the nations status as a tax haven with a highly educated workforce has attracted large offices for many multinational companies such as abbots google facebook phiser medical and so on.
The very idea that you think the citizenry of our country are too stupid and bitter to join up with the commonwealth is laughably retarded. The reality is ireland will be swimming in international investment from every company *including british ones* looking for a window into the EU and youd do well to think about that before you chat shit again.
Tldr im patriotic
> a total ban on all semi-automatic firearms capable of being fitted with a magazine with more than six rounds, i.e. all pistols and most existing semi-automatic rifles. So thats the dutch contribution to stopping the terror, we did it bois!
๐ซ
still strange that most of the crime that involves guns here is people of middle east ancestry
and in Sweden where you have stick gun laws, the streets are flooded with AK47 and other automatic assault weapons. and dont start on hand granades as that is the new firecrackers over there
yes
the sand people like to throw grenades through apartment windows
We have been lucky so far, there is a massive gun running scheme in The Netherlands, but most are trades away agai, since the end of the Bosnian conflict a pipeline of old russian weapons started and seems to just never have stopped.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3092362/shocking-police-pictures-reveal-10000-weapon-arsenal-intended-for-the-hands-of-terrorists-including-howitzers-machine-guns-and-grenades/ last year in spain
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-security-raids/german-police-raid-places-linked-to-suspected-islamist-militant-seize-guns-idUSKBN1CU0W3 no problems with guns and radical Muslims in Germany
So normal citizens must be a member of a shooting club, and be registered, have to have a gunsafe and store and move munitions separate from their weapon, have a licence, renew every 5 years have to do a psychological and medical examination (every 5 years too i guess) and allow law enforcement to riffle through their home.. you would not download a car .... this is why people pirate
Mein gott
The mortar shells are a new tactic
in norway I need a goverment aproved gun safe and be a member of a shooting club for a hand gun, for hunting weapons all I need is a safe and payed the gun and hunting tax
norways is not in the eu right, its only doing the market access thing?
Makes sense though
yea we are only EU light
Rifles have limited mag and can't be consealed easily
There was a politician in Czech republic i believe that wanted to lax the gun laws, but i guess he cant even get that done unless they leave the EU
the labour party did try twice to get Norway in the EU but the constitution demands a vote and both times they failed so they did make a deal with EU that to this day is controversial as it was borderline braking the constitution
Hmm, the dutch constitution has a similar thing where it is treason to subject the nation below another power effectively ending the sovreign state, we had a referendum, voted no. A year later our prime minister at the time signed the lisbon agreement and placed the EU laws above our constitution.
Since then many laws have had to be changed to 'align' with eu regulations
The first time EU did want Norway to join was the huge fishing zones as at the time they had fished their own zones to the braking point. last time it was the oil
Yeah, the spanish armada is also notourious over here, many protest about those just being allowed to empty the sea right in front of the mostly very mutch smaller boats of the lcoals.
This it fact
<:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
How you change fact
In term of obesity density probably
I could argue with him but it's a loaded question
My country is socially and culturally extention of NY and CA culture, geographycally a province in the federated states of the european union I can only agree that it is true. <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>
In my country everyone is referred to as brother and sister (It's part of the structure of the language) and the community structure is thought of as many flowers growing in one beautiful garden
superior in what. what aspect.
flint michigan called for their water
Nestle has bottled water you can buy on the open market, flint dont need no handouts from the government <:thisisfine:378719407981199363>
Can't fix Flint cus they keep voting Democrat
<:covfefe:440543908846632980>
@ParaHydrogen Mexico has a bigger obesity problem.
@Joe_Limon well, as far as I know, USA is still on the podium of the countries having the highest density of obesity.
Oh indeed
That said, liberalism and capitalism is so powerful they changed the game. Rather than people starving, people are now dying of too much food
well stop stuffing your face then?
``` dying of too much food```
I dunno if you can die of this
dying from morbid obesity
@ParaHydrogen at least we arenโt samoa
@Puma, does it mean your proud to be on the podium? The wage per capita in USA is probably much higher, why don't people buy healthy food then?
@ParaHydrogen the us has a higher population as well.
Wage doesnt equate to anything like that. Higher wages tend to also mean higher cost of living. As well the food desert is a real thing in the us
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki yes that's why I am involving % and per capita instead of number of people which doesn't make sense.
The 20 most obese places in the world
American Samoa
Nauru
Cook Islands
Tokelau
Tonga
Samoa
Palau
Kiribati
Marshall Islands
Kuwait
Saint Kitts and Nevis
Micronesia
The Bahamas
Barbados
Belize
Qatar
Egypt
United States
Saudi Arabia
Bahrain
Top 20 per capita
In order highest to lowest
The difference between the us and uk is about 5% and it knocks them 25 slots down. Which shows really how similar a lot of countries are tbh
Basically confirms what i just posted lol. What i posted is just individual lists where the one you posted flows more regional.
Yes, well, in these series of stats USA or in the podium most of the time
The 20 least obese countries in the world
Ethiopia
Bangladesh
Nepal
Eritrea
Madagascar
Vietnam
Democratic Republic of the Congo
India
Cambodia
Afghanistan
Burkina Faso
Niger
Laos
Timor-Leste
Chad
Burundi
Central African Republic
Zambia
North Korea
Burma
Least to most
Common theme there many were or are communist or 3rd world
