yet the first karate club wasn't started in Japan until around the 1930s
It's when I come across stuff like this that I get creeped out...
https://www.quora.com/Why-is-national-identity-important
huh
@Fitzydog those answers are pretty gay
it should be renamed to queera
Lol right? But look at those upvotes. If that's a popular opinion with no counter argument.... D:
tbh,it's not a very well seen question
there are actual nationalists on quora and they do get upvotes
@Fitzydog do you frequent quora or?
No, I'm just throwing shit at the wall, talking out my ass, and sampling the Internet waters.
IMO, this identitarian nonsense is really unhealthy and won't fade away on its own.
shits, assholes and water
got it
What can I say? I'm a plumber
"True Communism has never existed" is correct only insofar as Communism as is preached is fantasy
"True Communism has never been tried" is a bit more iffy, since many countries have tried to move towards implementing Communism - and the fact that everything has gone to shit before even reaching the end-goal is testament to the utopian fallacy of 'tw00' Communism
Regarding Quora, certain questions are just designed to fit a narrative.
yep
So only a certain group of people will look for them, and answer them.
Good point @Reaps
"Does capitalism kill more than communism?", nobody sane would ask that. Commies will flock to that question.
yep
But under capitalism 86 million people have died due to โpoverty related causesโ
@Deleted User ww2 was caused by commies
And Iโm getting this from that one image I posted earlier lol
they can get stuffed
Same with "Is the Bible pro-slavery?", will have a ton of nuatheists misquote Jesus telling a parable, implying a character in the parable is Jesus himself admitting to having servants/slaves.
commies led to the death camps
WWII was caused by the Nazis lol
@Deleted User Which would never have happeend if the commies were destroyed
A) what qualifies poverty-related
B) how many people have died from 'poverty-related causes' under a Communist government
C) is dying from your government *not* paying attention to you better or worse than dying because your government *decided* to pay attention to you
Those terms are way too vague to mean something
Here's a question: are most African countries capitalist?
Also, they are probably counting violence due to poverty as a reason of those deaths
Say, in South Africa, it's illegal to sell water.
You know, that one place that's running out of water real quick?
wow
Like, is it worse for a government not to directly be responsible for feeding the population (and some of the population starving to death) or for a government to go out of the way to take food away from you "for the greater good" and you starve to death?
Or to round up your entire village and ship you off to starve to death in a prison camp?
Or just shoot you all into a mass grave?
How much of capitalism is that?
I wonder how many of those supposed "deaths due to capitalism" come from the African countries where the government keeps undermining their own population.
"Capitalism" is to socialists what "J00s" are to tinfoilers
^
"Cuba is a shithole"
YEAH WELL THAT'S CAUSE CAPITALISTS WON'T LET THEM TRADE
They can trade with Europe
I guess
As Sargon pointed out, the point of communism is that trade would become obsolete.
Plus, if they actually couldn't trade, Cuban cigars wouldn't be a thing
"Isn't trade a capitalist ide-"
SHUTUP
So, no Communist state would ever need to trade.
wish I could find the video
but they were interviewing people in Venezuela
including shopkeepers and business owners
all of whom were complaining about how they couldn't make any money because of the situation
and the comments were like
I KNEW IT
THE TRUTH COMES OUT
THESE FUCKERS JUST WANT CAPITALISM
and I'm over here like wait waaaaaaaaaaaat
I guess they just want to eat
And have a decent life
And they are not having that with the glorious socialism
SO SELFISH
Y R THEY SO SELFISH FULCRUM
THEY'RE TRYING TO DESTROY SOCIALISM
They have to think at the greater good!!!!
THIS IS ***THEIR*** FAULT THAT VENEZUELA IS COLLAPSING
I BET THEY'RE ALL FUNDED BY THE US GOVT
Maduro actually blamed the US government for Chavez's cancer
Maduro is a lunatic
Lol
Free helicopters rides for communists
Has anyone listened to King Of Kings from Hardcore History? Very interesting insight into the political climate of the Achaemenid Empire, and their relatively 'liberal', multicultural society.
Stalin looks like Jason Alexander with a wig
lol
He looks so awkwardly familiar
but can't quite put my finger on it
If nothing else that thumbnail looks like a screenshot from Red Alert
From the thumbnail, he looks like Maduro
hitler was such a fucking idiot
there's a difference between actual ruthless cunning dictators that will outsmart you at every turn until the police shoots you in your garden like Stalin, Saddam Hussein or Erdogan
and thought-leaders like hitler who usually have no fucking clue what they're doing when given control of an army
Yep
Thought leader with a group of Yes-men surrounding him.
It's like a circle jerk of Aryan superiority
https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/992589114670243840 HAHAHAHA what a dumb human being. He should be removed from office by force. Incompetent little boy
Just.... send me forward in time by 6 months
his yes-men were actually quite competent which was hitler's only saving grace but the war effort was pretty much lost on his back because there was no saying no to him XD
Exactly

I remember when Weavs did this the first time
oh, the memories.

