Well on the bright side, I am now informed of another potential threat from within that group. Will be monitoring more closely.

But that said, don't regret it on her account. The promotion was a good deed none the less, certainly grateful for it.

I think if anyone gets a spot on rogan it should be Ernst or someone with his experience in media and communication, dude has the patience and tolerance of a shaolin monk. and he wont get overly emotional and raise his voice, which if someone gets that way it will make them/him look bad because people will see it as him being extremist or some kind of white supremacist.

Yeah though I've seen him unravel a bit when faced with lies... He definitely holds his ground better these days though, but i agree, his entire career revolves around this, he is the most knowledgeable on the topic and certainly the most experienced with public relations in that regard.

some people got pissed for him being to calm in parliament but they seem to forget that the internet is forever and the international community are watching closely, so if he was more aggressive it would have just given people more ammo to attack him with. but the made the members of parliament look bad by staying calm and letting them show their true colors.

He kept his cool, i really admired that, even though he was firm in his tone. People want drama and emotions, and they want him to express their emotions... It's like a fcking entitlement thing. And i agree, if he went the emotional route, he wouldn't come across as reasonable, and would resemble those Suidlanders with how they like to express emotion and come across as dictators.

and that's why people easily write off suidanders because they are seen as people who want war.

they see the emotions rather than the arguments and reasons, so if there is little emotion then you are kind off forced to look at the arguments

I wish that was true, everyone that opposed Ernst insisted on putting their emotions before his reasoning, one of them even childishly covered their ears. They just didn't give flying fck. Being calm and reasonable doesn't guarantee someone bothers to look at the argument presented.

well it definitely increases the chances

the hearing or "show" in parliament was more for international viewers, showing the contrast between the crazy members in government and the reasonable people who want to save their country

Yeah I'll agree with that, definitely a win for the international community to see we aren't crazy 🤪 the hate is real

Renaldo was not banned just for that one act, he was on the edge of the cliff already, his "shuttup" comment was just the final straw.

the left are making people more conservative without even knowing, people already side with the Right just for being more reasonable and able to have a conversation without shouting and crying. so without even hearing arguments of the right people will tend to go to the most reasonable side

The testimony server is a place where likeminded people get together that want to make a difference.

Not a platform for debatimg if our cause is legitimate or not.

Ah okay, I figured might possibly be the case that the decision might have been made up before then. But still a perma ban? Was it a kick or a ban?

Ban.

Hmm... Yeah, i think that's harsh for someone that just disagrees.

GG @rdp, you just advanced to level 5!

Why do you think South Africa and the rest of Africa has such a low IQ

why do you randomly post it here in general? very random

Because we need to speak about it

IQ tests typically have mathematics and spelling in the questions, a lot of Africa is uneducated because of the lack of schools and because of that they lose quite a few points on those questions

Yeah I agree it is a topic that needs more discussion. And this math and spelling portions are outdated, new IQ tests are purely visual puzzles that don't involve those anymore.

@rdp IQ needs to be developed. You could not of ask baby Elon musk to do math. But if he teach him math he will catch up quickly. They may be a lot of Elon Musk Level IQ people in Africa. But they can't developed it cuz we have shity education

@Klipkop (Clip-Cop) Do you understand the irony of your statement? So now people that might not agree 100% with everything that is said should be kicked? What about the insulting things this woman said about me? Why was she not kicked days ago too? You guys want to talk about freedom of speech but then you kick people for doing exactly that. Who are the snowflakes now?

I remember many of you guys stating you don't believe in banning people but now look at where you guys are... So much for being open to all opinions... now you guys are turning into just another echo chamber

@andrews2547 https://www.mensa.org obviously doesn't test English spelling or ask people who've never been educated in math to solve math problems. A proper IQ test involves a one on one oral evaluation between the subject and a very well trained professional, in cases of larger groups being tested they adapt the tests to suit the culture/language as to eliminate such problems.

@Rendier i wonder if i comment on your ban if i will be banned. Ah screw it. Tara is a mod. That is why she is not banned.

I agree with Renaldo on this, it's a fair argument. Banning is extreme for just not agreeing. His behavior might have warranted a kick, but banning sounds like censorship honestly. Renaldo is a few things, but a threat akin to Antifa he is not.

@Meerkat_RSA You heard what @Klipkop (Clip-Cop) said... the server is for like minded people... so basically an echo chamber.

And here are the rules and i see nothing about insulting

I logged onto the server and saw a post about Arminius saying that Rogan responded... I then asked him in the chat what happened and then Tara threw a jab my way saying "Not this guy again, why is he still here"... so I told her to shut up, I wasn't speaking to her. Then she banned me because she is a snowflake

She also said two days ago that I should be kicked from the server because I spoke out against the old RSA flag. It's quite ironic that people like her would bitch about Julie Eccles but then acts in pretty much the same way by swinging the ban hammer around because someone opposes her view of the world

@Meerkat_RSA See .4 in the rules

If you are seen by them as the type of person who needs to acknowledge farm murders..and they are trying to inform people of farm murders. By banning you will do the opposite.

"My feelings was hurt so I will enforce rule 4." Sounds legit.
