Imagine unironically needing to posture that much that you think being sick is a sign of weakness.

Posturing has to be the weakest thing a person can do, and that is pretty damn embarrassing.

The people who think they're the most immune to propaganda are often the ones most susceptible to it.

That's all statism ever is. Doesn't even matter the topic, it's all about getting someone else to do their dirty work for them.

Depends. If I'm writing in cursive as I mostly do, I'll go with a 7 and come back later to cross it. But if I'm writing in print it's mostly 8. Probably why I struggle with writing an X in cursive if 8 is my default.

The fact there is a distinction between blocking and muting is criminal. It should be solely the same thing.

Because I'm fine if you don't want to listen to certain responses. It's not fine to simply be able to prevent anyone from responding to you bullshit.

Then we're at a disagreement.

That's great rhetoric, but it's not the point. Invaders is a term that's easy for people to dismiss because it's intentionally meant to be dramatic. And I agree that they're invaders, but it doesn't accurately define the issue that normal people can understand the difference between. Asylum seekers are victims in their eyes, economic migrants are opportunistic scavengers.

And it's something that smarmy politicians can't fucking deny that these people are actively gaming the system to avoid normal immigration policy. We all know it, but even the people claiming to support immigration reform refuse to state the cold hard truth that these asylum seekers are not seeking asylum, they're seeking migration. And correctly labelling this reality is, in my opinion, the first small step to admitting the truth. If they cannot even call a spade a spade, they're never going to do the right thing. So why should this too little too late stuff even be acknowledged as being too little when it's not even a step in the right direction, but entirely about saving their own skin and nothing else?

AKA "Wah, we need a slave underclass!"

I swear, leftists routinely expose themselves to be the worst people possible.

How about you start by not calling economic migrants "asylum seekers"? Because we all know they're not. Asylum seekers don't stay in a country. They leave. Migrants migrate. It's that simple.

Oh, you're not going to acknowledge this simple, basic truth? Then you can get fucked.

On live TV you say...... what are you, some kind of journalist?

I don't entirely blame him. Imagine having to come to terms with the reality that your kids death was entirely avoidable if not for scumbag politicians? It's easier to tell people to shut up and bury your head in the sand than come to terms with how preventable it could have been.

To hell with that, that law sucks and blind statism is stupid.

Will do. Won't change that reputation you earned for yourself.

I think a really important aspect of the delineation between small homes and pods is the intended purpose. Pods are, first and foremost, designed to be nothing more than glorified beds with some added luxuries. It's not living, it's barely above surviving. Meanwhile a small home can be a viable type of living.

I think the clearest and best way to see the difference between the two is both the available amenities (pods generally opt for shared amenities, meaning it's not yours), and environment. You can have a little cottage out in a rural area just fine, while a pod is designed to fit as many people in as small a space as possible.

The end result does dramatically differ for the end result. One is a choice. The other is pushed by those that don't have to live in a pod.

Even if he isn't the same pedojeet, it's not like D&C tactics haven't been tried for a long ass time regarding KiA/GG/Anti-SocJus groups. Remember how long and cautious people wanted to be with KiA2 in the first place? And it (arguably rightfully) was cautiously dismissed as a D&C attempt at first until it proved that wasn't what it was, even if the original mods still don't like the place because it showed how well trained those mods are to the Reddit admins.

That's also why a "KiA5" exists. Because there are people who want to further splinter what exists and sow division.

Personally, while I definitely want pedojeet gone, his pithy postings of gore and shit like that is so fucking mundane to me these days, and people that earnestly spend as much time as they do bitching about it only show how young they are regarding the internet, and if they aren't young that even they too have been sanitised just like the rest of the internet has been into this sterile wasteland of mediocrity. I remember when shit like gore was posted on Reddit and it wasn't bannable, namely on WTF. But that's all gone now, and people have absolutely gotten more fragile as a result, and that isn't just applicable to the leftist and normie idiots out there.

Sure. This is all isolated and has absolutely no other context or history regarding how you've behaved in the past.