Really heartbreaking story from PhotonicInduction (Youtuber with about 360k subscribers) about his experiences with UK immigration. He talks about how he's contemplating suicide, so I suspect the video will get taken down.
Maybe his Indian wife should join ISIS, that would speed up her paperwork.
And free council housing, too!
Pretty woke on how degenerate Marx was as a human being...

Question: is classical liberalism left or right?
It's the center these days
also, is anarcho-capitalism and libertarianism the same thing?
No, anarcho capitalism argues that the state as an entity is fundamentally immoral as an agent of force
Libertarianism is ethically ambiguous about the state, and is defined in the modern day as 'minarchist'
Iโd say classical liberalism, and Enlightenment ideas in general, can apply to both the left and right.
In the 'ideal' Left/Right dichotomy, it is assumed that both sides are operating under the pretense that Enlightenment values are correct.
^
Classical liberalism seems more right wing now due to the loons on the left
They're subversive socialists, trying to undermine western democracy, because they're butt hurt they won't be able to succeed within it. They'll implode after a while, hopefully, once people wake up to it.
Theyโre doomed to not go very far. Americans are allergic to radicals. In Europe though, there could be problems.
It'll spread back over. The mainstream left is slowly getting the idea that the words their politicians spout are contrary to the policies they put forward. They've got an 'okay' moral compass, albeit one that just aligns with every around them, but most people aren't going to be persuaded into radical leftism with the Internet being available.
Islam is the real threat to the west, imo.
classical liberalism seems right wing because the window got shifted
If the progressive, left-wing movement is illiberal, then liberals are conservatives.
They are ready. Liberal isn't an antithetical definition to conservative
Mhm
Progressive is the opposite of conservative, and people will tell you they're both liberal. (But progs aren't, cause utilitarianism)
Thereโs going to be a shift soon, and the pendulum will change directions to the right, just as it went left in the 60โs, as a result of the liberals becoming conservatives due to perspective
Nah, that's not how it works anymore. Leftist philosophy is being destroyed before our eyes. We'll see a shift to politics more similar pre-WW2 dichotomies
(In my opinion)
Well, back in the 50โs and before, conservatism was deeply rooted everywhere, and being a lefty was counterculture and weird. Now, leftism is everywhere, and liberalism/conservatism is counterculture. But it is possible that the democrats/left go back to pre-WWII as they struggle to survive. Could even be a party flip flop, where the left tries to go back and the right moves forward. Thatโd be weird.
Anyway, good talking to ya, but I need some sleep. Adieu

