nope

2018-08-29 00:06:27 UTC  

Since most places are not going to make two separate English services.

2018-08-29 00:06:29 UTC  

remember "we have changed our terms and conditions" emails

2018-08-29 00:06:42 UTC  

that i believe was because of EU regulations

2018-08-29 00:06:45 UTC  

The Culture war isn't actually the American Culture war anymore. It's a anglophone culture war.

2018-08-29 00:06:54 UTC  

And I don't think people realize this.

2018-08-29 00:06:58 UTC  

yea

2018-08-29 00:07:00 UTC  

some do

2018-08-29 00:07:01 UTC  

But you can see it on this server.

2018-08-29 00:07:15 UTC  

but they focus on their particular part of it

2018-08-29 00:07:15 UTC  

All the Canadians, all the Brits, all playing US politics.

2018-08-29 00:07:23 UTC  

yea

2018-08-29 00:07:30 UTC  

kinda

2018-08-29 00:07:33 UTC  

Yeah, this is actually why I think the nationalism thing will eventually die.

2018-08-29 00:07:42 UTC  

The only way to fight effectively is in a group.

2018-08-29 00:08:02 UTC  

And if you are just dividing yourself and not supporting other national groups, you'll eventually lose.

2018-08-29 00:08:07 UTC  

the problem is with what kind of nationalism

2018-08-29 00:08:22 UTC  

i support civic

2018-08-29 00:08:48 UTC  

Everyone fusses so much over definitions I'm not going to attempt to label too much.

2018-08-29 00:09:04 UTC  

But I would say that there's a broader war here that alot of people are missing.

2018-08-29 00:09:16 UTC  

Nationalism is harmless on it's own.

2018-08-29 00:09:37 UTC  

No worse than cheering for a sports team.

2018-08-29 00:09:44 UTC  

I'd actually say that for the immediate future, nationalism is a good thing.

2018-08-29 00:09:48 UTC  

Except you're a part of that team.

2018-08-29 00:10:20 UTC  

extreme nationalism comes and goes based on the state of the world imo

2018-08-29 00:10:48 UTC  

when things are going well it is less prevalent

2018-08-29 00:10:53 UTC  

Telling people to put their god damned 'abolish borders, abolish ice, abolish profit' signs and come be a fucking American with me is harmless.

2018-08-29 00:11:24 UTC  

Telling people to do that, or else consequences

2018-08-29 00:11:31 UTC  

THAT'S where the problems start

2018-08-29 00:11:39 UTC  

(Freudian slip...?)

2018-08-29 00:11:57 UTC  

yea

2018-08-29 00:11:59 UTC  

I think the bigger thing is that people are looking for communities right now.

2018-08-29 00:12:09 UTC  

Nationalism is a relatively safe community to build IMO

2018-08-29 00:12:20 UTC  

It's not necessarily based on skin color.

2018-08-29 00:12:23 UTC  

they just go to some of the shitty communities sometimes

2018-08-29 00:12:30 UTC  

And it has shared interests and characteristics.

2018-08-29 00:12:32 UTC  

unless its ethnic based

2018-08-29 00:12:35 UTC  

I don't want everyone to be an American.

2018-08-29 00:12:50 UTC  

Yeah, that's the culture war.

2018-08-29 00:12:51 UTC  

I don't want to eliminate everyone who's NOT American.

2018-08-29 00:12:58 UTC  

I just want America to be America.