Just remember that when people dismiss you, it's your own fault. Maybe we're all wrong and you're not just some D&C troll. Maybe you have legitimate issues. But your behaviour has ensure that all gets ignored because you set off too many red flags. And that's on you.

Let's see, I'm torn between "What would you ultimately do differently if you were doing D&C shit" with the answer being "nothing at all" and mocking that you have "other things to do" when you've made a dedicated account to shitting on a moderator you dislike. Like yeah, jannies are fags, but you're going out of your way to single this one out.

But sure, you're "too busy" as you shitpost on an internet board and get pissy by one of the oldest online trolling attempts out there, and the response has long been to ignore/downvote, report, block and move on, not obsess about it for months on end. Lurk more, child.

You've already made a name for yourself and it's clear nobody here wants you as some weird keyboard vigilante for the board. Maybe take the hint that what you're selling isn't what people here want to buy.

If you boycotted every time a corp committed a crime, you would quickly find yourself using no products or services at all.

You say that like it would be a bad thing.

Don't be an idiot and start boycotting all at once, but it's an incredibly good idea to try and boycott as much as possible while being as independent as possible.

Remember, nothing is hated more than people who don't need what the establishment has (or rather, claims to has) to offer. Can you boycott everyone? Probably not. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try to better yourself by cutting these cancers borne out of a misguided sense of convenience out of your life. There's no reason to give up on bettering your circumstances just because you might not be able to make it to some idealistic hypothetical.

Also, I doubt OP has much issue with companies committing "crimes", broadly speaking, and more cares about what types of immoral/unethical actions they've undertaken. There's a big difference between a company fudging their tax numbers and a company utilising state powers against people to leave said targets financially ruined. Really pales in comparison to one another.

Funny how that shares a lot in common with D&C tactics.....

I remember the days when screenshots being shared around had an unspoken and unenforced rule to also include an archive URL at the same time....... Just edited in with paint or something. Real easy to do.

Of course. But by providing the category of "foreign national" and "German citizen", there is a very clear attempt at playing on pre-conceived notions to create an implication. By publishing at least part of their names, it becomes much clearer who is doing what.

It's like how England uses "Asians" when discussing Arabs. Sure, it might be a technical definition, but there is a VERY big difference in culture between a Chinese person and an Afghani.

Or do you think the way that these people are raised, that their backwater culture and beliefs play absolutely no role into any part of it? Because make no mistake, the majority of people on that list are not ethnically, culturally, or even socially German. And if you don't think their own culture has anything to do with it, you better come up with a quick explanation as to why they're so disproportionately present among these kinds of statistics.

I’ve seen plenty of her videos and they’re pretty tame and not particularly objectionable.

Why do you think they chose her in this manner? If she wasn't tame and was saying spicier things, she'd simply be labelled as a crazy to be ignored. But a somewhat moderate? That's a threat. That's risky to swing-voters.

Remember, the biggest threat for leftists are those that might sway other leftists away from leftism. That's why commies hate fascism. That's why liberals hate populism. They're threatened by the ideologies that ultimately appeal to leftists in some way or another.

You wear your agenda on your sleeve, don't shy away from it now because it's being explicitly stated by someone else.

It's not even a new lie at that. And while I know it's all "it's just like [insert media here]", but even back in 2007 this lie was known as a lie when it was explicitly stated as such in Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. And I think that most people know this. But they don't want to say it. Because they've been conditioned to never say things that aren't nice. That are uncomfortable. That challenge pre-conceived notions.

The only thing white people did with their arrival was give Natives further means to slaughter each other in greater ways through guns. Every civilisation on the planet has slaughtered another. The greatest lie on earth is that peace is the normal state of affairs. Peace has been a blip on our history. A rather nice blip. But a blip all the same.

I'd also add travel costs as part of the equation too, and that's two fold from both the perspective of raising prices as well as just general financial awareness as you get older (for most people, at least).

Between the idea of planning, time being more valuable, increasing costs and general financial awareness, it's not unreasonable to see that people are travelling less. Which is a shame, because the more paranoid part of me wonders if this will lead to greater adoption of things like 5 minute/walkable "cities".