Sweet
@Deleted User Ancaps are a subset of libertarians. Not all libertarians are ancaps.
@Deleted User is a commie
it's sort of expected that she'd conflate libertarians with ancaps
@Deleted User I think any average person would. It's not exactly a mainstream concept
that's because they're sheeple
No, it's because not everyone is a politics nerd like we are lol
lol
He is actually right in this one
For real, when you take a step back from all this, you feel like you arw taking small stuff way too seriously
who?
<:pepe_sad:378719408345841664>
Fitz
Take a month break of reading politics, and the world will seems perfect
That's why I understand people who don't see "the cultural war" or "the Muslim problem"
Even the problem with illegal migration
It's like the Man Behind the Curtain from wizard of oz
They are just uniformed about a subject
And since their lives are going without problems, they don't care
Which seems to be a bigger problem, if most people aren't taking into consideration externalities for their long term plans
@Fitzydog
Yeah
To understand the problems, and their implications
You have to actually look for it
Inform yourself about what's happening
And most people just don't do that
no wonder people can act so ignorant about a problem/issue
No, I'm not a communist.
I don't bother learning what anarcho-anything means, because I know the person identifying with it is a lunatic.
@Deleted User well, considering you were wanting to ban people off the server because they said something you didn't like, you kinda sound like a commie.
Well, if you think that too much government involvement is a bad thing, anarchism doesn't sound all too crazy @DanielKO
@Fitzydog I was kidding.
@DanielKO Anarcho capitalism isn't really anarchy anyways. It's also called 'voluntarism', due to the natural proclivity of people to form groups for mutual defense.
Sounds great for a Mad Max world.
No, it wouldn't be like that at all. More like really big HOAs, and city states.
When you think about it, Anarcho capitalism is more like 18th century North America, with the population centers having rules, but there's the option to leave for somewhere else if you'd like. The 'state' didn't really impact the individual at all.
@Deleted User is a communist thot
don't let her honeyed words deceive you
we need liberalist thotsquads
taking out the thots
Lol
@Deleted User is stupid asf
@Deleted User is a hoe
......
I will just stay quiet
Finally an interview that's worth anyone's time.
He talks about his commie past.
Yeah, it's pretty good
He also puts down his long term goal: to fix these ambiguous laws
Cool
The problem is, fixing the laws is just as easy as ruining them.
Guaranteed free speech is the only way in the 21st century
All he needs to fix it is for the sitting parliament to change the laws.
All that's needed to ruin it again is for the next parliament to pass the fucked up laws again.
It's a miracle the UK hasn't collapsed prior to now, with their convoluted system
Maybe the problem isn't that it's convoluted, but it's simplistic. Anything can be passed into law, any law can be undone.
Well, i.e. try explaining to a brit how the Alfie Evans case is a byproduct of their government.
They don't even use the same definition for 'government' as the US does. So confusing...
"It's not the government! It's the courts!"
<:what:382980756139409409>
It's more the fact that the US has different definitions for literally everything political than europeans have
Itโs not our fault you guys are faggots
Britian being one of the few exceptions cause they're backwards as fuck and haven't implemented a basic law or MMP yet
You're the faggots you don't have MMP <:thronk:441701565607444482>
Iโm sorry, I donโt talk to parliamentary faggots
But we have parties that aren't cancer and so spread a government and political system it's impossible to create a swamp in <:think_woke:378717098681171988>
Or well, looking at the somewhat famous semifinals resolution, 'it's slightly inconvenient to create a swamp in"
Europeans are cucks

Interesting developments
https://twitter.com/NSAGov/status/992542638527209472 this amazing man will be missed as its director. I look forward to seeing his successor in action
How do they even have computers to plug the USBs into? The defectors, I mean.
Defectors?
You mean NK? They have an entire nationwide intranet
Majority of the population doesn't even have electricity.
Oh, well yeah. But the USB drive is for Kim
The more affluent people have DVD players for state propaganda, and USB drives with movies get smuggled in though
Yes, this one. The article talks about how they smuggle USB drives in for the people to defect.
So I wonder if the majority of the defectors were high class to begin with.
The further from the Chinese border you are, I assume the more affluent you have to be in order to even get there.
The whole "let's appease him with presents" is disgusting, honestly.
Idk, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the maximum he can before he bails out
I'm still in shock about the words "Korean peace"
Kim Jong Un doesn't need just a deal to grant a comfy future for his family, but also for his close supporters. Otherwise he'll get assassinated and replaced before he can sign the deal.
So, is "peace" worth it if he stays in power, the government stays the same?
Just the threats of nuking everyone gone?
Check out Michael Malices stuff on youtube, and his twitter feed. If anyone in the West is an expert on NK, he is.
His close circle doesn't work like it does in say Venezuela
@DanielKO
It's probably what will happen tbh
He don't want to leave power
@DanielKO The Koreas had a computer that was basically their equivalent of the President's Russian Hotline. It operates as a console that has a phone embedded into it and uses software on the machine to make the connection to the other end.
The thing still runs Windows XP
lol
Still better than win 10 @Legiondude
I don't mind Windows 10...now
Had some issues with my family's comp and that free upgrade offer
I asked the assassination question here

@Broo TulsiGang 2024 ๐ฌ๐ง ๐บ๐ธ sexy ๐ป
Hmmmmm ๐ค๐ค
@Reaps other than the shitty editing, and the obscure references.... it was still an overly simplistic video that explains nothing.
So I'm seeing some retards trying to coin the term "Free Speech Warriors".
ok
thoughts?
God this is infuriating why is it ok to kiss Stalin and Marx's ass? https://youtu.be/qT1JAzhywfA
From Jimmy Door by the way
Why would it be not ok to kiss anyone's ass?
Since their name is Stalin or Marx
Now you are coming from a bad place Broo Chav. That of suppression and not that of freedom.
You can kiss their ass if you want, I just dont think the like ratio should be 90% positive.
