Imagine my surprise when I noticed that Nathan Phillips was actually in a Skrillex video.

The drum guy from DC

He's in "Make it bun them"

Gotta agree with the king. Hating is pretty far from productive

I neither love or hate strangers. I just dont care enough to waste so much energy on people I don't know

"Aint gonna waste my hate on you" so to speak

Well, twitter is moist, hot garbage, so no surprise there

I think twitter is slowly dying. Its way past its prime

I'm risking sounding like a overly fancy lad now, but there was a german philosopher named Heigel that had a theory about societies working on a pendulum theory. Too far in any extreme will cause the pendulum to swing equally extreme to the other side eventually. Only when the swinging stops or is moderate a society will truly progress.

Its just physics. One action provokes an equal reaction.

@ThreeOfOne Hopefully the direction is forward

@ThreeOfOne I'd say "moderation". A little left, a little right, quite a bit of center

Well, if Hillary runs, the Dems are doomed. Same with Occational Cortex

Manifest destiny? As in what?

I dunno, you are at least giving them the alternative to give you their shit and live

Seriously?

Trump is 70?

Huh. Gotta hand it to him. He doesnt look it.

@ThreeOfOne I think our definitions of "extreme" might be a bit different.

My country for example, hasn't conquered shit for over 200 years. Its doing alright though

He'll get that good old white house magic when he's prez

Bernie is a social democrat. Hardly Stalin material

Social democracy and robust welfare system? Sounds like Sweden

@momoneymoproblems Those problems arent economic though.

Thats just Malmö. Fuck malml

I'd more say that Swedens problem is that our society always hinged on a homogenous population. So when we started getting people who were very different from us, we didn't know how to make them into swedish citizens. Assimilation is a dirty word here :/

I'd say that the reason why we cant separate people is that we cant really force people to live anywhere

And there are not a lot of big cities here.

@Atkins Man, if I knew how to fix poverty, I would be pretty famous

@Strufa We're actually starting to do that now

But change is slow as fuck in a democracy

@Atkins The thing is that most foreign people here arent immigrants. They are asylum seekers. So they fall into a whole other category. And denying asylum to people from war torn countries is illegal according to the U.N

I don't think many people from run to australia from warring nations

Ah yeah, the guy with the big hat

@momoneymoproblems And Europe went on crusades down there for something along those times as well

Uh noi

You dont go to a place and invade every town and make the people there pay taxes "in defence"

Reconquista wasnt a crusade though.

No it wasnt.

Tbh, Byzantium also got sacked by crusaders 😃

Still, that puts the whole "holy war" into question, when christian crusaders sack a christian city

I'd say both. Since they were sanctioned by the pope, they were holy in essence

But economic in practice

@momoneymoproblems I bet the Jihads were perfectly reasonable and justifiable to the muslims as well.

Of course not

Soldiers had it way better during the Roman empire. Do your tour, get paid, get a plot of land and political rights.

Crusaders also met people in melee, with swords, at point blank. I think that might be a bit stressful

Do that for a while and you might break something inside

As have every empire ever

Never underestimate russian winters though

I think the only ones to actually manage to conqure Russia was the Mongols

Didnt the russians just abandon moskau? Even set fire to it?

Or was that WW2?

Oh the NAzis were in the suburbs of Moscow

Thank fuck they did

If I could choose, I'd go back in time and become the applications guy at the art school Hitler wanted to join

It would have been better for a lot of people if he just became an artist instead

I dont think I could, honestly

A baby is just a baby.

Ah yes, Red Alert

Even if Hitler was gone, Stalin would still remain

@Strufa Wouldnt that lead to fallout hitting the U.S with the tropical storms though?

But what about the excellent cigars?

And bananas :C

I'd say, just invade cuba with regular arms, and not amphetamined up exile cubans, but real soldiers

Baby che do-do-do-do-do

But who would teenagers wear t-shirts with then?

Both look like giant babies

Yep

No argument there

I guess they could wear Karl Marx on their t-shirts

Angry Santa

Molyneux? The Fable guy?

wut

Aaah, a Dr Phil type of thing?

I mean like a talk show thing

Or Robocop

I had a perfectly fine ubringing by a single mom

i didnt feel attacked, just thought I'd mention it 😃

Speaking of talk shows, I started checking Joe Rogans stuff out

It was pretty cool when he had Jordan Peterssons daughter there. She even speaks like him, it was a bit scary

I'd say it comes down more to if that single parent is poor or not.
