Yeah the trans people don't seem to get that
Let me assure you, your far left are about as far removed from individualism as it can get
Ok but the left/right division of politics is retarded so if I’m “left wing” whatever
How little you know of us. Most of the history of civilization (which started in 1776) is the history of pushing the barbarian horde out of our continent. 2 wars with the British. We bought out the French and the Ruskies. We then went to war with the Spanish and kicked their ass so hard we ended up in the Philippines. Which was confusing because WTF are we going to do with the Philippines?
At the beginning of the second ~~mad attempt by the barbarians to kill each other possibly interrupting commerce~~ World war we traded Town Class Destroyers for the last military bases the Europeans had on our side of the planet.
I just don't want people forcing kids into something they are not...is that so hard to get?
You forgot to mention that time we mass migrated to Mexico and seceded, then conquered half their country which as a Texan I think is epic
Well and I don't want an irresponsible populace to have the right to take part in the mob rule process
But the government is meant to fight for the majority correct? This is a government for the majority.
Government does whatever it can to consolidate its power. It has no other purpose than that.
But government is the will of the people no?
Hardly forgot. But it is worth remembering that the largest 'migration' of Mexicans to the US happened when we *annexed* them. Not that I am against such a thing. Unlike Yurip Mexicans have normal civilized shit like cowboys...
Nah it's really not, and it never was.
Government is separate from the country, and the sooner people understand that the sooner we can rid ourselves of their mafia shit.
But brood the issue is with your philosophy is that you would allow too much.
Maybe, I'm not gonna claim I have all the answers.
The way I see it, individualism won't happen anyway. There are too many collectivists, or people who get fooled by that idea.
So it'll be an eternal struggle between twose two ideas.
But that black pill won't make me give up on individualism. It just means I gotta think strategically.
As long as there's a sort of stalemate where collectivism doesn't rule I'm sort of ok with things going the way they do.
I think the reason you’re failing is because you aren’t accounting for the amount of chaos happening now days. People become more group focused when the situation becomes unstable.
Yep, that's the reason why I try to think strategically. Trying to predict what will happen next, trying to prepare for it, trying to influence it a little.
I wouldn’t fret too much m8. I don’t think you’ll lose your human rights. I think people are just becoming aware that they’re collectively are under attack.
A few years ago I asked some of my US-based friends to fight for their gun rights because it's the last bastion of freedom. If the US falls, that'd be a symbolic loss that would have huge consequences.
Gun rights are not going, if they do, then we deserve what happens to us. At a certain point we’ve become so liberal we just won’t fight anymore, so if we’re that Much of a bitch then I couldn’t have the nerve to feel bad
Americans had to fight for their gun rights before. It might have to be done again.
It's not a matter of "deserve" imo.
In Europe we have a kind of saying, that we Europeans "earn" money, but Americans "make" money.
That difference in the mindset is pretty important. It concerns gun rights as well.
Back then I've adopted the "maker" mindset and it has helped me a lot in life. Some of my family has the maker mindset, and some don't. The ones who fare better have the maker mindset. It's undeniably better.
Actually related because of the Turkish move to send more invaders into Greece.
mass migration has always been a weapon, there are heaps of examples of Empires relocation thousands of ethnic minorities to another part of the Empire to form a buffer state or to dilute a country's unity. Most recently we've seen it with Turkey moving Syrians into Rojava to weaken Kurdish hegemony over the region
...usually *following* a conquest, not preceding it
Turkey hasn't begun moving Syrian refugees back into areas conquered from the Kurds though
But they have had their Syrian proxies set up shop in Afrin
@Coolitic usually because the nation/group being replaced understands what’s going on and don’t particularly want it to happen
I think the simpler explanation is extortion. Turkey wants the EU to write them a check. Unfortunate timing as the EU just lost one of their largest sources of income.....
Yeah, because turkey just wants money...
Turkey is like DSP
Both are roaches, and they NEED the money
>insert le epic DSP meme here
Turkey has already been given money
3 billion
