I make fun of them constantly for it. He’s gotta do better to deserve my respect.

@Jacob yeah, the boroughs of New York City correspond to 5 counties too. It’s weird

Manhattan is New York county, Brooklyn is Kings county

Queens is queens

speaking of the Germany thing

I just remembered a story

Back in the day, my dad considered moving to Germany, but chose not to because it was "too nationalistic" for him

@Jacob lol how?

Apparently they had graffiti saying "Polen raus" and old people would say mean stuff

@Jacob What decade was it?

80s

Huh. Well German Nationalism has only been mainstreamed in Germany since Merkel's migrant crisis. There's always been some hints of it here and there though.

Ran into some cops at a local diner.
Told them to stay safe and that "it's ok to be white."
They got a kick out of it

@Axel Ya lol I have no idea how he had that kind of experience. Wait, maybe it was Austria he was talking about. That would make more sense.

Oh, for sure

He definitely lived in Austria for 2 years

Interesting history

Did Austria have nationalist movements for longer?

If so, then this makes a lot of sense

Well after the war, nationalism was basically the European "n-word". It is possible that they've had bigger movements there than Germany has. Something I'd like to research, actually.

I can't imagine it was too close to '45, since for a long time after the war nationalist and nazi were perceived as synonymous there. Similar to what the left is trying to pull on Trump right now.

@Axel I could ask my dad about it, but I don't know if I want to re-open the topic lol

Anybody on?

yo

Hello

Are you guys planning on attending the conference next year?

So according to Wikipedia, the Republican Party is now considered “right-wing to far-right”

I would like to, haven't been able to make any set plans yet though

Yea Wikipedia is pretty leftist controlled I try to use alternatives when I can like Infogalatic

@Axel yea I would like do but to be honest the doxing is a concern for me

@Ryan - IN I can totally relate. I share your exact concern.

I know the chances are small but the consequences are huge especially since my wife stays home so I’m the only income

@Ryan - IN I'm not married, but the consequences are very large for me too. I'm glad some people here can empathize.

I will be attending LoPF2
Please have theme music prepared

There is no Sasquatch battle music so ork music will have to do

paleowolf, is that like the new keto or something

@Axel I definitely can understand. My company just started a diversity and inclusion department lol they have an employers resource group for everyone but straight white men, but at least I can be an ally for some other group haha

I don't think there will be a large doxxing threat involved with attending the conference

@Deleted User it is a highly testosteronous band. Orkforge is his side project
